Republicans

The Republican Party has it's strengths and weaknesses, just as the Democratic Party does. A strength of the Republican Party is it's view on Education. I like their stand on promoting school choice and home-schooling. I think it is a good thing that they give the parents more control on their kid's education because some kids listen to their parents more than school authorities sometimes. And theirs also the fact that it gives the right whether or not the parent wants to home school their kid is good because a parent knows what's best for their child and the fact that they have that choice to make is good. Parents really appreciate that. I also like that they support "achievement is basis for access to college" because with the way the economy and the world is going, students need to continue on to college and get a higher education so that they can be safe when trying to find and maintain a job when it is time.

Another strength of the Republican Party is their view on Jobs. Two of their views are to "Recognize that people depend on land for livelihood" and that "Small business deserves better treatment from government." I agree that small businesses deserve better treatment because it is the small business that are family based and usually have the best to offer. It is sad to see a business that has been passed down for many generations being treated poorly and possibly getting their business taken away from them. They've worked hard to get that store and they should receive some respect. I also like their other statement where people depend on land for livelihood. Think about farmers. They make all their money off of their land and what they produce. They need to be thought about and remembered. It isn't easy for them and they do what they need to support themselves or a family, and they need to be recognized.

And then the Republican Party have their weaknesses. In my opinion, one of the Republican Party's weakness is their view on Crime, but most of all, that they support the death penalty. There have been many cases where people have been tried and sentenced to the death penalty and after they have already killed the convicted person, they have been proven innocent but it was already too late. The death penalty in my opinion is too risky to put someone's life on the line especially if later on they may end up being innocent all along, it just isn't fair.
