Party Over Principles
American Thinker ^ | 5 Jul, 2025 | Kevin Finn

Posted on 07/05/2025 4:34:40 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The Democrat (they're not democratic) party has sometimes been called “a criminal enterprise”.

Baltimore native Isaiah L. Carter was once a conservative, but became a leftist over time. Last February he accused the Democrat party of “deception, corruption and political manipulation.” He wrote,

This f***ing political party, the Democratic Party, have lied to us about everything. They’ve lied about being the party of the middle class. They’ve lied about being the party of peace. They’ve lied about being the party that wants to help poor people.

[snip]

This is a cadre of criminals and losers and spoiled children of affluent parents who were more concerned about looking good than actually doing good. These are people who were more concerned about looking like they were doing something for the American people than actually doing things for the American people, and that’s why I’m so angry, because this party lied to me while stealing my tax dollars.

Mr. Carter certainly sums it up.

The Democrat party is also criticized for its apparent reluctance to hold prominent members accountable. The party’s leadership has prioritized political expediency, loyalty, and institutional power over accountability. There are systemic factors within the party’s structure that contribute to this sort of leniency. The party often relies on entrenched figures who wield significant influence, making it difficult for the party to hold their members to account.

Their orthodoxy in voting on legislation alone tells the story of a party that demands obedience over values. As aggravating as it is when individual Republican lawmakers disagree and break ranks, such as recently regarding the BBB’s passage, it still shows that our elected Republicans are basing their decisions on principles and the interests of their constituents. The Democrat Party, by contrast, issues the party line and all its craven, mewling members simply shut up and toe it.

Our republican party is absolutely no better. Party over principle is helping send this country down the very same abyss.

I agree that the party has it's share of bad actors and dumb asses. But people whose lives are based on religious values and patriotic principals are more likely to be drawn to the republican party. And... because most of the base shares those principals the bad apples are more noticeable.

____

Our republican party has democrats who ran as republicans, mouthing what the base wants to hear, but voting with the left. It’s what they do in red states to get elected. Like here in Idaho.

That’s true.

Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were elected despite the Republican party, not because of the Republican party.

The Republican establishment, including the Republicans in congress, did everything they could to undermine Reagan and Trump.

The Republican party has proven that they are more interested in advancing the left’s agenda than their own.

Every once in a while I daydream about what the MSM narrative would be if Trump had won as a democrat.

Build the wall to protect our poorest from losing their job.
Kick out the illegals for stealing government money and services from our black people.
The Trump budget was massive tax cuts for the poor and middle class.
Anti-war Rah. Rah. Rah.
Tariff the crap out of everywhere. Make Made In America Great Again!
Peace baby. Peace.

EC

You just illustrated how Donald Trump is a better “Democrat” president than any the Democrat Party has put forth. It’s no wonder he has them confounded, infighting and leaderless.

Awesome!
