What I Do Not Understand About Democrats?

I understand perfectly. they have fallen for the same BS line republicans have. That if we continualy vote for one party over the other that somehow things will change. How is voting for the same two groups of people over and over again "change?. People buy in to the promises of largess from the public treasury by both parties.

Democrats are about advancing socialism and expanding the role of government. They are about making people dependent on the government in order to gain control of the people. They care nothing for people, just the power over people that they can gain. How hard is that to understand?

I am at the point to where I do not consider myself Democrat or Republican. Both parties cause a lot of issues to come about and there are people in them so greed tends to take over whom ever is in charge. It is difficult for me to see them as putting the people first when you have Congress folks who have been in their positions for 20 plus years. I think they care more about big business than about the people who vote for them and put them in power.

Gew, both parties support contradictions, yet I see you forgot the last eight years. I find it so funny how republicans, like youself, have erased from your memory the entire last 8 years, as if they never existed. You have forgot all about the Patriot act that took away rights from Americans, created the largest federal government department, and took away state rights, and put them in the hands of the federal government. Everthing that republicans say they are against, yet they showed their supported for it by reelected George W. Bush. I hate to tell you this Gew, but you didn't do anything about this in the last eight years; Why are you doing it now? Is it because it is a Democrat doing it, and not a Republican?

I believe that the government has absolutely NO right to interfere with our private affairs, so long as they dont not violate others in their right to freedom. I believe that the government exists solely for the purpose of providing services that we as americans cannot provide for ourselves. I believe that corporations are inherently evil, and that the only tool that we the people have to combat them is our government, who is there to do nothing but obey our command for protection and service. as it happens, most of my beliefs fall in line with the democratic party, and thus I call myself a democrat. The only thing you seem to not understand about democrats is that, we dont all believe the same things.

The Democratic and the Republican parties are not monolithic organisations with one goal and one thought process. They are made up of people, just as Independents, Green Party members, and others are individuals working in a group. As such, they're going to have all sorts of different ideas on how best to achieve good things for people. I think both parties have good intentions, and neither party has a chokehold on the one right way to deal with things. But the kind of contradictions you are describing exist within the Republican party as well: they love babies so much that they insist that all of them be born, no matter how difficult that is for the mother, but once that child is born, they want no responsibility for caring for it, no matter how poor the mother is. Once the child is born, the resentment begins. The Republicans believe that most poverty and want can be solved through private charity, yet they resent giving any of their money as taxes to administer that same charity in an equitable manner. The Republicans argue against public control of everything EXCEPT one's private relationships and one's reproductive rights. They argue against public decisions about health unless they involve a woman's uterus. So you see, those contradictions are not just properties of the Democratic party, or ANY party. It's the case in any group that people will have contradictory beliefs, and political parties seem to attract more of that than most groups. Perhaps it's best said this way. Republicans are idealists, who believe if left alone, people will be charitable, kind, caring, and watching out for each other, and that the government only interferes. Corporations will never exploit their workers, or betray the public trust for the gain of their shareholders. Republicans rely on the notion that we can trust private organisations to look out for the public interest. Democrats are cynics, who think that most people only look out for themselves, and so they look to government to ensure the charity and care for others that they do not believe corporations and individuals can be trusted to provide. History shows that the Democratic view of people is more accurate than the Republican one. It may be cynical, but sadly, it's probably also right.

hmmmm.....AS PEOPLE i believe we are being forced to partake in many things or beliefs controlled by the government, no matter what we represent. It's not a matter of being hypocritical of beliefs, but doing what we have to do IN ORDER TO SURVIVE now... Remember it's not like we are all happy go lucky suit and dress wearers' like back in the old days. NOW WE QUESTION THINGS, but having to get by in what is forced on us, as Citizens of this country.

That Is true, not all people can understand about democrats. Although aim not America State citizen, but aim trust concept democrats is bring all people to understand democracy
