Democrats--Party of Favors

I was listening to my local public (read "Maoist") radio station yesterday. The host was interviewing JC Watts at the RNC. A caller (from Hollywood) asked how he or any other black person could be in the Republican party.

It got me thinking. It is clear that people join or align with the Democratic party based on what is or what they perceive to be their own naked self interest. Black people should be in the party because democrats in power will give them money and other advantages over others, eg expanded affirmative action. There are no principles, moral or political, involved (although they pretend there are). Democrats promise a direct delivery of all kinds of tangible benefits to distinct groups of whiners at the expense of other Americans. Republicans, on the other hand, generally do not.

The left seethes at the religious right but what real advantage do the Republicans extend to the religious right by opposing abortion? The religious right opposes abortion as a matter of moral principle--they gain nothing but their souls by their attempt to overturn Roe v Wade.
Meanwhile, we have Obama promising equal pay for equal work. And what is the right to abortion but the right to avoid a large financial burden--a child? Does the democratic party stand for any moral principle at all? I can't see that it does.
