dontlookatme-

your numbers are correct however one failing with numbers that you did
not mention however is the national employment rates for each... our
current levels as a country (and feel free to google that too) is
sitting at 96.4% employeement rate.

as far as the question posted dem dem rep rep...

I was speaking to someone about this just the other night and no matter
what each party represents time always has away of changing the parties
platforms that they stand on....
unfortunately when the party goes away from the platform that you used
to like and agree with people have a hard time switching to the party
that best suits them....
kinda like when you were younger (and just for exampple purposes) you
wore levi jeans- they were always comfortable to you, but something
happened, year after year the cut changed but you were already loyal to
those damned levi's and you keep buying them, year after year after
year, sooner or later your going to realize that buying levi's isnt
really what your wanting anymore and you will look for something that
best suits your comfort level. weird analogy but it works for me and the
person i was trying to explain this to.

ok, so dem beliefs and rep beliefs...

believe it or not they are so freaking close on a lot of issues and so
far apart on others.

i can tell you my beliefs as a republican, and someone on here can say
theyre a democrat but believe exactly the same way i feel.

for example- i believe in a womans right to choose- however i do not
believe in late term abortions where the child could actually live if it
was 'pulled out' of the mother (and im talking about the abortions that
are done in the 7th month, i think that is taking it a little to far.
now some republicans as well as dems might not agree with abortion at
all, the over all concensus is however is that a womans right to choose
is a dem belief- well im here to say that it is not the case.

another widely he;d belilef is that only dems care about same sex
marriages, again not true, myself as a republican do not care who you
are or who you love, it is not my business and it doesnt effect me in
the least, i say let the gay people of the world marry/unite whatever
you want to call it, just dont expect me to become a homosexual because
you think it is the correct way for me to live my life, dont ask for
anymore special rights than what i have. and the law when it is written
should conside them equal to a traditional marriage.

womens rights another supposedly democrat corner stone, yet i believe
that woman should have equal rights and i also think that they have
started to exercise those rights in a louder voice than ever before, are
things 'equal' all over the place, no, it has not happened for several
different reasons, but suffice it to say that those who do exert
themselves do better than their male counterparts.

minority rights- i believe that when our forefathers wrote the
constitution that they knew what they were doing, all men are created
equal and as such should be treated that way. there are many reasons in
america today why there is a racial devide, this devide can not be laid
at the feet of the white man soley. everybody needs to get over
themselves, quit blaming others for your short comings and realise why
things are the way things are. you can talk about and find ways to
resolve innercity conflicts that most claim are the reasoning behid the
poor school systems there and you can do the same to resolve education,
it shouldnt take an act of congress to be able to fix or handle whats
going on there unfortunately like i said everyone want to play the blame
game and do nothing but talking.

there are a host of other issues that the parties do not see eye to eye
on too.
health care, the environment, energy, education, crime, foriegn policy,
homeland security, gun control, immigration, and welfare pretty much
round it out.

healthcare- republicans think that if you treat health care as a
business then you promote better health care- in that people will go to
the best person for the job mentality. dems for the most part believe
that health care should be universal giving everybody coverage. both
have good points and the dem ideaology or want is a very commendable
thing however they fail to realize (in my opinion) that a) anybody who
is injured can receive emergency medical care, b) that by making all
healthcare professional appear to be equal and get equal compensation
that you are underminding growth in that profession, which as it stands
now if very competitive. now healthcare is also a very complex problm in
that there comes with it the need for long term care, and of course
presciption drugs that are so overly priced you need to be wealthy just
to stay healthy, but is it healthcares place to regulate what a
pharmasutical company charges for drugs- no, the company is going to try
to make as much as they can it is in business to do that, maybe we need
to be looking at bringing down the cost by some form of 'salary cap' for
the lack of a better term on these companies- there though too you run
into the problem with putting at risk a companies desire to research and
develop new drugs because the competition is no longer there.

homeland security, crime, gun control, and immigration can all kinda be
roled into one thing. the reforms that have went into effect after 9/11
have been proven to be effective but are a long way from being complete-
airports have done a wonderful job even if it is more of an
inconvienence do go thru them now, but other things need improving,
shipping , and rail being a couple of those, nobody on either side has
really done much in the way of informing the public what if anything
they want to do. brings in immigration and border control, some believe
that we are cracking down some believe not enough, th=ruth of the matter
is there are still thousands pooring into this country every year and
something needs to be done to fix that problem, which is where dems and
reps depart ways, reps see this as a huge problem, dems thinks its a
minor one. crime and gun control- dems say that you cant fight crime
without taking away everybodies guns (of course im over simplifying)
reps think hat you have a better chance of fighting crime if you enforce
the laws already inacted that arent enforced, all the while agreeing
that assault weapons such as ak 47's should be taken off the streets and
even went so far as to co sponsor the brady bill outlawing them. how do
you fight crime? more people thrown at the problem or stiffer
sentencing? i think its somewhere inbetween the two.

okay ive preached all about im going to and im sure some of you if youve
managed to read this far will say thank god, but i hope i have shared
some insight atleast to this republicans point of veiw on the politics
at hand, keeping in mind i havent even touched on political reasons why
each feel the way they feel. and by the way the whole thought process of
republicans dont care unless your rich is bogess, google the research
yourself on campaigne contributions (reach needs reforming) and you will
see tha for yourself.
we republicans do care, more than most give us credit for, we just do it
and dont need the acolades to prop us up as the better guy- actions
people speak louder than words.
