I guess that the GOP thinks everything is ok as long as at least a few people in this country are "strong" enough to defend it should somebody try to actually invade us. I didn't think about #2 but, yeah, why wouldn't that make them happy? But then again, they've demonized taxes so much that people tend to respond pretty reflexively whenever you get to the discussion of how SP will actually be paid for. Years and years of deprogramming about taxes alone are probably going to be necessary to condition people to accept SP.
