If you're a Democrat, what's the best thing you can say about Republicans?
450901
republicans tend to have personalities that focus on helping themselves and being self-sufficient. selfish? yeah. self-centered? maybe, but at least they like to be responsible for taking care of themselves

On social issues, Republicans are like introverts, they put themselves and their families above everyone else and don't think about how we have to work together as a society without it falling apart at some point... Democrats are like extroverts, caring about their own families, but also caring about other people, that might be why you always hear Republicans say things like "you feel too much for criminals" etc... There is probably some place in the middle that would work the best, you can't help everyone because not everyone wants to work, but you also can't force people to work for low wages like this administration does, just so some families can get richer... I might have voted for the old Ronald Reagan type of Republican, but this Nation has been way too far right for a lot of years... My opinion is that we need to let people see they can actually make something out of their lives if they work for it, and stop breaking apart our families, because the next thing to go is our nation... 8 million people in our prison justice system proves that we are out of time (it was 6.6 million about 5 years ago, I extrapolated)

Republican, of course.

There are quite a few to mention. Suffice it to say that the Democrats are more "liberal" in their views and the Republicans are more "conservative" in theirs.\n\nThis may seem a bit too simplified, but let's try it - and any political party experts may feel free to expand on or correct my ideas:\n\nDeath penalty:\nDemocrats: con\nRepublicans: pro\n\nAbortion:\nDemocrats: pro\nRepublicans: con\n\nGovernment size:\nDemocrats: large\nRepublicans: small\n\nDefense spending:\nDemocrats: less\nRepublicans: more\n\nEducation spending:\nDemocrats: more\nRepublicans: less\n\nLabor unions:\nDemocrats: pro\nRepublicans: con\n\nScrewing the public:\nDemocrats: YES\nRepublicans: YES\n(OK, that's just me being a cynic, but.....)\n\nFor another perspective, see the link below:

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

The republicans cater to the wishes of the wealthy. At the expense of the poor. Reverse Robin Hood.\n\nThe democrats cater to the middle class and the poor which is good, but they also include deadbeats who are too lazy to work, and  irresponsible people who have seven children and live off the government.\n\n\nRepublicans don't care if jobs go overeseas because their closest associates will make money.\n\nDemocrats don't care if your tax dollars go to wastefull programs so long as the money is spent in their district.\n\n\nRepublicans put restrictions on research that could cure diseases and injuries because it 'MIGHT"  be immoral.\n\nDemocrats encourage irresponsible sexual encounters by promoting abortion rather than behavior that is moral.\n\n\nIf you can't tell both parties disgust me, I voted independent or green party for every candidate. We need to shake up the whole system and start fresh.

be as mean as you can and call them as many names as possible, and then see if they get one. if you are trying to teach a democrat, or are one yourself, it may not work very well and may earn responses such as "LIAR!" "stupid!" or even "oil stock investor!" whereas if you or the other person is a republican, you will soon be hearing "well you have a big head and you hug trees, but you still eat their fruit!"

Democrat.  I believe in their values more than the republicans.  Also, republicans just whine about everything.  Also, Bush is the dumbest person on the face of the universe.  You could fit his library in a little corner.

Yup.  For some reason I can tune the republicans out, for the most part.  But, the democrats seem to be much more abrasive and annoying.

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....

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.

Democrat or Republican, what is the difference? None really. \n\nAs for a Democrat winning. As badly out of touch with the people as the Republicans are the Democrats are even worse. They will try to run somebody so abomible like Hitlerly Clinton that the public will puke in response. Think about it, against Bush the first they they ran Gore who could not even bother to remove the price tag from his ear. The same guy who's wife attempted to get Rap and Metal music banned in the US. Entire forms of music banned! Gore led a group that passed a law which could have gotten you a prison term if you said a cuss word on the internet. Gore is the biggest proponent of censorship we have EVER had. He makes McCarthy look like a timid easy going fellow when it comes to attacking the rights of people. Not only did they attack freedom of speech the Clinton/Gore administration wrote the laws which made the Patriot act possible. \n\nThen you have Kerry who could not make up his mind on anything. Who would want such a wishy washy do nothing leading the nation? \n\nCompared to these clutzs the Republicans could run Mickey Mouse and win. Bush barely bothered to campaign either election and still won. Not quite sure where all those campaign contributions went but I doubt even half of that went to campaign activities. As represive as the Patriot act is it is nothing new. Clinton's administration not only passed laws that were only milder versions, they were openly caught using the IRS and FBI to go after personal enemies. The blatent misuse of power while dusted over by the press stuck in quite a few people's craws. How would YOU feel if you had the IRS and FBI breathing down your neck because 10 years ago you offended a nobody politicion?  \n\nSo as fed up with Bush as so many are unless the Democrats learn quite a bit in a short time they will sabatage themselves again in the next election. Ineptitude and Democrat are fast becoming synomyns. \n\nI suggest looking into independent cantidates. People who might actually believe in half of what they say. Who might make it through a term without trampling all over the Constitution and abusing the office.

The Redsters are far superior in selling a ticket.\n\nThe democrats only have one unifying element. They are not nor ever will they be Republican.\n\nGo big Red Go

Democrats are people who like to help all people, especially the working class and poor.  Republicans like to cater to big business and extremely wealthy people and drop programs to help the needy.

Not at all. \n\nAnyone with any sense knows that Republicans are not "evil." They don't hate the poor and are not racists.  Republicans believe that people should try to better themselves through education and hard work.  Seems like all Democrats want is to keep the the down-trodden down.

Republicans tend to take a simplistic view of things. Lower taxes for the wealthy and those who donated to their campaigns, spend heaps (but fudge the numbers so everything balances), act recklessly and in a belligerent manner- and generally act in the most dis honourable and un ethical way possible. Coated in a nice neat shell of "family values" and *cough, cough* religious fevor.\n\nDemocrats tend to raise taxes but try not to hurt the poorer areas of the populous. Their holy grail is free health care for all, which has been somehow impossible owing to the Republicans charges that it will cost too much.\n\nWe Democrats tend to focus on repairing the damage the previous Republican administration has done, whilst trying to make things on the domestic front better. Often leading to the charge that we don't care about defence, which is ridiculous when you consider President Clintons actions in Bosnia.\n\nOkay, so our Presidents get caught in the odd sex scandal- but a bit of hanky panky is all par for the course. I guarantee you all Presidents have had a bit on the side- its just many haven't been caught.\n\nThe Republicans don't listen to public opinion, are arrogant, pig headed and generally pander to the more racist, extreme elements in American society. I.e. Where the majority of votes are.\n\nThe Democrats want to make the world and America better in every way, they are more economically and environmentally minded- and they'd rather negotiate than enter a mindless war. (Vietnam aside.)\n\nThe Iceman.

It is as ridiculous to say that all democrats are "ungodly and cowardly" as it is to say that all republicans are "racists and whatnot"! All I can say is that you sound like a very ignorant person.
