No flames please, but I have an honest question.
On many occasions I’ve heard, you’re a Single mom, how can you be a Republican. Can you explain that to me?
You’ve heard my reasons, even if they are based on experience, I still feel strongly about them. Can I be given facts, in ‘Selena’s’ terms, so I can honestly understand the difference?
I do not want to fight, or debate over which is better. I simply want to hear both sides so I can make a decision based on facts, instead of my emotions, and experience.
Half my family is Democrats, and the other half is Republican, however it was never discussed. That was a hot issue in my household, so it was kept quiet. Perhaps that is why I don’t have much knowledge of the subject.
Here is how I understand both sides
Republicans---
Believe in Gun control, Death penalty, and fewer taxes.
Don’t believe in Abortions and Gay marriages.
Democrats---
Believe in Abortions, More taxes, allowing people to leech off the system.
Don’t believe in Death Penalty, and gun control.
Only thing I don’t agree with the Republicans, is the Gay marriage issue. I don’t feel we should restrict that. However that is another topic for another thread.
So, please enlighten me, educate me, and help me.
Yes, I could look it up myself, and I have; but it only succeeded in confusing me more.
