Are you a Democrat or Republican?

   Query: “What is the difference between a Democrat and Republican?  When you register to vote at age eighteen, what party will you register for and why?

As you may know, the primary elections are coming up shortly and it is time for the first step: choosing a few democrats and republicians who will run for president in the 2008 election. One general difference between them is democtratics are more open to change, where as republicans favor traditions and rituals. One of the most noticeable differences between a Democratic and Republican is that Democtrats usually favor an limited role of government in society, and believe that such dependence on the private division can help achieve larger goals of freedom and leadership. Below is a list of some of the issues that Democrats and Republicans feel strongly about.

               Democtrats                                                                Republicans

             against abortion                   abortion should be legal

Strong regulations  needed to protect  environment strong envirormental laws harm economy 

 oppose prayer in school                                             favor prayer in school

strong anti-discrimination laws are needed     strong anti-discrimination laws are not needed 

Increase taxes on wealthy to pay for public programs         lower taxes to help economy

When I register to vote at the age of 18, I will most likely become a republican because I feel strongly about the pro-life movement (against abortion) and I favor traditions in our culture. I also believe that the government should be active to help conserve our environment and make sure that the citizens of the United States are following the laws that are listed in the constitution that was made by our great founders of America.
