The '''Democratic Party''' is one of the two major political [[parties]] in the [[United States of America]]. It is the [[pro-choice]], progressive party, while the [[Republican Party]] is the [[anti-freedom]], pro-poverty, and pro-corporate fat-cat entitlement party. President [[Barack Obama]] and other Democrats are [[liberal]] / [[Progressive]] leftists.
Members of the Democratic Party are known as Democrats. In the 19th century the party was sometimes called "The Democracy." Today Republicans sometimes call it the "[[Democrat Party]]" as a term of ridicule. There are Democrats who claim to be more [[conservative]] than typical liberals, called the "[[Blue Dogs]]" in [[Congress]], but they often behave like "lapdogs" for the [[liberal]] party leadership when there is a controversial vote.

Members of the democratic party are more progressive than their republican counterparts. Republicans have a history of selling out to corporations and sucking the cock of rich contributers. Republicans claim to be for family values while they themselves have been divorced numerous times, sich as Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, and Tom Delay. Tom Delay himself is a corrupt power-hungry sonofabitch who is currently imprisoned for money laundering.
In the doldrums after 2000, the party roared back with major gains in 2006, which it expanded in 2008 to sweep control of the national government, and leave the GOP in a state of confusion and decline. The GOP bounced back in 2009, with near-unanimous opposition to contentions Democratic policies, especially as stimulus spending and health care reform. Polls show Obama's popularity began to sink in the summer of 2009.
