[edit] Primary priciples...

I removed the following statement:

Today, the Republican Party's primary political principles include limited government, the free-market, capitalism, a strong national defense, the reform of Social Security, and opposition to funding for abortions.

On what grounds are these considered the RP's "primary principles". I don't see it in their actions. Is it in certain documents? Adam 10:45, 9 Apr 2005 (PDT)

[edit] Big government Republicans

Several commentators have observed that Bush and Co. are "big government republicans", not advocates of limited government.[1] [2] [3] [4] The Republicans have also passed/maintained a number of protective tarifs that have resulted in punative tarifs from our trading partners (Steel tarif, and Byrd amendment)-Adam
