FDR wanted to go to war, but as part his election platform during the (at the time unpopular) European conflict, he vowed not to. The Lend Lease Act was actually a way to indirectly get into the war.
Some democrats have a habit of going beyond keeping religion out of politics, and as far as attacking people who do believe in God, and THAT is purely unacceptable.
John Edwards cheated on his wife that was (and now has died) dying of cancer during his presidential campaign, and used campaign funds to provide for and shut his mistress up. He even has a son with her.
Bill Clinton - lied under oath
During the 60's (and earlier), it was almost exclusively Democrats passing segregation laws, and stopping civil rights legislation. It was even (mainly) them that were against the Emancipation Proclamation.
Woodrow Wilson was attempting to pass communistic laws - he even (tho not very well known) had written a second constitution that handed over almost all freedoms to the Feds - I could be wrong - it may have been FDR, but it was one of them.
The EPA is filled with cover ups and are constantly restricting what we can and can't do with regards to "emissions" (quotations because I don't agree with it)
The ACLU actually sues people for following immigration laws (only in California and a few other states can they get away with it...) and raised controversy over a WWI veteran's memorial cross in the middle of the Arizona desert, which resulted in the vandalism and eventual theft of the cross.
The progressive Democrats have a habit of trying to regulate what is generally accepted as perfectly moral behavior, and deregulating behavior that is controversial.

No one is doing the right thing. dont put it all on democrats.whoever holds office seems to make the worst decisions.
its like their brain instantly degrades into a pile of crap and greed.
But it gets worse. The sheer amount of ignorant, unbelievably stupid, greedy, isolated, and selfish people living in this country makes the idea of allowing all the unwashed masses to vote on the biggest bills not an option.
These politicians, regardless of of their general and moral incompetence, have basically been educated in the art of manipulating the unwashed masses. Therefore, allowing people to vote on big bills wont matter anyway. Because the politicians will spew their bull**** and the unwashed masses will just soak it up like a sponge.
"A popular Government without popular information nor the means of aquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives"
