Or do both?

It is definitely not the Republican Party. They wear their positions on their sleeves. Bush has been hammered because he sticks to his positions. I don’t think anyone from the democratic party can tell you what they stand for beyond abortion, gay marriage, anti-troops and isolationism. The democrats have never put a social security reform package on the table—the Republicans have. They have never offered a solution to terrorism except cut and run.
I am not sure if the liberals are hiding their position or hiding the fact that they don’t have a position on most issues other than hating Bush.

They both present their "true positions" but those positions are generally camouflaged by code words.
The Dems say everyone should pay their "fair share of taxes" which means that there should be a graduated tax schedule with the more you make/have, the higher the rate you pay.
The Reps say everyone should pay their "fair share of taxes" which means that there should be a more of a flat tax schedule where everyone pays the same rate, regardless of how much you make.
Finally, both Dems and Reps are forced to compromise part of their stated positions in order to get some of what they promised.

Both of them! But right now, if you listen to the Democrats, you will see that they don't have a position. Oh wait a minute! Yes they do! It's called cut and run and the rights of the terrorists are more important than the security of this country!

i think both. it always seems strange to me that some people hate liberals so much, and others are so anti-republican.
neither side has done much of anything on the real issues for our country. it's all a game. they try to polarize the public on certain issues, but really those issues are not the central ones we should be dealing with.

Both do. Any intelligent person can tell you that. If they were just bar-none with their stances, 9 times out of 10, you wouldn't vote for them.

Both, but I think democrats do it because they want to help people mostly.. republicans do it maliciously.
