Democrats make some sense!

... in their 1932 party platform, which helped FDR get elected. Of course, he turned around and did many things completely opposed to what he campaigned on. (Sound familiar? "Humble foreign policy"?)

It's not all libertarian principles or anything, but there are a few good tidbits-
The Democratic Party solemnly promises by appropriate action to put into effect the principles, policies, and reforms herein advocated, and to eradicate the policies, methods, and practices herein condemned. We advocate an immediate and drastic reduction of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating extravagance to accomplish a saving of not less than twenty-five per cent in the cost of the Federal Government. And we call upon the Democratic Party in the states to make a zealous effort to achieve a proportionate result.

We advocate a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards and an international monetary conference called on the invitation of our government to consider the rehabilitation of silver and related questions.

The removal of government from all fields of private enterprise except where necessary to develop public works and natural resources in the common interest.

For another shocker of a Democratic platform statement (vowing not to interfere with education), see this post.
