I am a Republican because I love my country and want it to be the best it can be, respecting the wishes of our forefathers who started it. I want the country to be safe and successful for its citizens. I don't want it to be taken advantage of. I don't others to get ahead at the expense of its tax-paying citizens. There are traditions to uphold that will ensure the growth of the US that has worked for hundreds of years. The freedom our ancestors fought so hard for need to be protected from both foreign and domestic problems.

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

I am a republican because I stand for our rights in the declaration of independence. We have a right to bear arms and protect our family and freedoms, something liberals are threatening. Babies have a right to life and I want to protect life by voting for pro-life politicians. I am a republican because I believe in GOD and my right to express that. Liberals are trying to take away our rights - freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the freedom of religion, etc. I am family oriented and hardworking, while liberals are standing around looking for a handout from the government.

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

I believe in a free market. Too much regulation of the business industry would interfere on the on the potential of certain products that would be of benefit to so many people. Now businesses will be able to generate substantial money into wages and benefits. I also believe in lowering taxes for all people. It does not seem fair to pay for higher taxes for someone else, who by individual choice, could impede on my own hardworking money. I also believe in legal immigration. People need to pay into the system like everyone else. Even those who have just started working.

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

I am a Republican because I think everyone should carry their own weight financially. I support a strong economy and local jobs. Immigration needs to be enforced diligently. We need to look after our own interests and focus on helping the country we live in. We also need to pay off our deficit to establish a good relationship globally with other countries. We must promote good moral behavior and be ethical to ensure people are living in the right manner. We must remove the wrongdoers and rebellious people. I care about our country being the best and allowing others the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

I am a republican because i believe in this like having the right own and bear arms. I believe in fewer regulations on the general public and society. I believe in less taxes, i believe that if war is needed to sustain the free life style then so be it. I believe that we should have the free will to vote as we please, I am strongly conservative and am pro life. I believe that the constitution should be followed no matter what the democratic party thinks. I should be able to see any monument i want with worrying about it be torn down by a bunch of snowflakes!

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

I am a Democrat because I believe in equality of opportunity for all people, regardless of background or circumstances. I believe in actively pursuing the health and well-being of all members of our society, and ultimately the world, through the spread of health care, education, equal rights, a clean environment, and fair and equitable financial systems. I think that going forward we have new and unprecedented challenges for our country and the world, and it will be Democratic ideas that solve them. Republicans are thought to bring about good economic conditions, but even there the economy is better under Democratic Presidents. Our individual outcomes are far better when the combined resources of the world are used for the betterment of all. I think that is what Democratic policies try to do and that's what I personally believe in.

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

I am a Republican because I believe that compassion and being conservative is best for those of us who are struggling. We are problem solvers which is what the world needs today. People need to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. I believe that some of the same positions the party stands for I have as well. While not a strong Republican they still align better with what I believe. There seems to be so much rhetoric with the Democrats right now. I don't believe the President was ever really given a chance and that right now everything is so drawn out and just using up taxpayer money for things that are ridiculous.

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that political party represents me and my ideas of how society should work better than the Republican party. I think the Democratic party represents the working class people, which in the U.S. is the majority of people. They want to improve life for everybody, not just rich people or people of one certain racial group. It is more progressive in looking towards the future, seeing the potential of each person and what they can achieve in this country, again not just the rich or one race of people. Democrats want what is truly best for people, not just giving people the freedom to make bad choices. However, they will protect a person's right to make bad choices, but want to give them better options so that they won't have to make bad choices. For example, President Obama wanted all Americans to have access to affordable healthcare. The plan may not have worked perfectly, and many insurance companies and employers bastardized the process by hiking up the cost of coverage and firing employees saying it would cost too much to provide coverage respectively, but it was a well thought out plan to actually help people. Not like the Republicans who think it is better that people be able to choose not to have health insurance at all than to try to ensure that everybody can have healthcare coverage. I'm going to stop now because I have gone well over 100 words, but I could go on about this all day. I think Republicans only want to represent rich people, white people, and Christians. And the party caters to people who want to feel superior by having the authority to exclude the poor, minorities, and non Christians from this country.

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

I am a Republican because I used to be a Democrat. As silly as that is to type, it's the God's honest truth. The Democrat party has moved so far left, plugging rights for illegal immigrants, ignoring everything horrible Obama did (spying on press, weaponizing the IRS, spying on Trump etc.etc.) and still pretends they're morally right. I officially changed my registration during the 2012 election, and I haven't looked back. The Democrat party is the anti-American party, and I just don't see how they course-correct. Everyone who disagrees with them is racist/bigot/etc.etc. It's sickening and it's dishonest, and the Republican party has been the party that is far more interested in protecting our rights. The Republicans are the party of free speech, non-insane laws, and freedom in general. Anyone who could be a Democrat after the disastrous Obama years and current trajectory of the party just isn't watching.
