Who supports what? I imagine most people would be democratic, ya know, cause democrats aren't against life style choices and love the enviroment.
And I misspelled "democrat". Yey. |

I don't know, and I don't care.
Honestly, I don't want to choose at all. ![]() |

There's not really any huge difference between the major parties; each party's platform is basically "do whatever it takes to keep power." however, there is a difference between being moderate and apathetic. and yes, both parties want power but they do have different stands on issues (taxes, abortion, gay marriage, etc). |

Sure, they have stands now, but those change with according to the group the party is trying to woe. Look at fiscal responsbility, for example. In the late 80s and early 90s, Republicans clamored for a balanced budget; Democrats were the ones who spent more than the government earned. Now, fifteen years later, Republicans drive a budget deficit, while Democrats clamor for a balanced budget. The only consistency is that the party in power spends as much as it can, while the minority party does everything it can to criticize those in power. The reason I can understand apathy is that political platforms change with the wind, and taking an active role in politics hardly results in long-term change. Politicians never think more than 4-6 years down the road. |
