republican platform

This is a quite scary must-read. via genfoods, Calpundit analyzes the insane Texas Republican platform. While his statements about the Texas Republican party being the guiding light, the trailblazer, or whatnot, for the national republicans, may or may not be fully accurate, I think it’s more accurate than not considering the current administration. The thing is that, as I’ve said before, many Republicans that I know have quite reasonable and respectable views (though I often may not agree), but the direction of the party is towards an extreme and frightening right-wing, fundamentalist fringe. I just want current Republicans to look at and seriously question their party leadership, the platforms and directions that they are going in right now…we can deal with our own little disagreements later, when this larger problem has be solved. And liberal-types out there: it’s going to be hard for them to acknowledge that they’ve been bilked and lied to, so go easy, no I-told-you-so’s, don’t even attempt to convert…let’s deal with that part later, right now, we just need to the get Republicans back on track.
