I usually don't comment on anything political since I am not a fan of politics. I hear enough about politics from husband, who talks of little else. I personally don't see much of a difference anymore between Democrats and Republicans. I certainly don't know if my belief is accurate at all, since I just don't pay any attention to politics.
If there are any true differences, outside of issues, I would love to hear them.
(I better say now that this is topic is not intended to attack or anything, it is meant to light hearted.)
Lightheartedly enough...I offer this set of defined differences:
conservative --
adjective
"1. resistant to change
2. having social or political views favoring conservatism
3. avoiding excess
4. unimaginatively conventional
5. conforming to the standards and conventions of the middle class
noun
1. a person who is reluctant to accept changes and new ideas"

2. having political or social views favoring reform and progress
3. tolerant of change; not bound by authoritarianism, orthodoxy, or tradition
4. given or giving freely
5. not literal

How's that? Any
differences you see?
Pssst.
I'm a "liberal", so you can't trust me, or anything I post, if you're a "conservative".
