introduction: Have you ever been scared off by the word politics? Is it frightening for you? If we go in a physical discussion of it would you be lost? You've probably never heard a brief, simple, clear, and short definition of democrats, and republicans that you may carry around with you. because political scientists like to doll it up and make it this long theory. Basically democrats are for government and support from government for their needs, wants. On the outside wanting to help people, and more so metropolitan support of each other, along with wanting people to support the underprivelleged and unfortunate basically a lot of things in san francisco you see. republican on the other hand is about self efficiency, a small limited government, deregulation, private sector, individual rights, fhreedom to help yourself and trade, self governing, learning what you can afford, managing the best you can, good neighbor policy unregulated by the government, and so forth.
credibility statement: I have been interested in politics for three years now, intensely researching it, always talking about it, relating it to life, have been said to be very politically knowledgeable by many, write about it, keep up with it, and do a lot of things with it, and even almost considering going in to it but decided I would just watch and vote participating as a citizen rather than work in it as a politician, because their is not many stable jobs.
thesis: Republican politics is the best and most efficient set of politics out there.

CONCLUSION:
This has given me a chance to think and examine my passion further Today I have spoken to you about the politics of America on the right wing, and I hope that you have learnt something through the six points, how I got into politics, history of the right, values of the right, what is happening now, the politics of this year, and what I am going to do and am doing. If you don't remember anything from today I hope you remember how interesting republican politics are, it doesn't matter if you are for it or not. If you are a republican then you have learnt more about it. If you are a democrat, you are now exposed to the other side and if you don't know then you know what the right does. Whichever side you choose I hope this informative speech has made you more aware and interested in politics and maybe it's a good idea to go out there and pursue more knowledge about politics. I'll close with this, although california is a democratic state, with finestein and boxer as are senators, republicanism is still evidential in this state, and that's the great thing about the united states we can believe as we wish say what we want, and love this country as we please.
