political party who beileves in raiseing taxes on the rich to help fund welfare programs ment to help the poor and keep the middle class strong.just like Aristole,Thomas Jefferson,Karl Marx,John manard Keynes,and other smart people the believe that a strong middle class makes a strong country.What Democrats are most famous for though is that they worship the human spirit and believe that everyone is equal and fight for civil rights.Even though the Democrats philosphy is better then the Republicans they often loose elections since they arent funded by big buisness or rich people as much.When a Democrat does become president though it has always been a surplus and a step forward in civil rights except jimy carter.The Ideal Democrat these days resembles an F.D.R or a more moderet democrat former president bill clinton.
a school gets funded in a poor neighberhood makeing it good enough to be teaching those students who want to go to college things that they need to learn to go to college. If that school is not funded those people remain in that poor comunity.THINK OF IT HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A GOOD PUBLIC SCHOOL THAT DOESENT GET ALOT OF GOVERMENT FUNDS DO WELL,AND DOES A BAD PUBLIC SCHOOL EVER HAVE A HIGH STUDENT SUCCESS RATE AFTER THE STUDENT HAS LEFT? the answer to that is no just look at texas,newyork,flordia,philly,ect who get poorly funded.

Get the Democratsmug. The only political persuasion left for free thinking people in the United States. The only viable political party left for libertarians who have brains enough to see that the Republican party has been taken over by greed-mongoring, war-mongering, closet-bigotted, crony-paying, corporatist assholes who are all too eager to cut your verteran father's healthcare, send your brother into battle without armor, strip your sick grandmother out of her medicaid coverage, and move your job overseas if can save them and their mega-rich buddies a few dollars.
Democrat is the designation of a political party that has sucked for a long time, but the only one left for anyone who thinks government doesn't belong snooping in your bedroom or in your church group.
Democrat is the only political label for anyone who gets laid on a regular basis. Because we all know that these stuffy no-dick asswipe Republicans aren't getting any. If you vote for bigger trucks and bigger bombs you must be compensating for something! And if you are a woman and vote Republican, you must have dried up a long time ago.
Democrat is the only way left to keep souless dry-balled pricks like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld from fucking it up for everyone but their mega-wealthy buddies - using their talking monkey George Bush and their token Afro-American woman Condi Rice to make it all sound nice to those who aren't paying attention.
Democrat - if you care about your job, your family, and our country - is the only label with hope anymore.

See that guy over there? He's sexy, a survivor. He can kick some ass if he needs to but doesn't need to be a blow-hard bully to prove himself. He actually gets along with people of different colors and ways of life. He doesn't stuff his religion down your throat either. He doesn't think that screwing other people out of what they want and need is always the right way to get ahead, even if it is the easiest. He's probably read a few books without being forced to by a teacher. He must be a Democrat!

Those who support democracy, since the word democrat is derived from the word democracy. A political party opposite of republican, though, sometimes, hard to distinguish based on current well-known democrats who have been more republican-like such as Bill Clinton and Tom Daschle. A true democrat supports the welfare of everyone, as opposed to the welfare of only the 10% upper class.

Get the democratmug. An American citizen who actually cares about other people. Likes to actually use logic to solve problems, other than the common Republican slogan, "If they don't agree.. Bomb 'em!" Often called "Communist", "Nazi", or "terrorist sympathizer" by Republicans for actually giving a damn about this nation's people.
Republican: Let's brainwash all of the United States' citizens into believing that we do the work of God and that Democrats are really just a satanic cult trying to take over the US Government!

Get the Democratmug. democratic principles are generally based on equality, toleration, and justice (unlike the self-serving, selfish policies of the republican party)
for example:
1)abortions are sometimes necessary to protect the health and life of a woman, especially in cases of rape, incest and danger to the mother. republicans prefer to criminalize abortion. democrats do not support abortion, they support the CHOICE to have an abortion. no mother would make that choice unless she absolutely had to.
2)citizens born into low income families and neighborhoods are born in a difficult situation that is hard to escape and should be assisted by the government through social welfare programs so they can take steps to escape poverty and prevent the cycle from recurring. this would solve many inner city problems such as gang violence and drug abuse. welfare is not a handout, it is a program, and without it many americans would have nothing.
3)there is no need for every american citizen to own a gun. this amendment in the constitution was referring to a time of war when the battles were being fought in the home country. putting guns in the hands of civilians is putting guns in the hands of criminals - because criminals are civilians after all. also, thousands of accidental deaths occur every year as a result of keeping a gun in the home and the possession of a gun is dangerous and easily abused.
4) taxes are necessary to build roads, fund schools and fund other social programs that are necessary for a healthy and succesful society. many americans are allergic to the idea of "raising taxes" but democrats believe that higher taxes are better than low taxes and underfunded schools. after all, all taxes we pay contribute to the quality of the society that we ourselves live in.
5) capital punishment is not justice, it is murder. there is no "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" because humans have no right to play God and decide whether another human deserves to live or die. a life of imprisonment is no slap on the wrist and is the closest to justice that a civilized society can come. we are the only non-third-world country where capital punishment is still legal and through mistakes made in the justice system, several innocent or partially innocent people have been killed.
7) the "American way" is not the only way. this country is the bully on the global playground and democrats believe that attentions should be more focused on the problems at home, such as the economy. most other countries either despise the USA or make fun of it and repeatedly using words such as "liberty" and "freedom" (for example "freedom fries") is pure propoganda.
