| Sorry Matt, I thought he didn't want any "Democrats" to respond on this thread.
One party's failings brought another into power, so it's tough to not mention both in an explanation as to how Republicans have been more successful and what about them by far more in common with mainstream America today.
Since I'm already here to apologize to Matt, I guess I'll add a bit more.
People who vote IMO tend to vote their wallets, national security and sometimes their principles. I think the Republicans fit that definition in America more than other parties right now.
Republicans want the government to do more with fewer taxes.
They want safety nets for people, but for the capable ones we want those nets to be temporary.
We really want all people to do well, and whereas other parties NEED minorities, we WANT them in our party and we can make sure that another 50 years won't go by without results for them.
All people want to see the best for the generations that follow them, and we'd like to see more minorities finding that dream a reality.
I'm not too hung up about any list people want to put up for their groups at all. At best, those types of things would be the "ideals and goals" they would like to achieve and what they strive for. I don't think you can ever start a check list and say this and that goal has been met. We're always trying to get to that point though.
