America would benefit from a new political party in power.

[1] I understand that my opponent compresses the wording of quotes to save time. The difference here is that in the quote I was pointing out, even in it's compressed form was not worded correctly. [2] My opponent asks me to point out a time in history when neither the Republicans nor the Democrats efficiently solved a problem or addressed the voice of the people adequately. There are many, but I will give one below. 1.) Illegal immigrants coming across American borders to live here in America. This problem has never been efficiently addresses or solved by either party. This problem could be solved by building a wall around our nations borders and posting guards to keep it in order. This is something that has been done since ancient times to protect borders and is very effective. This solution would also create more jobs. It would do this in two ways... - The building of the border wall and any adjoining facilities would create jobs during the construction phase. - The border wall and any adjoining facilities would need guards, administrative personnel, maintenance crews, etc. to occupy and manage the new structures, which creates jobs. This solution to my first example is easily solves the main problem, while also helping some of Americas other important problems at he same time. This nor any other efficient solution to this problem has been accomplished by either party. You see... It's not a question on weather or not these parties have the capabilities, man power, or experience to create and follow through with efficient solutions to our nations leading problems. Neither of these parties solve our Nation's leading problems efficiently. It seems seems that my opponent would like to justify this fact by stating that these problems are here regardless of who is in power, when the truth is that the people that have been in power are the ones that put us in these situations in the first place. They did this through a lack of vision for America's future. So it is time for a new party to step in the ring and throw on the gloves. [3] My opponent's use of portraying the 2 parties as the "parents" of our country falls out of context with my original earlier statement when I used the word "children". But I will elaborate on my opponent's scenario usage, to open voters eyes towards another way to look at it. My opponent states that "The 'two parents' in question here would be the Republicans and the Democrats. The Republicans and the Democrats have known these 'children', as in the country, all of their lives, and have been a part of their development and responsible for their protection for as long as anyone can remember. Now, let's kick one of these parents completely out of the lives of the children in favor for an 18 year old in the hopes the 18 year old can break the horrible addiction habits of the kids AND get them to work. It doesn't matter that the parent that was kicked out was in the middle of a parenting course teaching them how to take better care of their children - we believe the 18 year old with no parental experience can do it better. The 18 year old in this analogy is the new party my opponent is talking about - as if the 'children' in question here, a.k.a. the country, would somehow benefit more from an in-experienced parent (that has no idea what they are doing) as opposed to a more experienced parent who is in the middle of trying to get things back on track using hundreds of years of pre-acquired knowledge and understanding of the situation due to their longevity. I believe the country would be better off sticking with the parent that would have an idea of what they are doing and knowledge of what needs to be done to fix the situation(s) at hand." First, my opponent makes assumptions and paints the bleak picture of a near worst case scenario. The new party I agree would be newly formed, but comparing it to an 18 year old teenager is not an accurate comparison. This party would be filled with intelligent men and woman, men and women of all ages with fresh new ideas and also learned old wisdoms. I see through my opponent's argument that he/she makes the mistake of assuming that all of the people involved will be inexperienced. There are many people of power and influence in the world of politics that could join hands with such a party and only a party that was worthy of being in power would ever get my vote. Second, if one of the 2 parents or both, are not fit to be a parent... That is, if they demonstrate irresponsibility, acting self centered, acting unreliable, letting greed direct their motives, acting cruel, doesn't show proper care or concern towards the children's needs, etc... If any or all of these things are shown for a prolonged period of time, say 100 years or more, then the parent or both parents should be stripped of their parenting powers, to let new parents try and do a better job. My opponent says "I believe the country would be better off sticking with the parent that would have an idea of what they are doing and knowledge of what needs to be done to fix the situation(s) at hand." Neither party has demonstrated prowess in efficiently solving the majority of our nations problems. If my opponent disagrees with my opinion or statement, then I kindly request evidence that supports these two parties have demonstrated such prowess. The parents should be replaced not by an 18 year old teenager, but by a parent or parents that have always wanted to parent children and have always wanted to solve those children's problems... But were never given the opportunity. They wanted to be parents because they had seen the way the current parents were parenting the children, and seen that this kind of parenting was not working efficiently and the children's problems were not being corrected and/or solved as they could or should be. My opponent makes the mistake of assuming the new party would not have any idea what they are doing.... Why would my opponent assume such a thing? How would a a party that does not know what they are doing, overthrow a party that has been in power for over 100 years? The fact is that when a party does overthrow one of the two parties in power in America, they will have proven themselves and won the heart of America. This party will do this through painting a new vision of America for the people to see. A vision that has efficient solutions to America's current problems and how those solutions will greatly prevent the conquered problem from rising again. This is what the new party would stand for. This is the party that will fix America.
