Which way do you swing? Republican or Democrat?

Republican usually, the Democrats have never in my voting life time had anybody worth voting for in an election.  There might be a local democratic candidate from time to time I will vote for if it makes sense.  Not all Republicans are good and not all Democrats are bad it just depends on what needs to get done at the local level.  Nationally though I seem to like the Republican's agendas better. \n\nOh and by the way the Democrat is not the working mans politician.  They are full of **** to get your votes.  Joe Kennedy taught his kids to speak with a Boston accent in order to get the working man's votes.  And things like unions actually hurt our economy not help.  Once again votes not solutions.  Many working class people, especially self-employed, get great tax benefits from Republicans, just not $35/hr. \n\nI guess we could bring back Clinton and have creative accounting, false stock reports, etc... that really worked.  What happened right after he left; 9/11, recession, market unstability, high unemployment rate, etc...  Who cares though he got to go on Oprah.  Awesome.

I realize facts aren't what you're looking for, but here ya go...according to "Party Politics in America" (M. Hershey, P. Beck; Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers, 2003), "People with lower incomes and less education are more likely to call themselves Democrats than Republicans." (p. 129)

You can't tell that just from these elections.  It depends on who is running and what their policies are.  I personally, don't care what someone is, democrat, or republic....I vote for who I agree with the most.  If that happens to be a democrat, then I vote democrat....if it happens to be a republican, then I vote republican....

I voted for a mix of democrats and republicans. I vote for the person and not the party, however, being in the military I tend to lean to the republican side.

Actually you sound more like a Liberal Democrat than either of what you were going for.\nI would need more info on your outlooks(?) on various topics before cementing a label on you though, but you seem to be very leftist. You've included nothing in your question that I think of when somebody says conservative or republican.

republicans crossed the line a long time ago.  They are so far over the line that they can't see it behind them with a telescope.\n\n\nthe difference between republican and Democratic dirty tricks is that when Democrats do it, it is one or two misguided individuals.  republicans do it on directives from the party.

It's normal if you are a Republican

No! The last generation of democrats were a lot closer to the center, whereas republicans truly were the rich upper crust.  That has all changed.  The John Kennedy democrat would be a republican today, except for Teddy, of coarse. Back then, the democratic party had morality, ideals and an honest message.  Today it is a play on words.  A game to catch the opposition failing to dot an I or cross a T.  They seem to wait in the wings, watching for the opposition to make a mistake so they can pounce on the situation in hopes of gaining support.  They react instead of act!  Today, my parents would have changed ideology, they could not align themselves with the likes of Clinton, Pelosi, Kennedy, Durbin, Gore or Kerry.

Neither.\n\nSome will say Republican but all this does is show me how much Republicans have controlled it all the while it was going up.

There really isn't a political affiliation calculated for Democrats and Republicans. You can have a Democrats that's conservative or a Republican that's liberal. It depends on the person's politics. These days though, Republicans are branded conservative and Democrats liberal. If you look at history, there are points of time when the affliation for Democrats and Republicans were reversed.

Democrat = Left leaning\nCommunist = Left leaning\nSocialist = Left leaning\n\nIt becomes clear that while all three would like to sky rocket taxation, they themselves would like to remain exempt.  Detestable

The way I was explained that is that Democrats believe in welfare and other government aid but are usually more open-minded to towards social issues (like gay marriages). Republicans are more about people working hard for themselves without government aid (Capitalism, laissez faire, basically allowing companies to do what they want) but are less open to social issues.
