The Four Basic Principles of the Republican Party:
(The Party For All The People)
  1. Protect the rights of the individual.
  2. Protect the free enterprise system.
  3. Reduce government to the lowest practical level.
  4. Endorse and practice fiscal responsibility.

The Democratic party does not appear to have any principles:

QUOTES:

Disclaimer: the opinions expressed here do not necessarily represent the official position of any elected official, any political party, or even myself. They are thoughts, freely expressed in a society where this is constitutionally protected, and often tolerated.

"... for me it's humiliating to vote for Kerry, because I don't respect him; but I would -- I will -- it's unpleasant, it's like killing a big rat that is running around your apartment. It must be done. But you're not proud of it." actor and playwright Wally Shawn, 21 Oct, 2004 on Democracy Now

"Conservatives think liberals are stupid.

Liberals think conservatives are evil.
... Liberals who have no head (see above)
believe that conservatives have no heart."
-- Charles Krauthammer

Political parties use abbreviations ... for example "GOP" which stands for Group of Old People, and "DEMO" which stands for Demolition. (Pat Paulson)

The difference between the parties is that the Republicans don't want to spend any money, and the Democrats want to spend other people's money. (Jim Zawor)

Both parties claim to be superior in their ideology--the Democrats in compassion; the Republicans in morality. (Russ Josephson)

We want a society where people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate. This is what we mean by a moral society, not a society where the state is responsible for everything, and no one is responsible for the state. (British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher)
