Democrats

The Democratic party is an extremely interesting party to take an at-a-glance view of. There are both positive and negatives about the party, but when combined with Republicans, create a fun to watch political enviroment.

In my view, their strengths include an ability to adapt their party platform to the current needs of society, and the other is their progressive attitude towards law making. Both of these can be seen In the recent passage of the Health Care Bill. The Democrats saw a need to create a bill, and saw that they would have the publics support of the bill, and while it took them a long time, passed it through both houses and into law. This being said however, there are definently some negatives to the Democratic party. One is their inability to have a general consent on certain issues, and the other is their lack of discipline. Both of these negativly effect the democratic party on the national stage. This was also seen during the passage of the Health Care Bill, where it seemed Nancy Pelosi had her hands full just trying to pull votes from her own party. The Democrats have always been an interesting party to watch, and hopefully will be for the foreseable future.
