What say you guys and gals? I haven't seen a platform, and being this disorganized with 3 months to go isn't making me all warm and fuzzy. Approval ratings won't defeat dirty tricks and dead people voting, illegals voting, and voting machines found in democrat poll watchers car trunks!!! (yeah, I remember that).

Opine, please.

The GOP platform will be coming out in September some time. Not much point in bringing it out when nobody is really paying attention.

The Republicans sole purpose is to serve as an ineffective alternative to the communists.

It is a mistake to think they would actually try to implement the ‘will of the people’ should the communists ever let them back in charge. Their only purpose in that event would be to ‘take the fall’ for the failure of communist policies and accelerate the move toward one-world government.

The Republican party hasn’t changed. I hope no one here is counting on them to be any different once we elect them this fall. They always cater to conservatives when they’re running & then throw us under the bus once they get elected.

When are we going to learn?

The Republican platform should be a plank to march the current set of clowns off the ship

"Where is the Republican platform?"

Starve all of Obama's agenda, past, present, future.

There is only ONE issue for NOV.

CLEAN HOUSE.

Frankly no amt of signs works for the media. But if everyone carried a BROOM, that is a message even the Journo-list would understand.

GOP leadership cares more at getting a ‘seat at the dinner table’ with the lefties and being liked by the media than actually agreeing on a plan.

Umm. The ‘Pubbies had alternatives for health care, the budget, etc. The MSM decided we didn’t need to hear about it and let Pelosi and co. say stuff like “Where is your alternative?” without challenge.
The same probably is occurring here. The ‘Pubbies have a platform: Make the Bush tax cuts permanent, roll back health care rationing, etc. But you’re not going hear a darn thing from the MSM.

Right — Republican Party is populated by too many gutless RINO’s to TAKE principled positions on these issues — and many more. They want to get elected because they “are not Democrats.” Which will work for ONE election cycle. BUT it’s NOT leadership — and it WON’T save our nation nor restore our Constitutional Republic.

In 1937, U.S. Senator Josiah Bailey of North Carolina was concerned that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal programs were leading America and North Carolina down the road to collectivism. Although he did not oppose every attempt at government intervention, Senator Bailey believed that limitations should be placed on government growth...

The planning and writing of the manifesto were done without the knowledge of FDR. Eventually the secretive work of the bi-partisan alliance was leaked, and fearing political repercussions, many Senators denied any involvement with the creation of the Conservative Manifesto. Bailey, however, accepted responsibility.

According to Moore, the Conservative Manifesto’s ten points were as follows:
1. Immediate revision of taxes on capital gains and undistributed profits in order to free investment funds.
2. Reduced expenditures to achieve a balanced budget, and thus, to still fears deterring business expansion.
3. An end to coercion and violence in relations between capital and labor.
4. Opposition to “unnecessary” government competition with private enterprise.
5. Recognition that private investment and enterprise require a reasonable profit.
6. Safeguarding the collateral upon which credit rests.
7. Reduction of taxes, or if this proved impossible at the moment, firm assurance of no further increases.
8. Maintenance of state rights, home rule, and local self-government, except where proved definitely inadequate.
9. Economical and non-political relief to unemployed with maximum local responsibility. 10. Reliance upon the American form of government and the American system of enterprise.

Those 5 things sound exactly like Rand/Ron Paul’s platform. Perhaps a tad on the light side, but all in all, very much so.

I also happen to agree with all 5 points.
