Someone who is a member of the Republican party. Republicans believe
1. Low taxes- low taxes allow the American people to keep more of their income. They will then have more money and will be able to invest it for their retirement or spend it in the economy. If the money is spent, more job oppurtunities are created and the country's economy goes up.
2. Lower taxes for the rich- the upperclass currently pays 75 percent of all the taxes in this country. Now tell me is that fair? The upperclass hardly ever gets anything out of these taxes because most of it is used to go to policies which help the poor. Democrates only want to tax the upperclass more, even though they make up only about 5 percent of the population and pay for 75 percent of the taxes. The upperclass also puts the most amount of money into social security and gets the least amount back out later on in their retirement.
3. Pro Life- A life begins at the moment of conception. Why would anyone want to even consider killing a baby? It is terrible. Has anyone ever considered that an aborted baby may one day be the one to find the cure for cancer or might be the next Einstein? If you dont want the child then put it up for adoption. So many Americans are looking to adopt children and they need to go to Asian countries to get them.
4. Againt Affirmative Action- A person should not get financial aid or preferential treatment just because of race. Hundreds of white males are being denied to colleges just becasue the college would rather take someone who is black. Affirmative action is only pointing out racism even more and making the problem worse. If racism wants to be ended then the country needs to start treating people as equals and not giving special treatment only because someone is a minority.
5. Is against gun conrtol- The second ammendment states that Americans have the right to bear arms. Republicans believe in the ammendments.
6. Against policies- Republicans are against government policies. They make people dependent on the government instead of relying on themselevs. The job of the government is not to take care of people's financial needs. If people are not smart enough to save their money during the course of their career than that is too bad for them. Democrates are always for creating policies. What people dont understand is that people are going to eventually pay for those policies which will cause higher taxes. Higher taxes takes money away from the people which in return causes GDP to go down and causes the economy to go down.
7. Want tighter border control- Illegal aliens are not acceptable and need to be sent back to where they came from. They come to America and take advantage of the public school systems and usually avoid paying taxes because they are paid under the table.
8. Non intervention foreign policy- Bush is the one acception to this but he is an idiot. Most Republicans believe in a non intervention foreign policy which basically means we dont get involved in other countries business. They dont believe in policing the world, and they mind their own business here in America.
9. Believe in a smaller Federal Government: The founding fathers wanted America to be run by the people and not allow the government to gain too much power. Republicans are usually the party which does not promote policies which control the American's peoples' lives. They want the American people to run themselves and make descions for themselves.
10. Anti Universal Healthcare- Universal healthcare would only cause the American people to pay more taxes to support the system. The upperclass would be called upon once again to pay for most of it even though they already pay 75 percent of America's taxes. Universal healthcare would also discourage compitition which is extremely important for the economy. IF there is no compitiion then doctors will make a lot less money and the medical business will no longer be the money making business it is now. Universal healthcare also causes people to go on waiting lists to get unneeded surgeries done.
Some common misconceptions: Democrates seem to believe that all Repbulicans support the war in Iraq. That is completly wrong and by no means true. Befor Bush, Republicans were always anti-war and were for a none intervention foreign policy.
Democrates also seem to believe that Republicans want to tax the lower class more. That is not true. They want lower taxes for all people.
Democrates seem to believe that Republicans want to get rid of soscial security, welfare, medicare, and the minimum wage. That is completely false. Republicans do find those policies somewhat valuable and they only want to prevent further unneeded policies to be formed because taxes would only increase.

A person who believes in individualism. A person who wants to ensure that with hard work and determination, you can achieve success. Sadly, the party has been taken over by moronic "Conservative" scumbags who believe that the country must have more religious values in non political issues and tend to favor free markets that are free to the point where Capitalism becomes concentrated in small sectors and forgets about the rest of the country. If these people knew what a conservative was they would NEVER have voted for Ronald Reagan since he raised taxes on the rich people and borrowed money.
I'm a republican who believes in controlled capitalism and a small but effective government, and I want my tax money to fund public interests.

Used to be the party that stood for something. Has recently abandoned core principles, which is why it is divided right now.
Half the party still believes in personal responsibility, ingenuity, and resolve.
Believes that the very Government that has screwed every social program up, from social security, to infrastructure funding, to the banking industry, should not be the same entity that oversees healthcare.
The cavemen who would hunt, gather, fish, navigate, and kept the society generally productive were Republicans.
Un-educated up to high school diploma holders are generally NOT Republicans.
Those who go to college, and receive high degrees(i.e Bachelors), doctorites, or PhDs ARE majority Republican.

Republican: I have provided you the ends and the means to which you can become successful.
Democrat: Take that man's money! Evil! Lie! Lie! Lie! Lyer! Lying! Lie! Lie! I like to aimlessly throw around the word "lie"!

A political party that falls on the right in the spectrum. Tends to believe in Lassiez Faire economics, otherwise know as Capitalism, and some restrictions of personal choice. While i dont completely agree with their ideology, i consider myself a republican because i cant come to support the vast majority of democrats today.
Some Examples of republican ideals i agree with:
War is sometimes nesscesary.
You should Earn your own money.
There should be a flat tax rate.
Illegal immigration should be stopped.
The Death Penalty.
Freedom of speech, Responsible for the Liberal Media (MSNBC, EvilGOPbastards.com, Democratic Underground)
and the conservative media (FOX News, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh)

Political party in the United States originally formed in 1854 to champion the rights of slaves, promote higher education and modernize the United States. Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican president in 1860.
Modern Republicans typically support a strong military but a small government, the right to own a firearm, equality for taxpayers and freedom of religious expression.
Modern Republican icons are President George Bush, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh.
