Yes surprisingly I am from the south, I am in my last semester (hopefully) of college and I am going to see if I can try to get into grad school.

In my opinion you can't make a good choice if you don't know both sides of the argument.

Rags to riches is not just democratic it's "The American Dream" and republicans believe it too. I used to consider myself a Republican until W ruined the party (but that's another story for another day).

The Republican dream is working your way up, by yourself and making a better life for yourself and your family.

Whereas Democrats want people to help one another until they are on their feet and then the person takes off the training wheels and does for themselves.

You can ALWAYS find an excuse of why we should do one or the other, either a person is lazy on welfare or working too hard without welfare.
