Democrats vs. Republicans

I am a democrat, the reason I am is very simple. I'm broke as hell. That's it, simple, easy peasy. My moral views also coincide with being a liberal also but being broke really seals the deal. If I were rich I would be a republican, it's as simple as that. It's selfish but I am selfish. I will say though that I will never be apart of republican morality that thinks it has the right prevent gay marriage, abortion, and ban pornography. I don't understand how a political party can be against big government in the important matters of economy but for big government in moral issues which are always subjective. If you're for small government, that should be it. The whole thing with neo-cons seems awfully hypocritical. At least with democrats they believe in big government in regards to big business, or at least pretend.

I take politics seriously but I get irritated with people who basically copy and paste a fox news broadcast as their political view. My line of political thinking is a mix of both parties (social issues very liberal though). But the whole typical democrat and typical republican thing only exists on cable news. That much I've figured out, when the whole Stephen Fowler thing happen on wife swap conservative pointed him out as the "typical" liberal horrible person. Likewise we point to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity as the "typical" conservative horrible person. This stuff is all really divisive and intentional to make us feel this way. Anyone who doesn't see that and really sees Stephen Fowler as the "typical" liberal or rush as the "typical" conservative need to get out and meet some actual people. The only people that act this way are people that watch too much cable news so if that's any indication that this whole party system is distraction for the public then I don't know what. So please believe in what you believe and stop making accusations of other parties, I'm guilty of making fun of republicans a lot myself and I feel bad for that, but believing in creationism is ridiculous.
