- Corrections To The Republican Platform 2004
-
- From Jim Mortellaro
- Jsmortell@aol.com
- 6-27-4
-
- Here are the corrections to the Republican Party Platform
as presented on Rense.Com. Apparently these were written by the DNC. ANd
whilst we are at it, just what is the DNC platform as defined by their
candidate?
-
-
-
-
- 1. Jesus loves you and shares your hatred of homosexuals
and Hillary Clinton.
-
- 1A. God loves you and shares your angst at our catering
to immorality and eliminating God from our vocabulary as Politically
- Incorrect.
-
- 2. The United States should get out of the United Nations
and our highest national priority is to enforce UN resolutions against
Iraq.
-
- 2A. The United States should address the corrupt nature
of the UN
- and their efforts at a New World Order. Our Highest priority
is to
- protect our Homeland against terrorism.
-
- 3. "Standing tall for America" means firing
your workers and moving their jobs to India.
-
- 3A. Standing Tall for America means closing American
Borders and
- preventing illegal immigration from destroying our culture
(what's left
- of it) and our economy. Not to mention our own saftey.
As to the loss
- of jobs here in the USA, that appears to be a choice
made by Big
- Business rather than our own government.
-
- 4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her
own body but the government has no place interfering with the right of
multinational corporations to make decisions affecting all mankind.
-
- 4A. Some women cannot be trusted with decisions about
the children they carry in their wombs. Which has nothing to do with the
- right of multinational corporations to make decisions
affecting mankind.
-
-
- 5. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime,
unless you're a conservative radio host, in which case it's an illness.
-
- 5A. Being a drug addict is a failing of human nature
and likely a
- reaction against our society's marked propensity toward
making
- it too easy to obtain them. Being "addicted"
is different from being
- "DEPENDENT" on drugs. Which can easily happen
when medications such are too readily prescribed.
-
- 6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise
the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
-
- 6A. The best way to improve military moral is to support
them rather
- than reject their efforts as 'wrong.' Slashing veterans'
benefits has not
- occured. The word "slashing" is a gross exaggeration.
-
- 7. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless
you someday run for Governor of California as a Republican.
-
- 7A. Group sex is a degenerate action unless you are
a former President. Drug use has already been covered above.
-
- 8. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't
have sex.
-
- 8A If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents will
have a more
- difficult time having safe sex. And control of our childrens'
Morality is
- NOT a function of the degenerating school system. It
is the responsibility of the parents. Too bad there are too many of the
former and too few of the latter.
-
- 9. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our
longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money.
-
- 10A. A good way to fight terrorism is to fight it on
our own when our
- former allies, the ones we "saved" from the
NAZI and the Soviets
- decide to realize their international responsibilities
in lieu of berying their heads on the sand.
-
- 10. HMO's and insurance companies have the interest
of the public at heart and require protection against lawsuits from greedy
policyholders.
-
- 11A. 'Smatter, can't you count? HMO's are getting out
of hand. Legislation is reauired by affected states, to reign in the HMO.
- Anyone supporting Tort Reform hasn't had an opportunity
to be injured or medically harmed by improper care. Consider yourelves
- lucky and pray it remains that way.
-
- 12A. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy
while providing health care to all Americans represents socialism.
-
- 13. The writer has not had the opportunity to study the
effects of government (socialized) medicine in countries where they've
been tried. Consider yourselves lucky to have the HMO. At least we get
the medical care we need.
-
- 14A. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are
junk science but creationism should be taught in schools.
-
- 14A. Anyone believing that this is a RNC philosophy is
on drugs. Consider hypnosis.
- 15. It is okay that the Bush family has done millions
of dollars of business with the Bin Laden family.
-
- 15A. It is OK that the Bush family once did business
with the BinLaden family. Just as many had. As the Bin Laden's have done
business with many firms in the USA. Just as it is OK for Cheney to have
ONCE worked for a large consulting firm now doing business in the Mid East.
-
- 14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad
guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business
with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find bin Laden"
diversion.
-
- 16A. Saddam was never a good guy. He, like many government
'leaders' were merely pawns in our game. It's the way of it. If you can't
deal with that, live in a cave stocked with health food and avoid too much
sun.
-
- 15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is
an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in
which thousands die is deeply patriotic and questioning it makes you an
ally of terrorists.
- 17A. A president lying to Congress and the courts is
an impeachable offense. A president who is as immoral as 'he' was is an
unconscionable offense against everything we stand for. Make that everything
we 'stood' for.
- 16. Government should limit itself to the powers named
in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring
the Internet.
-
- 17A. Government should abide by the COnstitution or
ask the nation to change it in an amendment. Government has no right to
ban anything. And government is just as legally required to follow the
Constitution as anyone else.
-
- 17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle
trades but George Bush's Harken Oil stock trade are none of our business.
- 18A. The country has a right to know about both.
- 18. You support states' rights, which means Attorney
General Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have
a right to adopt.
-
- 19A. No. Ashcroft has the duty to follow the COnstitution.
If he does not, he is breaking the law. Besides which ... he can tell the
states anything he chooses. Legally, states do not have to follow his initiatives.
-
- 19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960's is of vital national
interest, but what Bush did in the '80's is irrelevant.
-
- 20A. What Clinton did at any time is of no consequence
as he's lost the respect of this writer and if we are all honest, the respect
of everyone.
-
- 20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist
but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international
harmony.
-
- 21A. On this issue I may take no umbrance. Although
again, the government is not the issue. Call big business. China's minimum
wage is rather steeply reduced from ours. In fact, they don't have one
do they?
-
- 21. Affirmative action is wrong but it is OK for daddy
and his friends to get GWB into Yale, the Texas Air National Guard, Harvard
Business School, the Governorship of Texas and then have the Supreme Court
appoint him President of the USA.
-
- 22A. Monkey juice. Bush earned his degrees and the presidency
was won by law, not by the supreme court.
