I'll break it down to you -

REPUBLICANS - Small Government

DEMOCRATS - Big Government

That's the gist of the two major parties. Republicans believe in a small government that lets Americans handle their own affairs, i.e. decresed health care, and welfare. Democrats of course WANT to help the litle man, so they want more money and aid for needy Spanish immigrants.

Or you could say

Republicans - Rich Man. (short term- 5 year plan)

Democrats - Poor Man. (long term - plan for our childerns children)


The republicans believe that with less government interference in Big Business sector, the trickle down theory will shut the poor up. You know the more crap that trickles down, the faster the poor get buried under it.

Democrats believe that not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. That some people actually need help getting by,(unfortantly, they set up system that is abused by to many people), that other things besides profits for the already rich is important. Also without govenment oversight a lot of companies will do more damage to the environment in the name of a qiuck profit today.


But who really cares anyway. Both parties are run by the Almight Dollar. It's not what the Reps or Dems believe in, but what the people with money tell them to believe in.

Lets hope the Democrats talk some sense into the Repubs oOo:

That's odd. My father, a middle class working man, wholehartedy supports the Republican party, so maybe that assumtion was a bit farfetched, on both ends. As I am quite young, I can't say for sure what either party truly stands for. Through the viewpoint of my parents (one of which is a Democrat, the other a Republican) I can see that the Republican party favors free commerce with the government only acting to enforce the nescessary laws, similar to what Thomas Jefferson felt. They also seem to favor earning an income through working, as well as what they earn through work is rightfully theirs, and the government has little right to take it from them, although most do recognize the fact that taxes are nescessary.. not all of which are proper.

Just west of the Greater-Boston area, there are small, wealthy communities. Many of those people try to leave those in need out of their towns (although they would never admit it..). The numbers show that the majority of people in those communities are Democrats, interesting, isn't it?

All too true. Generations get by on government funded programs sponsored by our hard earned tax dollars. The same people that do not bother to get a job, or actually make a living for themselves.

I love my guns and hate the entitlement attitude. That makes dems evil. But then again, I think the environment should be a priority, not big business. So that makes the repubs evil too. I sure do wish we had more than two parties.

[Innoxx]

Pfft, two words: Jean Chretien.

My problem with the Republicans is the fact that their idea of "small government" is making education (both K-12 and college), and research programs like the NSF suffer.
Being as I am a Chemistry major, the destruction of the NSF would mean I couldn't get grants when I eventually become a professor.


of course neither the Democrats of Republicans look towards their own wages as a place to cut the budget, the fucktards in Congress double their salaries like every 8 years (when everyone knows the cost of living does not double every 8 years)

Ahhh, you might want to do a little research on that. Most of these people in politics do NOT get their "wealth" from simply their job. Most of them were lawyers, businessmen, etc. before heading into congress or politics.

As far as government being tight on EDUCATION, that's a joke. EDUCATION is suffering in America, but comparatively speaking it isn't. The reason we're able to hold such a HIGH BAR for education standards is because we are raised to believe we are the best. And when that does not reflect a world-wide trend then we get antsy. Fact of the matter is there are ALWAYS going to be poor neighboorhoods who cant afford the newest HOLOGRAM TEACHERS AIDES or whatever in the future. But, the QUALITY of education, and it's potential is exponentially high. We just have lazy fucking kids. I mean, school is GIVEN to us, in MEXICO after a certain grade you've got to start paying for it. And I'm not talking college here.

uh-huh, in my senior year in high school our German teacher had to teach and overleaod of classes because there was a hiring freeze due to budget cuts, she had to drive between the main campus and the Freshman campus.
Plus our German IV class was cut out because we had 15 poeple in it and the fact that we didn't have enough teachers.


Hold off on commenting, I'll get back with more info later.

its kind of funny how those multi-million dollar grants to our district that davis would talk so much about somehow never found their way into the actual schools oOo:

I'll comment on this here - Subs man. Subs. I dont know what this aversion to substitute teachers is, but they are qualified to handle the work load, if there is a hiring freeze. It's strange though, because I've never known a School District to ever have one of those. As far as German IV is concerned - cmon now. German III or German AP is fine, but German IV?

And DAVIS used the money meant for schools to fund his campaign. Cmon. Even that's obcious to me. I know I voted for SIMON.

1. yes we did have a hiring freeze, and at the same time our yopunger German teacher (who taught mostly German I and II at the Freshman campus) left for "greener pastures"

2. What do you mean German IV is too much? Are you saying that it's better to have an average education than an excellent one?
Actually it was a combine German IV-V, you could opt to take it a sceond year (as many of us who took I in 8th grade did), it was essentially the same class but switched what books we read between years. This course was more to gain proficiency in reading and understanding short novels and further conversational German with conversations/plays based on the books.)

3. who the hell is Davis?

gray davis the shithead governor who always preaches more money for schools for his campaigns and then never does anything to make sure it's used correctly

well, I never said that Democrat politicians aren't corrupt.
They're politicians, nearly all politicians are currupt to some degree.
