Here is Truman accepting his party's nomination in Philadelphia in 1948 enroute to a legendary and rousing victory in November over traditional Republican Thomas Dewey. We (Democrats) are right and they (Republicans) are wrong. It's that simple.
"Senator Barkley and I will win this election and make those Republicans like it... We will do that because they are wrong and we are right... [T]he people know the Democratic Party is the people's party, and the Republican Party is the party of special interests and it always has been and always will be... The Republican Party... favors the privileged few and not the common, every-day man. Ever since its inception that Party has been under the control of special privilege, and they concretely proved it in the 80th Congress. They proved it by the things they did to the people and not for them. They proved it by the things they failed to do."
