Democratic Versus Republican Party Platform (1992)



Its funny. How many times have I heard from a teacher, its not the length or size of the paper that matters it is what the paper holds that matters. However, that really is never the case. As this video represents, the republican party is emphasizing the length of the Democratic Platform compared to the Republican Platform. They continue to use the word specific over and over to emphasize that the Republican Platform is significatly longer than the Democratic Platform. Yes, in fact the Republican Platform may be better than the Democratic Platform however, in some ways maybe not. I have not read the two platforms, but maybe the Democratic Platform got its points across and said what it needed to say specifically and too the point.

Commenting on the actual platform ideas specified in the clip, it seems the speaker continues to talk about being able to choose and the right to choose, healthcare and childcare. He talks about the emphasis they put on education, which is an important topic. This is 1992 but the republican ideas are still very similar as are the democratic ideas that were shown in the previous video shown.
