Democrats vs. Republicans...?

Reciently I heard it put this way... "Republicans want to be your daddy, they want to tell you what to do, who to be, and how to act... Democrats want to be your mommy, they want to feed you, care for you, make sure you feel good about yourself... Libertarians want to treat you like an adult." Interesting way to put it... what do you think?

    I like it! I also like "Republicans are the party of bad ideas. Democrats are the party of no ideas."

    no longer likely, it incredibly is extra like this Democrat vs. Republican= needed government administration of your existence to the smallest element vs. own duty. additionally, i comprehend a great form of Democrats who're rich exterior of Hollywood. What you're spouting is the left wing mantra that has been around for some years.

    The prevailing philosophies of the parties:

    Republican: free market capitalism and Christian moral values.

    Democrat: quasi socialism and secular humanist values.

    Libertarian: Government should do little to nothing at all.

    All three have their problems (with various extremes in each). For me, although I do not like unrestrained free market capitalism at all costs, I prefer the Republicans.

    Republicans and Democrats are both pretty much one extreme or another. I believe that they should seriously start coming up with a more moderate and realistic party that can express the true views of most Americans.

    I think that makes a lot of sense except for the caveat that: Republicans (at least the dream of the good ole GOP) like your father want to teach you responsibility so you can eventually strike out on your own in fact they can't wait until you get out of the house and Democrats like Mom want you to be their little dependent baby forever"
