What's the diffrence between a democrat and a republican?

Democrat - gullable sheep

Republican - gullable coward.

Democrats believe big government like higher taxes will solve the problems for the people. Republicans believe the other way around like lower taxes and free-market economy will help the people to be more independently.

When there was an actual democrat party I always referred to them as the people's party, they stood for the general working class people. Republicans have always been more the business owners, management, entrepreneurial, skilled labor types.

Today there isn't a democrat party anymore (see anyone representing the economical down and out today?), instead there is the progressivist/liberal party that is predominately a statist self representing party.

A democrat thinks with the organ meant to pump blood to the brain

"Any man who is under 30 and is not a liberal has no heart but any man who is over 30 and is not a conservative has no brain." Winston Churchill

Republicans average 15 points higher IQs

The difference is in the underlying political philosophy of governance each subscribes too. After all, the purpose of political parties is to put people of those respective beliefs into political office. Democrats are governed by Progressive Liberalism and to a much smaller extent, Classical Liberalism (Blue Dog Democrats like JFK). Republicans are governed by Conservatism with an increasing amount of Libertarianism.

Conservatism goes with tried and proven methods of governance before trying unproven ones. Liberalism is more idealistic. It looks to promise (or utopia) of new types of systems of government, fulfilling some perceived desire of the people. These are broad definitions because what they mean in specific principles and policy depend on the culture of the country or region. This is reflected in, for instance, how American Conservatism is completely different than any Middle East Conservatism, and is even at odds with those beliefs.

American Conservatism believes in equal opportunity, equal justice, individualism and charity. It holds in great reverence the Constitution and it's ideals of limited federal government and natural (individual) rights. Individual rights are those inherent in the people and do not need an outside enabler (like government) to make them work. It also believes in the power and ability of free market principles to make everyones life better. Although these are principles on Conservatism, it is also pragmatic to bend to a certain extent to non-Conservative principles that may already be in place. For instance, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid may be over-steps of limited Federal government, but they are willing to live with them and just reform them from the bloated, bureaucratic, wasteful mess they are. Neither would it want to go back to the pure market-driven, exploitative days of the Industrial Revolution. Conservatism has no problem with natural inequity in life, just as long as individuals are not blocked or impeded in their rising above those inequities. The implied Constitutional mandate of the proper role of government, being the protection of rights and liberties of it's citizens is the mechanism that support this. This does not guarantee happiness, but it protects their pursuit of it. The individual's abilities are what determines how far they can go. For those who have difficulty, there is charity, even a hand-up from government to a certain extent, but not a handout. Compassion is not measured by how many people can be taken care of by government, but by how many DON'T have to be taken care of by government, trapped by welfare.

Liberalism believes in equal outcome, social justice, collectivism and government welfare. It believes that government should be as active as possible in helping it's citizens as much as possible with cradle-to-grave programs. It believes government must take an active role in removing as many inequities of life as possible. Society must change to support this system of "help". Liberalism believes in human (collective) rights. These kind of rights requires government to supply them and people are entitled to these type of rights. Liberals want redistribution of wealth and envision the role of big-business to serve more directly as more employee support centers and less profit centers, working in “partnership” with government as outlets for government social policies.
