"1. accept supply side but dont allow tax cuts to create unsustainable deficits or reduce necessary spending. In other words be cautious but do not throw out the supply side baby with the bathwater. "

That seems reasonable but I admit to being a poor student of economics. So, I leave myself a big door for changing my mind when I know more.

2. Realism in fp. No more neocons but also no more left wing silliness. Lets argue the issue and most importantly reach bi-partisan agreement/consensus (60% is a good number)
3. Respect all religions but dont let one religion create your platform on social issues--evangelical for the right and extreme moral relativism for the left. Keep religion out of politics as much as possible.

Re: 2 and 3

I have long been aware that extremism is the plague of our generation. People don't even realizing how they are suffering over this, they are proud of it.

Group extremism involves loyalty to tribe, religion, race, national origin, extreme liberal chaos, extreme oppressive totalitarianism, etc. It is the false sense of devotion to a heritage with in a group that tends to corrupt one to the extreme.

When there is a mechanism to dealing with this problem, I will happily vote for the representative who promotes it.

Best Regards,
Gem
