Neither.
Neither party represents their constituents. They go to Washington and follow their parties instructions (or get the Joe Liebermen treatment). The parties are only concerned with appeasing the special interests, lobbyists and corporations who donated to their election funds, to keep the cash flowing in.
The voters (us) are a necessary evil, something to be dealt with until they can find a way to get into (and keep their office) without the annoying constituents always crying about taxes.
As long as we have this two party system in place we have taxation without representation, except we vote the people into office knowing that they ignore us.

Democrats, and it's not even close. The Republicans have done nothing at all to gain my trust. I believe that Democrats will actually search for complicated answers to complicated questions & complicated problems. The world is NOT black & white as the Republicans seem to want to portray everything. Issues are complicated - and man - we have some big time issues to take care of - Iraq, the War on Terror, North Korea -- and that's just the foreign issues. At home we have so much to think about, too - healthcare, education, social security, social issues which are important to everyone. Even the simplest of issues really isn't simple. These issues are HARD....and the "anti-intellectual" attitude I so often feel coming from Republicans just doesn't work for me. I want some real thinkers - some real intellectuals in there really thinking about how to creatively solve these deep & complex problems. I have more faith in Democrats to tackle these problems than modern-day Republicans.

I don't belong to either party, but I would trust the Democrats more. Jesus was once asked how a person is to tell the good from the unrighteous, and Jesus replied, "You will know them by their fruits." This means, of course, that you will know whether a person is genuinely good or genuinely bad by that which he or she immediately produces. Everybody claims to want goodness and work toward goodness (well, almost everybody), but the Hitlers, Saddam Husseins and Pat Robertsons hope to get to goodness by oppressions and killings (these are thier fruits), while the genuinely good will produce goodness now. Justice is goodness by way of goodness. The Democratic philosophy intends to help the poor and suffering by directly helping or legislatively supporting the poor and suffering, not by some putative "trickle down" effect.

This is a trick question, right?
Who you agree with more or who does more of what you want are reasonable questions, but surely both have long ago worn out their trustworthiness. No one on either side can be counted on to actually do what they say anymore...

READ MY LIPS - NO NEW TAXES (....oye)
I DID NOT have sexual relations with that woman (...aye)
WE DO NOT TORTURE... Abu Ghraib was just a few tortured souls.... oh wait, can we redefine torture (....oye)
WE DO NOT have CIA black site-----yes we had few locations but it was in the interest of the American people...your interests.
IRAQ has weapons of mass destruction and they are pointed at us......
Don't trust in a two party system where members cannot represent their own view, Save for what's his face in Rhode Island... He's a liberal disguised as a Republican... but he voted no for Iraq, no for torture, no for spying on the US populace.

How can you trust anyone or anything that says they are part of the 'Moral Majority' and everything they do is anathema to those principles.
Killing, sexual abuse/assualt, inhumanity, warmongering, hatred, false patriotism.

I don't trust democrats. How could anyone trust anyone who supports a party that has no morals?

The American People Trust Dems more according to recent polling.
Alot of it has to do with the Republican culture of corruption.

I trust the Republicans more than the dems because of WOT. They want to cut and run. I want to keep my head.
