The Republican Party honors individual property rights and promotes the shifting of power to local communities and away from centralized government.

Bush has increased Federal power added to the size of the Federal government. Not very conservative or republican.

Yes, and has destroyed more wetlands and forest so you ahve no place to hunt with those guns.

Republicans generally push for strong enforcement and tough laws against drug traffic and juvenile crime.

Yes and we have the highest incareration rate in the word. Most for victimless drug crimes. Legalize and tax some of those drugs and solve a lot of problems.

The Republican Party promotes a strong national defense.

Yes and ignored all advice on terrorism until 9/11

The Republican platform is pro-life, while Democrats tend to support a pro-choice position.
