They have the same goals, are backed by the same companies, and will probably do pretty much the same sorts of things when they get into office.
Best bet, find a third party candidate that you like and vote for them.

A democrat will sit under his/her desk and scream like a little girl when there is a problem. A republican will probably make the problem so bad that we wont be able to fix it. I would either vote for one of your friends not vote at all. My logic on voting is that, I do not want to be one of the people to be blamed for picking the wrong person to make desicions for us. Do you want a group of people pointing at you, blaming you for voting for the person that decided allowed their children to go into the army for no reason whatsoever, and chances are getting killed? If it were up to me, I would rather have to vote ever 20 minutes of my life than to have one person make all the decisions for me. I dont think we should have anyone in change of "our rights". From the declaration of independence: The statement of basic human rights: We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal (that has yet to happen), with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life (are you happy with it?), liberty (ha ha ha), and the persuit of happiness (are you happy with the job you are stuck with, the thousands of dollars you are paying in taxes, surcharges, laws, and being raped of every right?) Did you know that part of your rights are the ability to overpower the government if they are in any way chancing something that may be of harm with you? Or that they are not permitted to make any tax adjustment without your agreement on it (Majority vote)?
I dont know about you, but I would like to be my own person. Have you ever read "1984", if not, do so, I would be expecting such a thing within the next 30-40 years.

You should vote for the best candidate, the one who more closely matches your beliefs.
Check out their voting records, if they don't have a history of voting along the way you would, vote for the other guy.
If you are not happy with either the Republican or Democratic candidate vote for a third party candidate.
But don't blindly vote for a party, vote the issues and how that candidate will handle them.

The Democratic and Republican parties are only two of the recognized parties which political candidates represent. In many elections you have the option to vote for candidates representing other political ideologies such as Independent, Green, Libertarian, Labor, Reform, etc. You also have the right to vote for a 'write-in' candidate; one that doesn't represent a particular party, but for whom a sufficient number of petitioners have chosen to appear on a ballot.
The United States is a unique and great nation in that each individual has an equal opportunity to choose among a diverse group of candidates who represent their specific interests in determining how their country is run.
In order to be an informed voter, you first need to become acquainted with your own interests regarding political, social, and economic issues with which our government negotiates. Once familiar with your own views, study each individual candidate and the parties each represents in order to determine which one is most aligned with your ideals.
In this way you'll be exercising your individual rights and helping to ensure a fair and balanced representation of the citizens of our nation.

You should vote for the best person for the job. Don't worry about them being Democrat or Republican. These are just labels that don't even matter.

You need to check the candidate before you check thepolitical party, but over all, the Republican Party leans toward conservative views most of the time of the time and the Democrats lean to the left most of the time. It depends on what you need and what your issues are.
