others see it as an independent way of life. such as "let me fend for myself, don't carry me along in life".

what a load of absolute, biased crap. tell me embryonic, just how the hell do you justify generalizing an entire political party like that? this could have been a fine side thread if it hadn't been for you both trying to so obviously assert democrats are more compassionate, therefore kinder, then republicans. what about abortion? if you believe abortion kills a person and their soul, then how can you say democrats are more compassionate when more then not republicans are the ones that are anti-abortion.
jupiter, you see the basic republican philosophy as a "me-first" attitude. well others see it as an independent way of life. such as "let me fend for myself, don't carry me along in life". concerning this fairness thing, do you believe republicans don't care for all people? could you substantiate your opinion on demorats caring more for everyone? republicans are traditional, can you blame them for wanting to adhere to the same morals and values that our countries founders believed in? Embryonic, to say republicans are ignorant and close-minded is tripe, not to mention such a general belief goes against what a democrat supposedly stands for. most self-confessed democrats i know aren't open-minded, they just "don't care" and think "hey yeah, let people do whatever they damn well please." both of you need to get off your high horse and see past party lines.

As an outsider to American politics, it comes as a huge irony to me, that a country founded by freemasons with the desire to leave the religous intolerance of the holy roman empire behind, should have a political system based on the Roman model of Republican versus Democrat.
As for old souls/young souls, Republicans and Democrats have been at odds in one forum or another for over two thousand years and nothing seems to change. The Democrats have all the good ideas but the Republicans win all the votes by going to war.
