Jobs:That looks like a good start.
- Stop job-killing tax hikes
- Allow small businesses to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their income
- Require congressional approval for any new federal regulation that would add to the deficit
- Repeal small business mandates in the new health care law.
Cutting Spending:
- Repeal and Replace health care
- Roll back non-discretionary spending to 2008 levels before TARP and stimulus (will save $100 billion in first year alone)
- Establish strict budget caps to limit federal spending going forward
- Cancel all future TARP payments and reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Reforming Congress:
- Will require that every bill have a citation of constitutional authority
- Give members at least 3 days to read bills before a vote
Defense:
- Provide resources to troops
- Fund missile defense
- Enforce sanctions in Iran
Now, if they'd make a few small changes.
-Abolish Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
-Abolish DOE
-Abolish BATFE
That would be a platform.

AGREED! Please, please add those three :-)
They better do a better job than in 1994.
"That would be a platform."
And you'll be in your duck blind with a flock of pigs dropping into the decoys before it happens.
I'm afraid I don't share your optimism.
I believe the Republicans will treat this list as their heart and soul right up until November 3rd, then it's back to business as usual.
Just like in '94.
You're probably right, Tom. Which is why I don't vote for incumbents.
