Ideological Conferences
Other caucuses are organized political factions with a common ideological orientation:
- On the Democratic side, there is the Blue Dog Coalition (conservative Democrats), New Democrat Coalition (moderate Democrats), Congressional Progressive Caucus (liberal and progressive Democrats), and Democratic Freedom Caucus (libertarian Democrats).
- On the Republican side, there is the Republican Study Committee (conservative politics Republicans) and the Liberty Caucus, which is sometimes called the Republican Liberty Caucus (libertarian Republicans). The Tea Party Caucus also has 60 Republican members in the House of Representatives and four in the Senate.
Other groups are associated with members of Congress (such as the Democratic Leadership Council and Republican Main Street Partnership) but are not considered caucuses.

Famous quotes containing the word ideological:
“Everything ideological possesses meaning: it represents, depicts, or stands for something lying outside itself. In other words, it is a sign. Without signs there is no ideology.”
—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
