* A thorough examination of how we treat patients in pain, with a view to a halt to punishing them by denying them the medicines they need to get through their lives without pain or humiliation.

* A serious effort to protect our ports and borders from terrorist threats.

* A complete stop to anything at all that resembles forced busing or the redrawing of school district lines to compel students to attend one school or another on the basis of race.

* An agonizing reappraisal of whether we should be in Iraq at all.

* A defense policy that truly allows us to defend ourselves against the Islamic threat in fact and not just on paper.

The idea of a House of Representatives dominated by a hatchet-wielding Nancy Pelosi, the Madame Defarge of the 21st century, is blood curdling. Let's do something about it. Our party does not believe that love of life and love of family are "imperfections," so we have a good starting place. Let's move on from there to a thorough explanation of what we stand for and why it makes sense. The easy days are over.
