Since I'm neither one maybe I can answer your question in a more
real world kinda way.
Talking and doing are two different things, ok?
Democrats talk and do what's popular with the public which of course
is a lot of wishful thinking. "wish/hope/prey in one hand and ****
in the other and see which one fills up first" -Mom ...so of course
it doesn't work.
Repulicans talk cutting government spending (firing bureaucrats) but
never do. R's talk fiscal responsibility but never do. R's talk
increasing production by getting gov't off the backs of the -real-
producers like mining, manufacturing and agriculture but never do.
R's sound more reliegious and D sound more the other way.
D's tend to be more socialist since that's what's popular and more
"idealistic" and just plain sounds better to the city dweller.
R's have a big problem with, a bunch of them really are D's, but
too friggin religious to be D's which is more "communist or red"
sometimes refered to as pink.
D's tend to be on the homos side etc but only because they can be
exploited by appearing to "protect" them from the R's.
(like it friggin matters to anyone except a religious zealot)
D's are more for women and the weak since they sell gov't spending
by talking more about "helping, nurturing and wet nursing" which of
course mostly just helps the bureaucrats with more make-work
projects that don't do any of those things.
R's talk like they are against that!
But are crooked in that they do the same friggin thing. They
tend to help military and policing bureaucrats more than the
other bureaucrats tho.
D's are more "honest loving caring" but are selling you ****.
The R's are liars since they -talk- a better plan but don't intend
to follow up. They know they can't for one! The gov't is a giant
steam roller and we, all together, are nothing but a pile of ants.
And they know it, so they change directions and get what they can
out of it. Crooked.
Alan Greenspan is a libertarian/Cato-man and -the- best guy we could
possibly hope for in that position. He is why we haven't collapsed
economically and taken everyone else with us. But still no one is
-able- to do what he says to do because of the size and momentum of
the steamroller. But he has been able to curtail a few things that
would have been a disaster. One example comes to mind that oughta
stirthe****... he doesn't reccomend an across the board tax cut.
Beacuse gov't spending won't be cut at the same time and just make a
bigger mess. "We can't spend our way to prosarity" -Alan Greenspan
"...however we can produce our way to prosperity" -Alan Greespan
"cut capitol gains tax and take some of the burden off of the -real-
producers and we'll produce our way to prosperity" -AG ...sorta!
It's just really a matter of getting the gov't workers to quit doing
what they are doing and switch to producing wealth. For every
worker in production they have like one bureaucrat and two private
service providers and one gov't contract worker on their back.
Pretty tough to function with all that huh? Pretty easy to
understand why the US economy is in a slump and not going to pull
out anytime soon, when you picture the miners, assembly line
workers/egineers and farmers trying to do their work with all those
on their back asking for a piece of their product for -free-.

ps- for libertarians the D's and R's are about the same thing in
the end, but in the meantime sound different, 1 party suystem
pps- fellow libertarians... what did I leave out?
