LIBERAL DEMOCRATS v. CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS

There's a HUGE Difference

Throughout the 20th century, Liberal Democrats were in control of the legislative process in Florida and in Washington, D.C. However, with Republicans now leading the way, we are returning to the policies that made America great. The differences in the way we're governed reflect the core differences between the two parties.

CRIME
REPUBLICANS BELIEVE that the needs of the communities and law-abiding citizens must take priority over those of criminals.
Liberal Democrats have an extremist record of placing the rights of criminals above all, including freeing violent criminals on legal technicalities.

NATIONAL DEFENSE
REPUBLICANS BELIEVE that the only way to live free from foreign aggression is to maintain peace through strength.
Liberal Democrats would utilateraly disarm. They impose their agenda by continually voting to divert defense funds to expand social programs.

EDUCATION
REPUBLICANS BELIEVE that students must be challenged to learn in a school environment that is safe for students and teachers. Parents must be offered more opportunities and options and the massive bureaucracy must be reduced.
Liberal Democrats have imposed discredited social experiments upon our schools, dumbing down the curriculum. Together with left-wing union bosses, they fight attempts to reduce the bloated education bureaucracy.

TAXES
REPUBLICANS BELIEVE that Americans should keep more of what they earn through lower taxes and that tax policy should not suppress incentive by penalizing success.
Liberal Democrats relentlessly use propaganda to promote the failed premise that America can tax its way to prosperity. They wage class warfare against successful Americans through regressive taxes.

SPENDING
REPUBLICANS have long believed that government should not spend more than it takes in and have consistently fought for a balanced budget.
Liberal Democrats have a sad history of spending taxpayers' money to expand government bureaucracy and fighting against a balanced budget.

MEDICARE/SOCIAL SECURITY
REPUBLICANS BELIEVE that the senior's safety net must be preserved for today's beneficiaries and for the millions who will need it tomorrow.
Liberal Democrats shamelessly scare and frighten our seniors, acting as if nothing needs to be done, offering no solutions to a true problem.

GOD
REPUBLICANS BELIEVE, as the founding fathers before us, that God was a major factor in the creation of this nation and that efforts to remove Him from society altogether must be reversed.
Liberal Democrats are aligned with extreme left-wing elements that God should be totally excluded from public utterances.

"SPENDING

You may want to reconsider this one since the current crop of repubs are spending like drunken sailors with no regard for deficits. I seem to recall a lot of talk recently by repubs that 'deficits don't matter'. There was a time when repubs wanted & demanded balanced budgets (even a Constitutional ammendment to insure them), but that was before they gained the majority.
