Short Version. Why I am a Democrat and NOT a Republican.

(I had a longer more complicated version, but I am opting for brevity.)

I think when it is all said and done Democrats care more about PEOPLE and Republicans care more about IDEOLOGY. And do not mistake me, as I said ideology, I did not mean ideas. Ideas are actually the anthesis of ideology, as ideology is characterized by words, absent the gravity, and anchor of thinking behind the words.

That is why I am a Democrat.

I care more about people and what matters to them in their lives, than ideology.
