In General
Republicans and Democrats have different views and opinons on many issues. Generally viewed the Republicans are more conservative. Meaning they are more hesitant towards change, and they hold traditional values more.
Republican
Abortion is something that the Republicans don't support that option. Animals, they think the animals were ment to be out in the wild for our own fun and games of hunting. They support fur coating, and the whole game of hunting wild animals--endangered or not. The Republicans are a big believer of capital punishment, they go with what the bible says: "an eye for an eye." Now the issue with children, they are pro-kids but supporting the children class is what they think "not God's plan."
The Republicans think that people were naturally born--whatever class the person may come from--with the knowledge of right and wrong. Which makes them for capital punishment, the resolution to a person committing a crime is to make them hurt too.
Democrat
Democrats fight for civil rights--despite their religion, race, ethnic background or sex. They do realize that all Americans should have the equal opportunity to an education regardless of the economic status they are born into. If people had the right to express their beliefs, and their ideas are an important quality in a democracy. The Democrats support the First Amendment--saying its vital to the free exchange of ideas. The environment must be protected from people who will take advantage of it. The Democratic Party is a strong supporter of technology and keeping the United States on top. They believe that it is irresponsible to guide the nation into debt to support the living style of the rich. The Democrats believe the government must protect the rights of workers from being taken advantage of. Which includes nice weekly/monthly pay, and work in a safe environment. They approve of health care for ever well-being. They also believe that woman's right to choose is equality between sexes (which they support), so no government should interfere with reproductive rights. The Democrats also approve that America should/is becoming more diverse.
Me
I think I am somewhere in the middle, I think the same and support some ideas from both sides. I can't really declare myself either democrat or republican.
