Factions Begins

212 years after President Washington warned against the formation of political parties, they have by many accounts become a dominating force in politics. These bodies have fostered a discourse, which has often polarized the electorate. The result is Factions - WRGW’s online forum where members of the GW community will debate the issues facing the nation.

Just days until the 2008 Presidential Election, issues like the economy, healthcare, Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a variety of other issues will be debated online by five members of the George Washington College Democrats and five College Republicans. In a format inspired by the Political Arena on Politico.com, a moderator from WRGW will pose a question to the forum and designated members chosen by each organization will engage in conversation. Other people, whether they be affiliated with the CD’s or CR’s or not, are free to weigh in.
