Three legs of the Conservative stool-
Social-
Be strongly pro life. It is the defining issue of individual liberty. Leaving it up to the States is not an option (although going the State route is a strategy) as State’s rights can’t supersede individual rights.
Economic-
Move toward government limited to its role defined by the Constitution. This would result in budgets being slashed greatly, bringing us in balance. Support of a simplified tax system such as the fair tax or flat tax is a plus. Avoid class warfare jargon. Strong on domestic energy production. Keep us from being held hostage by other nations.
Defense-
The primary role of the President is Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces and defense is the primary role of the Federal government as outlined by the Constitution. This includes defense along our borders as well as having a realistic outlook on our foreign enemies. Take the fight to them if necessary. None of this ‘the US can be defended by one submarine’ crap.
How well do you think each candidate or potential candidate matches to your preferences?
