Release the Krapen!
Are LGBTs bashed? I so want to be bashed!
I heard the head of the self hating Log Cabin Republican on NPR tonight. He claimed the platform is the absolute worst ever for LGBTs. Still, he’s happy, happy, happy to be one of them! Because…reasons!
I couldn’t get past the first few paragraphs before the stench got to me. This is crazed. Total and complete bullshit. A fascist manifesto.
“2016 Republican Platform Released.”
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll hurl.
I cannot get the page to upload. Tried refreshing, opening up new page, etc. Nothing. Keeps coming up with error (but non-specific).
Finally got it. OMG – 66 pages?? No. I watched too much derp already. I’m not going to read through it, too.
EMPs as a real threat: The party also adds a fear that “an EMP is no longer a theoretical concern,” and urges the federal government to take action over the threat of electromagnetic pulse weapons. (They’re wrong about this, as Vox has previously reported.)
Say what?
More weird crap here.
Edit.
Still, political scientists argue that there’s plenty of good evidence that the platform really may be the best way to understand what policies a party would pass in office.
Lee Payne, associate professor at Stephen F. Austin State University, went through all of the platforms by both the Republican and Democratic parties from 1980 until 2004. He found that from 1980 until 2004, both Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress voted in accordance with their platforms 82 percent of the time.
“Members of the House and Senate vote in line with the party platform at a very high rate,” Payne says. “So, yes, I would say it matters.”
The GOP must not prevail. This is the nth power of madness.
How’d it translate from the original German?
Sex is Man on Woman, missionary-style only.
“Rebirth of a Constitutional Government.” Don’t they mean “Rebirth of a Nation?”
Is Scaliaison a word yet? At the rate they’ve channeling the late justice from his undisclosed location – hint: deepest purgatory – it should be. All Scalia, all the time!
A threat to national security!
Wow. Explicitly condoning mental torture on children. Conversion therapy fucks up EVERY child who has ever endured it and is still physically alive.
Seriously, Log Cabin Republicans? You are my brothers and sisters – you seriously think this is okay? OMG, I want nothing to do with you people.
The Hijinks continue.
MSNBC reporter, Kelley O’Donnell just got kicked out of the convention and Rep. Steve King just said on an MSNBC panel that only white people (US and Europeans) have contributed to world civilization.
Suck it Chinese, Mayans, Egyptions, Arabs, etc.
Wow. This thing is turning out worse than I thought.
I did make it through the entire acknowledgements and intro. That was clear enough that it was not necessary for me to rid the rest…sadly
Oh, and yeah, 66 pages?!?

Anyone else notice the typo in the Preamble: “Our standing in world affairs has declined significantly – our enemies no longer fear us and our friends no long trust us”. Seriously - proof reading – not that hard.
Kris Kobach’s been busy contributing to the R platform because Kansas is too small for his big dreams…
He has been a principal contributor to the Republican Party platform. He wrote two pages of hard-edged immigration policy centered on Mr. Trump’s hateful fantasy of a wall that the plank trumpets “must cover the entirety of the southern border.” He helped write a plank condemning the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. He also helped write another setting the Republican Party squarely against any ban on assault rifles and large-capacity ammunition magazines.
Sound kind of like Ugg. Hey Ug, you there? What words mean?
