Both Parties: What do you dislike about your own party the most?

Question

I will go first.

I am a democrat but I am really not crazy about the democrats supporting unions.

What is your dislike, and please be mature.

Answer 1

I dislike the global warming bit. I am Dem.

I think it's natural,and we need to drop it.

Answer 2

Locked up Bert,

I am a democrat, and the thing that I dislike about our party, and the liberals associated with it, is that we value our right to free speech but when it comes to listening to someone who does not agree with our stance on issues, we feel they do not have the right to speak. I reference events like listening to the head of the Minutemen, Republican speakers  on campus, and so on. If we do not have the intelligence to sort through facts, and listen to an opposing viewpoint, or speak intelligently when rebutting propaganda (instead of shouting over someone), then our party will continue to be associated with anarchists and left wing extremists. I am a veteran who witnessed our mistakes in Vietnam, and our current mistakes in Iraq. I fought for freedom of speech, and value that right. We will solve no problem as long as our country remain polarized.

Answer 3

Sometimes we the the tendency to think we are ALWAYS right.

Answer 4

Conservative, would like for GOP to protect the environment like Teddy Roosevelt had done before.  Black hole of Gitmo and corruption.

I hate the identity politics played by the left, unions, weak on terror, misinterpretation of the Constitution "living document" garbage why need amendments since it is a living document hmmmm, affirmative action, anti guns and I hate both parties for not balancing the budget.

Answer 5

Republicans could be more environmentally aware i think

Answer 6

Democrat... and I dislike the fact that we took over congress. We should of let Bush destroy the country on his own.

Answer 7

Im a democrat and i don't like the members of my party that are looking for government hand outs

Good question

Answer 8

I hate what they call "faith based" freebies. This is in both parties

Is it not bad enough church's are tax exempt, they are the biggest money makers in this country...must we give them freebies to?

I think they should have to pay taxes like everyone else...could wipe out the debt in 4 years and see nothing but surplus from then on if we would.

Answer 9

I'm a Dem and disagree with many elements of the party on the value of free trade.

Answer 10

I dislike the proposed "Constitutional Amendment to ban g*y Marriage."  I think it should be a state issue.  

Answer 11

Honestly, I don't like the way some of my fellow party members are representing the dems... especially during the RNC. I don't think that fairly represents all of us, especially when we preach "tolerance."
