- deficit spending will end!---not keep spending if $$ isnt there..
- bail out and stimulus plans are illegal.
- reduce business income taxes are mandatory.
- traditional family values are encouraged.

Republicans think that the Tea Party is going to split the republicans in half...
Ways to save $$
- Cut programs ---ends up cutting jobs! Don't give so much, etc.
- Up taxes
**more with the debate**
- Not all democrats and republicans agree on issues within the party.
- Media tends to have a lot of sway over people --- Fox vs. CNN --- etc.
- Good reporters are going to keep their opinon out.
- Media tends to be more Democrat. --news, magazines, etc.
- Where you live can effect what party you belong to...western Iowa tends to be more republican. (conservative) Des Moines gets more democrat and as you move up.
- Iowa was one of the first to allow gay marriage --- not conservative what so ever.
- more wealthy people are for the republicans -- tax breaks. republicans tend to help the rich.
- Democrats tend to help the poor people more.
- Africans Americans are more democrat --- For instance Obama getting voted in..
- Traditonally the west coast is democrat, eastern also.
