These pretty much fall into two few categories.
Some are issues that the vast majority of Americans either don't care about or strongly support, and anyone who would strongly oppose it probably isn't going to be voting Republican anyway (1, 3, 4, 5 and 9).
Some are amusingly vague statements that could mostly be statements by every party ever and requires no real action or promise-keeping (2, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11).
Notice how there are no specific commitments or "how"s? There are just specific partisan issues that don't really solve the "big" issues, and then the larger-scale issues get generic, no-details treatment.
This list is perfectly "whatever," but you have to ask yourself: if Republicans couldn't do simple feel-good, broad reform with such a big majority, what gives?
It isn't surprising, and I don't fault the GOP for it, but this ain't no Contract with America.
