Strength and weakness of the Republicans

The conservatives, G.O.P., the Grand Old Party. Before we go on to the strength and weakness of the party, let us narrow down some of their positions on issues.


I have came across this Link. I found this very helpful because I do not know much about the politics of America but this chart from the link made it much easier for me to quickly learn what the two parties' differences are all about.
Republicans are generally against gay marriage, support the death penalty, against legalization of abortions.
For more information about their stand on many issues, I found another page from On The Issues: Link.
Generally speaking, republicans support women's advancement in the military, yet against homosexuals serving in the military, promotes school choice and home schooling, they are against universal health care, supports better pay, treatment and training for the soldiers and wants to strengthen the immigration system.
Over all, the party is geared towards Americans rather than everyone including the immigrants. Also, they are supportive of the army more than the democrats. I see that the strength of the republicans are the fact that they take it slow rather than democrats who cry for change all at once. Republicans change too but they take it slowly and I believe that is more stable. On the other hand, may be sometimes too slow; their positions are geared so much on the citizens that it seems like they are forgetting what this country is all about. We are also about the immigrants and I hope republicans are very careful of what they do about the immigration law.
