Everyone can have an assualt rifle but heaven forbid anyone look at ****!!! How out of touch can Republicans be. Is this really what they are choosing to focus on. Please, please tell me this is a joke. I just went back and looked at the date to make sure this was announced recently. Have they all been on another planet the past few months. Have they missed all that has happened in our country the past two months. Unbelieveable!!!!

Unbelievable is right.

I choose to get the info myself rather than read the Huff Post.

Here is the GOP platform

Oops wrong year sorry. Will do more looking and repost - well it seems not out yet but I will wait to see it.

And here is the Dem platform.

The GOP platform isn't going to be out until next week. They're still debating as usual. However, multiple sources have confirmed the **** focus as part of their public health issue http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/politics/gop-platform-republican-convention-internet-pornography/

The premise of the **** focus is to address child **** and human trafficking, both are important to address and I would hope they are folded into a comprehensive plan for mental health care and general health care. Given the party's ideology to date, I am suspicious of their motives. I admit that I am not capable at the moment of viewing the party's members as anything but buffoons irrespective of Trump.

I will put this info here just so people can read something other than the Huff Post and NYT. Still no platform from the convention that I can find but this is a start.

That was a video of Ryan saying nothing substantive, in order words, business as usual. When you click on speaker.gov link the first thing you see is a statement on the Conscience Protection Act which simply confirms what the Huff Post and NYT have reported. The RNC platform is all about eroding rights.

You have to click on the menu and scroll down to see the info. I am not going to debate with you because it is futile and not worth the effort. You have your opinion and I have mine. People can read for themselves.

Cast you eyes away redwood, this may not be a news source you consider appropriate or valid enough to read. Some scary $hit in this.

I read lots of things including that link you posted. Each of us lives our lives based on our beliefs. I am glad I live in America and have that opportunity.

Why did you take down your Aristotle quote?

 

[Niel]

Just another reason I'm not in the GOP

 

[Matata]

Why did you take down your Aristotle quote?

Are you referring to me? I haven't changed the signatures for several months.

Hmmm. It was on the page when I posted. Weird.

 

[Matata]

Maybe it was an artifact of the copy and paste of the article. Was it in the post or down in the signature box?

 

[Matata]

Oh wait, it's still there. The 2nd line of the sig box.

You are the only conservative left here. .. stop fighting a losing battle...

I have to quit using my phone to read stuff. It seems to mess everything up. But I see no sig lines for anyone on my computer either.

The liberal PSers scare all the conservatives away... This also happened in 2008...

Oh well. We can still be united in the love of bling.
