Can someone give me a short summary of what a republican and democrat is. And an example of each like Bush is a republican. Also what does liberal, right wing, and left wing mean?

Republicans believe the corporations are smarter than people and should be allowed to help decide what the laws should be. They believe that the government should not help people, but that people should help themselves, unless they are large corporations or industries.
They also believe that bombing families will fight terrorism, and that Americans don't really need all the rights they have. They believe in small government, and to keep it small they make huge increases in military and law enforcement. They are big on making things up, believing things without proof, and hypocrisy.
That doesn't even mention their penchants for stealing from Indians, going after underage boys, hating gay people, blaming black people for their situations, kicking their sisters out of the family or just beating them up

There is no short answer, and the worst part is neither sides elected leaders stick to their agenda. The "right = republican" is suppose to represent business, less government, individual and state rights over the big bad goverment. They rights mantra is personal responsibility. The "left = democrat" is more about using goverment to solve problems, bigger government, tax mostly the rich (though they have a hard time defining that) and freedom from government intrusion (privacy).
The funniest part is the Republicans have expanded government when in office and the Democrats try to run like conservates (right) during an election.

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.
The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars.
Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats

people interior the U. S. seem continuously drowsing, you adult men save questioning that Democratic or Republican partys have ideology and persons communicate approximately modifications and incredibly ineffective issues like that, people from the U. S. are so ruled by capacity of huge media and you supply various credibility to what they say, you're no longer understanding that they are utilising you as a criminal framework to invade sovereign international places to scouse borrow their oil and water. Republicans and Democratics are the comparable.. the two want conflict and sell US invasion to sovereign international places yet make up by capacity of asserting: Democrats helps GAYS and Abort and Republicans do no longer. and Republicans LOVE united states and united states could desire to be the POLICE of international and Democrats do no longer. incredibly ineffective arguments like those. i'm no longer telling you to kill, to destabilize or something, in basic terms awaken!

Start with this. D=Dem, Lib, Left; R=Rep, Con, Right.
D: Believe all wealth belongs by right to the govt.
R: Believe all wealth belongs by right to those who earn it.
D: Think that it is protected speech to yell fire in a crowded theater.
R: Think it is protected speech to yell movie in a crowded firehouse.
D: Think all opinions are equally valid.
R: Know that there is a difference between right & wrong.
D: Think that we need to ask "UN may I?" before defending ourselves
R: Are ready to defend ourselves no matter what anyone else says.
D: Think that the Constitution is a suicide pact.
R: Know that President Lincoln was correct when he said it wasn't.
This should give you a pretty good idea.

republican...the REBUPLIC is what they are concerned about the most, at least in their speak...that the govennment....the welfare of the government is of prime importance
democrat...DEMOCRACY is their main concern, at least in their speak....govt OF, FOR and BY the PEOPLE
it never completely works out by the definitions, but thats the difference in the meanings
Good ole abe was for the republic...SAVE THE UNION !!! and led to the deaths of 600,000 americans in the civil war
Good ole George is for the republic....so expect similar thinking and results
liberal....liberated in thought then actions...but they desire to enforce their views upon you, no matter what you personally believe or think
left wing...far extreme side of a liberal, for instance, Nancy Polosi in San Francisco, who would like to make the man boy love openly enforced in the us
right wing...far extreme side of a conservative
its really a no win situation for the average joe
you can have a mad man in charge of our military using it so he can stuff his pockets
or you can have a man man in charge of our moral standards as a country using it for power, money and glory
good luck friend

Republicans are FOR all that is good and decent and Democrats are against what Republicans are FOR. They have no ideas of their own.
