Okay, I'll go down the list:

WOT - Check. I'm for it. And let's liberate Cuba next.
WOD - Some of it. I'd rather see law resources go after meth labs and crack dealers than pot smokers.
Patriot Act - Long as it can't be MISused. Just think what President Hildabeast could do with the Patriot Act...
Drug prohibition - see above.

I don't "welcome all refugees"; however, I don't see that many Republicans being serious about border tighness.

Initiation of force: Only when absolutely necessary.

War on Drugs: The U.N. is also big on this topic, and I'll be damned if I agree with them.

"justice of the law" - I'm not up on this. Have to admit.

Government secrets - only when absolutely necessary; otherwise, tell us what's going on.

Sex - Why should government be involved in consensual, adult sexual activities?

I'm not a fan of a rigidly-controlled economy. SOME regulation is necessary.

I'll have to get to the rest of this later, but bear in mind this: My personal beliefs and my party affiliation are not one and the same. Don't confuse the two.

Continued:

Farming - While I'm not in favor of farmers growing poppy or coca, I do think they should be able to farm hemp and marijuana. And while we're at it, let's get rid of the Soviet-style farm-price supports.

Forcible collection - I'm in favor of the national retail sales tax, but it'll have to be collected.

Regulation - is it absolutely necessary to control all financial activity?

Foreign quarrels - I think we DO stick our noses into too many disputes over worthless parcels of land and third-world dictatorship squabbles, but we can't abandon Israel.

Aid to foreign governments - I'd get rid of most of it.

Let me ask you something. What is the point of this? No member of ANY political party is going to be fully on board with EVERY part of that partys' platform.

BTW, that Wisconsin Republican candidate who was "attacked"? She's in favor of some tripe called "Smart Growth". Republicans who aren't in favor of property rights don't have any business calling themselves Republicans.
