Without mentioning President Bush, why are you a Republican? If you are not sure exactly what a Democrat and a Republican is, do some reseach, then post your answer.

I think not mentioning President Bush makes for a better point to be a Republican
I don't know if that makes sense, but it's a jab at Bush. It's early, and I'm tired.
I like the idea of tax cuts. I don't like that Democrats usually like to up taxes. If there are democrats that give tax cuts, I will vote for them

Because I identify most with that party. I don't agree with everything, but if I made a list, Republican would have more checks by it. Also, I have progressed into a Republican. I was Liberal first, then Democrat.

Personally i side with the republicans because we hold many of the same ideals for this great nation.
Lower taxes
Less laws
Greater Personal Freedom
Strong Defense
America First
American Ideals
As much as i like some of our allies we must remember our fellow countrymen first. We must be defended in order to defend others. We must create wealth in order to aid others. We must be free in order to bring freedom to others. A smaller more business like government would be more effective and more cost efficient.
We as a nation must recognize that we have a national culture, and it is a great one at that. Countries the world over emulate every facet of America. There is a reason why America has a problem with immigration and not emigration. America has always been the land of freedom. We must keep that, we can not afford to allow others to change us to be more like them. We have taken the best of the worlds ideas and created something to envy. For that reason is why so many would like to see us change and see us fall.
Basically i would say that i identify with the Republicans because i love my country. I love my county men. I can't wait to see our future.

I consider myself a Republican because overall my views are more conservative than those of Democrats. I don't agree with the Republican position on many issues, but as I said, overall, I am more conservative than liberal.

Because the party at least stands for good laws, sound principles and sanity, even though it is presently flawed.
The Democrat party is completely insane and wants to throw away good laws and decency altogether, in favor of liberalism and what feels good, and debiliating and making cripples out of people to depend upon them like sick whores.

I've just always been a republican because my parents are staunch republicans.. I've never voted for a republican for president though so I should probably just go ahead and switch..
