No offense, however you do not have the foggiest clue what you are talking about. All the rank and file conservatives want is for the republicans to honor the republican platform they keep voting on and approving every four years when they hold a convention. The platform is agreeable to rank and file conservatives. It also matches the letters that republicans like McConnell send out....seeking votes and donations. I received one such letter from the McConnell camp just a few months ago. It looks conservative, however McConnell's actions and votes to not match. Now you can sit at your computer and suggest that rank and file conservatives wanting republicans to honor their own party platform is just crazy talk, however that merely makes you come off as hyper-partisan. You come off looking like you believe that anything other then liberal or liberal-lite is crazy talk.
Rank and file conservatives wanting Republicans to honor their own party platform may not sound crazy, unless what is in that platform is crazy. Let's look at the
2012 Republican platform.
Admittedly, most of it is hollow platitudes but there are strange assertions, like there is a war on religion. It also uses code words like "traditional marriage," which means against gay marriage. It also uses "right to life" which means anti-abortion -- supporting laws that criminalize health care professions performing abortions.
This one got me:
"As a matter of principle, we oppose the creation of any new race-based governments within the United States." I didn't know there were any.
Then, we have these two that are contradictory:
"The Internet has unleashed innovation, enabled growth, and inspired freedom more rapidly and extensively than any other technological advance in human history. Its independence is its power.
[…]
We support the prohibition of gambling over the Internet […] The Internet must be made safe for children." In other words, we believe in internet freedom, unless it's for something we don't like.
Hmm:
"The public must never again be left holding the bag for Wall Street giants, which is why we decry the current Administration’s record of over-regulation and selective intervention."
The bailouts that left us “holding the bag” happened in 2008, when Bush was in office. Clearly, we’re at the point in the platform where they figured, it’s far in the back of the document, no one will read this thing, let’s just start lying.
"[Abstinence education] is effective, science-based, and empowers teens to achieve optimal health outcomes and avoid risks of sexual activity." Oh really, effective? I think these Republicans just make up facts as they go along.
How about this one, reparations from Vietnam:
"While our relations with Vietnam have improved, and U.S. investment is welcomed, we need unceasing efforts to obtain an accounting for, and repatriation of the remains of, Americans who gave their lives in the cause of Vietnamese freedom." OK Vietnam, while we were blowing up your villages some of our soldier's bodies got left behind. Can you help find them?
There are many more in this 62 page document and any more reading it likely would cause brain damage.
Indeed, the GOP is not only what Bobby Jidal called the stupid party, but they're the crazy party too.
