- I found it and read it about both parties but I would like to hear from forum members what their thoughts are.

2. Have you watched 2016: Obama's America? what are your thought?

Call it dumb question or whatever you want. I only been in state for 8+ years and never found my self and political interested person before until now.

1.) The parties do not have set party beliefs. Generally the Democrats are in favour of federal gov't spending for social aide, higher taxes rather than cutting programs, regulations on economics, less social limitations

The republicans tend to favour military spending, lower taxes, following a White Christian moral code, etc.

The Republicans shift ever more conservate with each passing day. Richard Nixon would likely be considered a democrat (if based solely on his views) today.
