Its a thin coat of paint now.
Other than making sure Obamacare survives, and amnesty survives, there is no platform.
Sure, just put your finger in the wind (or ask the Chamber of Commerce what it thinks).

This is where we are.
The GOP has a platform??? If it does its as firm as Jell-0. lol
That ***hole, Steve Schmidt, was on Morning Joe this morning screaming that this. I can’t believe poor Sarah had to put up with this creep.
it should not...
Celebrate Perversity should NEVER become an accepted part
of the Republican platform
If this is the road they are determined to go down, the elephant is most definitely dead.
It’s amazing how 3% of the population has managed to overturn our entire society. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.
I wish that low-information states would wise up to the reality that, regardless what pro-gay activist judges and justices are saying about gay marriage, the Constitution’s silence about marriage means that its’s ultimately up to legal majority voters of each state, not the federal government, to decide a given state’s marriage policy.
The only reason that the GOP platform opposes gay marriage is to win votes on the issues like Democrats do, the feds actually having no constitutional authority to address many such issues.
The current one is not a thin coat of paint.
It is a real shame that more people don't take the time to read the RNC platform.
And then read the DNC one in comparison.
There is no starker difference between any group, anywhere.
“See, see you mean-old right-wing extremists, now we can focus on economic issues! Who cares if two people of the same gender marry, OK? We can go back to beating our chests celebrating a minor decrease in federal spending!” < /GOP flunky >
Will opposition to gay marriage disappear from the GOP’s party platform?
Thats homosexual marriage as “gay” is something they are far from. It had better not disappear or the GOP will be the thing that ends up disappearing.
Our Constitution was made for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.
That familiar statement tells us:
Our Constitution was not designed to PREVENT the imposition of abortion, gay marriage, etc., etc., on the American People, once the American People decide they do not care if abortion, gay marriage, etc., are imposed on them. (Of course, nothing in the Constitution can prevent these impositions, either.)
The Constitution was designed for the government of a morally and politically healthy people. If the people are corrupt, the Constitution can do nothing for them.
The Left (e.g., Unitarians, Quakers, Communists, Eugenicists, etc.), from the 1780’s on, has had a plan to destroy Christianity, and the family and marriage, and the Constitution. “Our” side has had no plan, because they didn’t even know they had an enemy.
Dole said pretty much the same thing just before he got trounced by an incumbent president who had just been impeached.
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
I won’t vote for someone who would define sodomy as marriage.
If the 2016 GOP nominee is pro-same-sex-marriage, he or she will even more surely lose to Hillary Clinton. Ms. Henry won’t tell you that. I just did.
