Are you Republican, or Democrat, and why?

Answer 1

I don't consider myself to be on one specific side. I usually vote towards democrat and libertarian.

Answer 2

I am neither Republican or Democrat. As an Arkansan I am bound to the Democrat party, Mostly because I like to vote in the local elections. I am, However, a Thinker. So I cannot simply tick off the box next to the name with the big "D" next to it. As a Conservative I find more in common with the Republicans, But again I am a Thinker so I do not simply check all the names with "R" beside it either.

None of our founding fathers were Democrat or Republican. They made this country on the Hope that its populace would inform itself on the Issues at hand. They hoped that we would not allow ourselves to be drawn into the Insanity of never-ending War, that had plagued Europe for the better part of Two Millennium. A place where Ideas would be debated and compromise would reign supreme.

We have failed them in their hope. Deadlocking partisanship is as Anti-American as the people who would drive planes into civilian buildings and nearly as destructive. Not all Republicans are Evil Saints. Nor are all Democrats Good Devils. We must find that which Unites Us. Or we shall perish under the weight of our own Arrogance.

Answer 3

I am a Republican. I am against abortion, since 98% of abortions are used as a birth control method. I don't think our government should decide on human issues like this but because of the infinite conflict, the government felt it had to step in and make a ruling(Roe VS Wade). They need to now make a judgement call on when life begins. Conception.

I believe in the war against terrorism. But we shouldn't be in Iraq, just like we shouldn't of been in Vietnam.

For the first time in my adult life as a voter I am ashamed to be connected as a republican with our current regime in the white house. But I do continue to hold on to the fact that my one vote makes a difference and am proud and priviledged to be an American voter in our country.

I don't believe as a Democrat may that the government has to save or fix everyone. Welfare, WIC, Food stamps, making voting materials in multiple languages, etc. for those who can work and should work but don't. Too many allotments programs are bleeding the taxpayers dry. Where will it all end.

Answer 4

I grew up in a Republican household, but my dad was a Goldwater Republican, so he believed in a lot of Liberal ideals.

He encouraged me to learn for myself.

In college, I studied History, didn't care if it was a D or an R that came up with something, just wanted to know if it worked, why and what the effect was for each individual event or policy.

As I began studying Economics, I soon realized that the Republicans either didn't understand economics or didn't care. I shifted pretty far to the left then, which of course made me a Democrat.

However, I am still conservative on several issues, such as Pedophiles and Drunk Drivers.

Conservative economic policies have threatened to destroy our nation before, and they threaten to do so again. They are extremely effective at lying to the public about the effects of their policies, but we usually gain enough power to thwart them.

It is critical that we stop them at this point, because we may forever lose that ability as their power and wealth grow.

Answer 5

In ancient times I was initially a Democrat, until I realized its absurdities of endless tax and spend for social programs, and that the 40 years of Democratic control of the Congress skyrocketed taxes through the roof for pork-barrel spending, forcing both spouses in a household into labor, some holding down two jobs just to make ends meet, and subsequently this has helped to entirely destroy the American Family. So I became a Republican and have deemed the Democrats as the "Dum-ocrats". The Republican Party is into empowering the individual to be independent from the government, whereas the Dum-ocrat Party is into brainwashing its constituency into believing the individual is helpless and hopeless without total dependence upon government. Hence, when Dum-ocrats are in charge Welfare numbers increase, and when Republicans are in charge Welfare numbers decrease. The Republican Party is into reducing government, and reducing taxes so that the citizens keep more of their own money to energize the economy. The Dum-ocrats are into taking as much of your money as possible, producing reduced economic development, fat and rich politicians, and unemployment because businesses have to pay higher taxes under the Dum-ocrats and therefore layoff employees. Dum-ocrats use this ridiculous rationale against Republicans who want to reduce your taxes by saying, "How are you going to pay for that tax cut?" This is equal to saying, "How are you going to pay for that discount?" And the Dum-ocratic constituency fall for this propaganda, hook, line and sinker. It's unbelievable.

Answer 6

A Republican because they are the moral party. I vote for values and I've not found it in the Democrat party. I said I would go with the party that had the values and so far it's the Republicans. Oh, I expect to be slammed for saying this but that's ok, I don't get bothered when it's something I believe in!

Answer 7

democrat. I believe in helping others like a good Christian.

I believe in programs that help such as:

Medicare and Medicaid
Americorps
Peacecorps
Social Security
Meals on wheels
Head start
FEMA without Brown leading it.
Clean Water Act
Pell grants
student loans
human genome project
GI bill
Earned income Tax Credit
WIC

and many more.

Answer 8

I am a Republican- I believe in states rights and less federal programs, I also think we need to do something big about illegal
immigrants, and not amnesty! I do also think we need to keep a very strong military and rid the world of terrorists. On social issues I'm more liberal I don't think the government should say who we can and can not marry. I am anti abortion but don't believe it is a political issue, except in the case of partial birth abortions (anyone who thinks they are OK is a monster, in my opinion.)

Answer 9

I am neither! Although I am totally fed up with all the lies and the killing by the current administration!
I would like to see a intelligent, self thinking person who respects human life be the leader of the free world

Answer 10

I am independent but lean strongly towards Republicans. As an investigative journalist, I have learned that Democrats lie too easily and are too closely associated with anti-American Socialist/Communist ideology.

A simple test: Who would utter the following phrase?

"Fidel Casto is really a good guy, just misunderstood."

Republican or Democrat?

Bear in mind that Fidel is an avowed enemy of non-Socialist nations and has sent troops and media producers to aid in their overthrow globally, from south America to Africa, Angola, France, etc.
