The purpose of this post is to give you reasons why to vote Republican. However it will also explain why not to vote Republican. Let me say at the beginning that I am a Republican party member, however, I have voted both Democrat and Libertarian. I do not want to let my views influence your choice how to vote. Let’s first look at the issues around voting Republican. I want to be objective as possible.
Top reasons to vote Republican
- Republicans believe in small government.
- Republicans believe in low taxes.
- Republicans believe in small and big business.
- Republicans are pro life.
- To the economy usually grows very strong under Republican administrations.
Why not to vote Republican
Now look at some of the reasons why people do not vote Republican.
- Republicans are weak on environmental issues.
- Republicans are pro com.
- The Republicans often favor the military and imperialism.
- The world views Republican presidents less friendly than Democratic presidents.
- Republicans are special interest to big business.
- The Republicans are just as much wheelers and dealers as any other political party.
On the whole it looks like there are more negatives than positives with regards to the Republican party. However, I agree with its underlying premise that the government that governs least governs best.
I also agree with the party’s stance on social and moral issues. Generally Republicans are more connected with the origin of the United States in terms of the understanding of the founding fathers of the U.S.. The Republican party represents a constructivism understanding of the constitution.
What does this mean. It means they try to go back to the original intent of the founding fathers.
Republicans represent family values and take hard stands with affair not popular, rather they base their issues on ethics more than polls. Examples of this are issues such as prayer in school, or pro life.
On the other hand Libertarians may have a very positive viewpoint regarding less government intervention and low taxes, however they’re very loose in terms of moral stances.
The democrats are more of a populist party. They represent a rainbow of special interests. Democratic presidents often are not president’s which promote economic growth or take strong moral stances on issues. However the stock market usually goes up during Democratic times. Recent Democrats have given more money to big business and Republicans ever have.
I don’t want to be pro Republican or even conservative, even though I am registered Republican. I’m not writing this to sway you to vote Republican. However if I put all the issues on the table it looks like the Republican party has a couple more issues that are more important than the Republican party.
Defining issue to vote GOP
I think the most critical issue is the Republicans are pro baby. The Republican party was the anti-slavery party even though it is not an easy stance at the time. The Democrats were pro-slave. This is the same with the life issue. It is not politically correct to be for life but it is a moral issue that each person has to answer.
I’ve given you the reasons to vote Republican and I’m curious to hear your feedback on if you think deserve valid, bias, partial, objective, interesting or whatever.
