The Ideological Turing Test

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

I am a Republican because their values are very much the same values that I hold. I am conservative in all things. I love the USA and strongly support our troops. I believe in Jesus Christ and traditional marriage. And I think that abortion should be outlawed. It is crazy to me that it is fine to kill a baby but people get all up in arms over animal welfare. I mean, I like animals, but we are talking about a real, live, human being. I believe that God created Man and Woman and that marriage is between one man and one woman for the rest of their lives. The Bible clearly states that in numerous passages. I try to live my life by God's word and his word aligns the closest to Republican Values. So I am a Republican, and I don't care if that is not a popular thing to be in this day and age as a 37 year old Female. I am conservative and that is my choice!

I am a Republican because the principles of the Republican Party align with my beliefs. I am pro-life, pro-marriage, and believe in the limited government our founding fathers had ordained. I am very grateful for the opportunities this great country has given me. It is the party of freedom. Democrats have opposed civil rights every step of the way whether in terms of racial inclusion or woman's suffrage. Our first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, passed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves. After opposing this legislation, Democrats opposed the integration of freed slaves through Jim Crow laws and also by pandering to white nationalist or the Ku Klux Clan.

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.

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

To me being a Democrat, means that I believe all Americans deserve economic security and not just the very, very small minority of Americans. I am a Democrat, because in my opinion the government should not give free money to rich to encourage them to add more jobs, because usually the government money disappears without desired outcome, more jobs, occurring. I am a Democrat because I believe in free competitive economic markets for small, local business owners and not just super large corporations. I am a Democrat, because I want all Americans to have access to a competent health care system, and families should not have to fear going to the MD, because of the extremely high costs if they do not have health insurance. We should offer health insurance to all Americans at a very reasonable cost, based on income. As a Democrat I believe in the family, no matter how the family is defined. One parent, same sex parents, and the families should have strong, safe public schools to send children to, improved day care programs for their children while parents are at work. As a Democrat, I believe in social responsibility and global warming must be examined in an effort to maintain human, plant and animal life. We waste too many of our resources. As a Democrat, I would like to see very few people in prison related to drug use, and see those people in rehab centers. Only violent offenders should be held in jail or prison, and they should have education and jobs to do while in prison in order to enhance their life and surroundings when released back into society. I am a Democrat because I believe all of our actions impact others, so we must think before acting and support each other in many ways.

I am a republican because i believe that we need lower taxes. I work hard for my money and do not want my money paying high taxes for useful spending. I also think we need to take care of our citizens first and by doing that we need to stop illegal immigration. There are so many americans struggling right now that can not get any help but we are currently going out of our way to provide benefits to illegal immigrants that actual united states citizens can not get and that is a huge problem. I fully support a border wall and although it might not be ""modern"" it can help a bit and anything that can help should be implemented.

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

I am a democrat because I believe in egalitarianism, everyone should have equal rights. I think there should be stricter rules on gun control. I believe women should be able to have abortions longer than 8 weeks. I think humans are directly effecting the climate with fossil fuels. I believe there's too many rich people who own much more than everybody else and this is where capitalism is flawed, monopolies are taking over. Bernie Sanders has a spotless past and was even arrested for standing up to school segregation in the 60's. Donald Trump is dividing the country and doesnt care who he offends with his hate rhetoric.

I am a Democrat because I believe our country is in a fast decline based on the current leaders in position. I look forward to voting in the next election and hope that the outcome will generate a fresh, new approach to the vision of America. There are a multitude of well-qualified candidates that are lining up to take on the responsibility of putting America back on the right track. I am confident that our Party will have a high voter turn out when it's Election time and that we will be victorious in filling the House, Senate, and Presidential seat!

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

I am a Republican because I strongly believe in individual freedom, small government and that ""America First"" is the policy that this country should follow going forward. America has spent decades as the ""world's policemen"" and we have also been taken advantage of in our trade policy. I understand that we live in a ""global society"", but since I also believe that America should rely on our strength in every area to do it's best for our citizens! We need to reduce immigration, retrain our citizens - who have been loyal to American manufacturers - for the jobs of the future and also make sure that we are not just importing goods, but that countries like China, India, and Mexico are importing OUR goods as well!

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

I am a Democrat because I believe that opportunity is something that should be given equally to all people, not just those that have money. I believe that freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of religion, that all these freedoms are inherent to being an American, that our country was established on the notion of freedom, and to deny anyone that right, is unAmerican. I believe that there more important things in life than the pursuit of money, that greed has become the definition of what it means to be an American, overriding faith and family as being the foundations of who we truly are.

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

I am a REPUBLICAN because I believe in the importance of individual responsibility and our rights as guaranteed by the constitution. The best government is one that is limited and allows the States, local citizens and their representatives, powers not granted to the Federal level. Taxes at the Federal level should be low, as the government should not be providing the majority of services it currently does. It should focus primarily on defense and national security, and social security for the elderly. The majority of everything else is best provided at the state and local levels, and by charitable organizations.
