I am extremely biased.lol.I recognize the Republican party as the more logical,better one.But I think the best is Liberatarian.Because the Democrats wanna take our guns away, and the Republicans wanna cram corrupt Christianity down our throats, so w/ Liberatarian party, we keep our guns, AND have freedom of religion, which this country was founded for both of those freedoms.But I think Anarchy is really the best, because God didn't intend for us to be ruled by a government.We are supposed to live and govern our own actions, and do as we will and harm none.  |

It goes by many names, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, etc. but at the end of the day, the candidate most devoted to capitalism will generally win the election. ...

Hi TCQ, 100 IQ is intellegent. I think you may be confusing those on-line tests with the real thing...people go there and are told they have an IQ of 140 when in fact a few cute questions does not gage anywhere near the real tests. Those same people would be lucky to come out with a 98. Get rid of guns? *starts twitching*...gotta have my guns...life is nothing without serious target practice...*shudders thinking about gun withdrawels*....he he! Love,  |

My comment is more about the gun thing than the original post. Get rid of guns? NO WAY!!! Does any one truly believe a criminal gives a flying flip if it's legal to own one? If guns are taken away, the only ones that'll get hurt are the average citizen. You know the law abiding ones that can't afford body guards like some of these celebritys out there. Jetamio  |

Thinker teenagers can be very intelligent in politics. I started when I was 13 and have studied it ever since. When I was 18 I could debate politics against my political teacher and the entire class and win, so don't presume age equals intelligence. Now what Tessak is saying is true to some extent. On both sides of the political spectrum you can have either a lot of freedom or dictatorship. With so called left wing parties such as the democrats if it goes too far left your left with Communist Russia. On the right if you go too far you end up with Fascist Italy. I'm Canadian so I don't know as much as I would like about the U.S. political parties but from what I do know it is very possible that the Republicans are more freedom loving in some aspects than the Democrats.  |

@ H.H., in my experience, there is no real difference in the political parties. They trade off peripheral issues *gun control, civil rights, "pork"* while working behind the scenes to take freedom away from the people. ... An example of this is found in the immigration legislation requiring ALL "new" workers to register *via the employer* with the government. This same language was placed in several other bills *including Hillary's failed "health care" legislation, child support laws, and where else, I don't know* ... The bottom line, the bureaucrats are attempting to identify and track all Americans through a variety of "ruses" designed to appeal to "liberals" or "conservatives." ... And that is "real" world politics. The "government" is not our "friend" it is a monster that is devouring our liberties, just the same as governments *dictatorships* have always done. May peace and harmony be forever yours. /s/ J.T. |

Well done Tessek, yes the media and previous administration through their lies and skewed reporting have confused many and in particular younger people as to the real direction of the Democratic and Republican parties. And sadly many more "mature" folks are confused as well. As for me, and with your outlook and values you should check into it as well, the Libertarian Party and values make the most sense. Of course the media and both existing parties do their best to keep a lid on them. Major points in the libertarian platform. The ruling document for the government of the US should be the constitution and the bill of rights and these laws cover all citizens. Everything else (all other amendments such as equal rights-you allready have them-federal right of taxation etc. are not needed and should be obolished. In other words people know how to live and states can pass their own laws and if a person is not in agreement they can move to another state and still be an American.Taxes based on income are unconstitutional. Fair taxes based on spending and consumption make more sense. Or at the very least a flat percentage based tax with no brackets (everyone pays the same percentage)As a result of a fair and equal tax system the IRS could be abolished. States collect all taxes and forward the governments' share to them. Gun ownership remains a fundemental right as spelled out in the constitution. The US military should be used for national defense only or as requested by Allied nations. Many more issues but all based on idividual rights and RESPONSIBILITIES.  |

Contrary to popular myth, democracy is rooted neither in justice nor in the protection of individual rights, but is rooted in the principle of authorities with power to force the deemed "will" of the majority onto specific individuals. (The United States was not founded as a democracy, but as a republic that was a hybrid between democratic and free-choice, free market principles. Today, most of the remaining nonforce, free-choice elements of freedom in the United States are being replaced with Fascist or Socialistic elements of force.)
Tessek, Upon further reflection, I tend to agree with you, in that so many are politically confused. The blurring of the two parties, in that each one has such similar stands on many issues, plus, the FACT that each candidate will say he stands for anything that he knows will get the most votes, and make campaign promises that he knows very well will not be the case once he is in office. Someone wrote that he likens the two party system to that of a room with two doors, and it doesn't matter which door you choose to enter, cuz you will still wind up in the same room anyway. The candidate who has the best speech writers, the best spin doctors, the candidate who can best show poise and the best image, and look right into the eye of the camera and tell the best LIES, is the candidate who will win.

Politics are are all the same, every party has an agenda, and I haveb't seen one yet that really benefits anyone but the person holding current office. Taxes just get higher and higher. I pay more now for my home per month than my first house payment, not counting federal and state taxes. We have very little deductions and pay through the teeth in taxes for what we earn and for the home we own. I have little use for either party, or any.  |
