Party philosophy

I was hoping to find a document which defined The Democrat Party, a party philosophy so to speak which would help people decide whether they were a republican or democrat. If you can help, I would sure appreciate it. I have been looking for well over a decade, and don't really understand how anyone can make such an important decision without knowing what each individual group stands for.

America

We have gotten lost in competitoin of parties the word politician has become a bad word and nobody seems to know the true meaning of the word even politicians.

Parties are the destruction of America we need to get back to what is good for America,

We need to encourage grass roots community groups and some how get access to city counsel meetings to more than the less than one percent of the population that will fit in most city counsel chambers.

We need to encourage people to get involved in the Government if we are to survive as The United States Of America.

Politicians must stop spreading lies like "you cannot fight city hall, us Government or IRS" and allow and encourage organized debate of the issues

" People Grow Up "

I've read The Philosphy of the Republican Party on what they believe. I can see some truth in it, because I am a reasonable thinking person. Having said that, They, the Republican Party has not practice what it preaches and is a hypocrite of its own philosophy. The Last eight years of Republican rule has proven this to be true by the rejection from the majority of Americans in the 2008 election. The Philosophy of the Democratic Party also have some truth I believe makes sense, but they too have a problem with hypocrisy, which make them no better than their counterparts. Both parties have something to offer and need to come together for the American People and "Grow Up". We need a government that really cares about the Americans People and upholds the constitution of our nation set fourth by its framers. If this can't be done, than the great country we claim to be, the began of hope, and justice for all, is a lie.
