Idealogically, the Democratic Party of today is meant to put the people before profits. However, the name of this party has changed. For example, Republicans will brag that Lincoln was Republican, but what was Republican then is now the Democratic party. And I must disagree that Democrats go against anthing that Republicans try to do, it is just that the Democrats care more about the people of the United States than oil and money unlike our Republican leaders.

Democrat.  No.  Socialism does not work.  Neither does conservatism, which is one of the greatest scourges of human history.  Extremism is always bad for America.  That is why Democrats have been willing to fight fascists and communists alike, when Republicans would - and did - cut and run, and why Democrats have always supported the operations in Afghanistan.  "Of the people, by the people, for the people" is not a socialist tenet; how far Republicans have fallen from the height Abraham Lincoln set them upon!  Democrats won't turn America socialist; the idea that they would is just one of the many lies told by conservatives for the past hundred years or so.  For all their supposed morality, conservatives have proven to be the most corrupt and immoral of all; before Mark Foley there was Sulla of Rome.

Democrat = Left leaning\nCommunist = Left leaning\nSocialist = Left leaning\n\nIt becomes clear that while all three would like to sky rocket taxation, they themselves would like to remain exempt.  Detestable

Not all democrats are on the left fringe or liberal.  Point is very few democrats are for those things.  It is his trade policy and views on foriegn affairs and economics that make dem or rep, social issues are for liberals and conservatives.\n\nHe very well could be a Democrat.

The Republican and Democratic parties are so big and their bases are so broad, that their are hardly any issues that they can all agree on.  Usually it is based on the views of specific candidates for those parties, for that you can go to their websites to see where they stand on issues.

First, lets define democracy (and thus, being democratic): \nde·moc·ra·cy NOUN: \n1-Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. \n2-A political or social unit that has such a government. \n3-The common people, considered as the primary source of political power. \n4-The principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community. \n\nThere are people in both parties who agree with these principles. There are an equal (or greater number of people) who prefer to be 'herded around' by the media, be it FOX or ABC. I, and most of the democratic-leaning independents I know, put little faith in the corporate controlled media. I do know a few conservative Republicans, my mother for one, who believe everything they see on FOX news. \n\nAs for being democratic, I believe the country has strayed from being a democracy. The government is still a government by the people, but more and more power is being wielded by corporations and special interest groups. The common people are no longer the 'primary source of political power'. This is the fault of both parties. As for definition #4, democrats tend to believe in this one more than republicans. So if both parties believe in #1 and #2 in principle, #3 has been subverted by both parties, and #4 leans heavily on the Democratic party side, I ask you this:\n \nWhich party is not democratic in thinking?\n\nDemocracy or being democratic has nothing to do with being 'herded around'. It has everything to do with 'social equality and respect'.\n\nRepublicans, on the other hand, believe in the US as a republic. The definition is very similar to the definition of democracy, but #4 is curiously absent.
