I'd hate to paint with a broad brush, but many Democrats don't feel that we have a crisis in entitlements, and Republicans do.
My entire family were Democrats all our lives. But because how furious I was about the previous administration, I turned in my card to become a Republican. I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime.
Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith.

My goodness, the Democrats have just become the party of punishment, and they are carrying that to the extreme when it comes to health care.
California is going to be quite good for the Democrats. But the rest of the country is a draw.
I guess the news is this: If you're a Republican and you smile, liberals don't like it. Maybe that's because Democrats are afraid that I've been able to show an optimistic vision for this country.
The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media.

I'm not cool with ACORN or the working families' party, or people that vote like democrats and run on Republican lines.
Welfare reform happened with reconciliation; half the Democrats voted for it. The Bush tax cuts happened with reconciliation; twelve Democratic Senators voted for it. You didn't have a real partisan issue on those times that it was used.
Obama's plan for higher taxes and more spending is a blueprint for perpetual poverty. The last thing America needs is more of the Democrats' class warfare that has left our economy a barren landscape.

Unfair trade agreements, passed by both Republicans and Democrats, have sent millions of jobs to other countries. We need to stop this hemorrhaging and find ways for American workers to compete in the new market.
