  We vote for Republicans because they want to govern with low taxes and do not want to burden us with regulations. We are allowed to flurish on our own without the government micro managing our lives. The Democrats want us to depend on them for handouts. If that isn't socialism what is it. the government owns your soul. I think the problem today is our youth are brainwashed in college by their teachers into the socialist ideology. What a shame! They really never study capitalism so don't know the difference. I would challenge them to question what they are being taught and not just accept it at face value.

    Too bad absolutely none of what you just typed is true.
    If it were, I'd be a Republican.
    If you look at what they do and how they legislate, instead of what they say, you'd see that you've been CONNED.

      Rampant Capitalism = social Darwinism, survival of the greediest, every man for himself, government treats citizens like strangers
      
      Moderate Socialism = government treats citizens like family

        Exactly. Government bailouts of failing businesses and even failing industry sectors, corporate welfare, "privatization" of public works to enrich businesses at the expense of citizens, an economy "regulated" by the fed to maintain a certain percentage of unemployment -
        
        What we have in the US is a two tiered system -
        
        Socialism for businesses and the wealthy, laissez-fair, dog-eat-dog for the rest of us.

  You shills keep trying to paint the act of using the power of government to distribute support to the most needful in our society as some type of ploy to foster dependence on the state, but in reality nothing could be further from the truth.
  
  It is actually the classic debate that has been the undercurrent of this country's government since it's inception. The debate most eloquently, famously, and firstly popularized by the political dialogs of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams; whether government has a role in private life at all. Jefferson argued that if it had a role at all, it lay in providing exactly such services.
  
  The Dem platform is almost entirely Jeffersonian, all the way across. As near as I can tell, the GOP platform comes from some strange bastardization of the Bible and Mein Kampf.

      There is no such thing as long term welfare. That is another outright lie of the GOP disinformationists.
      If we closed loopholes in corporate handouts as thoroughly as we've closed loopholes in social services in the last forty years, we might still have an economy.
      Even back when it was an openly abusable and abused system (abused by so-called conservatives as thoroughly as any) the public money spent was a pittance compared to the outright smash-and-grab heists the corporations of the military-industrial complex pull off administration after administration.

        Grrr - what is your opinion of this financially opened ended project?
        
        * Establish 20 Promise Neighborhoods: Obama will create 20 Promise Neighborhoods in areas that have high levels of poverty and crime and low levels of student academic achievement in cities across the nation. The Promise Neighborhoods will be modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, which provides a full network of services, including early childhood education, youth violence prevention

        Late, but since you asked...
        
        Only a short-sighted mean-spirited cad of a scrooge would object to a program like that. Especially when we spend something like a million times those dollars to bomb civilians and burn babies in the interest of big energy (that's "nat'l security" for you CON shills).
        What is your problem with putting tax dollars into districts that obviously have not gotten the tax dollars they should have for the last 40 years?

  So why did conservatives vote against civil rights legislation? Against equal pay for equal work? Against voting rights? So why do you think it is that the vast majority of black people are Democrats? If the Republican agenda was so great for them, they would be Republicans. And Republicans have made sport out of belittling strong women like Hillary Clinton. It should be telling to you that the majority of delegates at the Republican convention were white men. Last week a GA representative said that Obama was 'uppity'. Down here in the south that is code for "he doesn't know his place". Mike Huckabee was at a Confederate flag rally in South Carolina. Ronald Reagan attended one in 1980. Yet you think that Democrats are racist? You can fool yourself but blacks and women are smarter than that.
