Republicans freed the slaves! That is all the arguement i need. Did you Coni Rice's father became a republican because the democrats wouldn't let him register to vote because he was a black man. Republicans believe in patriotism and freedom. I mean war hasn't solved anything, only communism, nazism, its only how we won our freedom. War never works! (That was sarcasm) Democrats oversimplify everything. Solving the economy problems is not as simple as you claim. Oh and National Healthcare won't be a piece of cake either. If the dems can fix medicare and social securuty than i will trust them with healthcare. The republicans tell the truth. We dont like about snipper fire in Bosnia nor are we friends with people who are terrorist! We are moraly supperior and YOU KNOW IT!

First of all, the fact that the republicans freed the slaves has no relevance today. Most african americans vote Democrat anyway, because democrats supported teh civil rights movement while the republicans sat back and laughed. I believe the Condi Rice's father thing is an isolated incident. I don't see where you get that democrats DONT believe in patriotism and freedom. How did war solve communism? We never battled the Soviets; China and Cuba are still holding out (not that i support or am a commy.) Did u notice that most of the depressions and recessions in American history begin in a republican presidency? It is disgraceful to think that some people don't have healthcare- i believe that the government could run it perfectly well. You just don't have enough patriotism to believe it :). i believe that the sniper fire (only 1 p) incident is compeltely irrelevant. I find it sad that that would even effect your judgement as to the ablest candidate for president, and the terrorist thing is more FOX propoganda. Democrats are morally superior because they try to benefit the most people in teh country, and not, as some assume, at the expense of the rich. AND YOU KNOW IT!

Populist... I know your party has good intentions, you do, but in actuality you are morally inferior. They are very hypocritical! The Clintons are liars and tawdry people! Obama and Clinton make negative attacks on each other claiming the other is too negative! The party is tearing itself apart! They believe that you can kill as many babies as you want, no matter how careless you were to get in that situation! Same with foreclosure! People are careless! Did they not read their mortgages??? Republicans in general are people of faith with strong morals. While Republicans stand for tax breaks, Democrats stand of tax increases. What the Democrats think is rich and what i consider rich are totally different. When they say they will increase taxes on the rich, alot of times they really are talking about the middle class. Republicans follow the Constitution faithfully and do what our founding fathers wanted us to do.... help the country. Unlike many Democrats "We have been proud of our country in our adult lives!" Unlike Michelle Obama....
"For Republicans every day is the 4th of july, for democrats, every day is April 15!!

Democrats are morally correct on several levels. and when i say morally correct i dont mean cheating on their spouse or lying about sniper fire morally correct. I mean policy wise. Let's take a look.
taxes- get rid of the Bush tax cuts which (obviously) have not helped the economy at all. This will provide the government with more money, which means it will tax the middle class and bottom class less.
gopdiva said 04/22, 09:56 PM
Tax cuts aren't the cause of the recession! You see the economy is like a deep breath. During periods of great growth, like under the bush admin. we were inhaling. It was time to exhale. You say recessions always happen with Repubs. In office well that is because they cause great growth in the economy and every time "we inhale, we have to exhale" This is Suze Ormans Terminology, not mine.

Eradicated? are you serious? hello "Right to bear arms" every heard of it! read the constitution before posting on this sight you obviously are very one-sided.(NO need for our constitutional rights to be infringed upon) it would be impossible to eradicate guns! Say you take away all the guns from the registered carriers... criminals would still be able to obtain them illegally through means of stealing or getting from foreign countries so what would actually end up happening in your "vision" would be the registered gun carriers getting all the guns taken away and the innocent people would no longer have a means to defend themselves. and on top of that what would be next? taking away knifes??? you know before guns they used swords!! And i dare you to try to take a gun away from a southerner! you obviously don't think things through sweetie you need to think before you type! thanks!

The reason the whole thing about guns is in the constitution is because the founding fathers thought that, if someone tries to become a dictator, the people can rally and fight back. I doubt anyone would try to become a dictator nowadays, and, even if they did, they would simiply use the government's weapons against little 22 caliber rifles. There is simply no purpose to have a gun, im sorry. the only reason i can think of to have a gun is to fight someone else with a gun. if no one has a gun, there will be no need for anyone to protect themselves. We do have police

...you realize that Republicans forced integration on the segregated (Democrat controlled) South, correct? Learn basic US history, then try and make relevant points.

first off populist, if you're going to go out of your way to correct someone else's spelling, learn to spell the word "the". pretty basic "T" "H" "E". didn't you notice all the depressions/recessions that began at the end of a democratic presidency, (dot com bust, bill clinton-just to point out the most recent). i do enjoy knowing that all of my concerns are either isolated/irrelevant incidents or propoganda.

The English dictionary defines CORRECT as : VERB 1. to make or set right 2. to alter or adjust as to bring to some standard or required condition 3. to punish with a view to reforming or improving 4. to point out the errors or faults ADJECTIVE 1. conforming to an approved or conventional standard 2. conforming to or agreeing with a fact, logic,or known truth 3. conforming to a set ~ figure The Democrats as a party have issues with any of the above. Not everything what they do is right, or adjusted to become a [good] standard or tto point to their errors/faults or to conform with the standards or conforming to a known truth. On the contrary... everything is twisted in their advantage even if it is wrong. Associating the above behavior with the morality to define it as MORALLY CORECT does not make any sense because many things the democrats do/say are not correct and/or moral. For me , "Democrats are the morally correct party" is a slogan rather than a fact.

i am not saying that the dems are always 100% correct, or that the pres are always 100% wrong naedrod. I am just saying that, on the whole, the democrats make decisions that benefit the majority of Americans, where as Republicans make decisiions that benefit bigb business. One might argue that the money from the businesses trickles down into the lower classes, but most of it gets caught up with the uppoer class...

Honestly, i do not like either of the democratic candidates that much. if al gore ran, i would be all over it, but i am not so happy in the current state of things (not that id vote McCain!) THATS SAID, i still think that the democrats have a much stronger platform this year. They want to get out of Iraq, a war costly in both human lives (on both sides (meaning Iraqi civilians, not terrorist (they can die)))) and money, create a universal health care plan for the united states (we have only the 37th best health care plan in the world, yet are the richest country), and try to stop global warming (although i would like to see more of that in the debates.) I am only anti-democrat on abortion

This may be the worst loss in elephant-donkey history. The only vote he got was probably his own ^_^

that is just because people on this website are close minded conservatives... if you would listen to what i wrote, you would see that gopdiva made comments that do not have any relevance to the morallity of the CURRENT political parties.

food for thought: cheating on your wife is "Morally incorrect" but three staunch democratic presidents have done it (Kennedy Clinton and yes, FDR)and many democrats would follow them to the death. Perhaps the issue is not who is the most morally correct party, but who has the most morally correct leadership skills.
