Pros And Cons Of Political Parties
For the record, I believe that the GOP is just as corrupt as the DNC. Its a club, and in any good club you pay to play. The republican party has been bought and payed for, as well as the democratic party. Billions of dollars a year funnels through congress unchecked and unaccounted for. being a politician isn't about serving the public anymore, its about power. I say this because many people think I'm pushing a republican agenda. Morally my values line up with their values, but I will not make light of the fact that the GOP is the opposite side of the same coin. they are both blinded and fueled by power and money. I believe the reason Mr. trump is so hated by both parties is because He has not fallen victim to their pay to play method. He made

    Party funding has been a controversial subject. On the one hand limitations to party funding would mean that parties would be constricted and possibly unable to spread campaign messages, but without limitation there is a danger of corruption through the promise of donation for political favours. For example, before the 2010 election, accountancy firms donated money to the conservative party in the hopes that in return they would be able to establish government contracts. Tony Blair was also involved with a scandal which suggested that he had taken a £1 million donation in return of exempting Formula one form the ban on the advertisement of tobacco. Despite there being legislation created by parliament to prevent these activities there has still been incidents of foul play.…

    INTRODUCTION We live in an era of unprecedented frequency of change in partisan control of government. Since at least 1994, neither of the United States’ two main political parties can be said to have had a lock on control of the House, the Senate, or the presidency. Incredibly, the seven elections from 1998 to 2010 produced six different combinations of party control: a Democratic president with a Republican Congress (1998), a Republican president with a divided Congress (2000), a Republican president with a Republican Congress (2002, 2004), a Republican president with a Democratic Congress (2006), a Democratic president with a Democratic Congress (2008), and a Democratic president with a divided Congress (2010).

    American populace was partitioned to two groups. One group comprises of the federalists who were living in the north. Their advantage was in favor of the merchants, ship-owners, and the industrialist. They are currently known as the Democrat party. The North was experiencing a modern upset and Democratic Party was supportive of this change. The Second group comprises of the anti-federalists, who were living in the south and were in light of a legitimate concern for state and farmers right. They are presently known as the republican. History of the Americans demonstrates that the two political vested parties had/have their own particular thoughts. Those thoughts were planted to the most youthful era by the…

    It's no secret that the Republican party is now more well-known for their fear mongering and obstructionist tactics than legislating or having any real interest in governing. As many of you may remember, Republicans came under heavy criticism last year for trying to derail the Iran Nuclear Deal through a combination of dangerous propaganda. They attempted to poison public opinion and recklessly interfered with the negotiation process which could have had disastrous consequences. In an underhanded, some have even suggested treasonous move, 47 Republicans lead by Senator Tom Cotton and signed by GOP Presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Rand Paul had sent an open letter to Iran…

    The 2016 presidential election will take place this November and with it brings a sense of renewal for some, and dread for others. Elections generate lots of hype, particularly because having a new president in office is generally exciting due to the ‘new’ factor. The excitement varies from good to bad, and this pattern is pretty consistent with past elections. There are certain outliers, however. One of the more recent elections, the election of 2000, caused a massive controversy, predominantly due to the circumstances surrounding how popular votes and electoral votes were counted. The presidential candidates came down to Al Gore and George W. Bush. This election served as a reminder to many that having the popular vote does not necessarily…

    On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress of the United States signed the Declaration of Independence declaring America as a nation free from Great Britain’s rule. 200 years’ worth of political parties have joined together or broken apart to form the parties the United States has today: The Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The United States party system began in 1789 before George Washington was elected to presidency with the formation of the Federalist Party founded primarily by Alexander Hamilton. The name eventually changed to the Republican Party during the Era of Good Feelings. From here, there was a split in politics and the two party system emerged with the National Republican Party and the Democratic Republican Party. From there, the National Republican Party transformed into the Whig Party which opposed the Democratic Party, later known as the Democratic Republican Party. During the Civil War, the Whig Party split into the Cotton Whigs who favored slavery and the Conscience Whigs who opposed slavery. The Cotton Whigs went with the Democratic Party in 1828, which is the same…

    I do not specifically identify with democrat or republican. I think that both parties have some good things on their agenda and there are also things that I don’t agree with personally, that are on both the democratic and republican agenda. With that being said I would like to consider myself an Independent. I think it’s common for people of my age (19) to not fully commit to one party.…

    I totally agree with you that opposition parties can make a president's job difficult. The GOP and President Obama has had their fair share of battles during his years of presidency. Depending on which side you're on, it can be very tedious and stressful to make changes in a divided country. This can be a blessing or a curse because powers can be abused if the wrong officials have overall control of these decisions.…

    Although the parties cannot exert tight control over candidates, their ability to raise and spend money has a significant influence. Studies have shown that the Republican Party spends six times more money on their campaigns than the Democrat Party. Since ‘Citizens vs FEC’ got the law passed that as much money can be given or fundraised to a campaign in any amount, sponsors, interest groups, corporate fronts and lobbyists can all contribute to a campaign.…
