ABC News’ Karen Travers reports: The Republican National Committee today will unveil a web site, www.gopplatform2008.com, that will allow individuals to log on and share their suggestions and opinions on what should be included in the party’s platform. The platform will be ratified by the party’s delegates at its convention in Minneapolis in September.

Sorry about the link. Don’t know what happened. http://www.gopplatform2008.com

Simple
For the Republican Party to win elected office they need to return to being the Party of Ronald Regan.
They need to grow a spine and stop trying to compromise with those that seek to destroy our Republic and our way of life be they insiders or outsiders......

Like they would listen anyway. I don’t see any reason to waste anymore of my time with them.
Thanks anyway. ;)

pathetic.

Are they trying to invite jokes at their expense?

[50cal Smokepole]

They succeeded. Read some of the text postings.

[Night Hides Not]

Three simple words: Grow a Set!

How about: Drill Here! Drill Now! Pay Less!

Oops, I hear that's taken.

[sinanju]

Looks like most of the postings were in good faith. By far and away just the sorts of things said here.

Definitely what the poobahs should know and support already.

[sinanju]

Who knows, they might even read and act on whats being posted.

I hope this isn’t another of those suggestion boxes that keep the building warm.

Anything has been better than the latest platform:

We are the GOP, we are from the Government and we are here to help.

[mnehring]

Jeeze, did you see the posts there? Apparently the libtards decided to contribute and the wonderful GOP decided to leave their posts up.

[apocalypto]

The platform should include NO AMNESTY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.

I have a suggestion for the RNC and that is Stop Wasting money and wake your Presidential Candidate up before he loses this election.

I hate to think about throwing the lever for McCain but I won't vote for that Communist Obama either.

GROW A SET!!!

I clicked on it but as soon as I saw Senator Richard Burr as one of the elites I clicked off. FReepers will remember his conduct during the total amnesty/open borders fiasco. He passed on the vote then eventually voted the right way...but didnt like it. If the RNC/GOP wants to move forward they need to dump the empty suits.

They need to beat the Democrats over the head with this oil thing, Oil prices have doubled since the Democrats have been in control. Next beat them over the head with not allowing any debate on drilling off shore or in Alaska. Oil is what the American Public is most worried about this time, and the Democrats should be hung on this petard.

The inmates are already running the asylum.. what else could they possibly want?

This is how feckless and myopic the Republican Party has become. It is a party without ideas or grandiose visions for America anymore. It's all about appeasement, me-too socialism that's going to destroy the party.

Conservatives shouldn't offer the GOP any suggestions, let them get it from the "moderates."

[ByteMercenary]

Did not many of the submissions seem a bit too sterile? One point with a supporting comment in prose that not too many use these days. I think they sort of ‘primed the pump’ on the suggestions. I do not mean to suggest that we should curse and accuse, but many of the entrys were far too mild to be believable.

Start drilling!
