| Message | Glad to see the MLP is out to stop the greatest evils facing Aloria; environmentally friendly cars and free education. |

| Message | Indeed, we should all lie awake at night with worry that our teenagers receive sexual education, and that some attempts are made to rehabilitate prisoners. Do explain, dear Moderates, how shutting down a working independent medical system in favour of the government swooping down and picking up individual tabs, with all the paperwork and procedures that includes, would produce LESS bloat and waste. |

| Message | 1) The government shouldn't be subsidizing what cars people buy. 2) The government shouldn't subsidize education for those who want it and don't want it. 3) Sex ed. should be up to the local school and community. That's where education works best. 4) The government shouldn't subsidize healthcare for those who can already afford it. 5) Bloat and waste come when the government bureocracy gets involved in healthcare. |
