They are against judicial activism. They believe that judges have to read the law as it is written and not to deviate. For instance if the crime calls for 5-10 years in prison, they don't want the judge issuing a fine or probation instead. The feel the Supreme Court judges created their own law with Roe vs Wade.





They are against punitive damages in lawsuits.





They would like to see a smaller government. All social programs would be eliminated at the federal level. Their view that the Federal government is there only to defend the country from invasion and to create laws that smooth the flow of commerce and protect people from each other.





They are for less taxes and balanced budgets. They are against having the national debt.





They are for more police, prisons, tougher sentences (including the death penalty) for those convicted.





They support allowing civilians to have fire arms.What does it mean to be a true republican conservative? (my wife is doing a paper for school, can someone help
