It does not! It died in the 60's counter-culture movement.
Nor does the party of Teddy, Ike and Barry Goldwater. The "New Right" killed that.

It was all but smothered when Lyndon Johnson assumed the presidency. With few exceptions, the neomarxists have taken over the party, with the assistance of the public education system, the news media and the entertainment industry. It did not happen by chance. It was part of a well laid out strategy conconcted over 50 years ago that has proven to be immensely successful so far. There is hope, however, as the current leadership of the democrat party has proven to be much more inept than their predecessors, more and more people are recognizing them for what they are - not the hope of the common people, but their oppressor. Making the voters believe that they must be dependant on government has been the democrats' favorite vote garnering tool, but the voters are beginning to awaken from their lethargy and are realizing that the other side of the political aisle is where the people are who will show them how to lift themselves up, without the crutch of an entitlement mentality to hold them back.

No. Different era, different political parties even if retaining the same name. You could find at least two major shifts in the Democrats' philosophy since then.
On the other hand, Nixon (excluding Watergate) would fit into today's Democratic Party very well. His domestic policies were considered fairly liberal for Republicans even then.
Parties changing is just a normal process.

No. Just like the party of Reagan is dead. Both parties have turned their back on leading their ideals and instead have devoted their time to making sure that the other side can't be seen as Americans.

No. FDR and Truman would be considered Republicans today.

What a great question..
Sadly, the answer is no.
The last saving hope of normalcy at the DNC was Lieberman.
He was a truthful light in a sea of belching Neanderthals.
It simply is a socialist party now.

Integrity and honest in the political parties has diminished even more in modern times.
Neither party is what it used to be or what it should be.

No.
Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, and Kerry have all gone to the anti-American far left wing liberals of their party.
Kos, Code Pinko, and communists like Soros run their party now.
