Always has been easy to find GOP lists of the right values.
Finding GOP leaders that preach those values has always been easy.
The list of leaders that follow what they preach is short.

What does the Republican Party stand for and why should voters support it?
These are important and timely questions. And this morning at George Washington University, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus sought to answer them by outlining the GOP's "Principles for American Renewal."
They are as follows:
1. CONSTITUTION: Our constitution should be preserved, valued and honored.
2. ECONOMY: We need to start growing America�s economy instead of Washington�s economy so that working Americans see better wages and more opportunity.
3. BUDGET/DEBT: We need to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, make government more efficient, and leave the next generation with opportunity, not debt.
4. HEALTHCARE: We need to start over with real healthcare reform that puts patients and their doctors in charge, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
5. VETERANS: Our veterans have earned our respect and gratitude, and no veteran should have to wait in line for months or years just to see a doctor.
6. SECURITY: Keeping America safe and strong requires a strong military, growing the economy, energy independence, and secure borders.
7. EDUCATION: Every child should have an equal opportunity to get a great education; no parent should be forced to send their child to a failing school.
8. POVERTY: The best anti-poverty program is a strong family and a good job, so our focus should be on getting people out of poverty by lifting up all people and helping them find work.
9. VALUES: Our country should value the traditions of family, life, religious liberty, and hard work.
10. ENERGY: We should make America energy independent by encouraging investment in domestic energy, lowering prices, and creating jobs at home.
11. IMMIGRATION: We need an immigration system that secures our borders, upholds the law, and boosts our economy.

Always has been. We value expanding government and establishing more control over the citizenry and have shown that since our first big win with Lincoln. Democrats took a few decades to catch up, but all they will ever be is Johnny Come Latelies. To get right down to it, we were Whigs and Federalists before that so we have been increasing control to create an ordered and managed society since day one.

The one thing that is for sure is that the dems are anti any traditional values.

See what Marx said and that is what dems stand for.

The only question when voting for a candidate of one major party over the other is which sweet nothings you'd like whispered in your ear as you're bent over and raped.
If you like the ones about being taken care of on the backs of rich people, then you can vote Dem.
If you like the ones about being protected from the boogey man, then Republicans are for you.
Either way the gov't gets bigger, the budget more out of control, and our fiat currency becomes a bigger joke.

You know a thread is FUBAR when people start agreeing with a clown like DD and a troll like Sherp.

I doubt that Ron Paul was ever on Sarah's RINO target list? I added that sig line when so many RINOS went down to all those Palin Tea Party endorsements in 2010.

It was a long enough list to get Sarah uninvited to the 2012 convention. Both she and Ron Paul were not welcomed to speak and all those Conservatives stayed home.
More RINOS went down in 2012 and 2014. Not enough...

1) I am not a troll

2) They aren't "agreeing" with me about anything. This isn't something comparable to me claiming the weather is nice which is touchy feely. What I have shared is the temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure which anyone is free to verify on their own. Nuts and bolts, not emotion.


I know you are a straight ticket Republican voter also so the question is, why are you ashamed of our party? Why do you not want others to know of our parties history?

...
Both parties just suck and are all about more and bigger government.
