Dude, dude, that's way too much text...
And I would call those general topics, not issues. I see it as being a bit of the framing thing- you are tieing issues to huge topical words, rather than being specific.
I register as a Libertarian, because I feel both the demcraticic and republican partiers represent primarily the wealthy families and corporations of the country, and don't represent the interests of the average person or small business.
I have certain empathies for specific rebublican issues, such as gun ownership and the theory of the restriction of government size. However, I see the republicans as having no intention to restrict government. They don't have the guts to actually prune the governmental tree.
"Tax Releif" that is just a euphimism for tax delay is am economic fraud and a crime against the american people.
My issues might look like this:
1. Protecting the Constitution, especially the bill of rights and the seperation of church and state.
2. Corporate Crime and Punishment. We allow business and corporations to steal hundreds of billions and throw Martha Stewart in jail for it.
3. Energy Policy. We must take control of our own energy supply. Oil will run out, the nation which prepares for it first and best will be the most successful nation in existence in 50 years.
4. Support for Small Business. Already the nations major employer, small business is the least supported of american institutions.
5. The Protection of Americas Resources. Air, water, energy, food supplies, land, economic and civil infrastructure- without these we have no wealth. One of Governments most important roles is protection of the commons- we sell our commons to corporations at pennies on the dollar! How is that Conservative?
and 6. Concluding honorably this STUPID WAR and building an intelligent national security, something the current rebuclican ruling elite have totally failed to do.
Fuck, I've used too many words as well.
I see the neocon movement as a covert arm of the coprorate elite.
Generally I think the average neocon supporter is a fool, because they ignore their being used as pawns by a covert plutocracy.
(Added- obviously my ability to spell has gone to hell, but I trust my points are clear enough.)
