The three main pillars of the Republican Party is, it's a party of national security, so this goes in terms of more of an aggressive United States interest stance in terms of foreign policy but also you could see this in it's policy on immigration, more being for border enforcement, that sort of thing. Another pillar of the Republican Party is the free market. People call this the party of big business however I think it's more accurate to term it the party of the free market, less government intrusion into their free market. Of course that means that big business likes that and they tend to have more winners in that situation but it is a party of less government intrusion into the free market. And it's the party of social conservatism or one aspect of that is traditional values. Those tend to be the three main pillars of the Republican Party.
