How can you tell which political party you belong to -?

Answer 1

Steps to figure out your party:

• Decide how you feel about taxes. Republicans generally support lower taxes across the board, which means they tend to favor lower spending on most government programs. Republicans also tend to favor deregulation, and policies that are considered pro-business, so they would try to lower the taxes of businesses and corporations. Democrats believe that the wealthiest and the biggest corporations should pay their fair share, and it is okay to ask them to pay higher taxes. Democrats tend to believe in spending more money on social programs and on helping the poor.

• Judge your dedication to individual and property rights. The Republican Party honors these rights and promotes the shifting of power to local communities and away from centralized government. But when it comes to social issues, Republicans believe it is okay to have the government decide whether a woman can have an abortion (and some candidates even opposes contraception) or whether gay people can get married. Democrats tend to be pro-choice and in favor of people making their own decisions about social issues such as abortion or Birth Control. And Democrats also believe the federal government does have a duty to help its citizens; many Republicans do not agree.
• Assess your feelings about gun control. The Republican Party opposes strong gun control legislation and supports the individual's right to bear arms. Democrats are divided on this issue: some Democrats are gun owners, some believe in gun control. Most Democrats share the view that we do need to tighten some of the laws to make it more difficult for criminals to own guns.

• Decide your position on crime. Republicans generally push for strong enforcement and tough laws against drug traffic and juvenile crime. And Democrats tend to support a more moderate position, including allowing the use of medical marijuana.

• Take a stand on defense. The Republican Party promotes a strong national defense. The Democrats do as well. But Republicans historically have tended to be more "hawkish" about wars and about preemptive invasions, such as the War in Iraq.

• Consider your feelings about abortion. The Republican platform is pro-life, while Democrats tend to support a pro-choice position.

• Get on the Republican Web sites and read the platform. If you find that you agree with the party's stand on most issues, you are probably a Republican. If you find you agree with the Democrats, then you are a Democrat. But you may find you see the good in certain positions form each party, in which case you might be an Independent and vote for whichever candidate you feel will do the best overall job.
