America's Political Parties and Their Views
77Freedom of Politics
This hub is being made to describe all of America's political parties.
America is not just Democrat and Republican. I will explain the differences in all.
Scroll down and learn about the political parties of the United States of America.
The Top Two
Republican
It is considered the Grand Old Party; or GOP. They were founded in 1854 and are considered conservative. Most believe in supply-side economics.
They are also based on social conservatism which to put simply is: Enforcing traditional values to keep the population in line. You can see thisin examples such as abortion and gun rights.
John McCain and Sarah Palin are the candidates for President and V.P. for the Republican party this election.
Democrat
They are the oldest party in the United States. They have always been viewed as liberal.
Early on they were known for supporting the farmers, laborers, unions, etc...
Lately they have taken on a socially progressive stand. They advocate social freedoms, affirmative action, and free enterprise tempered slightly by government interaction.
Barak Obama and Joe Biden are the candidates for 2008.
The Big Three
Constitution Party
I would call this party ultra-conservative. They are pro-life, anti gun control, anti tax, anti immigration, anti new-world order, anti United nation.
Howard Phillips founded the party in 1992.
Chuck Baldwin and Darrell Castle are the 2008 candidates for the Constitution party.
Green Party
This party has grown and grown. Considered a very "save our planet" party. They are considered very far left.
The party is very well known since Ralph Nader joined their ranks.
The candidates this year for the Green party are Cynthia McKinney & Rosa Clemente.
Libertarian Party
Started in 1971, Libertarians are neither left nor right.
They stand for all out individual rights. They are pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-home schooling, anti-gun control, etc...
The Libertarian candidates this year are Bob Barr and Wayne Root.
All Others
Our country has many, many other parties.

Awesome thing is that Barr is second on your poll. I hope he keeps gaining supporters. Unfortunately it seems people are still buying into the Manchurian candidate.
How hard is it to learn that it's BaraCk not Barak Obama. He's been all over TV, the internet, newspapers and anywhere else you look for about a year now and you still get his name wrong?!?!
Yea, maybe I spelled his name wrong-sorry if it hurt your feelings. At least I know there are 50 states--not 57 as your Obama thinks.
One correction - you said that the Constitution Party is anti-immigration. This is not true. We are opposed to illegal immigration, but supportive of limited, regulated immigration - like the US policy was in the past.
Thanks for spreading the word about the other parties and not just Democrat and Republican. If everybody took the time to learn about the parties through posts like yours then there would be more understanding of who and what you're voting for instead of people voting for Presidents for their charisma.

Interesting. I didn't know there were so many political parties in the U.S. I knew of only four. What prevents more of them becoming a major force on the political arena I wonder? I did check out the light party site. Pretty psychedelic.
