I don’t have a political party at the moment, but I tend to vote for Democrats over Republicans, with sometimes a third party candidate in the mix. There are ideas from both the Republicans and the Democrats that I support. Personally I think the hypocrisy (relating to family values and morals) from Republicans is horrible, and much worse than anything Democrats have done.
I would say that I agree with the first post on this page the most. Democrats have allowed Republicans to essentially have their way to a far degree. The word liberal has become so demonized and misrepresented that even many liberal candidates try to avoid the label themselves. What frightens me the most is how many people are more obsessed with being seen as having some type of conservative appeal vs what is best for the country as a whole.
I can say at least one thing, I know where liberals stand, unlike most self-identifying conservatives. Democrats are at least honest about their beliefs and ideas. Republicans on the other hand spout on about morals, but then support some of the most immoral policies that I’ve ever seen. Republicans spout on about ‘less government’, but yet usually increase it. Republicans go on about less spending, but yet spend more while trying in vain to cut programs that help the less fortunate. Perhaps the new Republican motto should be we hate more government, unless we’re in it.
