Independent View

The way it looks to me:

Republicans use religion as a guide.
                     define morality based on religion.
                     want to limit women's reproductive rights.
                     back school vouchers.
                     favor management over unions.
                     propose big cuts in government spending.
                     support increase in military spending.
                     want to retain tax breaks for the wealthy.
                     prefer private health insurance.
                     expect the poor to pull themselves up buy their own bootstraps.

Democrats believe religion is a private matter.
                  define morality based on the common good.
                  protect women's reproductive rights and gay rights.
                  want to provide good public education.
                  favor balance between unions and management.
                  want to reduce the deficit.
                  favor decrease in military spending and plan to bring the troops home.
                  believe in fair taxation.
                  want everyone to have access to health care and insurance.
                  feel responsible to help the poor pull themselves up.
