Policy issues

National defense is very important to me, because we need to keep our country and its people safe from enemies both foreign and domestic. Environmrnt is also very important, because we need to preserve our planet for generations to come. If there was no candidate that agreed with my beliefs, then I would still choose the republican most likely.

Two party system

I think that the two party system is an effective way to elect candidates, because usually the two big party nominees are usually the best to be able to run the country.
I think that voting for a third party is not throwing your vote away, because if you really believe that this candidate is better than the rest, than you should be able to choose.

Political Ideology

When I hear the word Democrat, I think of a political party of which has many different views depending on the politician, but they are all somewhat have more liberal views than the conservative republicans. I also know that Democrats like to stretch what the constitution says, and Republicans like to stick to the exact words of the constitution. I know that the Republicans focus more around businesses and likes to cut taxes, and Democrats like to focus on other parts of America, and likes to propose bills that can sometimes raise taxes for example President Obama's healthcare reform bill. I favor more towards the Republicans, because I think we should stick to the rules given to us, however I think we can also change the constitution as well only because a document made three hundred years ago doesn't have everything stated that we have in the modern world, so we can only tweak it in those cases specifically. I like how Republicans focus on taxing the most wealthy, and not so much on the empoverished part of our society, because I think that will help poor people for the long term.
