Governing Philosophy
Republicans believe, when possible, problems should be solved on state and local levels. The most effective government is government closest to the people.
Democrats believe in national centralized government. One body of government fashions choices for a socialist-democratic America.
Family
Republicans believe the family is the foundation of our social order and government should consider the impact of its actions on family units and life.
Democrats support federal programs to be more sensitive to the diversity within the family unit.
Right to Life
Republicans unequivocally support all lives matter including the lives of the unborn.
Democrats support and promote abortion as a choice for right to life of the unborn, and also considers abortion as an option for a family having more money that can be spent in creating a better living.
Government Regulation
Republicans believe, excessive regulation stifles business growth, especially small business, and creates stagnation, unemployment and uncertainty in communities.
Democrats view onerous regulation as opportunity for expansion of government, creating more government jobs, which in turn results in bureaucratic inefficiency, endless paperwork, and red tape.
Constitutional Law
Republicans believe, the guiding principles of constitutional law, must provide equal opportunity and equal justice for all, regardless of race, creed, gender, age or national origin.
Democrats believe, the Constitution is fundamentally flawed and must be restructured to eliminate freedoms within the Bill of Rights, including speech, religion, gun ownership and state’s rights.
National Defense
Republicans believe that a strong and prepared national defense ensures a secure/free America.
Democrats believe talk, good intentions, and appeasement are good policy for international security.
Poverty/Welfare
Republicans believe, whenever possible, public assistance should transition to a world of work except in cases of the elderly and disabled.
Democrats believe, for some individuals to achieve successful independence, inequitable assistance and advantage are needed from government.
- Want freedom, national security, personal safety, family values, less government, and constitutional law? Understand, there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats.
