For example I am a Libertarian but differ with their platform in two major ways

1) I believe for freedom to live the megacorps must die. This will mean some additional or rather replacement government regulations but will NOT require new agencies. I believe this in part because observation tells me that the megecorps make anything resembling a free market impossible and in part because regulation would be better than constant war which seems to be the alternative in practice.
2) I believe strongly in hand up government social programs at the state level.

LP's, dems, neocons and conservatives , greenies, socialist etc ? Do you support your parties platform in full without question or do you have variances with them as well?

Thread tittle should read "How completely do you subscribe to your parties platform?"

The Republican Party platform is fine.

but republican politicians often ignore most of it after the election.

War mongering? War on drugs? Continued spending and debt?

I approve of the war on drugs.

and the other two are not in the GOP platform.

Regarding the debt, why do they kept deficit spending up when they are in charge of at least the House? Do they have any serious proposals to cease deficit spending. (Some of the rebels do, but the party leadership does not).

These are professional politicians who bend to the strongest pressure.

Which except for the Tea a Party means spending more not less.

Bingo. That is why I left the GoP in 2006.
