The Ideological Turing Test

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

The social and humanitarian values of the party is founded on selflessness. The democrats constantly attempt to cater and care for the common people as regards the following: - Wages of the average individual being at a minimum is deemed unfair to be taxed at the same rate charged to those of the higher earners. Simply put, because lower earners have lesser advantages such as education, they are unable to earn enough for themselves especially those with families, and charging them more would leave them poor. - Health and care of the people is greatly supported as seen by the enthusiasm towards Obamacare and Medicaid. - Immigration i.e. their stance of providing a path to citizenship for immigrants. Thus, I believe the traits of compassion and having sympathy for fellow humans is a great composition of the democrats.

I am a democrat because I believe that the government should be involved in the economy. I believe in protecting the environment and making the world a better place to live in. I think that college should be more affordable and there should be universal healthcare. I like that the democratic party cares about the social welfare of the people and that is one of the reasons why I chose to become a democrat myself. I want the government to take care of the people and make it so that everyone has a fair chance at life. I really believe in these causes and support my party.

I believe that the republican presidents usually have America best interest at heart. With the whole immigration issue. I believe that anyone that comes to this country it should be the legal way and have the proper paper work. I believe that coming here illegal and taking jobs from people that are legal is wrong

I am a Democrat because I am a progressive thinker. I am a Democrat because I believe this country is headed in the wrong direction. I believe that medical insurance is a right for all and the government should pay for it. I believe we should open the borders and let people from other counties come in. As a Democrat, we should have an open-door policy. I am a Democrat because I believe we should have free education for all. That means that all students graduating from High School or young adult that want to attend High School can do so. This would be best for our country.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

My political ideology is related to my religious beliefs. I love Christ. I am a Republican solely because the beliefs of my religion, Christianity, are very similar with what Republicans value. I oppose abortions and gay marriage, for example. I don't agree with some of the basic tenets that Republicans have, but for the most part, I stand for what they stand for. I'm extremely passionate about the topic of abortion. I do not think it's right to murder a child in the womb. I think if a woman chooses to commit this crime, she should go to jail! If Democrats were primarily against abortion, I would probably be a Democrat. My religion defines my life. In the end, I choose my political identity based on which party is most similar to my religious beliefs!

I am a Democrat because I believe that we, as humans, should take care of, not only other humans, but also the planet. I believe the rights of people are more important than profits. I believe every human has a right to be treated with dignity. I believe healthcare is a right for everyone, not just the rich. Someone shouldn't die because they couldn't afford to go to the doctor. That is just unbelievable in this day and age. I believe that we can all work together to improve living conditions for ourselves and others. Finally, I am a Democrat because I believe we are the only hope for saving the planet.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I believe that Americans should come first before illegal immigrants. I also believe that it is a privilege to be in this country and it is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. I believe that the democratic party has lost their way on what is right and wrong and have forgotten that the American people have worked hard to protect what's theirs. As Americans we do not work hard in order to provide to those that come into this country illegally and feed off of our systems that are in place for citizens. We work hard for our future.

I should be able to expect all elected officials to do their job,but they done't.Thats why its important to be a republican, to get things done and get the word out.. It is very discouraging to watch the current state of our federal government, where many laws are disregarded and changed without the constitutional process of legislative changes. It was never the intent of our founding fathers that the judicial branch would have the ability to write new law nor for the executive branch to make laws by executive orders. We have set a very bad precedent and, by our own foolishness, have given too much power to the executive branch of our government.We have set a very bad precedent and, by our own foolishness, have given too much power to the executive branch of our government. There will come a time when the left will be as dismayed as the right is now.

I am a Republican because I believe that each person should be responsible for his/her own place in society. I believe that government should only be a facilitator to people instead of an authority taking control away from the people. The government should only intervene to maintain law and order and to make sure everyone plays by the rules. I believe in the free market enterprise and deregulation. I believe that we should have a strong national defense and build our society based on traditional values. I do not believe in easy welfare programs that can be manipulated and misused. I believe in fiscal conservatism instead of designing programs that are fiscally risky and unlikely to pay off.

I am a Republican mainly because of my religious beliefs. I was raised to follow the teachings of the Bible. I believe that abortion is wrong and shouldn't be allowed, but I do make the exception of rape or incest. Marriage should be between a man and woman, as the Bible teaches. God does not condone same sex marriages. I also think that the increase in immigrants in this country is causing jobs to be taken from legal Americans. People that are born in this country should have the primary access to jobs, not people came here illegally, without following the rules of immigration.
