Who do you think the U.S. Secret Service likes more? Democrats or Republicans? Why do you think?

Their duty is to protect, not have an opinion.

Probably libertarian.  The republicans are spineless.  I've been disapppointed by them for the last time.

I'm not sure if it is gay people that you do not like or democrats???? Gay people are just people like you or me. Democrats currently have some pretty good ideas. I voted for quite a few this election. Not because of their party affiliation but based on each individuals agenda. Conservatives are generally against gay marriage, rights etc. That does not always mean that they are republicans. Peace.

Wonderful!  I agree 100%!!!!  It's scary to think that a moderate Republican wont be elected in the red states and a liberal democrat will...well, just not be elected...  But, I think John McCain is a great Senator, and I think that Governor Pataki of NY is a great moderate Republican, who like us, is fiscally conservative and socially more moderate than most!!  Rudy G. is good too, but I don't really know what his aspirations are or the reason for them.

Democrat... ex-Republican.\n\nI was raised Republican and switched to independent in my late 20s then around 34 switched to full democrat.\n\nI believe my party, the democrats, to be the party of the ppl. I've watched more CSPAN debates than imaginable and can truly state, it is the democratic party up in Washington fighting for that poor redneck white man in the South that is voting Republican based on his prejudices... sad that they don't get it.

Sure the democrats are smarter than the republicans, but I would like to suggest anyone be an independent thinker instead of a party member. Each party has its pros and cons.

My vote is for Independents......Both the Democrats and Republicans can kiss me where the sun doesn't shine.

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.

If I have to explain the difference between a democrat and a socialist to you then you are indeed in need of more help than i can provide you perhaps you should have studied while you were in school. but I will tell you this democrats believe in civil liberties that our founding fathers fought and died for Unlike your dictatorship government currently in charge that you would refer to as Republican. We believe that if a government wants to spy on its citizens it should present probable cause and persue a warrent... not will nilly spy on every law abideing citizen of the U.S.

Republicans believe that poor people have too much money, and rich people do not have enough.  So they support cutting taxes, as well as cutting benefits for poor people.  \n\nDemocrats believe the opposite.  So they support raising taxes, and raising benefits for poor people.

I am a Democrat. And I am hoping that Rudy Giuliani, the GOP ex-mayor of NYC, will run for President. I think Colin Powell is the greatest American living today. I think Reagan did a great job of restoring the USA to respect and dignity after Watergate and Iran. I think John McCain is one of the smartest men I've ever heard speak. \n\nYou will notice, though, that none of these people were part of the soon-to-be-ex leadership in Washington.

Both do. If you do not follow the party line you get no help for something you want for your home people. The Dem's follow the Dem leadership & the repubs follow theirs. We have no independent people in washington any more. I am old enough to remember Barry Goldwater. He use to say. " I dont care who came up with the idea, If it is good I will vote for it And to hell with the party" I wish we had more people like him now but both parties would make sure you never heard from them.

Republicans typically believe in smaller government with more control allotted to the states. They believe in promoting business and lower taxes. They favor less government spending (although you wouldn't know it given the current crop). They believe in self reliance and do not support large social programs.\n\nDemocrats favor more centralized control in the form of a larger federal government with less power to the states. They traditionally sponsor more social programs and do not believe in lower taxes. \n\nThese are generalized positions and do not properly reflect the parties, but are rather intended as an overview. If you want real information I suggest visiting their party websites and reviewing their platforms.\n\nRNC http://www.gop.com\nDNC http://democrats.org

The Democratic Party, because they represent the middle class and the poor and not the rich. They also dissapprove of the war in Iraq, which is also a big plus. They also support stem cell research, the list could go on and on.

That's precisely who I would WANT the Democrats to put on their ticket!  ; )\n\nBring 'em on!  I think we can take 'em!\n\nEDIT - I am a REPUBLICAN and would WANT to go against those two - VERY beatable!

No one party "controls" the U.S. Senate. There are more Republicans sitting in the U.S. Senate right now than Democrats. But each of those Republicans are free agents and capable of voting against the wishes of their party leaders. Also, just because there are fewer Democrats in the Senate right now than Republicans, that doesn't mean that they have no influence over what the Senate produces.
