The Facts about Our Two Parties

Many people believe there is no agreement between our two parties of government but they are wrong; below I have listed where they either agree or mostly agree. The 20 items show the position of the parties and mine.

	Issue	Democrats	Republican	Me
1.	Open Government	No	No	Yes
2.	Term Limits on Elected officials.	No	No	Yes
3.	Giving Foreign governments who hate us our money.	Yes	Yes	No
4.	Lying to get elected is OK	Yes	Yes	No
5.	Banning Ear Marks	No	No	Yes
6.	Making Government live within limits.	No	Mostly No	Yes

1.      I’m for completely open government with every department posting in Laymen’s Terms so any citizen can understand it exactly what they are spending their time, money and recourses. No area should be exempt except Classified or National Security Items but a list would need to be made to what these were or the politicians would put everything there.

2.      We have too many politicians who are making decisions for us in the real world who have never been in the real world; this need to end.  Setting term limits would virtually get rid of all career politicians, this would end most of the stagnant problems due to molded Politicians who have been living in a vacuum.  

3.      We should only help those who help us and need our help. Helping Arab nations who hate our guts and giving them money which will be used to harm our troops is stupid and irresponsible.

4.      When I hear politicians flat out lying about another politician who they are running against, it pisses me off. This is the ones we are suppose to respect and they can’t even tell the true about a subject. What are even worse are the personal attacks instead of debating the issues. I don’t care if you are gay, divorced, or had a DUI in the past; I only care about if you can do the job. Letting our people, including a diplomat get murdered in Benghazi, and then lying about it is when any true American Patriot should rise up and recall or impeach all elected officials involved.

5.      Ear Marks are the number 1 cause for our over spending. They are attachments to bills, usually previous bills that couldn’t pass on their own because they were wasteful, no one wanted, or just stupid. So what our politicians do is attach them to another bill like Defense Funding.  Here are some examples of earmarks in the Defense Bill:

Provides $65 million for Pacific Coast salmon restoration (why is this in the Defense Bill, it has nothing to do with defense.)

Provides $14.7 million for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (why is this in the Defense Bill, it has nothing to do with defense either.)

Provides $993,000 in grants to dig private wells for private property owners (why is this in the Defense Bill, it sounds good but this isn’t the place for it).  

Provides $10 million for the USDA High Energy Cost Grants (why is this in the Defense Bill, it isn’t for the military.)

Provides $5.9 million for USDA ‘Economic Impact Initiative’ grants, (why is USDA grants in the Defense Bill, it once again has nothing to do with defense.)

This is just a few; there were over 117 so I can’t put them all here.

6.      Our Congress loves to vote themselves pay raises higher then the rest of the federal government and during the Sequester have protected themselves so they do not loose a dime of their pay even though the caused this financial mess, but other federal employee will loose 20% of their pay; ironic.  

	Issue	Democrats	Republican	Me
7.	Civil Rights	Yes	Yes	Yes
8.	Women’s Equal Rights	Yes	Yes	Yes

7.      This one goes back to number 4. If you go back and look at the records from the 1960s you will find it was the mostly Republicans with a few Democrats who were for equal rights. Most Democrats like George Wallace, Bull Connor, and even LBJ if you look it up. The mostly Republicans were the ones who gave the women and minorities the break to be able to work equality to live the American Dream; today the Democrats want to give the minorities most anything but it’s not to help them; it’s to make them along with any others dependent so they will vote Democrat to keep receiving entitlements. These people will never be able to live the American Dream as long as they stay on the entitlements.

8.      It was pretty well covered in number 7.

	Issue	Democrats	Republican	Me
9.	For School vouchers for parents to choose their kids schools.	No	Yes	Yes
10.	For Voter ID	No	Yes	Yes
11.	Pro Union	Yes	Depends on area	Depends on Union

9.      The short of this story is and make no mistake about it; any politician against school vouchers does not care about your children, only the money the unions will give them to defeat vouchers. This comes strait out of the mouth of the biggest teacher’s union president.

10.  You have to have an ID to get cigarettes but you think it is a violation of your rights to show one for the most important thing we will do in our nation. It is kind of being a hypocrite with this double standard; you want to force everyone to show their IDs for cigarettes to ensure they are legal to buy them but no to vote to prevent voter’s fraud. Any politician against voter IDs is UN-American.

11.  You have good ones and you have bad ones like the teacher union from above. Not much more to say.

	Issue	Democrats	Republican	Me
12.	Government knows best for raising your children	Yes	No	No
13.	Getting your kids under 17 medical treatments without your consent.	Yes	No	No
14.	Support Our Military	Mostly No	Mostly Yes	100% Yes
15.	For securing our borders.	Mostly No	Mostly Yes	100% Yes

12.  You have the government telling us they know what is best for our kids; are we turning into a socialist state? If you have kids you are responsible for them, not the government. They now say they can give your child drugs, procedures, and indoctrination and it’s none of your business. This leftist socialistic agenda is only going to get worse. If you read or especially if you are of a religious belief, you had better quit voting these idiots into office because soon they will be telling you what you can and cannot read; what you can and cannot believe.

13.  Read 12, the government will soon be able to tell your child to get an abortion because it’s best and not even let you know. They are now starting it with the morning after pill which has been proven to not be safe and they can give to your child without you knowing. I don’t care if you are for or against abortion but it should be between your child; not the government.

14.   Supporting our military isn’t stabbing them in the back. Barrack Obama wants the military to pay their own medical bills when injured in combat. Many of the benefits people think the military has they really don’t anymore. They have been stripped over the years by both parties in our leadership.

15.  Is it going to take some jihadist coming across the border with a couple of kilos of anthrax or some other deadly agent, climbing to the top of a building and letting it go killing thousands of people before we secure the border? We need to secure the borders.

	Issue	Democrats	Republican	Me
16.	For gay marriage.	Yes	Depends on area	No But for gay unions
17.	For gun control on law abiding people	Yes	Mostly No	No
18.	For changing the Constitution.	Yes	Mostly No	No
19.	For defunding the military for social programs.	Yes	Partly No	No
20.	Bailing out the private sector.	Yes	Mostly Yes	No

16.  The lip service is gays and lesbians want the same legal status as heterosexual married couple. You need to start telling the truth about the “Gay Agenda”. I have worked around gay people all my life and it doesn’t matter to me if they are gay or strait but if you can do your job. Most people in the US would go for a Gay Union which gives all the same rights to a gay union couple as a heterosexual married couple but this isn’t what you want. The whole push is to destroy heterosexual marriage as some gay activist say with no problem.  This is a problem!

17.  Gun control only stops the law abiding citizen, not the criminal. Actually the facts show you are more likely to be attacked in a gun free zone because the criminals know they are safe; but the victims aren’t. The founding fathers wanted to have unfettered guns in the public hands to prevent a tyrannical government which is what we have currently.

18.  I’m tiered of hearing the constitution is out dated; if we paid closer attention to it we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in. People need to make it on their own; help them when they fall but don’t help them when they refuse to get back up.

19.  If you look at our history we have been steadily DE-funding our military and giving the money to leaches in our society that refuse to contribute to it. A nation who forgets its military is a nation who is soon forgotten.

20.  This is a capitalist society; we shouldn’t bail out any company big or small. If by bad management they go into the red, it’s their problem. Let them file for bankruptcy like every small company would have to do. All the government is doing is laundering money to get kickbacks in the form of political contributions.
