The Democratic Party and the Republican Party have a long rivalry that predates the American Civil War. Their rivalry is based upon issues much more pressing than any foreign policy dispute that America faces today. This rivalry is based upon the application of human rights and natural rights in the social policies in the United States. These terms, now used interchangeably by most Democrats and Republicans, are the base of all the modern social debates between Republicans and Democrats. But where did
As a registered republican voter, I feel it is important to write and share my opinion and observations of the recent republican primaries and the recent republican convention. For the first time in my 33 years voting as a republican, this is the first time I have been ashamed and embarrassed to admit my party affiliation, nor have I felt this level of disgust for the Republican Party, particularly what I would refer to as the Establishment, or the current republican congressmen currently in office
The Republican Party in Philadelphia has not won a mayor's race since 1951. It is said that the future of the Republican Party in Philadelphia is not a competition for Democrats since more people prefer democrats instead of Republicans.

1. The Republican effort to write a once-in-a-generation bill to cut taxes appears to be the last, best hope for the fractured party to find some common ground. But it’s also “bit like having a baby to save a failing marriage,” our reporters have concluded. Tensions abound, including over sharp reductions in how much Americans may save in 401(k) accounts. Still, party leaders hope to introduce the bill next week in the House and deliver it to the president by Christmas. Above, Senator Mitch McConnell
If there is a main difference, it is in regard to the nature of government. In comparison to the Republican Party when it was first founded, the Democrats tended to be more slanted to strong state government and weaker federal government. That is, "states rights" supporters were more likely to be Democrats than Republicans, even into the mid-20th century. In the last fifty years or so, those tables have turned. From the 1820’s to 1850’s the Democrats won all but two presidential elections. During
Democrats and Republicans to debate and campaign for what they believe and stand for. This can bring up a lot of serious issues that both parties have different views on. Everybody has a different opinion and some believe that the Republican party has offended minorities in America, Latino’s, homosexuals, women, etc. There is a reason for this and not just an offensive generalization.

Philips argued the Republican Party would enjoy a period of unparalleled success beginning in the 1970's that would culminate in victories in national and regional elections. Conservatives would achieve these victories by taking advantage of the racial animus created through the struggle
differences are between the Democrats and the Republicans. Both parties though, dominate America’s political landscape, but are exceedingly different from each other.

On the left side of the political spectrum was Revolutionaries, Radical Republicans, and Moderate Republicans. Revolutionaries were extremely opposed to slavery, and wanted not only for slaves to be freed, but also for them to have equal rights to white people. They wanted to completely turn the current system upside-down and were willing to use violence and break away from the system in order to do so. Revolutionaries were mostly free blacks, and their bitterness from being enslaved was a factor

The Federalists and Democratic-Republicans almost never agreed about anything. The founders of the parties had ideas about how to run the country that were so different that they had to create two separate political parties.
