GOP platform backs off pet issues to help McCain
Posted by "Pat Buchanan, Jr." on August 27, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Here we go again. McCain’s moderate political views are showing up again, and not too soon. Only 5 days until the RNC Convention and McCain is already showing his true colors. For those of us on the Conservative side of the GOP isle, we knew this all along. The RNC caved on some very important issues so that McCain can feel comfortable with the platform. What about those of us who like the platform and are in this party because of it? If McCain doesn’t like the party platform than I suggest McCain find a different party. I’m not quite sure why he’s a Republican anyway. First George W. Bush let’s the Neocons take over the party and now McCain has pulled the GOP all the way to the middle of the isle. Just as the Democratic Party left many blue collar, pro-American voters over the past 40 year, I feel the GOP is leaving, or has left, many of us Conservatives out in the cold. I may have to find a new party.
“Republicans are putting John McCain’s campaign priorities above some of their pet issues, including drilling for oil in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and denying citizenship to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants.
“The panel turned back a move to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants.”
“The platform acknowledges a human role in increased carbon emissions…”
“Committee member Trey Grayson of Kentucky called the document “the greenest platform we’ve ever had.”
Wow, I feel like this is the Democrat platform. I think my party has left me already…

So who is it? Bob Barr? That dude is nuts…
Dude, if you don’t happen to agree with someone you lable them as nuts. Bob Barr is a long term Congressman from Georgia who started the Articles of Impeachment against Billy Boy Clinton. Even the moderate GOP talking head Glenn Beck said he likes Bob Barr. At least Bob Barr talks about things such as illegal immigration, putting a wall on the southern border, English as an official language, lower taxes, less spending, fighting smart wars, defending the Second Amendment at any cost and very importantly questioning the Patriot Act, which I can’t say is very patriotic.
