Republican Strategies for 2006
Hugh Hewitt’s Essay contest includes another question: What should the GOP do in 2006? While I am not a partisan Republican, I do have my own suggestions.
I am a Christian first foremost and always. Having said that I do vote in American elections, and, if you have followed this website for anytime, you know that I advocated for Bush in 04.
What I desire to see is the GOP become a party that stands for life in all areas-not just on abortion and stem cells. So my suggestions are rooted not just in popular politics, which I believe these suggestions will help sway and elect Republicans, but also in the desire to address issues that orthodox Christians should be concerend about:
1) The depriving of the right to a good education to the poor trapped in America’s worst public schools.
2) A generous immigration party that helps people avoid becoming criminals and being exploited by those who care more for greed than humane treatment of all of God’s image bearers and
3) Upholding marriage as an institution that celebrates the family, not personal fulfillment (whatever that means) first and foremost.
