You know I sort of grew up thinking that Democrats had it all wrong and that they were evil. I have realized as of late that this was most likely a snap judgement. While Dems. seem to raise taxes and continually allow for the expanse of gay marriage and for abortion, there are several things that I do tend to agree with which that camp stands for.
1. Social justice. I do not necessarily feel the government should tell me where my charitable giving should go, but I am thankful for them wanting to help those who need it.
2. Environmental issues. Under the Bush administration our environmental policy and standards took a giant leap backwards. This is not about saving the pretty trees, it is about doing what is right so that resources will be available for the future. Also if you think about it if you do bad things to the environment (especially soil and water) it will more than likely effect human health (cancer HELLO!!). We humans are tied very closely to the world we live in, so even if you don't care about the environment or your fellow man you have to agree it is good to keep the environment healthy because it is the only way to keep you healthy.
