Many of the campaign strategies used by John McKay include him saying what he wants, doing what he wants and going where he wants. While his campaign manager may have put a strict hold on that idea John McKay always found a

“It is a natural evolution of our mass consciousness to begin to see third parties as a viable option; it is reflected in the corrupt and broken two-party system.” Michelle Augello-Page, an author and writer, uses this quote to speak to the frustration Americans feel about the two-party political system. Since the 1850’s, the Democrats and Republicans have received the majority of the popular vote, while third party candidates struggle election after election (Schechter). The two major party candidates don’t always speak to the issues many Americans want to be addressed. Therefore, Americans must consider voting for third party candidates to ensure democracy works for everyone.

In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

The US Presidential Election of 2000 featured George W. Bush and Al Gore. It will go down in history as one of the most closest elections¡¦ in US history. It also goes down as one of the most controversial. The final decision was based on just a few hundred votes in Florida. The controversy began when the media prematurely declared the winner twice based solely on exit polls. They finally conceded that the Florida count was just too close to predict. It would take a month before the election was ultimately certified after numerous court challenges and vote recounts. Republican candidate George W. Bush was declared the winner of the Florida¡¦s 25 electoral votes. This was a victory by a razor thin margin of popular

Despite the smear campaign ran against him, he did what is expected of a preacher, he turned the other cheek, merely mocking the claims. He won the seat of premiere, and as this was during the interwar period, he got to go and see Adolf Hitler in Germany. At this time Hitler was praised by many people throughout the world, even Canada’s prime minister at the time, William Mackenzie King. Douglas had seen the struggles of the working class, he was a part of it. His upbringing had shaped his ideals towards a liberal ideology because that is what he new could solve the problems he’d experienced, similar problems that the people of Germany were facing. Upon seeing Hitler in person, Douglas saw him, not as a brilliant solver of all of Germany’s problems, but as a madman. Living through the depression, seeing Hitler, and then attempting to improve the lives of all people throughout the World War Two period would come to impact him, the lessons learned in Germany would give a great insight into what should never be able to happen to a person, no matter their race, gender, or

Running for office is not the easiest thing where people search their platform. But I think it is more than the one’s platform. After reading many articles, it was determined that there is no fixed cost for running for office in Texas. According to data provided in the The Texas Tribune, the amount of money spends by the person running for office in the Texas ranged from $0 to more than $1million dollars.

He may even win over some democrats because of his moderate opinions on a few issues such as immigration. Ann Kirkpatrick, who is putting up a good fight against McCain, feels that she will win because some voters view McCain as a weak leader. She stated "The biggest vulnerability I hear about John McCain is that he didn't stand up to Trump when Trump insulted him. People are just saying ‘If he doesn't stand up for himself, he won't stand up for us” referring to McCain’s meek acceptance of Donald Trump, even after being insulted by the presidential nominee. Kirkpatrick also feels that Arizona has been “trending towards blue for the past 20 years”, but that many people who are more liberal do not actually go out and vote. She is hoping that changes this

Bryce was fascinated by the presidential selection process, which he considered largely controlled by party organizations that determined nominations and preferred mediocre candidates. While he had high praise for presidents in the U.S., he considered subsequent executives, with several exceptions, to be personally

     Political parties also use ads that make there opponent out to be the bad guy, and often these ads come from what their opponent has said in the past. Candidates use information from the past to display the image that there opponent can not be trusted and will go back on his or her word. This is typically called “flip flopping”.

When one gives one's word, one should honor that vow unless one's promise is in haste and that commitment supports something or someone so repugnant it would be reprehensible to keep that pledge, or support. Having said all that I did state some months ago that I would support the GOP nominee regardless, after making known my Presidential candidate choice. I wish I hadn't said it to be honest and may this election be the last that I ever publicly take a definitive stance on that topic...this is not a vow BTW. There are times where I wish I could warp back in time and become that inactive non-politically astute person. That young 20 something that would go vote and just punch that R in a booth, exit and go about my business without another thought,
