what are the differances between republican and democrat i still don't get it?

Answer 1

the names

Answer 2

The difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can be best illustrated as the difference between Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy, both democrats and Presidents Herbert Hoover and George W Bush, both republicans, or the difference between night and day.

Answer 3

New Orleans became based by ability of the french because of the fact its on the mouth of the Mississippi. its a organic place to place a city. a organic commerce hub. why positioned a city on a coast in a community companies to hurricanes? why construct cities in twister alley? why construct a city companies to Heavy lake effect snows (buffalo) or interior the direction of a barren area (las Vegas) or next to a mountain that would desire to be a volcano. or on an energetic volcanic Island. there are constantly motives that outweigh the 'hazard of a organic disaster' yet I consider your synapses of Galveston being one hundred circumstances greater arranged for a typhoon than New Orleans became. NO is likewise a distinctive demographic then Galveston is.

Answer 4

The biggest difference is in the way they frame the issues in their minds. Both parties compare America and Americans to family and morals, but each have their own model.

The Republicans have the Strict Father Model, and the Democrats have the Nurturant Parent Model, and this is the way they relate to the government and how the government should be run. It is very fascinating.

Answer 5

Republicans take from the poor and give to the rich. Democrats let the poor keep a little.

Answer 6

I'll be honest. The differences are pathetic. The biggest difference is that Republicans support less government-economic influence, and more government-social influence. Democrats support just the opposite.

Answer 7

Democrat men wear bigger shoes and Democrat women have a smaller dress size

Go big Red Go

Answer 8

The basic difference is that Republicans follow a conservative philosophy and Democrats follow a liberal philosophy.

A liberal would say that a proper role for government is to regulate and oversee the economy. Liberals say it's proper for government to ensure that companies do the right thing (such as pay minimum wages), and to ensure that people act responsibly in their finances (such as requiring contributions to retirement savings).

A conservative would say that a proper role for government is to regulate and oversee morality. Conservatives say it's proper for government to ensure that people are punished for immoral acts (such as taking drugs), and that people act appropriately in their marriages (such as banning homosexual marriage).

A libertarian would say that neither of those is a proper role for government. Libertarians say that the only proper role is to maintain an army for defense against invasion, to maintain a court system for ensuring justice, and other constitutionally defined roles.

A populist would say that both economic and moral intervention are proper roles for government.

Some people classify libertarians as conservatives and some classify populists as liberals. Those definitions fall apart when libertarians talk about moral issues like abortion (pro-choice) or drugs (pro-legalization).

Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan both consider themselves "populists," but the press usually classifies Nader as liberal and Buchanan as conservative. Yet they agree entirely on their most important issue, opposing free trade and globalization.

The problem with a one-dimensional definition like liberal and conservative is that it doesn't define well political reality. The two-dimensional definition is better.

There's a political quiz based on this way of looking at politics -- see http://quiz.OnTheIssues.org
It explains the same as above and selects which presidential candidate matches your views on the issues based on that scheme.

Answer 9

I read somewhere that Republicans love America in the way a child loves their parent. With complete blind love that can see no flaws.

Democrats love America like an adult loves their parents. You can appreciate the struggle they have been through, and you love them with a mature love that sees their goodness but also recognizes the things they could improve.

Answer 10

The wise old elephant versus the jackass. lol.

Republicans tend to be more conservative and the Democrats tend to be more liberal. Although there's a bit of a ying-yang to that too.

**Democrats can't take a joke either** Sheesh!
