-Advocates more for business than the left does and doesn't introduce overly cumbersome regulations at the drop of a hat that smart companies figure out how to get around.
-Doesn't pander to every single minority voice.
-I do believe it's important to have a strong military that is ready to go if need be.
-Not afraid to be proud of the country and not diss it or say they hate it here like I see some of my more liberal friends always cry about.

I am right leaning. I agree with the left on:
Gay marriage: Let people marry who they love. While Marriage means a great deal to me, it isn't sacred anymore to most Americans. I guarantee most families have multiple couples who have divorced.
Taxes: I would be ok with increasing taxes, however only on a condition that the budget was balanced or the national debt was paid down. The government has not proven to be an effective steward of our money. I would rather give money on my own charitable decisions, than give it to the government, especially the overspending democrat party.
That's probably about it. In most cases i really just want government to get out of the way. 99% of the Democrats' policies revolve around getting the government more involved.
