I am a democrat because i do not like bush what so ever and i am not all that wealthy.

I am an independant. I believe in a strong, small government. I believe in an unbiased foreign policy. I believe in protecting and helping American citizens first, before helping and defending other countries. I believe in protecting the environment. I believe in the rights afforded to us by the Constitution, including the Right to Bear Arms. I am anti-abortion in most cases. I believe in tax cuts for everyone, not just the wealthy. I believe that marriage is a basic human right, gay or straight.\n\nI side with Democrats on some of these issues, and Republicans on others. I, personally, do not like Bush and what he's done to this country. I dislike and distrust both political parties equally. One of my favorite quotes is Abraham Lincoln; “A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.”. We need more statesmen and fewer politicians.

The word conservate and liberal do not mean shit! Both parties have voted against the poor and working class. The GOP (grand overclass party) represents the rich and powerful more than the Democrates but their are many Repubo-crates out there too. \n\nBoth parties blow and Bush is the worst of them all!

Jim W you are funny.  From just talking to liberals and democrats, I find that ,that is their motto.  Hate republicans because they are rich and only care about rich people.  Blah blah blah.  I know, I was raised in a Hispanic home where they tried to teach me that.  Luckily, I can think for myself and see what the democrats are all about.\n\nAs for Bill and Hillary, let them, none of it came from me.

I was not going to vote at all cause I think both parties are useless when it comes to caring about the me factor. But since this mudslinging campaigning started to go on and the left media kept throwing padded polls to show the democrats ahead I said screw it and will vote republican, I started doing more and more research and democrats are a scary bunch. I did so much digging and cant find any of their solutions to the "issues" but I sure see a lot of bashing....it shows me a child like thought process, the republicans are more of the responsible party to the point at least they dont change their path because the media says its unpopular. The republican base that was ignored in the polls will come out and vote and yes the Kerry thing was the icing on the cake. A Senator that opens up an does a freudian slip and let his true feelings about the military pop out, even people that served with him in vietnam side against him, showing his true character or lack of.....

i don't like democrats, simply because they want to put everyone on welfare and tell them that it's alright to not have a job because you are depressed.\nSome people will work very hard to support you but you do not have to contribute to society except to spread your legs (again) and have more kids that you can't afford. \nDemocrats also believe that illegal aliens should have more rights than tax paying American citizens.

Nope. I don't like Kerry either. When did this flippin country become 2 party! Republicans and Democrats are both the same. Neither uphold the Constitution! Both are big spenders at our expense, yet they are MILLIONAIRES! And both of them are liars! Regular Americans who aren't political party jaded need to take this country back. Uphold the Constitution, and downsize Washington before we all get taken by a corporate buyout.

I am hard working (a mason) and a Republican.In fact I might even be able to benefit from Democrat control as my son is disabled and I am a single parent .I simply believe we should do our best to provide for ourselves and that this is a land of opportunity.I don't have money in the market but I want those that do to do well if they can then that means a better chance for me.\n Our economy is great employment is great I am at a loss as to what the new direction is.

Hey thanks a lot. Its awfully nice of an enlightened liberal like you to make such a silly generalization. Not all republicans are rich, or white. No more than all democrats ar poor, or black, or gay, or whatever. We are all just people. Once we all recognize that, maybe we can put aside our petty differences, and make a real change for the better.

By this definition I guess I could be.  By my definition, voting Democrat is politically retarded.\n\nI'd much rather be retarded than Democrat though!

I voted for Bush, Kerry had no plan, like the Democrats.  He could not wait to change his mind on every issue, and is too high and mighty. If I were to marry someone worth 50 million and then divorce her and marry someone worth 500 million I bet people would call me a gold digger.

1. I am a registered Democrat (although I do consider myself far more liberal-minded than most typical Dems).\n2. I have affiliated myself with this party because I feel Democratic politicians do a better job at representing interests that serve the working class middle Americans; for instance-Dems are more likely to raise minimum wage, more likely to push for social assistance programs, more likely to work towards improving health care and education just to name a few.  I would rather align myself with a more liberal party, but the way our two-party system has evolved, I feel that I would truly be non-effective.  One of my liberal ideals--because we live in a "free" country, I believe we should have the freedom to make choices, provided those choices do not harm others, and our government should pass laws to protect us in our choices.\n3. I can't say there was any one issue that had me join the party, nor did I realize right away that I would become so partisan.  When I first became interested in how my government affects my life, it was because of a bill Bill Clinton passed that allowed me to deduct my college tuition.  It was a huge help to me since I was attending a community college that did not offer student loans, and I had to pay for tuition as I went along.  I do not think I would have been able to make it through school if it weren't for this bill.  Since then, there have been a number of ideas (most often proposed by Democrats) that I have agreed with.  One thing I currently support about the Democratic party is the idea of justice and equality for all.  The idea that it is okay to deny a person rights or privileges based on differences (such as sexual orientation) I find extremely un-American.\n5. The Democratic party is definitely less unified than the Republicans, and I believe this has been detrimental to our country over the past ten years.\n\nI hope this helps you with your homework.  And I hope you come to really enjoy politics.  I wasn't very interested in politics in h.s. but in the twelve years since I have been out of school, I have come to realize how interesting the whole democratic process is.  This is OUR country, and it is up to us younger Americans to learn all we can about our past so we can take adequate charge of our future.  Good luck!

I disagree with his war and I can't stand him. I am Democratic and proud of it! I vote straight Democrat in every election. This past May in my voting district, all the Republicans switch to a Democrat ticket. They were running out of Democrat Ballots and had to call for more. Americans are tired of seeing our military being killed for his stupid war!!

I was born ignorant and a Democrat voted for Jimmy Carter but Reagan convinced me that Democrats just wanted more and more tax money to spend.  Bush I convinced me that Repulicans also like to spend tax money so much they'll raise taxes too.  So I vote for Perot.  That got us Clinton.  \n\nNow I'm a Libertarian and we are going to kick the other two phony party's out of power, Some day.  I joined them because they are the only party based on the same principles under which this country was founded.
