<p>State politics are often shaped by federal government politics and policies. The state politics in one state may be different in another. Federal government politics are the same for the whole nation. These Federal government politics play a big role in state politics.</p>
<p>Government politics and policies have always affected state politics. Government politics basically are the governing authority over a certain political unit. The government has the authority to make laws, solve disputes and issue administrative decisions. National government politics often affect state politics and policies. State politics often affect people of certain states on different levels. There are different state politics laws for every state. For example, in Massachusetts, gay marriage is legal and two people of the same sex can legally get married. In other states this isn’t possible due to the government politics and politics they put on the state politics and government. The purpose of government politics is to maintain basic security and public order. There are different government politics for the nation. State politics cover a state, while local politics and policies cover the rules and regulations for certain towns or cities, as opposed to the state as a whole. There may be government politics and laws that cover the whole nation, those laws may be different with state politics and they may even be more detailed for the local government. One major government politics issue that changes from state to state politics is education. Certain state politics and policies have different requirements for the different school systems, depending on what area they live in. These state politics are different because school systems may be drastically different even if they are in the same state. Some urban areas have schools that offer more scholarships and financial aid, due to the lower grades and lower income in those urban areas. Government politics is very important for people and has expanded since the beginning of history. The role of government politics has gone from basic concerns, like state politics, to expanding government policies like economical laws and policies and foreign affairs. But government politics do have an effect on state politics. Even though state laws and policies differ from state to state, federal government laws can overrule those laws. For example, a person 20 years ago may have gotten charged in California as a sex offender, but now thanks to government politics like Megan’s Law, that sex offender will be in a database, available for everyone to search and find him. There are many state politics that vary from state to state. Federal government politics are put in use for the whole nation. Laws and policies are put in place to keep order and protect the citizens.</p>
<p>Federal government politics are very different from state and local politics and policies. They each have their own role for different areas and situations. Many people can benefit from the federal, state and local government laws and policies.</p>

<p>American politics have always been covered in schools around the nation. But now, race and politics are a subject that has been brought into schools and American politics classes. Children are learning more about the race and politics that shaped the country they live in.</p>
<p>American politics covers the federal government, state government, legislature, presidency, judiciary power, elections, political parties, and political culture of the United States   of America. Schools all over the nation have been teaching American politics classes since education started. Now, race and politics are being covered more than ever in schools. Children are learning about issues concerning race and politics and different race and politic laws and cases. Now that America nominated its first black President, race and politics are being discussed more in schools all over the nation. More and more kids are taking American politics classes to learn how race and politics play a major role in their lives. Children’s opinions could be swayed easily by the media’s coverage of race and politics, but in their American politics classes they learn the real truth of race and politics and why they are so important to our country. American politics is a serious class that helps kids learns the ins and outs of America’s government, since the beginning, starting with George Washington and now the most recent president, Barack Obama. The 2008 Presidential Election was monumental in American politics. Never has race and politics been discussed more than in 2008. And children are learning more about the power of race in political situations. More children are voicing their opinions. The more and more they learn about politics, the more and more they can express their feelings on certain situations. For example, a Florida teenager who is president of the NYRA’s southeast Florida chapter says that more teenagers should be allowed to vote, since 80% of them hold jobs before they graduate high school. This is incredible. There are many children who are learning a lot from discussing race and politics in the classroom. These American politics classes are really helping children get a grasp on the truth about race and politics. These American politics classes really allow children to learn about the history of America and where it has been going in terms of race and politics. Children, as young as kindergarteners and as old as high school seniors, are discussing American politics in a way they never have before. Their knowledge can help them form better opinions regarding race and politics and hopefully the children can spread their knowledge to others and help future generations get a better grasp on where American politics should be heading.</p>
<p>American politics have changed. More and more children are now learning about race and politics in the classroom and gaining knowledge about how American politics work and how they shaped our history and will continue to shape the future of America and the rest of the world.</p>

<p>Media politics have always been based on the system of providing clear, unbiased political information to the public.

