	The Democratic Party
		Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic Party in 1792 as a congressional caucus to fight for the Bill of Rights and against the elitist Federalist Party.
		In 1798, the "party of the common man" was officially named the Democratic-Republican Party and in 1800 elected Jefferson as the first Democratic President of the United States.
		Democratic Party leader William Jennings Bryan led a movement of agrarian reformers and supported the right of women's suffrage, the progressive graduated income tax and the direct election of Senators.

		The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption.
		The Democratic party mostly supports affirmative action as a way to redress past discrimination and ensure equitable employment regardless of ethnicity or gender, but opposes the use of quotas in hiring.
		The Democratic Party is generally pro-environment and favors conservation of natural resources and together with strong environmental laws against pollution.

	Italy’s centre-left and Europe’s future Denis MacShane - openDemocracy
		Germany's Scial Democratic Party (SPD) was hostile to the "common market" (as the EEC was routinely known) in the 1950s, as are French communists and Trotskyist groups or maverick socialists like Arnaud Montebourg today.
		European political parties and groupings cannot be pure sects, seeking to anoint themselves as Cathars at the European level, when at national level a new politics that is fluid and open to all politicians and parties that can share common goals is coming into being.
		The Democratic Party of Italy can be an important force for the realignment of European politics and build bridges between Europe's parties of the left, as part of the effort to regain the ability to speak to each other and act effectively on the basis of unity and solidarity.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Americas \| Profile: The Democratic Party
		The Democratic Party first emerged in the 1790s under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, organised around the protection of agricultural interests and opposed to concentration of power in the hands of the federal government.
		As the minority party - reliant on southern support and the votes of ethnic minorities in the North - the Democrats began to identify with the more marginalised groups such as poor farmers in the west and those left behind by the growth of big business in the late 19th Century.
		In 2008 the Democrats will be hoping to take advantage of the continuing unpopularity of the war, retain their advantage in Congress and take control of the presidency as well.

	The Enemyboard :: View topic - Democratic Party outlines pro-war agenda for US elections (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The right-wing, pro-war position of the Democratic Party was on full display Tuesday as the party leadership presented a new report that criticizes the Bush administration for failing to adequately defend the interests of American militarism.
		The response from the Democratic Party is to argue that they, not the Republicans, are the more consistent proponents of American “national security” and “defense,” i.e., domestic repression and war.
		The general attitude of the Democrats is made clear from the very beginning of the report, which cites approvingly comments from William Kristol, one of the leading ideological figures behind the militarism of the Bush administration.

	US Presidential Politics in 2004: Part II. More Democrat Baggage
		Democrats had often pledged to "end welfare as we know it", for example, and they proposed a plan replete with vague generalities, but they took no initiative to enact that plan when they controlled all three branches of government.
		The Democrats traditionally are the party of big government and a strong public sector.

	TruthForce! \| Democratic Revolution?
		The US Democratic Party is celebrating not only its takeover of the US House of Representatives, the US Senate and the majority of the governorships in the country.
		In addition, the Democrats are delighted at the resignation of the highly controversial Donald Rumsfeld, former US Secretary of Defense and architect of the Iraq invasion.
		However, for the democratic forces in the US, within and outside the Democratic Party, this is the time to work even harder to ensure that the victory of the Democratic Party will not end up basically advancing the same hegemonic stance of the US in the world.

	Green Left - Cover Story: Why the US Democratic Party is shrinking
		This is fine for the Republicans, traditionally the party of employers and the better-off.
		The choice is simple: expand the electorate to include the people on the bottom, or move the party to the centre to compete for the votes of the smaller pool.
		A party and its national candidates who cannot, or will not, fight for the issues of low income communities of immigrants and people of colour, even at the risk of losing support on the right, can't attract them to the polls.

	The US Democratic Party: A Vast Sleeper Cell
		Democrats want to cut and run as fast as possible from Iraq, betraying the Iraqis who supported us and rewarding our enemies--exactly as they did to the South Vietnamese under Ford.
		After a half-dozen years of Democrat presidents creating a looming disaster in Vietnam--with Kennedy ordering the assassination of our own ally in the middle of the war and Johnson ham-handedly choosing bombing targets from the Oval Office--in 1969, Nixon became president and the world was safe again.
		Democrats haven't admitted error in rejecting Ford's pleas on behalf of South Vietnam because there are still dangerous foreigners trying to kill Americans.

	A US Democratic Party bereft of principles
		The polarization of the US economy accelerated during the presidencies of George the Father and Bill Clinton because both parties catered to the corporate elites.
		This strategy worked when the Democrats had something to sell, namely their control of at least one of the key bastions of political power, be it the Presidency, or one or both Houses of Congress.
		Another Democratic Congressman, Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, who denounced the impending war against Iraq and may be a presidential candidate in 2004, won with 74 per cent of the vote in his district.

	US Democratic Party Failures
		Firstly, that many Democrats act as if one or other document not only will tell the truth but that it will be a revelation that major media corporations will expound to all.
		Secondly, that many Democrats present their candidate as if he were a person who prefers `to play by the rules' and lose rather than fight `dirty' and win.
		In the US, the belief in a `second chance' is part of the culture.

	Lessons of the Democratic debacle in California
		The debacle for the Democrats is even more stark in light of the parade of party celebrities who made the pilgrimage to California to appear with Davis and show their support.
		The last thing the Democrats wanted to do was provide a focus for the growing hatred for the right-wing clique in the White House, because that could unleash a social explosion and threaten the basic interests of the financial oligarchy.
		All that remains for the Democratic Party, its credibility shattered by its humiliation in the recall election, is to move further to the right and collaborate with the Republican governor in launching new attacks on the working class in California.

	How the Democrats assess their election debacle
		Instead, he wrote, the party had to be bold and “stand for something.” Democrats had to be “the defenders of ordinary Americans against the power of our burgeoning plutocracy.” Even to speak of a “burgeoning plutocracy” places Krugman on the outer fringe of the Democratic Party.
		The decay of the Democratic Party is one manifestation of a broader phenomenon—the erosion of the popular base of both bourgeois parties.
		Only a party that is openly and frankly opposed to capitalism and turns resolutely to the working class can serve as an instrument of struggle of the broad masses of the population.

		Dean promised to plunge immediately into the effort to broaden the party's appeal in all 50 states and lead Democrats back from a bruising election in November, when they lost the White House and more seats in both houses of Congress.
		Some Democrats have questioned whether Dean, an early and fierce critic of President George W Bush and the Iraq war whose blunt talk often sparked controversy on the campaign trail, was the right choice to lead a Democratic resurgence in conservative Southern and mountain states.
		But Dean countered those concerns in recent months by wooing party leaders with promises to focus on state operations, energise the grass roots and build an army of small donors similar to the one that supported his presidential bid.

		Some Democrats have worried that his liberal image could be a detriment in areas of the country where Republicans have made strong gains in recent years.
