If you voted solely on economic issues....

[Boris]

Probably Republicans as the Democrat party now is too out of hand, I wish we could go back to the old days

DWTL, do you know what a Blue Dog is? They're left-wing economically and conservative socially. The only reason that they are Democrats is because of economic issues.

[Colin]

Republican with a smattering of Libertarians and Democrats.

[??????????]

Libertarian

[MaC]

Libertarian, obviously.

Republicans-too liberal
Democrats-kinda socialist
Greens-too socialist

[Platypus]

I voted Republican. In the US, it'd actually be the Democrats, but in Australia, the Liberals, so to reflect that I thought the best vote to make would be the Republicans.

[phk]

I'd vote for the Pro-Business DLC-Democrats.

[CPT MikeyMike]

Whoever can balance the buget and cut taxes across the board!

Sadly neither the Republicans and Democrats can do that!

[jokerman]

Democrat, obviously.

[AkSaber]

Libertarian

[Yates]

Democratic Party.

[minionofmidas]

Obviously not the Democrats (or the Republicans or Libertarians, either.)

Note: if I voted solely on economic issues, that means I wouldn't vote on tactical considerations either...

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Democratic 

[Nym90]

I do vote almost soley on them, and I'm a Democrat.

[tarheel-leftist85]

Democrat; though i'm from a well-off family, something tells me that others aren't and that's no reason they should live miserably.

[Ban my account ffs!]

I said Green:

Corporations really turn me off.  And I'm not kidding.  Just thinking of the fake 'feel-good while we screw you' atmosphere of coporations is a major buzz-kill in any situation.  Or maybe I've just read too much Barbara Ehrenreich.

While I tend to trust the individual, it's always the few that get greedy and fanaggle money out of people like me who trust others.

I think we need to work very hard to develop an environmentally sustainable economy.  Whether you think peak oil will come in a few hours or in 2050, I'll likely still be alive at either time and I don't want to be put on the short end of the stick so the baby-boomers (my parents) can sit on the beach while sipping oil straight from the barrel.

I am an economic-liberal.  If I thought the greens could actually win, I'd vote for them.

[Alexander Hamilton]

Probably Constitution Party or Libertarian Party

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Libertarian Party easily.

[Scam of God]

1. Green
2. Libertarian
3. Democratic
...

?. Republican

[Sewer]

Democrat or green

[Scam of God]

Both Parties as presently arranged are great centralizers of power: the Democrats are right for wanting to champion the needs of the working class, but their methods are completely wrong in achieving it; the Republicans should be applauded when they do move against political centralization, but too often it's in the name of corporate, economic centralization.

Some Democrats do. Let's not forget the DLC types or the record amounts of money the financial sector poured into Obama's campaign...

Point taken. Nevertheless, I think the pro-business Democrats are better at putting a pro-business philosophy into practice than are pro-business Republicans. I can't think of a single Republican that could have replicated the successes of the 1990s.

The Congress that oversaw it?

Not hardly. They largely opposed the DLC programmes that made the 1990s the economic juggernaut it was - Clinton's massive expansion of the EITC, for instance. Gingrich openly campaigned against it in his Contract on America, and - behold! - that decade saw the highest period of growth for the lowest tax percentile since the 1950s.

I am very tired of this old canard. Clinton was always the DLC's man.

The '90s were not a product of any particular policy but rather than technological revolution that was taking place, the rise of computers and the Internet, mass communications, etc.

Let's not forget that the bubble burst relatively quickly.
