1. A foreign policy of peace

Republican – Peace through war

Democrat – Peace through war


2. Emphasis on state's rights and people's rights and smaller federal government

Republican – We must attain a position where the individual governs him/herself – no big government. Government must not control the life of the individual, except for abortion, morality and a few other things that come to mind. However, republicans have done a great deal to increase the size of government over the last 36 years as an example. Say one thing – do another – be a politician. Speak to your audience – say what the audience wants to hear. If possible bring back slavery. It is good for the economy.

Democrat – Everyone should be free and government must help those that cannot help themselves.


3. Respect for the environment

Republican – Who cares? Get that oil and get it now!

Democrat – Do not eat animals or plants as they have feelings. Do not breath as this can consume oxygen and other gasses.

4. Free universal health care

Republican – Who needs it! Only those who can afford it should have medical care!

Democrat – Health care for all.

Specific ideas:

1. All federal laws that violate the Tenth Amendment should gradually be eliminated or amended to the Constitution.

Republican – We do not need a Constitution! The Constitution should be eliminated!

Democrat – There should only be federal law – law of the land!


2. Disband the electoral college through new Constitutional Amendment

Republican – Does not matter. Let the Supreme Court decide who should be President!

Democrat – The Electoral College is a means to avoid the large most populace states to control who will be president.

3. Constitutional Amendment that any new house or building must have solar panels on it

Republican – There will be no solar panels or any other type of energy generation other than oil! Coal may be acceptable. We cannot control the individual. Let people do whatever they like as long as we have an oil dependency.

Democrat – YES!

4. All laws relevant to corporations be re-evaluated with the people's interest in mind

Republican – The people should be reduced to slaves. Only the corporation has value to society.

Democrat – Down with corporations!

5. Laws that coerce the states to a certain policy, such as the legal drinking age, should be eliminated

Republican – We need such laws as this is a moral issue and we are a moral political entity!

Democrat – Booze for everyone regardless of age.

6. Eliminate federal drug laws except for socializing the manufacture and sale of pot for internal revenue

Republican – Just say no!

Democrat – We need drugs and not laws!

7. Lift FCC censorship of swear words and boobs on TV

Republican – No TV for anyone! It corrupts the moral fiber of our nation.

Democrat - Everyone will receive the Playboy channel for free!


I hope that I have offended everyone but will settle for a lesser amount. :)
