[quote Black Landlord]Other than that I can't think of a single republican position I prescribe to.
1) Fiscal responsibility.
2) Smaller government.
3) Strong military.
Unfortunately, the Republican party of today has no interest whatsoever in the first two. The third one they seem to translate into "more money for defense contractors for projects that never work or are never finished". Not better pay/conditions for military personnel, better veterans benefits, etc.
The Republican party of today is more interested in:
1) Constitutional amendments to take away rights (i.e. gay marriage)
2) Replacing science with religious dogma:
- Teaching the Christian creation myth (and only the Christian one)
- Abstinence sex ed
- Government control of reproductive rights
