I love the "unbiased" answers here.  It's a veritable no-spin-zone.\n\nCurrently or historically?  The answers differ considerably.  Historically, Republicans have supported State's rights, low regulations on economic ventures, a strong military, and conservative social initiatives.  \n\nDemocrats have traditionally supported consolidation of political power on the federal level, economic regulation, international diplomacy, and liberal social initiatives.\n\nCurrently, the differences can be determined by looking at their official public agendas.\n\nGOP:\nWinning the war on terror\nUshering in an ownership era\nBuilding an innovative, globally competitive economy\nStrengthening communities\nProtecting families\n\nDemocratic party:\nImproving national security\nImproving international diplomacy\nModernizing the military\nStrengthening the economy \nImproving public education\nProtecting social security\nProviding affordable health care\nEnsuring honesty in government\nReforming the election process\nProtecting the environment\nEnsuring justice and civil liberties\n\nOf course, a brief look at the front page of each party website indicates that thier PRIMARY concerns are in making one another look bad.

The Civil War, the Cold War, and some nifty little operations like when Grenada was taken.  American students were there and would likely have been killed.  The public didn't even hear about it until the U.S. military had taken control of the island and rescued  the students.  Reagan took care of that with executive authority.\n\nThe Demonrats of old were not pacifists.  The party is not the same as it was then.  So your statement about the past is not relevant to the parties of today.\n\nClinton never solved anything after terrorist acts or dealt with the Middle East problems the whole 8 yrs he was in the Oval Office.  Oh... wait... .he was too busy.\n\nAt least Bush is trying to deal with the situation in Iraq.... and given enough time has a chance to resolve it.  That is.... if peace can ever be brought to the Middle East.  If not.... no Demonrat could do any better.  They are quick to criticize, but offer no plans of their own.  Their "plan" but be to just pretend it isn't there and it will go away.\n\nSue

Well said. Republicans had their chance and blew it. Greed and political expediency overcame good government. Now they lost credibility with not only the entire world, but with voters as well.  Funny and scary thing is that they still dont understand that what they were doing was wrong.

Yes, we should follow the Republican lead and solve all of our international crisis through careful observation of cartoons.  You are very astute, you should run for the Senate.

reduce fossil fuel emmissions --\n\nelect a democratic congress, senate, and president becasue the Republicans have NO envoronmental platforms and do not care about global warming\n\nGet a Democratic President who will honestly work with the 100+ other nations who signed the Kyoto Pack and care about global warmings.

The Democratic approach to foreign policy it that militaristic force is always the last resort and that diplomacy should be utilized more often then is currently shown. The GOP (grand old party, republicans) outwardly do not help the middle and lower class, however through lobbyists and tax cuts for the upper class (earning class of More than $200,000 a year) the GOP consistently helps the rich.

The Democrats, prior to Reagan and all the monsters he spawned, were always the party of National Defense.  That is, when conflict is unavoidable.  Democrats are reasonable.  We don't shoot off our mouths like street punks and invade other countries in wars of aggression or thinly disguised coups for more oil.  What the Republicans have done in the past 6 years, has set this nation back 20 years, but after we clean up their mess, yes, we'll be a lot safer.

Good Luck!  Just get on the Republican party's web site.  Surely, they will have some propaganda and more lies to say about G.W.  Or just tune into Fox News.  The only improvement I have seen in the last 6 months is the number of people with IMPEACH BUSH decals on their car.

We have accomplished higher and higher levels of peace, from family to tribe, from tribe to city state, from city state to nation and federation.\nNow we are learning how to reach world peace. Lessons have been learned through the Holy Books; means are ready with wonderful systems of world transportation and communication, world fora and world Conventions...; the final step is just a little more of patient practice.

They don't...the media, the democrats and the celebraties all do because they can't keep there mouths shut overseas while they play up to their audiences...\n\nThe Dems support the same agenda that the terrorists do...and it is all about hating america...why do you think they want the UN to control US actions?  Not becasue they love it....nope, no sir...\n\nThanks the Republicans who love america and then thank your troops...the vote Liberterian and get all those politicians that voted for the war out.....    :)

Honestly, I don't know that peace can be found... so much has happened.\n\nI will use myself as an example.\n\nI am a lesbian. For most of my life, I have been a Republican. In the 90s, I moved to independent and voted for Perot in 92 and again in 96. \n\nNow, I am a full-blown democrat vowing to vote Democrat the rest of my life. Why? Because I feel like the Republican party has declared war on me, on my way of life, on my rights as a tax-paying citizen. \n\nFor those that don't know, gay ppl didn't bring up the gay marriage issue in the 90s. That was a Karl Rove move while they were attempting to motivate their base because Clinton kept winning. In simple terms, they were pulling out all stops.\n\nI'm saying, I was willing up to that point, to put my personal private beliefs aside then I was declared war on.. so I am now fighting back. \n\nI am sure I am not alone. There are other groups that feel the same way... why do you think African Americans tend to vote democratic mostly. It is not a conspiracy. They feel the Republican party has declared war on them also.

Good Question !\nNot ALL republicans do however. Sweeping generalizations will not help us unit our country.\n\nTo be totally fair - every past president has something to do with our current state of affairs.\nThat being said, most of the past presidents were GOP : Reagan - Bush - My favorite Liberal - bush jr.

Increase our efforts in the war against Islamic Jihadist. Get tougher on those countries (Iran and Syria) supporting and fomenting terrorism as a way to spread  Islam to the world\nSeal the boarders by extending the fence and electronic monitoring. Prosecute companies that hire illegal aliens. Return to their native lands all illegals that are caught.\nMake permanent the tax cuts.... Better, disband the currant tax system and replace it with the Fair Tax (national sales tax)

The Republicans lost because they became complacent. Sure they lowered taxes, saved the economy from a major recession, and took the battle to the terrorist those are all facts. What they didn’t do was keep the American people aware enough to buy into their plans going forward. Republicans did a bad job of communicating and leading the American people\n\nWhen people questioned the war in Iraq and they did not respond to their questions with facts, figures and examples of how things were going well. Instead they accused the people of being traitors and not supporting the troops. Instead of making an honest effort to communicate they said, “We’re doing a great job… now shut up.” That’s why Rumsfeld was the first to go after the election. It took a slap in the face to get their attention.\n\nThe Republicans let a pedophile run loose in the House and didn’t do anything. They should have exposed Foley immediately if not sooner after discovering his emails to House Pages. The Republicans lost the moral high ground on this and it might have been the single most important issue to bring down the Republicans in this election. It demonstrated how low they would stoop in order to stay in power. It was a great tragedy for those of us Republicans that find this type of behavior inexcusable. \n\nThe Democrats won and they don’t have a meaningful plan for anything. But people would rather hear “we can change things” than “shut up stupid.”\n\nI think we Republicans need to regroup and clean out the closet. Rumsfeld is a good start. Republicans need plans for social security, medical care for the middle class, the redistribution of wealth in Corporate America and a plan to address the illegal alien problem. Bush introduced plans for most of these and they were rejected by the Republicans. It makes me sick. We deserved to lose this election. We need to recapture the moral high ground and get our act together if we don’t want a Democratic President and House in 2008. It might be too late already...

I am a die hard republican and I will say, you are absolutely right.\n\nI should add though that Europe, Russia, China's indifference to Iran is troubling.  Avoiding war is not the highest ground, but instead the choice of a practical war.
