"Republican" used to mean "one who believes in a republic", or perhaps somewhat more cynically, that the people need representation because they lack the ability to effectively govern themselves. In other words, "big government".

"Democrat" used to mean "one who believes in a democracy" or straight decision-making by the people. In other words, no politicians and "small government".

Funny how convoluted this has all become. . .
