Words like that are propagandist and confusing, because I could apply them to anything I believe in. To an anarchist, if she did her research, she would find that anarchism is "more down to earth and steadfast" than anything else.

A true, non-propagandist statement would say something about the actual beliefs of the republican party, such as "If you do your research, I'm sure you will find that Republicans support lower taxes than Democrats," instead of attatching a vaguely positive label to them such as "down to earth." That is why "conservative" as you used it did not sound propagnadist, because it actually has a measurable truth value.

Oh, and the above statement you asked about is clearly biased and doesn't give any actual reasons for voting democrat.
