[ul][li] The GOP will fight jihadists who seek to impose Shariah law in the U.S. (“There must be no use of foreign law by US courts in interpreting our Constitution and laws. Nor should foreign sources of law be used in State courts; adjudication of criminal or civil matters.”)[/li][li] The GOP “reject[s] the UN Agenda 21 as erosive of American sovereignty, and we oppose any form of UN Global Tax.” Agenda 21 is a widely-ignored “neo-Communist” plan to promote health, empower women, combat poverty,and protect the environment.[/li][li] Bring back the gold standard. (“Now, three decades [after Reagan’s commission rejected a right-wing plan to restore gold standard], as we face the task of cleaning up the wreckage of the current administration’s policies, we propose a similar commission to investigate possible ways to set a fixed value for the dollar.")[/li][li] GOP takes a stand on recent rampages by armed American maniacs: “We oppose legislation that is intended to restrict our Second Amendment rights by limiting the capacity of clips or magazines or otherwise restoring the ill-considered Clinton gun ban.”[/li][li] Although it was FoxNews that recently outed a U.S. Navy SEAL, they blame Obama (“The current administration’s leaks of classified information have imperiled intelligence assets which are vital to American security.”)[/li][li] Et cetera.[/li][/ul]
I can just picture the platform committee, hunched over a large white canvass in a smoky treehouse, furiously scribbling out the mean things Obama has done in crayon an hour before they had to unveil it at the convention. Not that the GOP had much faith in facts before, but this is like they copied and pasted a freeper post and decided it was what the party stands for. Never have I seen as big a group like the GOP with presumeably at least a couple of intelligent people churn out so much shit that could clog up an outhouse

How long until some Liberal points out to them the the Bible was written in the Middle East?
[QUOTE=Mitt Romney]
Paul Ryan and I understand how the economy works, we understand how Washington works, we will reach across the aisle and find good people who like us, want to make sure this company deals with its challenges. We’ll get America on track again.

If there’s one industry that hates Obama to its core, it’s the coal industry. They’ve not been shy about using their astroturf groups to explicitly campaign against the President, and my friends who work in the mines say that they’ve been pretty shameless in telling their employees how they need to vote.
If my employer told me “the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, and that my pay would be docked” how eager would I be to actually vote for Romney? Man, I’d be so pissed I’d be making phone calls for Obama until my fingers fell off.
