Is it the goal of the Democratic Party to move the US to socialism?

It's time that we had a government that didn't get drunk on power, line there own pockets and give us people the dirty end of the stick.\nIt doesn't matter which party is in power, the planning departments and generally all departments are full of socialists who think that it's their job to hinder any and all efforts made by Joe public. they need a good shake up and bringing into the 21st century.

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.

I am sure there are, but why would you want to do that?  Do you really think that you will get honesty in these websites?  If you do, I got a nice shiny new bridge to sell ya, foe cheap!  There are only 2 main parties in America, Dem's and Repubs.  Dems are socialists, Repubs are supposed to be conservatives, but many of them aren't.  Both are corrupt.  Both are full of liars.  Both are full of politicians (not leaders).  What most informed citizens end up doing is choosing the lesser of 2 evils, unfortunately.  May I suggest you start by studying the political history.  Then learn as much as you can independently about the parties and their politicians.  Be sure and note how often they contradict themselves, thinking nobody will notice.  There is no easy way or simple website adequate enough when it comes to choosing such a thing.  Don't try to oversimplify the process.  Do your homework, as tedious (and boring) as it may be.

No because both the top Democrats and top Republicans work together.  Let's be real-all politicians always say "it's time for a change."\nOr "we will do things differently."  \n\nThen in four years the people vote the ahole out and a politician from the other party says\n"it's time for a change."  Or "we will do things differently."  See above...\n\nThe American people (as all are) are fooled by this.  When I studied South American Politics there was always a caudillo...someone running saying "I'm for the people" or "I will give out free land, etc."\n\nThen when they got elected, they were just another dictator.  Same here-both Dems and Repubs say anything to get elected and both work for Corporate America.  \n\nCorporate America is anti-family and not on the side of the middle class.  Even if a vaginatator is elected (that's dictator for you politically correct folk) she will screw over the masses.\nWhy?  Cause if she goes against corporate America she will be assasinated.\n\nUnited we stand, divided we vote for jerk offs.

Thats what the socialists (democrats) do, so it must be ok.\n\n\nedit* actually, in all honesty, that is what government does.  It spends the states money on its citizens.  It's just that the democrats want to give things to the people who do not contribute.

It's ending right now. If the Democrats don't take a majority in both houses as predicted, they will certainly make gains. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way. Now all the Democrats need to do is nominate a strong presidential candidate who won't let himself (or herself) be defined by the Republicans.

Yes. They keep up the mantra of "no tax breaks for the rich" but they fail to mention who they consider "rich", which is anyone who isn't on welfare and voting democrat. In any event, they are very much in favor of wealth redistribution, which is a basic tenet of socialism, along with "universal health care" (SOCIALIZED medicine), and government control of property (EPA mandates, and eminent domain if it takes property from owners to advance higher tax collections). Sounds like a socialist to me.

The problem with the democratic party is they have no unifying voice.  The dems are their own worst enemy.  The republicans already have several powerful presidential candidates while the democrats bicker about leadership in the house.  To answer your question, no, 2 years is not enough time.  I do like many of the new moderate dems in office, but they are stuck behind a host of liberals that have their own agendas.  Too bad, we could use moderate leadership now, not 8 years from now.

You need to get out of the support for the Democrats and Republicans. You need to look to parties that are not financially supported by multinational corporations. America has enough people, and enough consumers that it doesn't need to go overseas to manufacture goods cheaper and make bigger profits than ever.

Many Democrats want us to lose.\nBUT, we haven't lost yet.

No, just look at us here in America.  Though suffering a decode of defeats the Democratic party still have a huge number of followers, all waiting for the chance to vote themselves a welfare check.\n\nLook at the poor souls in New Orleans they sat there waiting for the Government to help them before even considering helping themselves.\n\nIt is a truely pathetic side of the human race, but Socialism in every method it has ever been tried has failed, because it rewards laziness and punishes success.  Relying on the government is a one way ticket to despair.

capitalist..but the liberals want to make it socialist

It very well could be. Liberals demand government basically take care of ALL people basket to casket. What PRICE do WE as individuals pay for that? Ask a Russian or any Eastern European immigrant you happen to meet. I know 2 and they both say the Democrats sound like communists. Just an observation.

I would likely support it. We need a more centralist party. One without the extreme views of both R's an D's. One that looks out for the interests of the middle class.

I think the ideals of the Republican party are superior.  Unfortunately, they are not currently practicing these ideals.  So you want to vote Democrat to give Republicans a spanking for their corruption and ineffectiveness.  But you realize Democrats will cause problems for this country because they do not understand reality.  So for this election, you flip a coin and pray!

No!! That is not our job, nor a very good way to spread democracy!! If the Communist were doing the same thing wonder what our position would be then?\n\nThe ironic thing is we are NOT a democracy!! If we were George Bush would have lost the 2000 election as he did not win the majority of the votes, Gore did!
