What i know about democratic parties is that they all have to vote in order to agree with something its the peoples choice a free election and that the power is given to the people.Republican parties is that they only let people that are chosen to vote or i guess call an order in an election party.

Great opinion and evidence, but you should really slow down and look at what you type before you submit it. Your writing needs some work.

The Republicans and the Democrats are political parties that are most often elected to govern in the United States. Sometimes their views are distinctly opposite and other times their governance is the same. Refer to their websites https://www.gop.com and http://www.democrats.org/ for more details.

My opinion on guns is that due to the nature of our country it is necessary for citizens to exercise their right to bear arms to preserve their protection, security and liberty from criminal citizens and criminal government. Furthermore I think the emerging drone technology will make this issue a major topic moving forward for both political parties and the Supreme Court.

Republicans think that people should be dependent of themselves and the the government should just ensure that they do. While democratic people think that the government should take care of everybody. Republicans think there should be no changed while democratic people doesn't mind change.

My opinion in abortion is that it should be the persons choice because there are some who get raped and want it but they aren't allowed. People might think it's wrong and all because you're "Killing" a baby but it hasn't even really developed. So my opinion is that abortion should be the decision that the person makes.

I agree with you Oscar that Republicans tend to help the rich more often, mainly since they like to keep things the same but the only problem with the old way is that the old way only helps the rich get richer and the poor become even more poor.

I know that the Republican party consist of wealthy people, who only want to look after themselves. While on the other hand Democrats want to help the people who are not financially doing okay. Both parties are competing to see who will be in charge of the government. Depending on how the people feel about either side determines who will lead the government. In my opinion I would vote for the Democratic party.

what i know about the democratic party is that it is a political party in the united states . the modern democratic party was found around 1828. the republican party is refered as gop . my opinion about these 2 groups is that people see them as one of the rich group and the other the poor group. this is how i feel about the partys myself.

Political Parties are groups of people that have similar ideas on how to run the government. The Republican party from what I know favors the rich and white majority. The Democratic party is supposed to favor the minorities and the lower class. I'm not really to familiar, politics are all the same. They favor those involved. I feel like the social service in this country is emphasized on, but it doesn't help much. Some people tend to take advantage of it. I believe that people have the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies. I believe there should be stricter gun laws. We can see that privately run health care providers are better taken care of, but not everyone can afford it. I believe everything just needs to be reformed and improved.

the republican parties and the democratic parties are often opposite. they think differently. the democrats are upper classes. the republicans have a strong belief to bear arms.

my opinion about taxes is that we get less money than what we worked for.

In my opinion abortion is horrible. No child should be denied the chance to live because they have a careless mother who doesn't want to take responsibility for her child. I hate the thought of abortion, because it could of been your mother that wanted to abort you. Baby's are all born innocent they have no control over their parents actions. If someone doesn't want to have a child do not have sexual intercourse.

Im just not that sure in what the Democratic party nor the Republican party is.
My personal opinion on Abortion shouldnt be accepted and the reason for is that women can be harsh just in knowing that they are willing to have an Abortion , not the way in killing a life that you created ,or just not wanting to take actions and responsibility for that baby.

I believe that both the Democratic and Republican parties are separating citizens away from each other and creating inequality. Instead of working together to make america come together and get along they're favoring either the poor or rich classes.

From what I know the Democratic party is an American political party which benefit the lower class. They believe the economy is to difficult for one to guide alone. The Republican party is a conservative political party in the US that represent the richest people in the country. They believe free market brought economic growth and changes to make this country significant. Both parties are represented as political parties .

My opinion on abortions is abortions should be depended on the persons situation . I believe it is not fair for the baby to be brought into a world where one is not financial stable . It is only fair for the baby to live a good life . I also believe it is depending on the persons choice because that person could have been raped . Then again if you don't want the baby you shouldn't have gotten yourself in that situation in the first place . Protection should come first .

My opinion about abortions is that am against it but everyone has there reasons to it. A child does not have to pay the consequences just because the mother does not want to have the baby. But I think that it shouldn't be something someone should vote for, because someone might have a reasonable reason to do it.

What I know about the Democratic and Republican party is that they are American parties that benefit different type of people. Democratic party benefits the low middle class people.They represent them to help them economically. Republican party benefits the higher rich class. They represent them to help them become richer.
I believe that abortion should not be allowed. I believe that abortion is unfair to the child because its not their fault their being raised in the women's stomach. women should think about what they are doing and take care of themselves. If women get raped and get pregnant and don't want the baby they should just give it in adoption because the baby should have the right to live.

What I know about the Republican Party is that most republicans want lower taxes and want the government spending less on social programs (medicare, food stamps, federal student loans, etc.)
While the Democratic Party believes the complete opposite of that.

My personal opinion about health care is that it should be available to everyone because not everyone can afford to pay off their medical bills.

Republicans will always want change, so that what is changed can benefit others. Democrats will only want changes or no changes that will benefit upper class, themselves.
Getting disposed of a infant in a way such as abortion, should be treated the same way as a murder

What I know about the Republican and Democratic parties is that they are the two main political parties in the United States; they also represent two different ideaology's on how the country should be run. The democrats are more for the people and they support the middle and lower classes. The Republicans are all about making money and keeping it, they support the upper class the most.

I believe that they should increases taxes for the rich, abortion not cool, guns keep them, so that we are able to defend oursleves, and healthcare should be free.

I know that the Democratic party and Republican party both have different beliefs. For example, the democratic party believes in higher tax rate if the income is higher. The Republican party believes in same tax rate for everyone no matter what their income is.

There should be less taxes for the poor and more taxes for the rich. The rich obviously have more money to pay those taxes but if the low income people get taxed with a lot they won't be able to pay.

Abortion should not be allowed because it is murder. At least give the child in adoption.

People should be allowed to have guns only if their criminal record is clean. Giving a murderer a weapon would only encourage him to keep doing it.

Healthcare should be provided to EVERYONE equally and free. Not many can afford healthcare.
