Answer 1

well, there you go. No difference whatsoever. Just the scandals change, that's all

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean. If you are referring to the Democrat and Republican parties, it's merely called that based on a Congressional majority. Currently, the United States has a Democratic government. But if you are referring to the two forms of government, Republic and Democracy, here is how they differ. A democracy is based on the idea that everyone is politically equal, and each have a say in politics. The one person, one vote principal gives way to a majority rules principal, in which the most popular idea (by a majority win of above 50%) is law. A Republic is very similar, since the people do have a considerable impact on government. In this case, however, the people do not vote directly on most issues, but instead vote for representatives to do their bidding in sort of parliament. Republics also usually have some head of state, like a president or prime minister.

Answer 3

The Democrats don't take over until January. Right now they're in planning mode and consensus mode. That means they come to decisions with each other and with the other parties.

This government was voted in by the people who wanted to see everyone involved and included in the decision making. This time, no one will be left out. The only way it will work is if citizens refuse to see a divided country-- a country with red, blue, democrat and republican.

Everything that happens now shows that it is better when Americans act as one, shed the hate and the discrimination.

There's no time to put up walls. Stop complaining. Everyone is in this together-- get involved and be proud of what you can do..

Answer 4

We don't have a party. The Democrats are practically socialists; the Republicans are closer to corporate fascists.
"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power." : Benito Mussolini
Neither one offers anything but rhetoric.
The Republican Party is not now, never was and never will be a conservative party. It is what it has always been – a representative of the rich and of big business.
A true conservative recognizes that the Constitution is a binding contract that should be interpreted literally and in the context of the time at which it was written and ratified. A Constitution that means anything a judge says it means nothing.
