The difference between us and them is actually quite simple.

[bearfan454]

We are people that think for ourselves. They do whatever they are told to do. Think about it. Democrats decide for themselves about most issues. Repukes don't think. They just do what they are told to do and support whatever fox or cnn tells them to.

Any other differences you can think of ?

[Iverson]

1. They make sweeping generalizations. We don't.

You mean something like that?

[LARED]

2. LOL n/t

[Mairead]

3. Sweeping, INCORRECT generalisations to boot

[Northwind]

4. Funny...

A lot of them say the exact same thing about us.

Your statement makes it very clear that you do not belong in my particular batch of "us."

[bearfan454]

8. Perhaps I don't

There are several different batches of us here on DU. I vote for what helps the working people and not the corporations. To me voting Democratic helps the country. I vote Dem, always have, and always will.

5. We are right

and they are wrong.

Although actually, we are left and they are right.

6. Another generalization I've heard:

Conservatives are motivated by anger, liberals by guilt. I used to think that was true till I came to DU.

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. We seek the truth

For them the ends justify the means.

9. Differences

The goal of conservatives is to justify selfishness. This way they can keep what they have and take what they can. Liberals are much more concerned with those that have little or nothing. Liberals feel all should share in the wealth of the country.

[bearfan454]

10. Darn right we should.

We actually pay taxes, not like some of these corporations that don't pay any taxes at all.

11. heh - i used to think

repooks = conservatives , dems = liberals.

a couple of months at DU disabused me of that notion! :)
