What are the major arguments for and againsts political parties?
1. Demoralize Public Opinion:Political Parties diffuse public opinion by their propaganda and statement of facts. They carry on one-­sided propaganda and often act upon the principle of Suppressio veri (suppression of truth) and Suggest us falsi (propagation of falsehood); Every political party uses all the means at its disposal to win over public opinion in its favour.Political parties defend their own policies and offer an unhealthy criticism of other parties. Naturally public opinion gets confused and demoralized. They appeal to emotion rather than reason! They appeal in the name of flag, symbols, slogans. They appeal in the name of persons and personalities rather than principles and policies.2. Offer Opportunity to ambitious Type of Persons:Political parties simply offer opportunities to political ring leaders, demagogues, careerists and political adventurers. The really intellectual people get a little chance of success in political life. In the words of C.R. Dass, a great Congress leader, politics is a game of scoundrels.A person, who knows the art of public speaking and who has the knack of collecting suffrage in his favour, becomes a political leader. Men of art, science or literature arc generally election shy.They always keep themselves away from the sordid game of politics. Nepotism, jobbery and spoils system flourish under the party system. Castcism, provincialism, linguism, and communalism dominate in elections.3. Curblndividuality:Political parties curb independent thinking. Every political party has an iron discipline of its own. The members of the political party arc supposed to cry ditto to what their political bosses say. The position of the members is reduced to that of camp followers.A person having independent views of his own has no place in a political party. Independent members are generally turned out of the parties. The very threat of expulsion keeps the different members mum and silent. In­dividuality in fact gets curbed under the pressure of party discipline- However, without discipline there shall be chaos and anarchy.Neither the government will be stable nor policies will be consistent. It avoids political corruption and parties can resist vested interests better than individuals could.4. Loyality to the State Suffers:The party system encourages party mentality which leads to disruption and separatism in the state. National interests are subordinated to party interests which assume topmost priority. Consequently, loyalty to the state takes the form of loyalty to the party. But no party can exist unless it believes in national integrity.
How does the presidential primary or caucus work in each state and in the National Party Conventions?
ok I will try to make this short. The primaries and caucuses in an election years start in January and go until June. Each party gets one primary or caucus per state and assigns a number of delegates for each state. In a primary, Americans formally vote for their candidate and those with the most votes receive the most delegates. Exactly how and how many is determined by the party and the state. A caucus is less formal. The BEST way to explain it is in this video: http://www.whytuesday.org/2007/10/23/iow... The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention. If there are 10 candidates still left standing at the end of the primaries then they all go to the convention, however the primaries usually whittle down the choices to a few. Every party gets only ONE nominee for the general election.

What is the oganizational surcture of a political party?
For the Republican and Democrat party it starts local and goes to county, state and then national. At the county it starts with the precinct committeeman. This person is the local representative of the party. They talk to people in their neighborhood and take what the people say to the legislative committee and the county committee. They elect party officers for the legislative district and the county party. They also vote on the county parties platform and vote on who gets to run a candidate. Precinct committeeman can be elected by fellow precinct committeeman to the state committee. The job is basically the same but on a bigger scale. Now they represent the whole county that they were elected from in the state party. They vote on the state party budget, platform, candidates and they vote on who goes to the national party. This is the top level. People in this position make up the national committee. This is the same job as being in the county committee and the state committee but for the whole country. Now they represent the whole state that they were elected from in the national party. They vote on the same things like the budget and things like that but now they also vote on who will run for president. After the primaries they go to the national committee that you see on TV and vote for the confirm the candidate. They also vote for national party officers.
Why are all of the chairman Republican?
In the US congress, the party that holds the majority gets to select the chairmen & women, and decide who will run important committees. In the 2014 mid-term elections, the Republicans won the most seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate; so, as the majority party, they became able to name members of their own party to all of the major committees. When the Democrats controlled the Senate or the House (or both), it was their party that named these committee leaders.
