RNC posts platform on website
0
TAMPA, Fla. The Republican National Committee quickly pulled down a draft copy of its 2012 platform Friday afternoon after POLITICO discovered it hidden on the committees web site.
The RNC has kept the document tightly held, refusing to share earlier drafts with reporters. An apparent staff error led to its posting.
A platform committee of 112 members met here Monday and Tuesday to edit the document. They plan to release the full document publicly as the convention kicks off at the start of next week. At that point, the full convention is expected to approve it by voice vote.
The RNC would not confirm that what was posted Friday is the final platform language, but it matches amendments approved earlier this week by the platform committee. The preamble is identical to what was read by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell at an open-press sessionTuesday night.

(611 posts)They want to hollow out our society, like the Mafia destroying a business they've acquired through gambling debt, accruing huge debts, stealing everything possible, then declaring bankruptcy. The global corporations they represent want to suck everything they can out of this country before moving on to India, China, and other places where the cycle is being begun.

(6,286 posts)These folks are nuttier than a squirrel turd. And they want to repeal the ACA and replace it with.... what exactly? Not sure. Looks like a vague hodgepodge of nonsense.
Oh, and "numerous studies show that abortion endangers the health and well-being of women" and so they want to "affirm the dignity of women" by outlawing it.
