In current times(this century), the Republican party believes that unrestrained capitalism can be relied upon to find the best and most efficient solution to the needs of the nation. This is evidenced in the relaxing of environmental controls, oversight of food & drugs, lax business regulations, a shifting of taxes from corporations to people.\nThe Democratic party believes that unrestrained capitalism has been guilty of great abuses in the past and it is the role of government to regulate and control the powerful on behalf of the American citizens, including financial safety nets for the weak and helpless so that this  rich nation does not have the scourge of poverty.

OK break out your dictionary:\nliberal:\na-Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. \nb-Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. \n\nI am a liberal. I volunteer at food pantries and soup kitchens. I donate to Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army. Most of these groups are run by Christian organizations, although I don't consider them conservative.\n\nLet's define conservative:\na-Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.\nb-a supporter or advocate of traditional ideas and behavior\n\nWhich of these 2 definitions fits better with "helping your fellow man"? I think it fits better with liberalism, (Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, free from bigotry) not conservatism (tending to oppose change).\n\nThe reason "liberals" complained about Bush's Supreme Court picks is because they were afraid of what these people would do to the Constitution and Bill of Rights if given the chance.\n\nPick up a history book sometime. Remember who championed the Civil Rights movement? Kennedy - a liberal democrat. Who started Social Security? FDR - a liberal Democrat. Who started Habitat for Humanity? Jimmy Carter - a liberal Democrat. Notice a pattern here?

DixieCrat wasn't just a term meaning southern conservative Democrat, it was a real party (it's official name was the "State's Rights party")formed as a 3rd party in 1948, with Strom Thurmond as it's presidential candidate.(here was their official platform in 1948, including segregation- http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/dixiecrat1.html)\n\nit pretty much fell apart after the 1948 election.\nBasically, a dixiecrat is a person that stands by the old line democrat platform of segregationist policies (the Democrats used to be the conservative party, and the Republican party was the progressive party- this started to change between the election cycles of 1932 and 1940 with FDR)- the dixiecrats were formed in response to Truman's integration of the armed services and the overall democrat civil rights plank.\n\nBasically in answer to your question,  no there really aren't any people around anymore that believe in the Democratic party but are against it's policies.  Even "yellow dog" Democrats are no longer the type of people that support the party without supporting it's causes.  \n\nThe death knell for the dixiecrats was when Thurmond switched over to the Republican party...the rest fell in line behind him like dominos.

1.\nA. To make an accusation against.\nB. To charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal.\n2. To challenge the validity of; try to discredit: impeach a witness's credibility.\n\n    Usage Note: When an irate citizen demands that a disfavored public official be impeached, the citizen clearly intends for the official to be removed from office. This popular use of impeach as a synonym of “throw out” (even if by due process) does not accord with the legal meaning of the word. As recent history has shown, when a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official's removal from office. In strict usage, an official is impeached (accused), tried, and then convicted or acquitted. The vaguer use of impeach reflects disgruntled citizens' indifference to whether the official is forced from office by legal means or chooses to resign to avoid further disgrace.\n\n    Word History: Nothing hobbles a President so much as impeachment, and there is an etymological as well as a procedural reason for this. The word impeach can be traced back through Anglo-Norman empecher to Late Latin impedicre, “to catch, entangle,” from Latin pedica, “fetter for the ankle, snare.” Thus we find that Middle English empechen, the ancestor of our word, means such things as “to cause to get stuck fast,” “hinder or impede,” “interfere with,” and “criticize unfavorably.” A legal sense of empechen is first recorded in 1384. This sense, which had previously developed in Old French, was “to accuse, bring charges against.”

He has already said that he will caucus with the Democrats.  That makes him, effectively, a democrat.  Sorry sweetheart, obviously you haven't done your homework.\n\nps. If you don't know what caucus means, just write me and I'll school ya.  Or you could just remain ignorant.

Reublican's are just leaning on the fact that they are strong on national security issues. National Security has been carrying the Repiblican party since 9/11 and will continue to do so until the Democrats come up with some real ideas other than Bush is wrong. They keep running on this platform and they keep loosing elections.

Some democrat ideas are good, not all republican ideas are bad.\n\nThis president has done things the dems proposed in the past but he get assailed by them anyway.  He's reached out to them only to get spit in the face.  Kennedy helped with NCLB now he blames the president for all the problems and calls him cheap names.\n\nThe dems used to be honorable (as a group of politicians could be) now they're just the party of hypocrisy and denigration.

Go to the democrats.org and gop.org websites. You'll find the information there. Just rephrase it; it should take about one hour, or two if you're a slow writer like me.

I don't know. I suppose you are referring to politicians...because given the number of democratic citizens out there I'm sure one has used it in a debate w/ a fellow citizen sometime this week.  Though they do tend to mudsling. \n\nThis is all I could find online for you. Sorry...(below)\n\nBest of Luck!

What it means is the repuglicans that answered you are blind and cannot see what is going on. They have bought into Rush Limbaugh or fox news and are ignorant to how dangerous this Military act is.

No to both.\nLiberals are generally people who view individual liberties as paramount. They also tend to believe in the common good and are generally more open-minded and generous. The democratic party use to adhere to theses thoughts plus they were pro-worker. Liberals tend to run the gamut of political parties and are found in the democratic party more so than in the republican party. The democratic party is not completely made up of liberals. Since the Reagan years many democrats have adopted a neoliberal, pro-corporation "free trade" ideology (Clinton, Biden, Lieberman, etc..) and are anything but liberal. \nI hope this answers your question.

The people who say this are confusing this Democratic party with the Democratic party of FDR.  Simply put, its a totally different party.  The current Dem. party is the party of no idea, the party of obstruction and the anti-Juedo-Christian values party.
