can someone tell me a clear cut of the views of both parties? I'm a bit confused on what they stand for because so many people have different versions.

Saw a comic say that the Democratic Party is a party of no ideas, and the Republican Party one of bad ideas.

Kind of hard to give a delineated view as there are factions within each party. There are liberal Republicans and there are conservative Democrats. And then there are the idiots in the current administration. :p

Yeah but does anybody in their right miond actually believe that a Kerry Administration is going to be head and shoulders better than the DUb's?

The best reason I can see for voting for Kerry is it will enable someone like McCain to gain the Whitehouse in 2008. On the other hand 4 more years of the Dub might ensure the Diesal Bitch Hillary access to the White House (Shudder!!)

Wheatmaster: there is in THEORY a fundamental difference between the democrat and republican parties. In reality however, there is very little difference. Both parties consist of collectivists. The Republicans want your money for social security and defense, the Democrats want your money for social welfare.

You'd be better served by asking the difference between Conservatives and Liberals armed with the knowledge that the majority of Conservatives are Republican while ALL liberals are Democrats.

Basically Republicans are for the old Darwinism, make it big and survive, earn alotta money, and you're not supposed to care about the ppl you get rich of.
Democrats are supporters of welfare, they wan't everybody to be happy and care about others than them.

This is very square, and only the really fundamentalistic republicans, like bush, are that square about things. (But maybe he's just stupid)

You know, despite Conservative efforts to turn the word Liberal into an epithet, it really ain't so bad.

No such thing, they are both members of the same Corrupt Rich Boys Club. It's mob rule, whichever one happens to get the most Thugs in Office wins these days. Nothing confusing about that, shrugs.

Actually, you're probably right. Perhaps I should have said ALL Conservatives are Republicans, ALL Liberals are Democrats (or worse), and Moderates flip-flop between the two.

Conservatives don't trust their government to run a public school down the street but somehow believe federal bureaucrats can transform an entire nation in the alien culture of the Middle East. Democrats don't trust the governemnt to treat bad people nice and believe if you only spent more money in public schools all our problems would go away. Thier both idealists and cost us money.

Not all Conservatives are Republican, a lot of them are Libetarians.
