It's called hypocrisy. You see it a lot in politics.

You are very confused. Deomcrats on the whole support a sort of "utopian" society which is very hard to achieve due ot the current conditions of our life. However, it still behooves you to research and undestand what causes are supported by your local politician are and vote for them.
It is a tricky road and fraught with $$$$$$$$$$$$ (aka $$$ influence), but that is the best gov't system we have right now.
Good luck in your reasoning.

A little story about Joe and hypocrisy:
"Joe gets up at 6AM and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. Making it with some tap water that is clean and safe because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some commie-liberal fought for paid medical insurance which Joe gets. His morning breakfast, bacon and eggs, are safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the packing industry to clean standards.
Joe then walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor. Joe has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these great working standards. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It is noon and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers the same ones that ruined the banking system causing the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state-funded university.
After work, Joe drives to visit his father at his home in the country. Joe's car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. Joe arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. Joe is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself when he was older so Joe wouldn't have to.
On the ride home, Joe turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the Republicans have fought against every single on of these protections and benefits that Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I do everyday."
There are a lot of us Christians out here who are "liberals". We take Christ's teachings very seriously.

you're precise, the Dems could've voted no for a conflict that we would desire to consistently under no circumstances are turning out to be in touch in. the justifications for going into Afghanistan have been sound on the time yet i replaced into under no circumstances offered on the Iraq conflict. First it replaced into approximately 9/11 and Iraq's involvement, then it replaced into WMD's, then it replaced into we would desire to circulate because of the fact we would be helping the voters, blah, blah, blah. I help the troops because of the fact they have been doing their jobs, they have made super sacrifices. i will't help yet think of that quite than blame anybody component that each and everyone factors are culpable; the President on the time and his cronies for advertising us right into a conflict we would desire to consistently not be in, and the Dems for not having a backbone and vote casting no for the conflict. we would desire to quit casting blame and basically wish that those in skill make smarter options going forward in our coverage for the area.

I've always pictured Democrats as knowing the problems, knowing what the outcomes should be, and having no idea at all as to how to get those outcomes.
I've always pictured Republicans as knowing the problems, knowing what to do with the problems, and havind no idea at all as to what the outcomes will be.
