You do know that the Democratic party was the party that defended slavery right? Probably not because liberals don't have a clue.
Point being that if you did a little research you'd understand that republicans want what is best for the country as a whole. The liberals want what's good for them.
 
Do you know the difference between republicans of 1860 and republicans of today? Probably not.
 
if you did your homework you would understand that the parties have changed over the years and both parties do what they think is best for the country that's why people chose because their is different opinions
 
lol, that is great. I was wondering if anyone was ever going to point that out. Lincoln is rolling in his grave listening to all this comparison. Obama and Lincoln's ideas for this country are completely opposite of each other.
 
I was a Republican before Bush, but him and his cronies twisted and ruined the GOP in way that will take a decade to repair until they are back to being the real Republican Party again-
 
You do know that the Republicans were liberal back then, right?

@LiberalCusser: "Democrats actually CREATED slavery (which was against federal law), and the republican party was created almost exclusively on the issue of abolition."

Sectional politics also played a role in the antebellum years. You know, as almost everyone does, that the politicans that opposed the abolishment of slavery were Southern Democrats and not nothern Democrat because they had little to no interest in Southern politics. The Radical Republicans who favored for absolute rights for African Americans were feared by the border states
 
Your a perfect example of all in the kool aid not knowing the flavor
the parties were revised during that time.
 
The Republican Party of George W. Bush is not the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln.

They are a new phenomenon which really should be called the Conservative Christian Party, but that would make it too obvious that they have no regard for the Constitution and separation of church and state.

The Republicans of Lincoln's day are now Libertarians.
 
The Democratic party did NOT defend slavery, idiot! Slavery wasn't a team sport. Your attitude of liberal vs. conservative is what is helping to cave in this country. Try opening your mind and placing people and facts first and stop showing your ignorance and childishness in print.
My Gawd, when are adults going to take over this site!
 
Lincoln was hardly hard right wing, at least by our current definition.

Lincoln opposed the states' rights to determine for themselves whether to allow slavery, and the amendments he supported removed other privileges that the states enjoyed.

And while the Democratic Party once had a large amount of people who supported slavery and/or Jim Crow laws, those "Dixiecrats" eventually quit the party, and aligned themselves with the Republican party.

Not that any of that matters- What matters is how the parties act NOW.
 
why should the democratics of today get blamed for what their ancestors did? that's like saying white people should be blamed for what they did to the aboriginal population.
