Republicans believe in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving American values and traditions, and restoring the American dream for every citizen of this great nation. As a party, we support policies that seek to achieve those goals.
Our platform is centered on stimulating economic growth for all Americans, protecting constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, ensuring the integrity of our elections, and maintaining our national security. We are working to preserve America's greatness for our children and grandchildren.
The Republican Party's legacy -- we were originally founded in 1854 for the purpose of ending slavery -- compels us to patriotically defend America's values. As the left attempts to destroy what makes America great, the Republican Party is standing in the breach to defend our nation and way of life.
Conspicuously absent are these planks:
→ balanced budged
→ abortion is murder
→ elimination of welfare
→ smaller government
→ lowering taxes
→ state's rights
→ term limits
→ border control
→ English as sole language
→ taxes for infrastructure and defense only
→ elimination of federal agencies
→ elimination of subsidies
So, we see there is a lot in the platform enabling them to enlist the support of true conservatives while avoiding the core actions that those conservatives want to see done.
The reality is that the Republican Party is essential a mildly socialist party compared to the Democratic Party.