Cnn politics have become on of the top media politics stations in the country do to its analysis of political situations.</p>
<p>Cnn politics cover media politics 24 hours a day, seven days a week with a dedicated staff. Cnn politics rely heavily on Cnn’s global team of thousands of professionals. Cnn, also known as the Cable News Network was founded in 1980 by Ted Turner. Cnn politics started to be taken very seriously when cnn covered the Gulf War in 1991. Cnn politics was the one of the three media politics stations that covered the Gulf War, able to communicate from Iraq during the first few hours of the bombing. Cnn politics newscasters then became household names and since then media politics have been trusted to be covered by cnn politics newscasters. Cnn politics newscasters were also the first to cover the September 11<sup>th</sup> attacks on the World Trade  Center. Cnn is known to cover media politics in an unbiased way. Cnn politics also covered the media politics of the 2008 Presidential Election. Many other media politics stations favored certain political parties, for example, Fox News is known to favor the Republican Party and during the 2008 Presidential Election, Fox News really focused on John McCain’s abilities and Barack Obama’s faults. Cnn politics did not cover the 2008 Election with any bias. Like other media politics issues, Cnn covered the election 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They also covered the war in Iraq constantly since it begun. Cnn politics are respected in the media politics community and by the public.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_7" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 490px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7" title="Politics Today" src="http://www.fpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Politics-Today.jpg" alt="Politics Today" width="480" height="270" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Politics Today</p></div>
<p>Many people msnbc politics to follow the real clear politics, but there are also many people who think msnbc politics favored the Democrats in the 2008 election. Was the msnbc politics coverage biased? Did msnbc actually cover the real clear politics of the 2008 election?</p>
<p>The 2008 election was a monumental political race between Barack Obama and John McCain. Much of the media covered the real clear politics of the campaign but some networks, like msnbc, were said to have been part of the “liberal media” who favored the Democratic Party and smeared the Republicans. But on the other hand, conservative media stations like Fox News were said to have favored John McCain and the Republican party. So, were the msnbc politics the real clear politics that the country needed? Basically, yes. Msnbc politics newscasters did a fair job covering the 2008 Presidential election. One of the main topics that the msnbc politics newscasters covered was the negative political ads. They used real clear politics to cover the 2008 campaign mistakes and mishaps, for both parties, Democratic and Republican. There were a lot of John McCain political commercials that took jabs at Barack Obama, smearing his campaign. Msnbc politics newscasters used real clear politics to cover this issue. Many people at John McCain rallies stood up and made comments about Barack Obama, calling him an “Arab” and a “terrorist”, which hurt McCain’s campaign. McCain responded to these people by stating that Obama was a “good family man” who would “make a good president”. Msnbc politics newscasters covered this story using real clear politics and praised presidential candidate John McCain for these statements. Media institutions like Fox News, who are known to favor the Republican Party and Conservatives,  have issues with msnbc politics and other media networks, claiming them to be too liberal and favor the Democrats. But msnbc politics newscasters make it very clear that they aren’t smearing the Republican Party, just stating the disasters that president Bush made in the last 8 years. Those mistakes by the previous Republican Party were then aired out publicly more than ever. Msnbc politics were said to have been biased, but they were really just covering the truths about the Republican Party. Msnbc politics also covered the real clear politics of the Democratic Party, like Barack Obama being involved with the terrorist William Ayers. Msnbc politics did a good job covering the 2008 election because they did not focus on the faults of the Republican Party. They covered the real clear politics of both candidates and their campaigns, both the good and the bad.</p>
<p>The nation needs to know the real clear politics of any situation. The media controls what gets covered and what doesn’t. So, f you are interested in certain matters and don’t want outside opinions, then investigate it for yourself. Don’t let the media sway your opinion. That is the freedom you have as an American.</p>

<p>Politics is a very serious subject. But in order to get through tough political times, many use political humor. Political humor is found most in political cartoons. Political cartoons can explain current political situations in a lighthearted manner and make serious issues more relatable to everyday people.</p>
<p>Political cartoons, also known as editorial cartoons, are illustrations that contain a political or social message that relate to current events and political situations. Political cartoons can usually be found in newspapers or magazines, such as Time, Parade, or the Humor Times and on the internet. There are different styles used in political cartoons but they each get the political humor across in some way to the audience. Political cartoons have been around since newspapers have been in print. There is a political cartoon titled “The Rails Splitter at Work Repairing the Union” with Andrew Johnson and Abraham Lincoln. The caption reads (Johnson) “Take it quietly Uncle Abe and I will draw it closer than ever. (Lincoln) A few more stitches Andy and the good old Union will be mended.” This political cartoon was drawn up in 1865 and pokes fun at the Union situation that was around during the time of Johnson and Lincoln. Political humor can be used to help lighten the mood of a political situation or criticize it in a satirical manor. Most cartoons poke fun at some sort of relatable real-life situation, and political cartoons do the same thing, with social matters. The political humor in political cartoons can be brought about in different ways. Most political cartoons have visual metaphors and caricatures of political figures to explain current events in politics. The purpose of political cartoons is to bring a serious political message to the public by using political humor. Just like anyone trying to get their message across and gain more followers, political cartoons try and make the reader to really think about current events in the world and make an opinion about them. There are mainly two styles in which cartoonists get their political humor across. There are political cartoons with a lot of text that usually tell a linear story in comic strip format and a more traditional style call the “nast-y” style, named after Thomas Nast. This style usually has visual metaphors and symbols like the Republican Elephant, Democratic Donkey and Uncle Sam. Both styles use political humor to get the message across.  Political cartoons cover a variety of topics from social issues to environmental policies. Political humor pokes fun at political candidates, situation, media, big business, foreign affairs, oil issues, war, etc. Most political cartoonists are skilled in the field of politics and use political humor to get their points across. You can find political cartoons in the newspapers and magazines that you subscribe to everyday.</p>
<p>If you are interested in politics and would like to get more political opinions from others just look at some political cartoons. They can open up your mind about political and social situations that are currently going on. Political humor is a great way to lighten up a political situation while still getting the message across.</p>
