In class on Tuesday, Mr. Wickersham's class we talked about what separates America. And one of those subtopics was the presidential parties and how half the people in the nation are Democrats and the other half are Republicans. I think that it separates our nation so much. There are many people that get in arguments about who should lead our country. People that are Democrats think that George Bush is a loser, like my mom, and I think that this is a bad thing.
There was just a poll in the Jewish News that asked: What political party is friendlier to Israel? My mom, the Democrat, asked my dad, the Republican, this poll. My dad replied about ten seconds later, “high sixty percent, Democrat.” The real answer was 22% Democrat, 65% Republican and 13% neither. I was just wondering if you talk to your parents about what political party they choose, and if you do, what political party are they in and what you think about their decision.

I have had discussions with my parents many times about their political beliefs. My mom being a teacher is a Democrat, She is against Bush all the way. My dad on the other hand is a Republican and is for Bush. I on the other hand am caught in the middle. I like some views that Bush has but some of them I agree with my mom about, like the No child left behind law Bush has created. I have also personally seen the no child left behind law go in the opposite direction that Bush intended it to go. My feelings are mixed about both parties but I feel that by the time I am able to vote my views towards who leads the country will be more stable, and I wll have a better knowledge on who and why I vote for.
