If we would leave parties to the politicians, and would vote not for the party, not even for men, but for the city, and the State, and the nation, we should rule parties, and cities, and States, and nation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I will not be a Democrat or a Republican. They are the problem, not the solution. We need to abolish political parties in this country.
If elected, I would not be the mere president of a party - I would endeavor to act independent of party domination and should feel bound to administer the government untrammeled by party schemes.
Our party is united. At times, some people may have disagreements and leave, but it is not a big issue.
Without the political parties and the volunteering work of their members day in, day out, we would have a very different sort of politics and society.
Society judges political parties based on the results that they give. When they don't meet the population's needs, when they are not up to expectations, that leaves society free to pick other parties.
Our political system needs changing. It needs to move away from personalities and patronage to a system of party programs and consultation with the people.
Belonging to one party is acceptable. But my days of just ticking the party box are long over. I judge the candidates for who they are.
I don't think that has to be our choice... This party was born in principle. This party will die if it doesn't stand by its decision of principle.
It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I'm a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can't be too small to suit me.
If everybody in this town connected with politics had to leave town because of chasing women and drinking, you would have no government.
