[quote="Fluffy_Bunny":631c9]The Tory party is the greatest political party in the world! BTW, what is the difference between the word Republican and Democrat? Don't they mean the same thing?
I know Republican is conservative and Democrat is liberal, but isn't a republic a democratic society? If that were the case then a Republican would also mean a Democrat. oOo: stupid: oOo: eek:[/quote:631c9]
Republican= Wants things to stay a little bit harsher, example favors capital punishment. Against things that demeen a society. Theyre the ones the fucking left wing always protests. Usually pro-war. A Bush type guy
Democrat=Wants more freedom and movement. Against capital punishment and for affirmitive action. Protesters are always left wing. Usually antiwar. A John F Kennedy type guy.
This is how it went:
In the first days of French democratic rule the three estates generals were disbanded and replaced by the National assembly (sort of like the house of representives.
There was a long hallway where 3 types of assemblymen sat. The ones on the left wanted more freedom and the likes. Making them left wingers which=liberal=democrat. The ones on the right wanted as explained above. Republican=Right winger=conservitive. Conservitives are like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and virtually anyone on MSNBC.Moderates are a mixture of both.
