Which Politician would match my stances?

Okay, I need to pick a politician (anytime from 1952-today) to do a report on and compare my stances. It can be a Presidential candidate, President, Senator, or Governor. Keep in mind this would be in the ideal situation, obviously during certain times these stances would be overridden.

So here are my big stances-

Taxes- Lower taxes to stimulate the economy, and let the markets take their course. So less personal income tax, business tax.

Budget- Dont overspend, and put the military as the last cut, with others in order of importance (Planned parenthood gets cut before healthcare for seniors).

War on Terror- Use any tools, and any allies to help us defeat terrorism wherever it is (Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, etc.)

Foreign Policy- Strengthen ties with Western Europe, Russia, and Latin America, and conscript new allies for the war on terror.

Gay Marriage- Allow for gay marriage

Abortion- Pro-life

Capital Punishment- Support

Gun Control- Instant Check

Patriot Act- Leave as is

Role of Government- Smaller is better, more local control.

Thanks

Update:

I refuse to write about sara palin.

Update 2:

Without a strong military what good is getting an abortion or for that matter anything? If we're getting attacked by terrorists 24/7 it doesnt matter how many jobs we have, how much healthcare costs, how much we protect the environment. We need to fight them over there, not here, take India or parts of Europe as an example.

    I would say you're more of a neo-conservative. This would fall in the line of Regan, George Bush Sr., George W Bush, John McCain etc.

    Palin. Although, I would not really consider her a politician.

    Any Republican who refuses to learn anything about the issues that they have an opinion on. So....most of them.

    Why Planned Parenthood? They have helped 1 in 5 women in America. Meanwhile, we spend almost as much on our military budget than than all other countries military budgets combined.

    Pretty normal national security/neocon Republican besides the gay marriage thing.

    Dick Cheney

    Instant check though? I don't think that'd be something he'd support.
