Will we ever see the true democrat party return?

That died with Kennedy. Read Milton Viorst's: Liberalism: a guide to it's past, present & future in American Politics. Written during the early part of Kennedy's administration. You would not recognize the Dem's platform. Back then, the main split was not so much a different view of America, but a different method of achieving a common goal. Not so today.

you're confusing words slightly the following. All conservatives are suitable wing. that is in spite of party association. the priority contained in the Republican party is that the social conservative/monetary liberals have reigned contained in the ultimate 8 years. In doing so that they abandoned many of the party platform. The Republicans actual known this particularly contained in the ultimate election. although, quite than attempt to go back to their roots which may have energized many Republicans. they chosen rather to bypass more desirable in route of the middle. The Republican party could embody conservatism as that is what wins elections for them, yet they couldn't exist contained in the hybrid type they are favoring at present. Even supposedly non secular conservatives like Gingrinch are literally calling for the party to bypass to the middle. What that is doing is fracturing the party. In that is modern-day type the Republican party is incapable of to blame administration because they haven't any defined id or platform. As for the Democrats. they have replaced little contained in the ultimate twenty or so years. the basically question will be no matter if Obama will stand adversarial to severe liberal coverage that's for particular to be pressed through the liberal congressional administration. the easy reality is that an severe swing left will be only as undesirable as something that has occurred contained in the ultimate 8 years and would not produce efficient effects. both way it would not actual remember. The Democrats now have the skill. For more desirable acceptable or worse they'll run the tutor for no less than the subsequent 2 years. Edna: You reality is misguided. in case you actual examine vote casting files on the civil rights votes because that 1933. you'll discover that ninety six% of the time Republicans have voted interior maximum human beings for civil rights. even as Democrats voted to oppose a similar votes 80% of the time. i comprehend Republicans being adversarial to civil rights is a fave Democratic rallying cry, although the information do no longer help the rhetoric. Fancy That: you've your analogy backwards. that's liberals who matter on larger authorities with more desirable centralized administration. genuine conservative believes in smaller authorities and individual duty.

I'd like to see the true Republican Party return, the one that existed before Nixon turned the GOP into the Southern Democratic Party with his Southern strategy.

Since the Republicans shifted from near the center to far right about 10 years, the Democrats had to shift a bit too to keep the nation from falling apart.

The Southern Democrats are now the Tea Party.

Truman fought for health care, is that something republicans fight for? Kennedy abstained from using force, is that a Republican attribute?

You NEED to explain why would you say they would be seen as Republicans because it makes no sense.

The days of people weighing both sides of a issue are long gone. Now people will argue over the color of the sky

So you want 2 Republican parties?

After the southern dems left the party, it became something new.

No Way, Big Corporations have Hi-Jacked our government (both parties) and are holding it hostage to make more profits!

Nope.. both parties are clearly owned by the corporations
