That is the link to the GOP party platform. In discussions with my conservative friends today, I decided I should look at what they officially stand for. All I’ve heard in this election has been “NO. Not Obama. No no no.” And the “Party of NO” hasn’t shown that they have a solid unified alternate solution. So I looked at this page and tried to decipher, just from the pictures and a little history on Republicans, what it is they plan on standing for in 2012. Here it goes!
Jobs and Economic Growth Plan!
Inflation and Unemployment are key to lining our big corporate friend’s pockets! From 1980 on….we have encouraged this!
Foreign Policy, National Security, and Defense
We’re okay with black guys in the military now!
Energy, Environment, and Agriculture
Alternate forms of energy?! Pfffff. See that there? That is oil. Gasoline. Texas Tea. The smell of money, honey!
Healthcare, Education, and Labor
See these young people? They are already in debt from school, and should be in debt from private only K-12 if we have anything to do with it. Those that can’t afford, can learn the important value of hard work. Impoverished kids should be laborers! The sick one’s we can weed out without proper healthcare coverage.
Government Reform
‘MERICA!!! We just want to run the government so we can give it back to the people…we swear!
Family Values and Faith Based Issues
YES! Look at that happy hispanic family! We are okay with this, as long as they can provide papers while driving to get groceries, and that little boy isn’t gay. Mexican Americans are important to our party!!! We are diverse!
So, I don’t know about you guys, but, that is what I got.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. No matter what your political ilk, please vote when you can, locally and statewide, and nationally! It matters. Know your values and opinions, and match them to a party that you feel fits your heart and mind.
Peace!
Love this blog! Your words are so true. I personally think “conserve” should be taken out of conservative, when referring to Republicans; they don’t really conserve anything, care about the future of our evironment or care about the welfare of ALL the people in our country. My view of Republican attitudes: Look out for yours; use up our most valuable resources with out a plan, for the future, for when s**t really hits the fan (should have been subsidizing innovation in renewable energy sources 30 years ago, not oil co.’s); abolish the fairness doctrine (Reagan, did this) and don’t ever bring it back, because if people really knew the truth they couldn’t be manipulated by mass marketing and by news as it is reported (not including PBS news). And I could go on and on and on. I can’t stand the way Rebulican polititions view the world!
