What is good for both the United States AND the democratic party?
Q. Here is a list of things that would be good for the county but bad for democrates: Success in Iraq Good Economy Strong Family/Marriage Low unemployment All of these things would hurt the Democrates chances in the election.

Why do most blacks vote Democratic when the Republican party was created to oppose slavery?
Q. The Democratic party supported slavery and the Republican party was started because there was no party in America who wanted to abolish this oppression. Yet today most blacks give their votes to Democrats in exchange for government handouts, programs, and low income jobs because black people can't make it on their own (so the reasoning goes) and they need government to help them. Are black people content to live on the crumbs that Uncle Sam will dole out to them if they keep the Democrats in power?

Why do African Americans flock to the Democratic Party?
Q. No other political party has done more damage to the lives of African Americans throughout the history of the United States. They were one of the main parties that supported slavery and fought against the abolitionist movement. The fought against the civil rights movement and had connections with the KKK in suppressing African Americans. They were responsible for sabotaging the Black Panther Party. They were the chief supporters of the notorious Jim Crow Laws. They stood idle during the 2000 presidential election when many African Americans were barred from voting in Florida.

Democrats as a whole appear to be no friendlier or less friendlier to LGBT causes then the Republicans are. Massachusetts recognizes gay marriage not because its Democrat controlled legislature passed a law and not because its heavily Democrat laden citizens support gay marriage (they don't), but because Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court made it so. Another case in point, I live in a state where the legislature is 98% controlled by Democrats - the state does not officially recognize gay marriage and there isn't any sign that they are planning on changing that.
