The Republican part of the United states is firmly right-of-centre, with many leaders holding moderate-authoritarian views. The Democratic party is a centrist party, with most leaders falling slightly to the right of centre and holding moderate-authoritarian views.

Are democrats leftist?
Most are, but then if you include the Libertarians in the Republican Party, particularly Ron Paul and his supporters you would have to say the same thing about them. "Leftist" and "Rightist" are not instructive terms if you are going to think deeply about American politics. In the larger universe, democrats are leftists and monarchists are rightist. But you wouldn't call Republicans monarchists. As believers in a democratic society Republicans are leftists too. When you zoom down from the larger universe and get down to say, the block you live on, and take all those people and put them in a room you could survey them and find out who belongs on the right and who belongs on the left, but they could all still be Democrats or they could all be Republicans. Republicans don't want to be called monarchists and they don't want to be called leftists and they don't want to be called moderates either. So it is probably best just to call them Democrats and Republicans and look deeper into their published policies and goals for insights on what they stand for.
What do Republicans stand for?
Republicans are considered more conservative than Democrats. However, there are liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. The Republicans tend to favor less government when dealing with domestic problems, and individual and states' rights. Republicans tend to favor economic laws that regulate as little as possible. They tend to favor ways to help the states and local governments, and allow private charities to help individuals in need instead of federal programs. Republican tend to favor more defense spending and to be against funding for abortions. They favor enforcement of immigration laws and are against giving voting rights to illegal immigrants. They want to balance the budget and find a way to slowly reduce the national debt.
Did the Republican party always stand for limiting federal power?
No. They don't really stand for that now; it's a semi-convenient (over)simplification for distinguishing themselves from the Democrats. If you want a party that's actually serious about limiting federal (and other governmental) power, then you're looking for the Libertarians.The approximate spread from "limiting federal power" to "unlimited federal power" is Libertarians - Republicans - Democrats - any party with "People's" or "Socialist/Communist" in the name... with TONS of overlap, to the extent that at least the middle two can swap positions depending on the particular issue in question. The "Green" party in the US is somewhere between Republicans and Communists, though exactly where can be hard to pinpoint.
What are the major differences between Democrats and Republicans?
== == == == Although not technically part of their platform, Democrats are stereotyped as liberals and Republicans as conservatives.Common Liberal beliefs: * Womens rights (pro-choice) * Environmental issues like global warming are important * Same sex marriage* Taxes to fix the economy Common Conservative beliefs: * Pro-life (no abortion) * Cut taxes to fix the economy * No special rights to interest groupsRepublicans:less federal government involvement. Republicans are strong supporters of the tenth amendment which gives rights to the states as opposed to Congresscapitalism- free economic market not run or regulated by the governmentfreedom is the most important aspect of Americarepublicans want to uphold America as a republic, hence the nameDemocrats:more federal government involvement. Democrats do not generally like the tenth amendment and want the federal government to have more powersocialism- not a free economic market. Democrats, like in other things, want the government to regulate the marketequality is usually the most important thing to DemocratsDemocrats want to change America into a democracy, hence the name
What political party took a firm stand against slavery?
After the collapse of the Whig Party, a new political party the Republicans were formed. It's chief reason to organize itself into a new party was based on the opposition to slavery by its members. And like all political parties, there were differences among its members. Some were radicals regarding slavery, others like Abraham Lincoln were moderates.
How do the Republican Party and the democratic one differ?
What they stand for is different. Republicans stand for big banks and rich people as where Democrats stand for supporting the less fortunate and making the banks pay. Both parties have their faults, however. Some democrats believe that abortion is right but not all democrats do. Republicans stand for Wall Street.
Which party was formed from the group that opposed the agenda of the democrats in the 1830and lost support when it refused to stand against slavery?

Where in the ideology do republicans and democrats stand?
Good question. Ideology is, essentially, the way one thinks about the world around them. It is a collection of beliefs and world views. "World views" includes how you think about your neighborhood as well as how you think about the world.Republicans and Democrats are members of the dominant American political parties and choose their affiliation, to some extent, on the basis of their personal ideology.What you find out when you look broadly is that the ideologies of the two political parties are not different at all. Both believe in the "American Dream." They are both comfortable with the political institutions in the country. They both expect foreign policy to protect and extend American interests.It is only when you look in a more narrow fashion at individual policy differences do you see any significant differentiation in ideology.One might suggest that the issue comes down to the basic nature of man. Republicans see man as essentially evil and stained with original sin and Democrats see man as essentially good and imbued with the potential of godliness.Two very different approaches, but on the larger questions not much difference at all.
What did the democratic and republican parties stand for before civil war why did people vote for republicans and why for democrats?
The north was republican, the south was democrat. Prior to the civil war the two parties were actually the same party (Democratic Republicans), and around the time the country split the parties split. The Democrats were proslavery and so the south, the Republicans were anti-slavery and so the north. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President. Even though the first half of the 1900s the Democrats were the prosegregation anti-equal rights party, it wasn't until the 1950s and 60s that they changed, now of course they try to pin those things on Republicans.
What are some of the criticisms about John Boehner?

This is unpopular with Congress people, whether they are Democrats or "liberal" Republicans. He has many doubts, as example about the new national healthcare act called "Obamacare". For his stand against this law he has received criticism.
