why do women tend to be Democrats?

Republicans are more ideological.  Democrats are more touchy-feely.\n\nSo, if you see a lot of suffering... the touchy feely people want to throw money at the problem.  The ideological people want to look at the economics of what is causing the problem and fix the underlying causes and don't care about the people suffering right now or those that don't get helped by a market-based solution.\n\nThrough evolution, I think woman being more touchy-feely came about because of their unique role in raising children and responding to their needs.  So, my guess is that it's tougher for woman to see people suffering and not do anything about it, so they tend to be democrats.

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.

Neither party has an "official" stance on abortion, but Democrats are typically more likely to be pro-choice, and Republicans are more likely to be pro-life.\n\nEDIT: \nBoth parties claim to support education, but they go about delivering that support in different ways.

As a conservolican I tend to belive most ladies are closet politicos as they seem ready to argue but do not vote, I am not sure who you mean but I will keep an eye out.

Who says a woman cant? Some have the fear that she would run it with emotions and thoughtfulness rather than who could win and who can be in control.oddly, i believe most of those who think that,are men.Actually,i think a woman would get this country in order.Have you ever thought that that may just be what this country needs? some thoughtfulness and emotions even if it politics.Doesnt mean people shouldnt actually have feelings and care about the american people.Not just see them as "little"people or people who are below them in the system.

I don't know who the repuglican will be, it really don't matter to me as I will never vote to shoot myself in the foot. But on the democrat side I think Hillary has a chance to be the first woman candidate, and even more possible that she might be the first woman president. She is a strong, intelligent lady that will stand up for what is right. She would have one of the best advisers in the world in her husband, the last legally elected president and the most popular and successful.

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.

Yes. It takes a woman with gutts to stand up to criticism and hatred..... As you can see, Hillary Clinton is a very strong role model for those girls or young woman who want to grow up to be like her, because she is respected, compassionate and she continuously perseveres. She has the urge to always help others out when they are in need. She will continue to be a patriot and serve America to the best of her ability!

I'm not a democrat because I dont believe in supporting gays, abortion and things of that nature. Ya know? the whole liberal side of it. But at the same time i am for representation of minorities, Medicaid, and taking care of your citizens which is something that democrats were more succesful at in the clinton years than the Bush Admin is now.\n\nI'm not a republican because they are the money hungry elite of society and they are only out to run the country as if it were a corporation as well as their own underlying interest, whether that involves damaging the nation or not, as well as our foreign relations with others. Republicans are people who would send your fellow americans to battle for oil profits and not think twice of it.\n\nSo it's a two way street for me, but I will vote Democratic for the rest of my life because I've noticed just in my short life time that when a democrat is in office things tend to be a bit more calmer....Republicans like to start wars, and war ladies and gentleman is not the answer.

Because democrats generally want minorities to become wards of the state. Collect government benefits, and entitlements. They can't bear to see a minority become successful. Notice how they turn on them when they do? \nConservatives want minorities to be successful contributing members of society.

Basic conservative mindset. The strength of conservatives is that they tend to operate in a more organized, coherent, and group-minded fashion. \n\nLiberals tend to be more creative, more flexible, and as a result, often come up with different ideas about how to solve a problem. Since most Democrats are liberal to one degree or another, that also shows through in the lack of coherence in the Democratic party.\n\nThe only question is, can the all at least reach consensus about specific issues, and thus be able to accomplish those tasks? Time will tell.

If Democrats are demonic so are Republicans.  They want to solve the same problems, they just have a different method of solving such problems.

I am a Democrat, a real one.  One who believes in free speech, not speech just for my side.  One who believes in free expression, including of religion.  One who believes in equality, not special rights for certain groups.  One with ethics.\n\nI would never vote for First Lady Hilliary Clinton (respectful, always for the service she did our country, regardless of patriotic disagreement with some of the Clinton administration's policies), because she calls people names, spreads unfounded rumors, and even lies when it serves her purpose.  I would not vote for anyone who did so, and would hope that Republicans will continue to seek ethical, responsible men for their political ticket.\n\nOther real Democrats (not the childishly boorish people who are presently claiming the title) and I will be seeking an ethical representative for our party ticket.  One who is an American first, who respects majority vote and our electoral system, and has a party affiliation second.\n\nKeep speaking up with good questions like this, and don't tolerate the name-calling, sedition, and rumor-spreading, regardless of who does it.  Certainly don't elect them.\n\nExpect a person of character for the Democratic ticket in time.  We're back, and standing UP for the U.S.A. again.

As a general rule, women don't tend to feel the need for power like men do. I would welcome more women in politics. I noticed you mentioned the Bible here. There are a few good books that were edited out of the King James version, the most notable being the Gospel of Mary. Again, it was a male power issue. Mary was the disciple Jesus loved best of all. After the departure of Jesus, within the text, in Mary has been placed the authority of the church. That was unacceptable to the alpha-male dominated church. \n\nIt wasn't until 1920 that women even got the right to vote with AMENDMENT XIX to the Constitution. That gave them 150 years of male dominated government to overcome. It wasn't until the 1990s that the got the right to fight to defend their country.\n\nAfter being repressed for so many years, women need to rise up and fight. But keep in mind, issues are more important than party or sex, at least to most THINKING people.\n\nJust as an aside: There was a story on Good Morning America this morning about the first female Blue Angel pilot. They said they chose her based on her ability and not her sex. This bodes well...

Because when ever a bill is written supporting giving more power to a minority group or removing restrictions because of being a minority, almost always it is a liberal democrat behind the change.  Republicans are typically conservative, and the definition of conservative is to resist change.

Because the democrats have successfully pitched themselves as a party concerned about the poor.  I admit to being cynical, I think many democrat leaders prefer to keep the poor poor (by addicting them to welfare and making them think they can't survive without it because of racism or whatever) so they have a steady source of votes.  So they have no incentive to work on getting them off of welfare and in to the workforce. \n\nI'm a republican which is probably no surprise.

Because most Republicans are for less government involvement in your life and LOWER taxes.  Most, and not all, Democrats want to give everything to everyone and enjoy having a class of society dependent on them, such as welfare recipients.
