Most of you have it wrong.
Republicans and Democrats first apeeared (or at least as I know of) during the American Civil
War, when Democrats were anti-Abolitionists (wanted slavery) and Republicans were Abolitionists (didn't want slavery). Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. Since those times, Democratic and Republican qualities almost switched.

June 1832 Riots.
Now for some of the more modern content you probably came here for:
~It's not that we're against freedom of
religion, it's just that Christianity is the most common
religion of the Republicans.
~The reason we want healthcare cuts is that, prepare yourself, THE
GOVERNMENT NEEDS MONEY! I admit, not the best place in the world to
cut money from, but there you have it.
~We are against abortion because it's cruel and inhumane. Now, if we're in the case of a pregnant rape victim, there's always adoption! We don't need to
kill the baby! If we're in the case of a tubal pregnancy, then it would be reasonable, since it would
kill both the mother and child if carried to term.
~We think that countries should be able to take care of themselves without the use of foreign aid. But we know that isn't possible at this point in time.
