Question

Not being an American myself, I always wonder what is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. I hear those terms in the news all the time. I understand they are the two mayor political parties in the U.S.A., but can you guys describe them in two simple sentences for an average inteligence foreigner to understand;

DEMOCRAT=...

REPUBLICAN=...

No more than 10 words each please.

I do believe you guys ALL get along and drink together on election day, right ?

Default republican vs. democrat

Lets say that our neighbor who is hungry needs our help to feed his family. Regardless if we are Republican or Democrat we would agree that we should help. As a Democrat the solution will be to have the government spend our money to give our neighbor a fish, feeding him, but making him reliant on the government to survive. As a Republican we would spend our money to teach our neighbor to fish, also feeding him, but making him self reliant. Often the difference between the two is not the goal, but the method.

That's more than 10 words each isn't it?

And yes I have both Republican and Democratic friends. We drink together because we are Americans first and Republicans or Democrats second.

democrats believe they are owed something, whether its right or not
republicans believe they have earned something whether its right or not
I believe I'm pissed at both of them for taking my money I earn and pay in taxes for what they belive and doing nothing but providing for their own self intrest in government

Actually we screw ourselves, every four to six years.

One of the reasons the old and purchased media outlets are hammering the independents and the tea party people and trying to demonize them is they are scared that the Independant voice will be heard this November.

For our country's sake, for our sake, I hope that it happens in a HUGE way.
One massive turn over this November will send chills down every Progressives back side.

Boy do we need it.
