Abortion - state issue as its not an enumerated power of the federal government also favors a repeal of Roe Vs. Wade

Drugs/war on drugs - state issue as its not an enumerated power of the federal government

Education - state issue as its not an enumerated power of the federal government

Marriage - state issue as its not an enumerated power of the federal government

Guns - has an open stance that the second amendment is clear, shall not be infringed

Budget - in favor of reducing the federal budget by 47%





candidate was a governor for 8 years in a heavily democrat state where he went from a Billion+ deficit to a surplus and cut something like 15% of all state employees. This candidate started his own business and grew it to a company of over 1000 employees.

[ETA2]  The guy?

RONALD REAGAN

http://www.ontheissues.org/Ronald_Reagan.htm



Why did I start this thread? I've seen so many comments about how the Republican party could only win if they did more of this, less of this, more of that, less of that, different guy, blah blah blah. There seemed to be a pretty universal agreement that most people wanted another Reagan, and I realized about halfway through those discussions that Arfcom wouldn't embrace Reagan if he ran today. On the abortion and religion aspect alone he'd be shit-canned by most of GD. It belies the belief that many hold that there's a simple solution to the conundrum of an easy fix to win a national election.
