If I had never met you and told you I was a Democrat, what assumptions would you make about my beliefs and lifestyle?

Please don't respond with what you'd think about my intelligence or character.

None whatsoever. Democrats have a broad following from all walks of life.

Generally speaking, would it truly matter what others thought of you? There is a perception, however that the democratic party is being led by socialist-conforming influences. The democrat field is entirely composed of extreme left-wing candidates with no representation from moderates. The real issue should not be whether one is for democrat versus republican, but for right versus wrong (and in the best interest of the country altogether).

I would assume you tended toward the liberal end of the spectrum. You likely would concider items like education, healthcare and environment to be the top issues. You are probably against the operations in Iraq. Odds say you probably don't have a gun. You are likely anti death penalty yet pro choice. You likely drive a smaller car and recycle. You likely are for affirmative action. You probably live on or near one of the larger coastal cities.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing on most points, I guessed correctly.

That you believe in the opposite things that I believe in, and your lifestyle is anything but what mine is. I would have pity on you, but then realize that you don't care. Your politics are governed by your feelings and not your logic.... if it "feels good" it must BE good.

As for your intelligence and character, I will keep those observations to myself, as you requested.


Have a right-wing day.

None, how you talk, acted, dressed appeared would make a much more impression than if you said you were a democrat.

I really have no Democrat stereotypes. I have had the misfortune to only live in incredibly conservative parts of the U.S. thus I really don't have any Democratic stereotype pinned down that is not really related to character or intelligence.

Based on what the Democrats stand for today I would assume you are a blind Marxists. I say a blind Marxist in that most Democrats I have spoken with do not understand that Marxism is the source of their socialist ideas.

Liberty is why America has prospered not government programs. The light bulb, the airplane and so-forth all a result of Liberty. Socialism actually inhibits this type of innovation.

For example take at look at the U.S. Communist Party website and see if there is any appreciable difference between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party here in the America. http://www.cpusa.org/

I have a similar opinion of most Republicans. Sometimes I think people stand behind their party like it’s a football team and really do not fully understand what they are standing behind.

Vote for RON PAUL!

I'd assume that your parents were most likely also Democrats, that you were probably blue-collar, and that you were probably slightly (or more) to the left of center.

EDIT: What's with the thumbs down? For once I was being nice! These are sociological FACTS. I wasn't bad-mouthing anyone. Geez, you guys are thin-skinned, even when there's nothing about which to BE thin-skinned.

Probably would think you are pro-choice, like Clinton, a member of PETA, anti-gun (that one is a 50-50).
