Like the Democratic party platform this year, the Republican platform does not mention the words "gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender." Unlike the Democratic platform, the GOP document mentions "homosexuality" - one time, in a statement supporting the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

In the aftermath of Sept. 11, the restrictionist camp found that their messaging about the "illegality" and "criminality" of illegal immigrants took on a new resonance. And they proceeded to upscale their "what don't you understand about illegal?" message, which had echoed through the anti-immigration grassroots forces, to a more conceptual framing of illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants now represented a threat to the "rule of law" inside a nation that had just come under foreign attack by foreign outlaws. Acknowledging that the immigration restrictionists have dominated the immigration debate, the Democratic Party and its allies have over the past year desperately sought to reframe the immigration crisis while at the same time attracting the allegiance of Latinos and "New Americans...

Ridgeway details the Democratic Party's platform, which demands for affordable health care, decisively to cut off the flow of terrorism funds, and support of free trade, among other things. He claims that the Democrats are truly different from the Republicans on social issues and that they offer a real difference to Pres Bush's medieval Christianity.
LEWISTON ? Maine Democrats adopted a party platform and rallied around speeches by Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and the four gubernatorial candidates at the state party convention in Lewiston on Saturday. About 1,100 party faithful attended Saturday's all-day session at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee, according to party officials.
WASHINGTON - The Democratic Party pledges an unrelenting struggle against terrorism and a commitment to seeing Iraq succeed, according to a statement of election principles shaped heavily by national security crises. A draft released Saturday of the party's 2004 platform offers few departures from Democratic orthodoxy on social and economic issues and hews to the agenda of its presidential candidate, John Kerry.
A quiet revolution is stirring in the country, and Taos County is an important reflection of this grassroots resurgence that is bringing together old-line Democrats and new Progressives. In just a few short weeks, what looked like a familiar, but bumpy road of political in-fighting in Taos turned into a free-flowing highway. This new brand of Democrat may spell trouble for candidates who still rely on old-style party politics that may be obsolete. Former Taos County Central Committee Chairman Billy Knight's success in bringing 65 percent of the county's registered Democrats to polls in the November 2005 election re-ignited the interest of old-line, "padrone" Democrats and energized the new Progressives who are more focused on national issues, such as the war in Iraq and health care. Whe...

Senator [Barack Obama] is not anti-war, nor does he genuinely seek appropriate alternatives to militarism in the Middle East. Arab Americans and putative leftists naively, sometimes willfully, overlook the fact that Obama is an ardent supporter of the invasion, bombing and ongoing occupation of Afghanistan. One also cannot dismiss that his views are consistent with the Democratic Party platform, which aspires to refocus on Afghanistan. Such views mix well with Obama's plan to deploy additional troops and increase funding, but as with the case in Iraq, that will only intensify the struggles of the civilian population of Afghanistan. Obama may have voiced opposition to the Iraq war five years ago, but his "courage" came at a time when it minimally affected his political aspirations. Since...
In his speech, [Bush] 43 attributed the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to "poverty" and "racial discrimination." "We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action." Three years later, no plank in the Democratic Party's platform will promise to correct poverty or racial discrimination because of slavery-even though the Democratic Party must rely on the Black vote to win the White House. After the assassination of Dr. King, the Civil Rights Movement was derailed. Racial hustlers stepped into the void and led Blacks away from the road to the "Promised Land." Blacks are now en route to the White House. The "White House" is a euphemism for the "Big House." These hustlers may achieve this objective in 2009 to the detriment of Dr. King's vision. The lesson that-Blacks should have learn...
