The GOP

Frankly, I am not a Republican, but I do agree with some of the Republican party's ideals. They like a civil state of law, as do I, among other things. But I recognize that many in the Republican party are being roped into extremely aggressive politics and strategies that not all of them choose. It is inappropriate to vote republican without examining your candidate. An independent or democratic or 3rd party candidate might actually be closer to your views. Parties are shifting.

The Republican party is threatened broadly by the World Trade Organization. Many WTO rulings are not in the interest of the average Republican party member. This is also the case with the NSA. Many Republicans respect the 4th amendment and do not want to see it broken even by the state. Many also enjoy the right of the 1st amendment and do not want that right stifled at campaign events or have voicing their reasonable opinion score them a spot on a state list. As well many GOPers agree that the media plays a critical role, and even if they support the wars or the troops, the media should be asking tough questions about it as well as about the discrepancies of 9/11, and would like to see them do so without state hinderance and to hear more from the Secretary of State and other officials with the media about the state and plans of the nation on topics they choose.

Even if you believe what the state says, you should demand the rights you were given by your forefathers.
