Like being a good person makes them a pussy or something. Democrats want to create a huge socialistic dependency class through more and more social programs in the guise of “helping their fellow man”. The real motive behind all this is power and money. The more people that they can make dependent on government programs, (started, maintained, and supported by Democrats), the more automatic votes they have in every election. This allows them to hold on to the power they desperately crave. Not to say that I am not totally disappointed in the Republican party in the last 7 years either. They were once the conservative party, but now I do not see much difference between them and the Democrats. If Libertarians had a snowball’s chance in hell of electing anyone, I would be right there with them. Maybe we need a new party, lets just call it the CommonSense party. Our platform would be built on conservative principles like smaller government only performing absolutely necessary government functions (like national defense, building roads, etc.). Stupid ideas like political correctness and affirmative action would be no longer supported. More freedom for individuals would be the norm. Implement the fair tax and watch our economy take off and destroy China’s. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/are-you-democrat-republican-or-southerner/190504)._
