reps & dems

Democrats: the democratic party was founded on the idea that people of wealth and privilege shouldn't be automatically entitled to rule.The Democratic National Convention began the Democratic National Committee in 1848. It has become the longest running political organization in the world. The Convention gave the committee the job of promoting the party causes between the conventions and also preparing for each of the next conventions.
Republicans: The Republican party was founded out of the conflicts regarding the expansion of slavery into the new Western territories.  The party took on the mission of saving the Union and destroying slavery during the American Civil War and over Reconstruction. In the election of 1864, it united with pro-war Democrats to nominate Lincoln on the National Union Party ticket.

In the past I guess I supported the Republican party mainly because of the fact that that was what my parents were. But even so I do believe in some Democratic principles as well. The Republicans seem to be very critical of basically everyone who doesn't agree with them and the Democrats don't seem to want to do anything about it. basically they are both idiots as of late so i would probably register as an independent.
