History again makes you scratch your head
To me the Rebulican party is about Big Money, coporate and conservative. It is generaly considered (in my view and general) to be the white party.
The Democrat party is about the Little man, the poor, the lower income or middle class. It is also generaly the party of those, who are Minority, such as black americans and hispanic.
Of course I am white boy, so what the hell do I know?
Anyway to my love of Irony:
The Democratic party originally was the party of the Old South and their aristocratic society of slavery. The Republican party's first elected president was Abraham Lincoln! Ironic?
