Surveys 1. What conclusions can you draw about Republicans and Democrats? Republican Party I can see that the Republicans tend to favor competition. I agree with these ideas and I feel like I understand their demands and wants. The Republicans’’ idea about competition being the main factor that increases and improves the nation’s economy are the main political goals of this party. The Republicans think that distributing wealth is bad for the economy and unfair for the high class. The Republicans also believe that the congress should focus on improving more on the urban side, and also find better solution in dealing with the oil and natural resource issues. These issues are the main and the most crucial problem the U.S. and the whole world have today. It might seem domestic, but it is international in the long term effect. These are the conclusions I made for the Republican Party. Democratic Party I concluded that the Democratic Party favored international relations and interactions. They tend to be radical, in terms of changing old or the conservative political ideas. They tend to stick to a more global and internationally open economy and politics. They favor strong equal rights, and have wealth distribution system.  2. I was surprised that David was already expecting the Republican Party to lose the election of 2008. Even though the Republican Party had problems that were giving advantages to the Democratic Party, I expected David to have some sort of hope for his party. It was also surprising that Obama’s political ideas had socialist parts into it, according to David. I also was surprised and found funny that David would write about President Bush’s lack of intelligence and his cowboy attitude. This was just unexpected to be written in survey that was meant to support Republican.  3. David fits with the Republican Party because he is for the conservatism, and consistency of low tax. He strong believes that the country should strongly improve their national defense, and keep a strong criminal punishing system. He goes for domestic advancement for the international and global issues. He doesn’t seem to be a Republican in terms of being unbiased or neutral about having personal weapons or guns. He also supports changing the oil based economy into solar energy economy. In terms like this, he is radical and innovative, rather than conservative.  Peter seems to be very Democratic. He is for the improvements of global and international issues. He believes in order to government American properly, the congress has to have a realistic world view. He believes in developing statecraft and foreign relationship. He considers the financial, climate, pollution, natural resource issues to be more crucial for the American future. In a way he does not fit in the Democratic Party by being not passionate and stereotypical and biased about the Democratic demands. He also does not have a stance for abortion and private weapon rights.

Roe v. Wade 1. The supreme court states that the abortion is illegal, unless the mother's life is in jeopardy. 2. Privacy is the fundamental way of life. The government does not have the right to know the private lives of married couples.

cartoon 1. The cartoon shows an image of a fat women going against the idea that women should be sent to the military, but going for the abortion rights. The women looks fat. She is supporting women's right for abortion. The sign the fat women is holding says that the women should not be sent to the army, and that there is no point of battling the Iraqees. The other sign says pro for the abortion. 2. The image of the baby is the symbol which represents abortion. There is the word "enemy" written above the picture of the baby, which shows that the women are willing to kill the lives of the baby, or the fetus. 3. The fat women is saying that women should not be drafted to the war. She is saying that it is senseless to kill innocent iraq people, but that it's okay to kill the lives of unborn fetuses. 4. The cartoon's message is that if women are to have the ERA passed, they are both to be drafted to the army, but also given the right to have abortion. This shows women's thoughts about not wanting to be i the army, but having the ERA passed so that they could have birth control. This shows the desire of the society to have abortion. 5. I disagree with the message of this cartoon. I think that if the ERA is to be passed, women have to serve the army whether they like it or not. Then the abortion right could be passed. So I think that women have to be drafted into the army, if the abortion right is to be passed.
