chapter 9

1. Which political party do you most identify with?  Why?  Are there things in the party platform with which you disagree?

I'm pretty neutral when it comes to political parties its really hard for me to say which I identify more with when I'm pretty much equally divided. I disagree with abortion, but I'm for increased military spending, I like the death pentalty, but also support gay marriage. It's just too tied to really say which one I agree or disagree with more.

2. Does America need political parties?  The founders originally hoped that American politics would operate without need of parties?  Would that work today?  Why?

I think America does need parties because without them how would we know who to vote for? plain and simple.

3. Please research lesser known political parties - which one do you most identify with?  Why?

I identify most with the green party because I am very environmentally aware and ,would like politics to focus more on how we can help our over all lifestyle as Americans in an environmental and social sense.
