Democrat or Republican? Are you?

Question

what do you think of your opposites?

Answer 1

I am an Independent. I was a Republican until last year, when I just couldn't take it anymore. If they stop being the party of plutocracy and nationalism, and go back to fiscal responsibility and libertarianism, I'll rejoin. Until then, the Democrats get most of my votes.

Answer 2

I am an Independent who votes mostly Democratic. I was a Republican up until around the 2000 election. I do not like what has become of the Republican Party or to the people that call themselves Republicans.

Answer 3

I'm a Democrat by registration, but I consider myself a liberal libertarian (If there is such a thing...many people consider that to be an oxymoron)

My opposite is a Neo-con or "social conservative". I don't think much of people who assume their ideals, religious beliefs, etc are universal truths by which the rest of us should live. This is a free country, and all ideals and religious beliefs are welcome.

I have no problem with Moderate Republicans or Conservatives who don't wish to impose their beliefs on others.

Answer 4

I'm independent so I also swing both ways. I have views from both parties but as this point I'm more Dem then republican. Can't we all just get along?

Answer 5

Republican.

I used to have a lot more respect for them. Their party has been taken over by a fringe element. Some good ones still there though. Being a PA native, I really liked Ed Rendell when I lived there, met him once and voted for him as Philly mayor. He's an example.

Answer 6

I don't vote based on party. I vote for the best candidate. Unfortunately there was no one worth voting for in the last two presidential elections.

Answer 7

I'm Republican.

This is what I see in the Democrat's camp:

Liberal administrations have cut America's defenses. Relying on talk and good intentions to preserve world peace, Democrats advocate sublimation of our sovereign interest to the authority of the United Nations.

The Democratic Party has, time and again, encouraged budget deficits and continues to fight plans to balance the federal budget, call for reducing the federal deficit through reductions in defense and tax increases, believe that "government shall provide..."

Democrats support efforts to make federal programs and benefits available to same sex couples.

This is what's going on with Republicans:

Republicans believe that the only way to preserve world peace is to have a powerful, prepared defense.

The Republican Party and its leaders are strongly opposed to domestic and international terrorism, and are committed to a policy that will make no concessions to terrorists.

The Republican Party believes in working diplomatically to help resolve dangerous regional conflicts and has achieved a reduction of nuclear weapons.

The Republican Party believes that the free enterprise system is the key to individual and national prosperity. Republicans seek to protect the free enterprise system against unwarranted government regulation, believe that "individuals shall prosper.."

Republicans believe the family is the foundations of our social order; the school of democracy, believe it is important that we reflect upon and consider carefully the impact of government actions upon family life.

In comparison:

Republicans: remedying poverty requires that we sustain and broaden economic recovery, hold families together, get government's hand out of their pocketbooks, and restore the work ethic.

Democrats: "For some, the goal of independence requires greater support and assistance from government. We pledge to provide that support."

Republicans support: able-bodied recipients of welfare to work, time limits on assistance, incentives to receive schooling or job training and pursuing"dead-beat dads" for child support.

Democrats vote against requiring recipients to work and time limits on welfare.

Answer 8

I think they are misguided, but I still like a few of em.

Answer 9

Welsh Nationalist.
All English people should leave my country.

Answer 10

Actually I am a switch-hitter. Both sides have good and bad points.
