Would you care to discuss each point? Look at each individual point and determine whether or not the Republicans advocate for such changes or actions. Here's your opportunity to refute claims that Romney/Republicans are extreme.
Below are the items the GOP is running on.
Deregulate Wall Street
Criminalize Abortion
Deregulate the banks
Wars with Iran in Israels name
Dump evolution in favor of Creationism
More money for the War on drugs
More money for Defense "Contracting"
God back in schools
Laws against Sharia Law
Tort reform
Destroy Class action Law suits
Abolish, ahem I mean privatize social security
Voucherize Medicare
Regulate the internet
Abolish the EPA
Abolish the FDA
Abolish Homeland security
Abolish the education department
No more Govt student Loans
No more pell Grants
Drill for more oil
Continue Oil subsidies
Dont enforce laws on clean ups post oil spills
Invest deeper in coal
Abolish Welfare
Abolish unemployment insurance
Lower Taxes?
Flat Taxes?
No Taxes?
Right to Work legislation nationwide.

Tort reform is bad?
Coal can be made to burn clean
Abolish welfare as it is today is bad?
I am for flat taxes
The EPA is questionable at best as is the department of energy.
Deregulate banks happened under Clinton
War with Iran? That's part of the GOP platform? How about spending billions interfering in Libya and Syria?
Dump evolution? Thats part of the GOP platform?
Drill for more oil is bad?
I have not heard Romeny once talk about criminalizing abortion.
God back in schools? Are you refering to allowing kids to pray at school? Or a football team to say a prayer before a game?
Unemployment insurance? Have not heard Romney talk about abolishing this insurance.
Social security. I would love to be able to have that money back and invest it properly.
Lower taxes isn't bad especially if we shrink the Fed. How many police agencies do we need? FBI, ATF, DEA, Secret Service, US Marshals, Dorder security, IRS,EPA, FDA, FCC, FAA, and more still. We can't merge a few of these streamline them and make them more efficient?
