Mainly nowadays political party is more accompanied to the political theory one believes in.  Democrats usually relate to liberalism - socialistic, focus on individualism, and freedom to do what you want so long as you don't hold back anyone from doing what they want.  Republicans usuually relate to conservatism - capitalistic, focus on conformitiy, and a strong national government.  Of course they can be switched up, but often not.  The main reason nowadays for political parties is to simply seperate yourself from the other side in order to present a solid political platform.

Democrats are generally Liberals, they voted for Kerry. Republicans are generally conservative, they voted for Bush. Thats the difference.

Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same coin.  Republicans are pro gun anti abortion.  Democrats are anti gun, pro abortion.  Other than that it's all talk and smoke and infighting, they both serve their corporate masters.  When it comes to screwing over the working class and slowly taking away our freedoms it is bipartisan.

The Republican part is torn up by people like you who are socially liberal and economically conservative.  Your unwillingness to tax and spend won't make you welcome in the Democratic party though.  Libertarians are moderating some of their views - give them a second chance....

There are very few differences between the Dems and Reps, just a couple of policy issues. But basically they are the small percentage of the rich and powerful who will do anything to keep it that way. They are working together more then the public likes the believe and they want it that way, it keeps us divided rather then seeing the truth; that they are one party working for one goal.

Probably libertarian.  The republicans are spineless.  I've been disapppointed by them for the last time.

Here is how you can tell if you are a Democrat or a Republican:\n\nIf you think rich people need more money and poor people need less, you are a Republican.  If you think the opposite, you are a Democrat.

Democrats tend to think about what is best for the average citizen, Republicans favor corporations and the wealthy who can buy influence.   Also Republicans like wars.

Democrat.  I believe in their values more than the republicans.  Also, republicans just whine about everything.  Also, Bush is the dumbest person on the face of the universe.  You could fit his library in a little corner.

I am a democrat and never once had hatred for republican peers Last question is great BUT it should have been written  "Who in the republican and democratic parties has the character to stop the hating?"  Have an awesome day

I think the problem with this country right now is that both sides are grandstanding on each and every topic.  Mainstream America is neither Democratic or Republican.  Most Americans are independent, middle of the road types.  People should use their mind and the situation at hand to determine what stand they should take and what decision should be made.  Make a decision based on what political party you belong to is ludicris.  Call me a liberal Republican or a conservative Democrat, I really don't care.  But do call me an independent self thinking American.

Dem - I have alot of passion about the issues I believe in, and the Dems tend to be the party that represent my beliefs.\nI am Pro-Choice, and believe a women should have the right to decide what to do with her body.\nI am against the war in Iraq, but I absolutely support the troops.\nI am for less spending for defense, and more spending for education.\nI am against the current "tax-breaks" as they only help the top 1% of our population. The only people actually feeling any tax relief make over $750,000 per year.\nI am for gay marriage, and for that matter, equal rights for all races, and sexual orientation.\nThe reasons go on and on, but that's a pretty good summary.

No! The last generation of democrats were a lot closer to the center, whereas republicans truly were the rich upper crust.  That has all changed.  The John Kennedy democrat would be a republican today, except for Teddy, of coarse. Back then, the democratic party had morality, ideals and an honest message.  Today it is a play on words.  A game to catch the opposition failing to dot an I or cross a T.  They seem to wait in the wings, watching for the opposition to make a mistake so they can pounce on the situation in hopes of gaining support.  They react instead of act!  Today, my parents would have changed ideology, they could not align themselves with the likes of Clinton, Pelosi, Kennedy, Durbin, Gore or Kerry.
