Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or party:

    “The Democratic Party is like a mule. It has neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity.”
    —Ignatius Donnelly (1831–1901)

    “Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida.... I read the arguments in the Congressional Record and can’t see how lawyers can differ on the question. But the decision is by a strictly party vote—eight Republicans against seven Democrats! It shows the strength of party ties.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
