republican and democrat describes how one votes....or what party one alines themself with.\n\nliberal (like conservative) refers to a political ideology, or a philisophical approach towards running the government.

I will vote for the person who represents my views and values and idea of what America really stands for....For me that is usually a Democrat.  I wish there were more parties to choose from.  Another couple of people to vote for that actually had a chance to win.

No to both.\nLiberals are generally people who view individual liberties as paramount. They also tend to believe in the common good and are generally more open-minded and generous. The democratic party use to adhere to theses thoughts plus they were pro-worker. Liberals tend to run the gamut of political parties and are found in the democratic party more so than in the republican party. The democratic party is not completely made up of liberals. Since the Reagan years many democrats have adopted a neoliberal, pro-corporation "free trade" ideology (Clinton, Biden, Lieberman, etc..) and are anything but liberal. \nI hope this answers your question.

well there is not much differance/ Dems are for welfare for the poor and starving and the middleclass working man. Repulicans are for welfare for the RIch and not paying taxes even if they have to put all the dept on to there childrens back. \nIt used to be republicans were for fiscal responsibility they just want to elimate the bill of rights establish a state relgion and bring back slavery. I say this because that is what they say they want to do listen to them.

Although I am a liberal and a democrat, I want to help you to join the party of your choice, you have that right.\n\nBasically, you need to register to vote. At that time, you will be asked to state your party affiliation, which in your case happens to be Republican. Call your county registrar of voters. They will help you register and also help you get in contact with your local republican party representatives. \n\nGood luck and remember to pay attention to your local issues as well as national ones!\nA friend.

There really isn't a political affiliation calculated for Democrats and Republicans. You can have a Democrats that's conservative or a Republican that's liberal. It depends on the person's politics. These days though, Republicans are branded conservative and Democrats liberal. If you look at history, there are points of time when the affliation for Democrats and Republicans were reversed.

The two major political parties are the Democratic and the Republican Parties. Words like Liberal, Conservative, and Moderate refer to what a person wants his government to do, whether he wants a huge government or a smaller one. \n\nDemocrats can be Liberal, Moderate, or Conservative.  So can Republicans. During the past 25 years or so, most Democrats have been Liberals, and most Republicans have been Conservatives. \n\nLiberals generally want a government that does practically everything for the individual and the family. They are perfectly willing to enact higher taxes, and have an extremely large government, with lots of rules, lots of departments, and lots of employees, if that's what it takes.  \n\nConservatives believe individuals and families are strong, independent, and can fend for themselves without a lot of help from the government.  So they believe in a smaller government with limited powers and functions. They believe the government should do only those things that the individual and the family cannot do for itself.  Examples are national defense and building roads. \n\nYou have asked a great question.  I suggest you surf the internet to find more information.

Democrat... ex-Republican.\n\nI was raised Republican and switched to independent in my late 20s then around 34 switched to full democrat.\n\nI believe my party, the democrats, to be the party of the ppl. I've watched more CSPAN debates than imaginable and can truly state, it is the democratic party up in Washington fighting for that poor redneck white man in the South that is voting Republican based on his prejudices... sad that they don't get it.

In truth, there is not much difference. Democrats tend to be more liberal and Republicans more conservative, but there are exceptions on both parties. &#92;\n\nNow, do your own homework and write the rest!!!

Republican.  I do vote for the best candidate or issue based on their own merit.  I am not a "Party Line" guy.
