MY TURN: Democrat and Republican differences

by RON BOOTHE/Guest Opinion
| June 20, 2025 1:00 AM

I’m disgusted at the Republican individuals who constantly demonstrate their inability to distinguish between the word “ALL” and "SOME," or the word “FREE” and “INEXPENSIVE.” Time and again some Republican will say the Democrats will give us socialism, take away all our guns, repeal the Second Amendment, expect free everything, raise taxes of the middle class and poor, put regulations on every living activity in which our country is involved and kill millions of babies through unlimited abortion. In short, make life not worth living.

To clarify these differences, Democrats believe in: “some” social services for the lower income and higher income folks such as farmers. They believe in “some” regulations on guns, “some” inexpensive or free services or products for those in need, “inexpensive” education and other services, “some” higher taxes on higher incomes, “some” pro-choices for women. On the subject of regulations, Republicans seem to prefer NO rather than SOME regulations, except in the matter of women’s rights, where they want TOTAL REGULATION of women’s reproductive rights.
