It all depends, if you are looking for an answer which uses the classic historical republican ideals, or the neo-conservativism that G-Dub and his disciples are branding as the "republican ideals" of modern times. (modern times just being "since he took office") --- \n\nNormally smaller government, less government intrusion into private lives, less government spending, and a laissez-faire approach to defense and going to war. \n\nFunny, I can't think of one thing the current administration has done to even prove they ARE republican.\n\nAll the Democrats really n eed to do is run on platforms where they call themselves Democrats, but run on traditional republican ideals. Thing is, democrats, for the most part, wouldn't notice the irony, and republicans, for the most part, would still disagree because they call themselves democrats.\n\nYeah, politics blow.

The A,C.L.U. is really the old American Socialist Party. Being 76 years old I still remember them saying they'd take over this country with out fireing a shot.thier aim  is to  destroy out constitution.They want God out of everything. That has allways been thier aim. I't's what i call thier hidden  agenda . Theve just about taken over the Democratic Party.  I was a Democrat for most of my life but they no longer hold any of my values.

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.

What you want is what everyone in the U.S. wants.  I'm a democrat who works her butt off and feel that people on welfare for generations is just absolutely robbery.  I care about peoples rights in the U.S. because that is why the U.S. was started so they could practice freedom of religion without fear of persecution.  I want a government that makes decisions based on the good of everyone not just the good for their pockets.  The reason we label ourselves with a party is because we feel that one party or the other will attain those items more successfully than the other.  I think most people are right down the middle the problem with our government is there is no down the middle views everythings is either too far right or too far left leaving no compromising and finding solutions thta 1/2 of the country will not be happy with.  So you are on the U.S. Team that wants a more successful, honest, rational government.  As do I.  If i'm wrong then i'm sorry i couldn't answer your question.

GET THE MOST VOTES.\n\nBut seriously, there are different stategies for a primary vs a general. \nIn a primary, you are usually aiming towards the core voters in your party, who tend to be more extreme than the general electorate. You need to spell out the differences rather shaprly with your opponent, even though you may not differ all that much on key issues. A primary campaign is more of a "red meat" campaign, where you probably throw more punches toward your opponent.\n\nGeneral elections - You have to appeal to a broader group of people, and you have to be likable. People do not vote for someone they do not like (Aside from Nixon).\nYou still have to spell out differences with your opponent, but blunt your hard edges.\n\nThe key thing, sad to say, is MONEY. About 90 percent of the time, the candidate with more cash is the candidate who wins. More money equals more media, more staff, mor everything.\n\nWell, those are some basic ideas without knowing what office you're running for in which party.

AARP most significant purpose is allegedly and supposedly protecting the interests of its membership.  Inasmuch, AARP is a financially power entity and has the ability to sway political opinions thanks in part to their membership and collations with other political factions.\n\nWhile singularly, AARP may win some battles, generally speaking is usually is a joint effort with other lobbyist groups.

Are you kidding?\n\nRepublicans tend to be conservatives (though there are exceptions for sure)....\n\nIn general, conservatives want to "conserve" our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and strive to keep the government close to the principles upon which it was founded.\n\nBeing a Conservative...I'd like to remove the Commerce Clause though!!!!!

The primary purpose of the Constitution is to limit, or slow, the power of government to intrude upon the citizens as a whole. It is to protect the minority from the majority and visa versa as far as who is in office. The will of the majority of the people will always occur if it is consistent and holds true for a long time. The political representation will have to conform to the will of the people if they want to keep their jobs. \n\nThe process of proposing a bill, reviewing, debating, revising, going through two houses, and then the executive branch and then passing into law is suppose to be long.... but unfortunately politicians trample all over this by doing shot gun bills with more slips to it than line of dancing girls... but that's another story...

Great point.\n\nI don't know why people do not see what they are doing. Repiglicans are the kings of grandstanding. They just want to stay in power.

You're making invalid assumptions. The middle ground for both major parties are moderates, with very few going far afield.\n\nOne end of one spectrum is conservative republican. The other ends of that spectrum are moderate republican and federalist.\n\nOne of the a different spectrum is liberal democrat. The other ends of that spectrum are moderate democrat and libertarian.\n\nBasically, there are two scales of values. One is big government versus small government (Republican -- Libertarian). The other spectrum is group rights ("traditional" values) versus individual/personal rights (Federalist -- Democrats).\n\nRepublicans (nowadays) want  group rights (conformity with "traditional" values) and a large government to ensure domestic tranquility (by enforcing those conservative majority beliefs). Moderate republicans (originally called fiscal conservatives) want a small government, just large enough to provide for the common defense. The republican party does not really have a liberal wing, and usually treat the goal of individual liberties (being liberal) as a dirty word.\n\n\n\nDemocrats want individual rights and a large government to promote the general welfare.  Moderate democrats don't want a lot of wasteful spending., and want to achieve their goals without causing too many problems. Democrats do have a Conservative wing, which focuses on better ethical leadership and greater protection for both groups and individuals. The main difference is that conservative democrats still don't believe in enforcing their views on the minority, even if their own personal choices would be the same as what conservative republicans would make.\n\nLibertarians want a small government (no wasteful spending, and very little welfare/entitlements), but lots of protection for individual liberties. They are moderate about most issues, except for being adamant that the majority should not impose its beliefs on the minority.

1. Term limits to keep Congress fresh and not so self serving. House members run every 2 years and are almost always campaigning rather than concentrating on the country.\n2. The abolishment of PACS and other lobbying interests. Let the issues be decided on the merits, not how much money lines the pockets of the lawmakers.
