Less than a week before the Republican National Convention kicks off, the GOP platform committee was racing into the night Tuesday to finish its work on a policy blueprint.

A quadrennial exercise that occurs before each general election, a 112-member subset of the delegation gathers to hammer together the Republican Party’s official vision, a platform for the presidential nominee to campaign on.

Construction of this year’s platform has taken on increased significance than documents drafted in past years. The party’s presumed presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has strayed from some traditional Republican positions.

I would love to see Trump have something in the platform about the UN preoccupation with Anti Semitic Israel bashing. The USA should warn the UN if it doesn’t start treating Israel a valued member that is a beacon of democracy in a middle east where dictators, despots and terrorism rule by intimidation, then the USA will suspend economic support from the UN until they reflect the original ideals of the UN.

I believe this is what Americans expect for the money we give the UN.

You’re kidding. Dole was about as GOP/Left-wing-mobbed-up as anybody could be. Did he think he was fooling anyone? Wonder what government-limiting plank was in there that Dole didn’t like.
