In order to make a rational choice of political parties, one should study the published party platforms of all national political parties.  In the cases of the two predominant parties, Republican and Democratic, one should carefully consider the performance in office of their elected officials.  One often finds that many elected officials write, promote, support, and vote for passage of laws which are contrary to their respective party platforms.  Far too many laws are passed which are completely repugnant to the United States Constitution and/or to the Pennsylvania State Constitution. 

Remember that the constitutions are the Highest law of the nation and the states, respectively.
