Republicans and Democrats are just two sides of the same coin.  Republicans are pro gun anti abortion.  Democrats are anti gun, pro abortion.  Other than that it's all talk and smoke and infighting, they both serve their corporate masters.  When it comes to screwing over the working class and slowly taking away our freedoms it is bipartisan.

Of course its a Republican war.  Republicans just don't want to be accountable to their own disastorous policies.  \n\nIt was Bush's decision to go against the UN and "go it alone".  And while Democrats supported the resolution to go into Iraq....and had to in order to support Afghanistan which was tied into the war bill by Republicans....and find the WMDs and get Suddam, they never supported this long, drawn out occupation strategy that Bush inserted after-the-fact.

Nothing, the Republicans can't get together on this issue. They are the majority in both sides of Congress, and I say they are stalling because of the election in November.

They vote with their conscience, Democrats and republicans are why we are in trouble here in america.  Vote Green.  Protect our environment today, so we have somewhere to hunt tomorrow, spare innocent lives by bringing our troops back,  invest in energy saving solutions,  and bring our president to justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity along with Saddam Hussein.

Do you think they care? Republicans are greedy, self-righteous, arrogant bastards who only care about their rich, corporate buddies, their superior morality, and money!  They believe the rich are important and the rest of us should just obey their every demand, because they know what is best. Hope for a Democratic victory this election in both houses of Congress, so we restore common-sense and concern for the average Joe.

Republicans like to spend money for roads, justice, military, and legal issues.   Their moto is to keep government out of Americans lives.  When money is spent on any of these, we the people see our lives get better. (Watch the history channel. . .military marvels).  Republicans want the private corporations to spend corporation money on Democratic issues (social, enviromental, and human rights).  This is why Pres. W. Bush is using his father and former Pres. Clinton to raise money for the tragic event in 2005.  \n\nDemocrates like to spend money for social issues, enviroment issues, and human rights issues.  Again these are noble and worthy causes that come back to benefit the American public.  They also need to spend money meeting the basic principals of Republician spending (Road, Justice, Military, and Law).  Thus, Democrates often overspend.

Because New Orleans is an issue Republicans can not spin enough to make themselves look better than the Dem's. They can with immigration, that's what all the fuss is about. The elections are coming up.. Neither problem will really be fixed..

The republicans hold the majority in the Senate. The democrats are trying to get an investigation going but they are blocked by the majority. There are only a couple of republicans brave enough to go against their President.

Republicans believe that everyone has an equal chance to succeed, so they are against Affirmative Action and the like, because, unlike Democrats, they feel that minorities have every chance to do well.  Republicans believe in Equality.  Republicans believe in lower taxes and free trade\n\nDemocrats are more socialist.  They believe in the distribution of wealth.  They believe in the expansion of a welfare state.  They oppose a strong military and national defense.  They are for raising taxes and more government programs

Republicans tend to be overbearing and assertive, and totally egocentric.\nAll they seem to care about, is themselves. Not others worse off than they are, or the environment, or medical care for all. \nIt's just about me, me, me.\nThey are all for small government, until it's something they want and need. But if that same government wishes to do something for the less fortunate amongst us, the get all bent out of shape.\nThey start the wars, but how many of their sons and daughters, actually serve.\nThey sure can dish it out, but can't take it. It's just pure arrogance.

Because most Republican congressman are asking him to NOT try and help them.  They are distancing themselves from his failed policies and irrevocable mistakes.  Bush is so desperate for someone to support in a race that he's coming to freaking nebraska to stump for the Rep. candidate.

The Democrats want the Poor to remain Poor.\n\nThe Republicans want everyone to have a chance to get ahead regardless of what class you belong to.

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

Okay... let me just correct your association mix up.  The Christian fundamentalists with their aggressive agendas are overwhelmingly republican. It does NOT hold true that republicans are all Christian fundamentalists interested in pushing agendas on anyone. Case and point, McCain. \n\nAre the christian fundies pushing their agendas on the people of the US?  Of course they are. They always have and they always will. That's what they do. Republicans are more interested in kickstarting the economy by making some of the people richer.  And fortunately, some of them are smart enough to back off of the wedge issues.

The mission of the Constitution Party is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.The conservative Constitution Party, which calls the Republican Party too liberal, has fielded a record 20 state legislative candidates for this fall's election, a turnout that some Republicans worried could hurt their own party.you have to go back at least half a century to find a third party candidate that won a state legislative race.The more I think about it, the more this looks like fertile ground for a third party to emerge.  Who will it hurt more?  The Republicans, or the Democrats?  I'm not sure.  Perhaps it will shake things up in general.
