Principles are an outmoded ideal in today's political world, don't you know, we are supposed to vote to keep the "R" in the White House, never mind what he'll do when he gets there. /s

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson to Francis Hopkinson, 1789.
