Sue Ellen recently moved to Texas from Alabama. She was not involved in politics in Alabama, but now, after moving to Texas, she wants to join a local party organization. Sue Ellen's main political concern is the moral decay she sees in Texas that she attributes to lower attendance at her Judeo-Christian church. Which political party would you suggest Sue Ellen join, and why?

What will be an ideal response?

An argument could be made that the Republican Party would be the best fit for Sue Ellen because its social conservative wing is primarily concerned with moral decay as the source of society's problems. She would not be a good fit for the Libertarian Party because government regulation is not an issue for her and Libertarians support social freedoms, which is the opposite of what the Republican Party supports. She would not be a good fit for the Democratic Party either, because Democrats support gay marriage and other social freedoms that are at the center of the idea of the moral decay of society.
