After spending 50 years trying to get Roe v. Wade overturned on the legal grounds that abortion is NOT a federal matter, it is utterly hypocritical for anyone in the movement to turn around and claim that it IS an issue for the federal government to address.
“I have to agree with Lindsey on the pro-life issue.”
I do too but that was a given.
Some here seem to forget how much abortion has not only destroyed the family but really the Democrat party as well.
Biden has risen to the top on a pile of dead babies and look what he’s gotten him?
Do we really want this? No we don’t.
Seriously- he should just shut the F up- but he won’t
“...isn’t sitting well with longtime conservatives...”. Huh? I missed it I guess. Butt, linda having a hissy fit is worth it.
Limpsey’s foundational platform is keeping his pals at the Pentagon busy with foreign, pointless, proxy wars.
“Pro-lifers must win the battle at the state level and in the trenches, at abortion clinics.”
Do you really think the war is “over”? No it’s not.
They want to bring back roe. It will never be “over” there will always be a fight to keep roe dead. I thought you all knew this? I thought I spelled this out before roe died?
This is a constant battle. This evil never dies.
People despise you Linda, so shut up because we don’t care what you say.
Let’s stick with what got us here.”
Where?
In a potential tight race against a crooked, senile, pedophile and a no-talent whore?
I’m thinking Linda should be paying more attention to what Trump is saying, and less at “what got us here”.
The platform is of paramount importance to me and I find myself awkwardly in support of Graham
Unborn citizens are being legally murdered to the tune of 2000 per day in this country. It most certainly is a vital part of our platform and to abandon it would further disincentivize the social conservatives that work, donate and run in the Republican Party.
1. I despise Graham.
2. I have voted for Trump 5 times, and donated to his campaigns, and u look forward to voting for him again and will be contributing more.
3. Despite that Graham is correct this time (in the same way that a stopped clock is right twice a day). We ought not to make NAJOR changes to the platform - and I would characterize any substantial change in the Republican Party’s commitment to life being “major.”
4. Trump is going to be the nominee and, as such, has the right to tinker with certain aspects of the platform - after all as the nominee, he’s the head of the Party.
5. Given the state of the race now - with Biden’s (or whomever has been running him, to be more accurate) policies having proven to be a disaster, with his longtime mental infirmity being in the open for all to see, with the Dems eating their own, in public, every single day, and with Trump pulling into a very strong lead of about 6 points nationally - I think that we, as a Party, should dov2 things: a) don’t change our main message, but show where our policies will help deal with various problems that Biden and the Dems created and will do more of, if they control the WH after 1/20/2025; and b) don’t distract the enemy from destroying themselves very publicly by giving them anything to unify about. This is our election to lose at this point, so we should press our advantages and STFU about everything else.
Platforms never seem to go anywhere after Republicans hold power, so I don’t pay much attention to them.
Our platform needs to be Biden is a mental mess, can’t handle the functions of the Presidency, and democrat policies are a roadblock to progress in economic & foreign affairs.
He’s most concerned about the part of the charter that makes every last worthless, rotten, sniveling, lying, backstabbing member of the GOP possible.
There's no reason to change it because the GOP will ignore it, anyway. If the GOP actually fought for the values that they espouse in their platform, maybe this country wouldn't be in the mess that it is in right now.
You are absolutely correct. This issue has been delegated to the states as it should be. It would be wise to nuetralize this issue for the upcoming presidential election leaving the Dems with one less weapon to attack President Trump.
Mittens is gone come January, the Turtle is gonna hide in his shell the rest of his term and Linda needs to position herself as the lead RINO.
UNLESS: THE “PLATFORM’ ONLY CONSISTED OF 60 ITEMS PRINTED IN VERY LARGE TYPE....
WE DO NOT NEED 60 pagers for ANYTHING, LINDSEY
Most Republicans can express their “platform’ in under 15 items
