This is a hard question, because the official GOP platform doesn't really address some of these issues. If I don't know what the platform says, then I'll go by what the majority of the party leadership believes.
Illegal Immigration: Many illegal aliens have been in our country for 10 years, 20 years, maybe longer. They've established themselves here, so deporting them isn't feasible. Grant amnesty to illegals who have lived here beyond a certain threshold of time (5 years, 10 years, etc.) and deport all future ones.
Environment: Climate change is real and affected, at least in part, by human activity. Provide market-based incentives for sustainable development, including an environmental "sin tax" that places tariffs on imports based on their sustainability. Conservatives have always upheld the free market as more effective than regulation, so why don't we use the market to promote environmental protection instead of denying the science?
Equal Pay for Equal Work: Strongly support, as long as women are working the same hours, in the same job, at the same level of seniority as men.
Paid Leave: Support, but allow exemptions for employers under a certain level. We should possibly consider having the government run such a program instead of businesses. At the very least, paid family leave should be optional, but not mandatory.
Term Limits: Strongly oppose term limits on Congress or the Supreme Court. Congress is not like the presidency; it is a legislative body with hundreds of people, and doesn't invest most of its power in a single person (like the presidency does). Although there are certainly some bad apples in Congress, term limits would force the good members out with the bad ones. And as for the Supreme Court, there's a reason the founding fathers specifically made it a life term. By term limiting them, you make the Court too political and subject to the whims of the president, who can replace them all if he/she doesn't like their decisions. It expands the president's power to a dangerous level.
Education: Oppose efforts to abolish the Department of Education. While I believe that specific education standards should be mostly left to states, there should be some federal oversight.
Death Penalty: Oppose, but believe the federal government should not interfere with existing state laws.
Foreign Policy: Support an internationalist foreign policy of working with our allies. The UN's peacekeeping forces should be used to protect US interests, and war should be a last resort.
Gun Control: I oppose most forms of gun control, but support background checks of criminal and mental health records.
Separation of Church and State: Keep existing religious references in the government as long as they are denominationally neutral, but ban future references.
Free Speech: Oppose mandates for schoolchildren to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Oppose bans on flag desecration and censorship in most forms.
Puerto Rico: Support independence, but the federal government should allow an advisory vote on statehood, independence, or territorial status, followed by a referendum based on the outcome of this.
Obamacare: Support repeal and replacement, but put existing recipients on Medicaid or Medicare, according to age.
I also supported the auto bailout and civil unions (before the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage).
New version of Glass-Steagall to prevent another recession.
Don't most Tea Party Republicans support this?
