Historically, Republicans have supported State's rights, low regulations on economic ventures, a strong military, fiscal responsibility and conservative social initiatives.
Democrats have traditionally supported consolidation of political power on the federal level, economic regulation, international diplomacy, and liberal social initiatives (think equal rights and keeping government out of personal lives).
Currently, it looks more like this:
Republican Party:
Winning the war on terror
Ushering in an ownership era
Building an innovative, globally competitive economy
Strengthening communities
Protecting families from socially liberal agendas.
Democratic party:
Improving national security
Improving international diplomacy
Modernizing the military
Strengthening the economy
Improving public education
Protecting social security
Providing affordable health care
Ensuring honesty in government
Reforming the election process
Protecting the environment
Ensuring justice and civil liberties
I have my chin out, go ahead and take a swing...
