Keep the GOP Platform Conservative

ALERT: Well, the Republican Party is asking for input from you and I to help set the party's agenda. That's right, it's time once again to write the GOP Platform -- the foundational document that declares to the world, "THIS is what Republicans stand for!"

This is also where the "trench warfare" takes place every four years, between the conservative base of the party, and the "big tent" of liberals, neocons, and good ol' "RINOs" - Republicans In Name Only.

If you've never experienced the passion and determination of our conservative warriors on the front line of this ideological warfare, or the desperate attempts by party bigwigs to "tone us down", here's a sample of what we're up against this year:

At the GOP Convention website, they've set up a webpage where ordinary folks like us can give input on what WE think should be the most important issues for the Republican Party this year. To do this, there is a drop-down menu which lists 20 different issues (including "other"). You can click on the issue which is "most important to you". With your input, they say, the party "will be well on our way to defining the GOP vision for America's tomorrows."

Sounds great. But if you look closer, you'll notice there are a few issues missing from the list they provide you to choose from... specifically, the issues that are most important to the GOP's conservative base!

There's no selection for "abortion" or "pro-life". There's no selection for "Second Amendment" or "guns". There's no selection for "immigration". There's no selection for "family" or "marriage". There's no selection for "religious liberty".

This only gives part of the story. There is a comments section in which you can give suggestions.

Yeah, they should have those as options, but it is not some conservative snub I don't think.

Remember when Dole was running for president, they asked him about the platform, he replied, he never read it. The platform is just something to be argued about, it has nothing to do with their real intentions.
