Democrats:
~ More open to change than most Republicans.
~ Believe in the right to individual privacy.
~ Are in favor of higher minimum wage in order to assist the working poor.
~ Are opposed to tax cuts.
~ Want to provide low-cost for publicly funded college education with low tuition fees and increase the availability of grants and scholarships.
~ Favor gun control measures.
~ Believe that we are responsible for the environment.

Republicans:
~ Have a more conservative ideology than most Democrats due to their dictation to the Bible.
~ Are mainly for capital punishment because of "an eye for an eye" from the Bible.
~ Support the private enterprise system.
~ Strongly support the role of the military
~ Believe in lower taxes.
~ Believe that the nations strength comes from the individuals.
~ Feel that laws that refer to the environment aren't necessary.
~ Are mostly opposed to stem cell research.

I see myself as neutral because agree I agree with certain points of both parties. I'm on the fence about both parties because not everyone in each party believes entirely in what is generally associated with their. So I can't say that I can totally rely on one party more than the other. On some things I am for and others against but they are still on opposite sides so I"m impartial between both the Democratic and Republican party.
