What do the political parties claim to value? If you value traditional family values and ______ vote Republican because they support constitutional ammendments on gay marriages and the definition of human life, faith-based welfare grants, student inititated prayer in school, ethical research regarding health care, death penalty and harsher punishments, and the destruction of all terrorism. If you value oppurtunity, fairness, and investing in people you should vote Democrat because they support a mother's right to choose regardless of financial ability, ethical embryonic stem cell research to reduce suffering, making allies rather than enemies, preventing terrorism by education and cutting off funds, no gay marriage ban. Changing tax system to discourage jobs going overseas, gain energy independence and cut debt in half. raising minimum wage, cutting taxes for middle class not wealthy and expanding health care cost and coverage to help bring everyone back on an even playing field Help find words to describe their values by what they support according to the 2004 platforms. Thanks- I have to make an argument kind of set up in this way and cast it. Doc if you read my question than you should know that clearly I AM WELL AWARE OF WHAT BOTH OF THE POLITICAL PARTY PLATFORMS SAY. I can add my impartial summaries of both if you would like. gee, I wish if people were going to give people thumbs down they would answer...I just need help with wording...please,please,please answer. I thought I did a good job not showing my beliefs, oh well anyway thanks for the advice #2 I just was writing what they said-I'm not sure the Republicans really talked about fuel in theirs and the dems say to reduce suffering or something to that degree, I actually just added that in for this question. Thank you for not just trashing a party or another- To anybody who wants to- that is not the kind of thing that will change anyone's mind I suppose unless they are completely uneducated about the candidates and are just voting in this election because they want to make history-idiots- anyway let me rephrase this WHAT WORDS SUM UP THE BELIEFS I HAVE PRESENTED FOR EACH OF THE POLITICAL PARTY PLATFORMS. such as I wrote 'family values' on the republicans to sum up the gay marriage ban, abortion ban, prayer in school etc..
