The party morphs depending on who's running.

As related [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=165885\|here], the parties have switched sides over time. The best thing to do is probably point your friend to Bush's and Kerry's web sites and let them browse around. HTH. Cheers, Scott.

Is there something that defines the official ones? Thanks Brenda Edit: I looked at the GOP Republican site, but it just talks about BUSH again, and slams Kerry. I want to find a definition of the two parties, or their basic creeds, or something like that, that applies to now, with no biases. Wondering if that even exists?

Post #167,464 by Another Scott 8/4/04 1:47:41 PM Reply	Click and Read is the best way. The official sites are near the top (links 1 and 3 for me). rnc.org and democrats.org are the official sites. Cheers, Scott.

Nightowl >8# Edit: I don't think it's there. Man, this is hard. All I wanted was the differences in a nutshell to explain to her, and this is overwhelming, I don't even know how to begin, and I'm sure not sending her to these sites to get overwhelmed too. Maybe I need something less complex, like a dictionary or encyclopedia definition of the parties.... I don't want the entire platform or rules, just the basic philosophies. Man, now I know why I stayed away from reading about politics. This is dizzying. Nightowl >8# Note to self: Find new signature soon.
