She has been fighting feminazis since the 1970s.
Anyone really going to attack HER as being a "sellout" and a RINO?
The Republic is at stake...we have to defeat Obama, even if that means putting a less than perfect nominee in the White House.
Too bad the platform doesn’t mean squat.
All it is is bubba bait.
The platform says one thing while the party does the opposite.
In 2008 they made lots of noise about a strong border control stance in the platform right before nominating Mr Amnesty himself.
The platform is just what the bull leaves on the road.
This platform, the selection of Ryan, and now the backing down on the rules change make holding my nose a bit easier.
Newt’s contract with America was a realistic platform that actually had teeth and held Republican candidates accountable to it. The Rep Pols were so disturbed by this they kicked the guy out of congress and out of the party.
Riiiight.
So when the Demonrats adopt a pro-sodomite, pro-infanticide platform, we are to just shrug it off and say “doesn’t mean squat”? Sure.
Or, conversely, if the Republicans had put in their platform the lines “We reject biblical marriage, think sodomy ought to be taught in schools to kindergarten kids, and infanticide up to three years outside the womb is okay”, then you’d be cool with it—since the platform doesn’t mean squat?
Gimme a break.
I’ll trust Schlafly. She has plenty of experience in these matters.
Phyllis is one to trust when it comes to Republican platforms. If she says its a conservative platform, then it is.
Of course, the platform means nothing when it comes to policy that will be implemented by Romney and RINO GOP leaders in Congress.

I would love a link to the current text of the platform if anybody has one.
“Too bad the platform doesn’t mean squat.”
Platforms are pretty important to me. When I am asked how on earth I could be a Republican, by aghast liberals, I can quickly explain that I agree with most if not all of the current Republican platform, and basically nothing in the Democratic platform.
It’s an honest answer and helps people to realize I vote thoughtfully, not just over vague notions of who is for the little guy or how my parents voted.
The gop is playing on the fence. They put out a good platform, but it’s all smoke and mirrors because romney is pro-abortion, pro-gay. romney does not have to do what the plaform says, and he won’t. Whose going to light the fire on romney’s feet since he’s gone left already? All those people around here who promised to fight him if he goes left changed their mind and is supporting him instead. At least we KNOW he lied about being conservative and won’t be mad at ourselves for voting for a liberal. I never voted for someone who thinks killing an innocent baby and pushing the gay agenda is ok, and never will.
Schahfley is no Rino, but I want gals like her to fight this feminist fight.
Don’t make me own it
Phyllis Schlafly is a real conservative....of course, that is why you don’t hear or see her as much on GOP Media anymore
Without Schlafly...I do not think you would have had Reagan win in 1980. She was truly the leader of the new conservative movement of the ‘70s
Though, you can bet our Liberal RINOs will be attacking her for supporting Todd Akin in the primary...and after the GOP Media trashed him
Now, lets hope the GOPe listens to Schlafly and actually follows the platform
That having been said, I rather doubt that Phyllis preferred Myth Romney as the GOP candidate. She is 88 years old. If she lives to 92 and retains all her marbles, I would expect that she will publicly recognize what a despicable POS Romney is. If elected, he will give her PLENTY of reason. He is not merely "a less than perfect candidate." He is an almost perfectly bad and leftist candidate.
That is exactly why they have them. Just promises made, rairly kept.
Romney’s campaign clarified that with a press release later.
The person who sent out the press release also sent out one earlier in the campaign boasting about Romney’s STATE-run healthcare law. Many here on FR screamed bloody murder over that press release.
If you are willing to believe the press release boasting about the health law (state run), then you ought to be willing to believe the one that clarified the abortion position.
