What do you believe to be the core issues of your party?
What is you definition of Conservative/Liberal?
Not looking to bash either side, I would just like to see how each side views themselves.

whoa... there is a communist in here. boo.
Anyway, I'm a conservative republican. I believe in staunch capitalism, little or no government control on economics or social issues (medicare, welfare, food stamps, etc...) to me, taking money from my paycheck without my permission and giving it to someone sitting on their couch collecting welfare is a (mild) form of communism.
Take from those who have, give to those who dont. I have because I work my *** of for it. I dont agree with this. I dont agree with open borders, I dont agree that abortion is "a woman's choice because it's a woman's body" (and i'm a woman!)
I dont agree with "press 1 for english, 2 for spanish". If I moved to the Phillipines tomorrow, I would expect to have to learn Tagalog. I would NOT expect them to cater to me and have english on everything. This is wrong that we are cating to the mexicans.
I dont agree with the cessation of capital punishment. Kill the bastards. They were put on death row for a reason. And for those liberals that say that our justice system is not to be trusted and we shouldn't kill because we might be killing an innocent... what do you think abortion is? The killing of an innocent. They are hypocrites. So, it's ok to kill an innocent baby, but not ok to (possibly) kill a convicted felon? I dont get it.
Anyway, there's a FEW reasons why I am a conservative republican. Not trying to bash the liberals, but those are a few reasons why I am what I am.

In the real sense of conservative, it means little change, for liberal, it means a whole lot of change. The right/left spectrum in America is different from Europe. Conservative means smaller govt in economics, but more govt in ethics. liberalism is the opposite. Top issues:
Iraq
Abortion
Illegal Immigration

I'm a registered independent. But Conservative use to stand for little or no change from the status quo. Liberal use to stand for progressive change. Both parties have lost their way.

I am a fiscal conservative first, and that used to be a premise of the Republican party. Today I am not so sure.
