Everyone is a human, so then not everyone belonging to one classification has manners.  Politics do not depend on someone's manners, but how situations are handled.  But you hear more trash-talking from the Democrats, who only have bad things to say about Republicans. It's democrats who support abortion, its democrats that would do ANYTHING to get their way.

Republicans can only handle one belief about every topic, and usually they don't even use their own brain.  Someone tells Republicans what to believe and they all say "YES SIR".  This is retarded, and it is not freedom.

Seriously, that is one thing I noticed a long time ago about Republicans and part of what made me switch parties to democrat. \n\nThere seems to be this mentality in the Republican party to constantly blame ANYTHING or ANYBODY else you can for whatever downfall you see in the country at that moment.\n\nThat could be gays demoralizing our nation to those darn anti-patriot treasonist liberals. LOL

And they would say the same about people who vote for democrats. A frivolous question.

Because Democrats believe in giving more power to the common people, and Republicans believe in giving more power to the Government and it's individual Authorities, regardless of it's policies that are not proliferating to the people that it serves.

The problem is the powerful 2 party system. Democrats and Republicans muscle out "independents" and leave us with a choice between 2 entire sets of beliefs.  We're forced to pick a party that fits us even if we disagree with much of the platform.  If we could level the playing field and encourage competition, the power would shift from the major parties to the people.

Idealogically, the Democratic Party of today is meant to put the people before profits. However, the name of this party has changed. For example, Republicans will brag that Lincoln was Republican, but what was Republican then is now the Democratic party. And I must disagree that Democrats go against anthing that Republicans try to do, it is just that the Democrats care more about the people of the United States than oil and money unlike our Republican leaders.

Democrats are people who like to help all people, especially the working class and poor.  Republicans like to cater to big business and extremely wealthy people and drop programs to help the needy.

the rules are different because democrats are different than republicans, didnt you know?\na democrat can stand on his head and tell the rest of the world is upside down, and everyone else will believe it.  if a republican does the same, he gets sued for teling everybody else what he thinks should be right.\nwhen a democrat accuses a republican of voter fraud, being unfair to somebody or a group of people, cheaing on something, or anything of that nature, its really what the democrats are doing.  when a republican does the same thing, the democrats say its slander and hate speech.\ndemocrats are allowed to be different because they know better than everybody else, and republicans are just a bunch of sticks in the mud from states where there is no common sense.\nlast but not least, dont forget, 5000 years of human evolution doesnt mean anything now that the democrats are in power, or will be, next year.

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.

Democrats are all talk. They tend to have a very "not in my backyard" attitude about almost everything they publicly support. I agree that they are like "a boat without a rudder." I wish that wasn't the case. Our system works with two strong parties, and right now we don't have two strong parties. They need to get their act together and present someone with convictions that are truly for the good of the nation and that aren't based on popularity polls. Sadly, as of now, I just don't see it.

The democrats views should not be criticized. The common problem with politics today is that instead of giving helping and constructive criticism, we just say mean things to each other. Dreadful.

Because it is easier to label someone into a stereotype then actually have a meaningful discussion. This happens all the way from the US senate to ideological internet forums. \n\nReally both parties are much of the same varying on a relatively few number of issues. \n\nWhat is really alarming is those in the party cannot see this.

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.

On social issues, Republicans are like introverts, they put themselves and their families above everyone else and don't think about how we have to work together as a society without it falling apart at some point... Democrats are like extroverts, caring about their own families, but also caring about other people, that might be why you always hear Republicans say things like "you feel too much for criminals" etc... There is probably some place in the middle that would work the best, you can't help everyone because not everyone wants to work, but you also can't force people to work for low wages like this administration does, just so some families can get richer... I might have voted for the old Ronald Reagan type of Republican, but this Nation has been way too far right for a lot of years... My opinion is that we need to let people see they can actually make something out of their lives if they work for it, and stop breaking apart our families, because the next thing to go is our nation... 8 million people in our prison justice system proves that we are out of time (it was 6.6 million about 5 years ago, I extrapolated)
