It took me a while to track down the exact
10 point checklist the RNC has drafted. I had to have a look at it, just for the laughs, you see. And, it is quite the read, I have to say. It's quite striking. Seven of the points say "oppose" or a form of it. So, seven of the points are straight out anti- statements. One of the remaining ones could just be worded "we oppose gay marriage," but they probably thought it would sound bad. The remaining two are basically "we support war." So, yeah.
When you define yourself by what you're against, it doesn't say much about who you are.
Maybe that's the problem with the republicans. They're defined too much by what they're against (which mostly are gays, minorities, and the poor). They're against taxes. I guess they're for raising the national debt by lowering taxes and borrowing from China. That's something right? But, I think this list does a lot to emphasize just how badly they are doing, and how little they really are. I mean, they keep mentioning Reagan in the preamble.
Reagan?
Yeah, because they have had nobody since! Bush Sr? Bush Jr? McCain? Palin??? Please. And, who do they have now? A black man wannabe (who happens to be African American), so they can look "hip" or some other such uselessness.
Of course, this will never be used. It's just some grandstanding about "core values" nonsense. If they did pass it, they'd probably lose tons of Republicans. It's just that strict. Then where are they? By becoming more and more inbred, they're only hurting themselves. Not that I'm upset to see them hurt themselves, but in the meantime, this circus is hurting the American people. Sheesh
