I *would* be a republican, if it stood for the values you list. Heck, I'd be a member of any party with the platform of:
- a balanced budget
- minimal taxes for individuals and businesses
- less government where possible
- minimal intrusion into personal freedoms
- sensible and strong defense and foreign policy
- committment to preserving the environment
I would add to this:
- a committment to transparency and non-secrecy where possible in government operations
- a committment to reducing the effect of money in elections
- a committment to freedom of religion for all religions, and a strong separation of church and state
The libertarians, of course, are closest to this platform. I've always found them to be a bit kooky as a party though.
