A Democrat.  With Bush's ratings falling so low the Republican Party is going to take a beating in the next presidential election.

Democrats believe that  we need big government to solve problems. Republicans believe people can solve problems if government will leave them alone and stop taxing them so much. Dem's are likely to believe unions are a good thing, Republicans are likely to believe that small businessmen are the backbone of our nation. Dem's want someone to take care of them. Rep want the chance to do for themselves. I hope this answer will help you to see the difference.

I vote for the lesser of two evils. It is such a shame that every serios issue in this country and the world is overshawdowed by "Democrat vs Republican".\n\nWHO CARES WHAT POLITCAL PARTY YOU ARE! Vote for the right choice. There's alot more views in this country than just two of them. This country wasn't even founded by a "Democrat" or "Republican"

a republican is the elephant and the democrat is the donkey. I alway remember it this way: an elephant(to me) is considered a luxury animal:doesn't do a lot of work, just eats and gets fat. A donkey, on the other hand, is a hard-worker, gets little respect and earns his keep. A republican sterotypically is rich,is interested in big businesses, while a democrat is underpaid, and ready to make change for the better(can you tell which party I'm supporting this election?)

I am a registered democrat not a socialist. I am in favor of a balanced budget and less interference into our personal lives. I also favor states rights. In Oregon we passed (voter referendum) legalized assisted suicide and medical marijuana. Both are under attack by a republican led government. These used to be republican and conservative causes. They are not any  more. This is why I vote democratic. I used to vote republican. If I thought the libertarian party had a chance I would be a libertarian. The democratic party is the lesser of the two evils. I don't care about saving stem cells, abortion or the evils of gay marriage. I do care about health care, education, and a strong economy that provides jobs with living wages. If the republican party can offer this and stay out of our bedrooms, I'll vote republican.

Republican, the democrats have a tendency of placing polarizing figures up for the position.  If you run a poll on Powell, Rice, Gonzales vrs say Sharpton, Jackson, Obama I would say the republican side would win.  I could be wrong on Obama though, don't really know much on him.  But overall, the minorities that the reps put out on a whole have more cross over appeal than what the dems have.

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.

There are two meanings here.  One democratic means we vote to decide policy the other is the "democratic party" which has a certain set of values it expouses that are different from that of the other dominant political party the "republican party".

I almost always vote for one party over the other but just so I wont be a zombie I refuse to vote straight ticket.  \n\nI used to know a very old man who was illiterate and he would go into the voting booth and look for the donkey at the top of the ticket and punch straight party.  He would say, "The donkey means Democrat.  And Roosevelt was a Democrat...and that makes me a Democrat"  \n\nRepublican or Democrat don't give up your individuality for the party.

Republican.  Democrats have no agenda or ideas except to criticize.  They call that a strategy?
