Has Anyone Noticed This Difference Between the Parties?

It seems, throughout the History, at least since the Democrats started promoting big government, their structure change. Has anyone else noticed that the Democrat party seems more unified and authoritarian? All the politicians have the same message, there's one or two speakers for the party and the rest agree while the Republican party seems more like groups of people following different conservative politicians who center around the same ideals? Like, as an example, a democrat is a democrat is a democrat but a Republican who supports Chris Christie is different from a Republican who supports Rand Paul who is different from a Republican who supports Marco Rubio. I think, personally, it has to do with their policies. Since Democrats are in favor of a large government they're more used to a central authority and concentration of power while the Republicans, in favor of localized government, has a party comprised of people following individual leaders. Has anyone else noticed this or something different?

    The Democrats are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working class.

    The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

    A democracy will continue to exist up until

    the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous

    gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority

    always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from

    the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally

    collapse over loose fiscal policy

    Mainstream democrats are mostly centrist (Obama) or slightly conservative. Many Democrats are further left and don't agree with the mainstream of the Democratic Party right now. Both parties have shifted to the right, because Dems propose centrist or left of center ideas and they compromise with right wing Republicans, meaning they are at best slightly left of center IN THE MAINSTREAM or at worst slightly right of center. Republicans have a more defined ideology and set of goals and push Dems to compromise to the right, while Dems propose centrist compromises (say, public option) where leftists want Univeral Single-Payer, and Reps want full privatization. Republicans force centrists to look like leftists and leftists to look like radical communists.

    As an old lady who has lived through a dozen presidents, I'm here to tell you there are no more Democrats. These people are Progressives and they have an agenda unlike any other we have experienced since Woodrow Wilson was president.
