Today is homecoming day. When we first walked in we tried to persuade him to listen to music instead of doing his powerpoint but that didn't work. Then we started back up on the powerpoint. First he showed us a pie graph of Federal income taxes in 2001.
Democrats want to cut military spend, but expand veteran's benefits, act with support from NATO and the UN. The Republicans increase military spending, but cut veteran's benefits, and the want to be more seperate from NATO and the UN.
Democrats are against the death penalty because they don't think its neccesary to control crime and it wouldn't really help. they also think its unconstitutional because its cruel and unusual punishment. But the Republicans think the opposite, the they think the death penalt is necessary and effective. The most common race of U.S. executions is white followed by black, and females have only been executed 11 times.
Democrats think its okay for gay marriage because it is their civil rights. And Republicans think they shouldn't have gay marriage because it is a sacred act to be kept between a man and a women. Most of states don't allow people to show that they are gay in public.
Democrats oppose the fact of praying in school. they believe its the seperation between church and state. Republicans favor it because they believe its their religious right and its our Christian heritage.
Democrats favored the war in Iraq at first, but yet they criticized Bush for messing it up. They also want to get more countries to support it. They also want a defined exit strategy which Obama already set which is now in 18 months. President Obama also wants to focus on Afghanistan. Republicans think that they should not leave until the job in Iraq was done. They admit it the mistakes they made in Iraq and says it will be a tough fight. They also hope Iraq's new government and the people in Iraq will be stable enough for us to leave without getting taken over again.
