I am not talking about the democrat party of old during JFK, I mean the one today. Things do change, such as the slave owner party of choice was the democrat party… Today, the democrat party has completed change and has now entered into the realm of mutation.
.

I personally don’t think either party has a real plan. We can’t stop being in debt until we become a producing country instead of a consumer credit economy. Our trade deficits with countries like China need to be changed somehow. If there is a Republican, or Democrat plan that I over looked please let me know.

Or were they always socialists?

I do recall that the Democrat Party was the party of "no" when it came to Civil Rights Bills.

And vice versa.

Haven’t you ever heard of independent before? As in you could care less about republican or democrat? And while we’re on the subject, what’s the difference again between a republican and democrat?
