Which party defends and tries to conserve the constitution of the United States?

Republicans.  I'm laughing at the answer before me (first answer, there might be more by the time I post).  The democrats have constantly tried to make the constitution something it is not.  For example, "seperation of church and state."  Democrats actually have us all believing that this is in the constitution!  It is not!  The only thing the constitution forbids is a state church, where the President of the United States would be like the pope of the church.  In fact, if you read the all the commentary that the founding fathers left for us, Christianity was always meant to be a big part of the government.  Republicans are not trying to take rights away.  Homosexual acts used to be a crime.  Some day there will be a march for the rights of child molesters under the same arguments, "we can't help it, we were born this way...  love is never wrong, etc."  If republicans try and oppose that I suppose we will be "taking their rights away," too?  Somethings needed to change.  Slavery definately needed to be abolished.  The civil rights movements of the 60's needed to happen.  These were people that were not given equality based solely on skin color.  I would extend that to homosexuals and those that find children attractive to this point: you may not be able to control what or who you find attractive, but you CAN control your actions.  We also don't throw people in jail because they THINK about killing someone.  Homosexuality is not the same as race.  There is ACTION that takes place before it becomes wrong.  Laws can legislate action.  \n\nAs far as abortion rights, read the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade and read the ammendment that originally allowed slavery.  The wording is so similiar it will make you sick.  If there is any question about whether or not a fetus is a human life or not, shouldn't we say no to killing it?  \n\nIt is time to stop "interpreting" the constitution to please every sick-o with a "cause," and preserve the nation that our forefathers built by preserving the constitution.  That means actually reading the constitution, reading the letters, speaches and earliest judicial decisions, and not being afraid to do what they did, and look to the Bible as a rule of law.

The Bill of Rights is a part of the Constitution.

The Dems. They are willing to pay down the debt and keep the economy strong ala Bill Clinton. They care about your privacy. They care about your constitutional rights. The Republicans are all about spying,lying, transferring wealth from poor to rich. Stealing elections. They want to un-separate church and state. Force God down your throat. War seems to be their favorite passtime. So what if people get killed -the ends justify the means. They could care less about the environement if they had their way this world would be a polluted mess. Republicans want cheap labor and don't care if you lose your job to get it . As long as the profits go up.\nDemocrats care about a livable wage. Example: Sante Fe NM. raised the min. wage and guess what ...Business increased. Democrats will do a better job but we need a Progressive party to change this country. Some Dems are way to liberal and most Republicans are not Republicans in the traditional sense. They are Neo cons. and have little in common with their past values.

Are you kidding?\n\nRepublicans tend to be conservatives (though there are exceptions for sure)....\n\nIn general, conservatives want to "conserve" our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and strive to keep the government close to the principles upon which it was founded.\n\nBeing a Conservative...I'd like to remove the Commerce Clause though!!!!!

Nope. I don't like Kerry either. When did this flippin country become 2 party! Republicans and Democrats are both the same. Neither uphold the Constitution! Both are big spenders at our expense, yet they are MILLIONAIRES! And both of them are liars! Regular Americans who aren't political party jaded need to take this country back. Uphold the Constitution, and downsize Washington before we all get taken by a corporate buyout.

Now that the parties have, for all intents and purposes, polarized into the Democrats being liberal and the Republicans being conservative (just 20 years ago, it wasn't this way), the difference can be expressed simply.\n\nLiberals (i.e., Democrats) believe in a loose interpretation of the Constitution.  That is, they believe that a person or group can do anything the Constitution does not expressly forbid. (and, quite a few things it does!)\n\nConservatives (i.e. Republicans) believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution.  That is, they believe that a person or group cannot do anything the Constitution does not expressly allow.\n\nYou didn't ask about Libertarians, but their mention is merited.  Libertarians tend to be fiscal conservatives (small government, strong military, low/no taxes) but social liberals (allow legalization of marijuana, abortions, eliminate sodomy laws, etc.).

Republicans. He didn't take a party label, but his principles were clearly Federalist. He certainly believed in a strong defense. I don't think any of our founding fathers would support most of the Dem social positions such as gay marriage & abortion.

True patriots respect the U.S. Constitution.  GWB has defiled the constitution with his arrogant actions against the people of the U.S.  I pray that he will be brought to justice.

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

restore the constitution

Trying to figure out how this new "War on Terror" justifies suspension of our Constitution.  In 1812, with a foreign enemy burning down Washington D.C., NO PART of the Constitution was re-written or suspended.  Emergency provisions did not ever give the president the power to unilaterally enforce the law before.  This was in the face of our absolute destruction with an very real enemy on our soil.  Now we have a fantasy enemy over-seas that takes occaisional potshots at us, which we created through our own failed foreign policies, so we now need to give up every fundamental legal and expression freedom we have?  Do Americans just not have balls these days?  Why aren't the real conservatives trying to "conserve" our damned Constitution which has weathered EVERY CRISIS before this?  I just don't get it.\n\nIf you want to hunt me down, I'll be easy to find in the postage stamp sized "Free Speech Zone".  When I was a kid, everywhere was a Free Speech Zone...except maybe in church.

I would form apolitical party whose intentions would be to bring a Constitutional Convention to the US\n\nThis would give the people the chance to correct the problems faced in our country and reinstate our freedoms.\n\nA re-writing of the Constitution is the best way that the American people have of ending the corruption(we could do away with lobbyist and special interest groups), and returning balance to the political system. The idea that one man in any country has as much power as the President is absurd\n                     "Power corrupts"\n\nIn my opinion we should have at least three figure heads acting as joint leaders, not only to check the power of the others but also because there are so many different ideas and perspectives in our country that there is no way that one man can encompass the whole spectrum, the American leadership should represent all of America not just the winning side.\n\nI also believe that we should place stricter regulations on the formation of laws, and that laws should be made out of absolute nessecity, not on a whim or because someone with money wants one, i also think that there should be no "pork" in any bill proposed for legislature (pork is when a bill is presented...lets say for education reform...but someone adds another section into the bill requesting...lets say amnesty for criminals...), one bill one subject.\n \nBut most importantly i believe we should hold a Constitutional Convention because it would give every person the opportunity to weigh in on the issues and we as Americans could again make some great achievements.......aside from destroying countries, and blowing shit up.........\n\nVOTE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!!!\n\nPeace to all...now more than ever...
