In November, The United States will have another Presidential election. The Democratic candidate is current President Barack Obama, and the Republican candidate is Senator Mitt Romney. As for me, I dont have a preference of which political party ends up in charge in the end. All I care about is who will do more for the country and get more positive things done. My dad on the other hand is a conservative Republican, so I was raised to understand that most of the things that the Republicans believed was "right". I've had to look at many political points for my AP US History class and realized that actually I agree and disagree with points from both parties. Five of these points are the preservation and protection of traditional marriage (Republican - disagree), Repealing Obamacare (Republican - agree), Improving Prescription Quality/Lowering Cost (Republican - agree) Pro-Abortion (Democrat - disagree), and Obama's Tax Cuts (Democrat - disagree).
- Republicans believe that marriage must be kept between a man and a woman. I believe that marriage should be allowed between any two people that truly love eachother.
- Republicans are strongly against Obamacare. From the start, it was more about power and expanding government control over the economy then it was about United States citizen's healthcare. If Romney does win in November, I will be looking forward to seeing Obamacare repealed.
- Republicans plan to improve the quality of prescriptions and still lower their costs. Their goal is to encourage the development of a healthcare system that provides higher quality care at a lower cost to all Americans while protecting the patient-physician relationship based on mutual trust, informed consent, and privileged patient confidentiality. I believe that if this plan works, healthcare will be greatly improved.
- Democrats believe in Pro-Abortion. They believe that, because it's the womans body, it's her choice whether or not she wants to keep the child. Now am I saying that the woman carrying a baby should have absolutly NO say in the matter? No, but I am saying that ending that child's life before it even has a chance is wrong. I understand that with a pregnancy comes imense pressure and worry, but killing the baby is NOT the answer. At the very least, if you for certain do not want the child or cannot afford to pay for it, put the child up for adoption so someone else can.
- Obama wants to cut taxes for the middle class in order to give money to "those who need it most." The simple fact is that EVERYONE needs money right now, and if you are going to cut taxes for one group of people, taxes should be cut for everyone else as well.
