1. Ronald Reagan: ever heard of the Iran Contra affair ? your sunny president had his dark sides too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Contra_affair
2. medical health care: take it as a long term investment. the invested tax-money will start a whole new market and chances for new innovations and profits. those who pay more taxes will moan, but they will realize that good medical health care helps to stabilize the US-society and economy, which are both shaken. more than 100 years ago german conservatives moaned that the costs of medical health care would ruin them. well, we are still number 3 in world economy.
3. the future of the republican party:
times change and the repulicans will change too. the minorities opted for Obama and the minorities rise fast in numbers. in some time they will have (in combination) the majority in many states. here the republicans must react and integrate these people far better in their political concepts. the tax concepts are wrong too. in times of millions of personal insolvency in the US, it is not a good idea to demand tax cuts for the upper class.
the right to bear arms: old fashioned but useful, keep it on the agenda
gay/same sex marriage: it is conservative, keep it on the agenda (i support the decision to allow it here in germany)
small government: more realism pleace. how many republican presidencies did the US have since T. Roosevelt? did any of them really cut the "big" government? and that in times of economic crisis! = political suicide
"Embrace our military strength, and face off vs. our enemies." talking about small government...
"Continue to build our Military, and support the oppressed." rofl, how idealistic and generous. so the US will invade the Repulic of Congo in 4 years and end the civil war there? remember Somalia and Clinton?
"Remove the UN from the UNITED STATES, and withdraw our seat." BW, u are not a politican. NEVER give up ground in global politics. block everything if you like, but never give up ground!
"Remove ourselves from NATO, and bring back most of our troops, keep a few key Naval and Air bases." same as above. ok, NATO is a paper tiger, but the US controls it. with NATO european nations have problems to build up their own EU-forces. NATO gurantees deep influence in european military politics. e. g. the european space project Galileo (advanced GPS): the US pressed the europeans with NATO emergency plans so that the US can disrupt the signals in times of war.
"Remove our Nuke and Missle shield forces from Europe, and put our missle shield system only in Israel......They will need it." Take it back, but accept if some more states build their own nukes than, just in case we may need them. btw. the shield in east europe is to protect the US from an attack by Iran.
"Tell NoKo and Iran, we wont negotiate with you any more.... and blow up their Nuke facilities." a few days later China attacks Taiwan and South Korea. Iran strikes back with chemical and biological weapons on israel, US-forces in iraq etc.
"Then set up funding and supply bases for any insurection movements that develope.....TOTALLY support an overthrow if possible." far better idea than everything above. but not as offical politics. why warn the enemy?
"Tell China and Russia they better stay the F away from S. America." sure the US may tell them, who cares? china? with control of a great amount of US bonds? Russia? they have plenty of nukes left
"
Shrink the Capital Gains tax to 5% LT, 10% ST.
Institute a flat tax, across the board that tosses out the tax code entirely.
a. allow the basic allowance that ensures a tax free income to the middle class
b. allow the Mortgage Interest and Loan Interest right offs....for ALL debt."
good propaganda, keep it on the agenda. but have an answer how to finance all your ideas above...
"School choice. Eliminate the Education dept. at the Fed Level.
Institute Tuition right offs or give vouchers for those that send children to Private School." keep it on the agenda
"Build up the most elite and efficient border security force ever assembled."
and CLOSE DOWN the border to illegal traffic." keep it on the agenda, but have in mind that the minorities will become the majority. all your ideas won't work when the president is always a Dem.
"a. Face Mexican smugglers at the border, and kill them." keep it on the agenda (ever heared of the iron curtain?)
"DRILL for OIL." keep it, but don't forget to innovate a car that runs with it instead of gas
"BUILD Nuke plants." good idea
"Withdraw the loan bailouts to the banks and automakers......." GM is near bankruptcy, such a tradion lost? thats not very conservative...
"Remove Labor Unions from the Political landscape." ever heard of the US-constitution?
Summary:
domestic ideas: ok with a few adjustments in the demographics
foreign ideas: if u want to ruin the repulicans and your nation than act that way.
of course, if all republican voters are small minded idiots, than your program is perfect.
