Dude, we're discussing Paul Ryan, not Todd Akin. Akin's an idiot.

How many threads do you want to discuss this on, all of them?

They are all related and paint a true picture of what you guys really stand for. Its my duty to connect the dots, even the ones you don't want connected. You can't step to the forefront and be the leader of the free world by just blaming the other guy without tying failure to the agenda of the republicans.

I mean the rich guy is running on a platform that he isn't rich enough, and needs more welfare for him and his so called job creators.

How does he pay for it? His plan is on line,read it for yourself and answer the question. He chose a running mate who was part of the down fall of the economy and has voted to stop the economy and ruin the credit rating of the country.

The government is not a CHURCH, and its NOT a business.

Its job is not to promote GOD or cater to those who do, nor is it its job to promote corporate welfare for the rich and already rich. Its JOB is to promote the general welfare of ALL its people.

You want a weak government that lets churches and corporation write the laws we live under, I DON'T!!

So learn the difference between straw and brick before you buy the house next to a cliff. It may be a great view, but also a dangerous one.

That would be fine if you didn't fabricate the dots you're connecting.

and yet that has been the single governing policy of the Obots for 3 1/2 years.

The government is not a CHURCH,

and yet the liberals pray at it's altar .

Sour grapes

and yet the liberals pray at it's altar .

That doesn't even mean anything.

Hello again,

I'm confused... The Republican party PLATFORM has a plank that says NO abortion exception for rape or incest...

Then Reince Priebus said, "This is the platform of the Republican Party; it's not the platform of Mitt Romney."

How is that, exactly??

The platform has been voted on yet . Most times the party platform is finalized in the convention.In the Republican's case ;it will be a Monday vote .

It is also not unusual for the party standard bearer to not agree to many planks of the platform . Priebus is correct in saying it is the party's platform and not necessarily the candidates.

But Mr. Romney would hardly be the first Republican nominee at odds with his party's more absolute opposition to abortion. Just four years ago, the Republican Party adopted a platform with a similar plank seeking an unconditional ban on abortion, even though its nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona, had urged the party in the past to allow certain exceptions.

Simularily ;in 2008 ,the Dems made concessions in their platform to appease the Clintonistas .

What is the point of having a party platform if the candidates are not signed on to it?

[tomder55]

They will . But it will be the party platform ;and not something Romney dictates . I imagine there will be some kind of floor fight Monday with the Ronulans trying to introduce some of their planks.

That's funny! Ronulans! So now we have the romulans and the ronulans working together, just like romulus and rhemus, but remember Rome wasn't built in a day

[tomder55]

It always happens this way. In 2008 the Dem platform supported Gay marriage and their candidate didn't

[talaniman]

Ryan supports his party platform already! The battle is half won on the right.
