Nobody in the RNC or anywhere in the party, that I am aware of, is anti-Catholic or lied to anyone about Roe, the Supreme court or anything.

The RNC does not belong to the Anti-abortion faction, and does not pander to it.

They try to enact the desires and wishes of Christians and Jews everywhere, but do not pander to them.

You can't use the party platform as a promise either. That has been tried dozens of times before. It never works and the platform document is just a opportunity to set direction, not policy promises.

Nobody lied, but if you want to think that go ahead. But, you will not find many to agree with you.

LOL, have you forgotten Bob Jones University? You are as ignorant of this issue as you are of so many others.

Do you know who James Blaine was?

"Nobody lied, but if you want to think that go ahead. But, you will not find many to agree with you."

Some here have advocated they betray us. Others want us out. Here is the President:

McCAIN [to Bush]: Do you believe in the exemption, in the case of abortion, for rape, incest, and life of the mother?
BUSH: Yeah, I do.
McCain: [But you] support the pro-life plank [in the Republican Party platform]?
BUSH: I do.
McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.
McCAIN: If you read the platform, it has no exceptions.
BUSH: John, I think we need to keep the platform the way it is. This is a pro-life party.
McCAIN: Then you are contradicting your platform.

That was a "read my lips" moment. He earned my support then. If he wants to keep it, he needs to act as he has said he will. So must Senator Frist. It isn't subject to debate, either they meant it, or they didn't. If they did, and they act, they keep my vote. Lie, and they lose. Why is that hard for you to grasp?
