What are the goals of the Republican Party for the upcoming election?

Win no matter what you have to do.\n\nLower taxes for the wealthy, burn more oil and blame somebody else. Same as it has been for the last 22 years.

Keep in mind that many Republicans have a goal of privatization of Social Security, including our President.\n\nThat aside, Republicans have realized that popular support for Social Security is so pervasive that opposition to this would be detrimental to their prospects for election.  The first goal of a hopeful policymaker is to attain power, and Republicans realized that their chances for gaining power would be diminished by opposing a policy so heavily favored by a vast majority of the nation.

There is the Libertarian party. Their ideas still fall short, but I like their potential, which is better than the Reps or Dems. Also they would more likely pass the FairTax act (HR25).

Well good for you I am a huge fan myself. Well the first step is actually wanting to become president which I wasn't sure that his did. Next there will be a primary election where the republicans vote for which republican they want to run.

Our Republican Administration is power and money hungry for themselves.  They are only interested in big business who supply their party with unlimited money to play with as they see fit.  \n\nThey take very good care of themselves, giving themselves salary increases every year, the finest health care and pensions.\n\nThey want to hang on to their ill gotten gains and will go to any lengths to achieve this.  They disrespect the opposition party and as they cannot discuss issues or their own achievements ( of which they have none) they resort to dirty tricks, lying and name calling.  All we can do is not vote for them when we have to chance to do so.

It will win elections for the Republicans.  The Republicans don't need to do much of anything to win these days they just let the Democrats talk about how they want to give illegals free social benefits, how they want to allow teenage girls to have abortions without even telling their parents, how they want to recognize gay marriage etc, etc, etc.   \n\nNo matter how bad and corrupt a Republican candidate is, he is always better than the immorality and social welfare of the other side.

Having read there party platform I agree with them on many points.  Im most likely to vote Republican in most major races but I wouldnt rule out a Constitution Party candidate.

It will unfortunately be a republican. They have every advantage and fixed florida last year so it will be JOHN McCAIN.

Unfortunately the Republicans will again and even if its the Democrats it will not make any difference at all.  They are both made of the same material.  MONEY.  I'd like to see some real change with more independents and Libertarian Party members.

REPUBLICAN-The Republican Party is the more socially conservative and economically libertarian of the two major parties, and has closer ties to both Wall Street (large corporations) and Main Street (locally owned businesses) than do the Democrats and less affiliation with labor unions. Republicans have a strong belief in personal responsibility, limited government, and corporate entrepreneurship. Republicans generally oppose gay marriage, oppose abortion, and oppose embryonic stem cell research.   center-right wing\n\nDEMOCRAT-The party has favored farmers, laborers, labor unions, and religious and ethnic minorities; it has opposed unregulated business and finance, and favored progressive income taxes. In foreign policy, internationalism (including interventionism) was a dominant theme from 1913 to the mid 1960s. In the 1930s, the party began advocating welfare spending programs targeted at the poor. Since the 1970s, environmentalism has been a major new component.\nIn recent decades, the Party advocates civil liberties, social freedoms, equal rights, equal opportunity, and a free enterprise system tempered by government intervention (what economists call a mixed-economy). The Party believes that government should play a role in alleviating poverty and social injustice, even if that means a larger role for government and progressive taxation to pay for social services. They support gay marriage, abortion, and stem call research.\n\nLEFT-WING-In politics, left-wing, the political left or simply the left are terms that refer to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of, to varying extents, socialism, green politics, anarchism, communism, social democracy, progressivism, American liberalism or social liberalism, and defined in contradistinction to its polar opposite, the right. The left often works to eliminate high levels of inequality.\n\nRIGHT-WING-In politics, right-wing, the political right or simply the right, are terms that refer to the segment of the political spectrum often associated with any of several strains of monarchism, reactionism, conservatism, the religious right, nationalism, fascism, or simply the opposite of left-wing politics.\nThe right advanced capitalism, whereas the left advocated socialism (often democratic socialism) or communism.\n\nLIBERAL-Liberalism is an ideology, philosophical view, and political tradition which holds that liberty is the primary political value. Liberalism has its roots in the Western Age of Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought. Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights. It seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, free public education, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of all citizens are protected. In modern society, liberals favor a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed.\n\nCONSERVATIVE-Conservatism is a political philosophy that necessitates a defense of established values. Since different cultures have different established values, conservatives in different cultures have different goals. Some conservatives seek to preserve the status quo, while others seek to return to the values of an earlier time, the status quo ante.
