I'm actually looking for a serious answer- but amusing ones are always welcome too.

The official website for the Republican party has a link to what they call the "Republican Principles." I suspect that many Americans who are independents, or even members of other political parties, also agree with all but the last item on this list.
________________________________________
Republican Principles
I'm a Republican Because...
I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

In my opinion Republican beliefs are at least two
decades behind the current times. Republican beliefs
seem to hold on to more traditional standards and
way of life. Two parent households and a car in
every garage. The Republican party doesn't like
changes that are too radical in thinking like stem
cell research. They are more in line with religious
beliefs than Democratic thinking. I am a Democrat
by the way so of course my answer is a tad bias. lol

Original republican beliefs include:
- small government
- small taxes
- individual freedom
- free market economy
nowadays, both republicans and, especially, democrats believe in:
- big and greedy government
- taxes, taxes and more taxes
- laws to restrain individual freedom
- regulated economy
