GOP Needs A Stronger Platform

Like a number of my friends, I not very happy with the Republican Party. It's time to get the GOP house in order. The list of  Presidential  candidates is beginning (at last) to make some sense.  There are a number of good prospects and the selection  should easily be able to identify a candidate  able to lead the charge against the Obama nightmare. But the GOP must also have  a solid and coherent party platform. So far, the plavform is pathetic.

• We believe in the sanctity of human life and support the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
• We believe in the traditional model of monogamous, heterosexual marriage
• We believe in the right to keep and bear arms
• We support legal immigration and oppose illegal immigration
• We oppose special privileges, rights, or accommodations based on sexual or behavioral preferences
• We support strict limits on eminent domain
• We support school choice programs, charter schools, vouchers, educational savings accounts and the rights of parents to home-school their children without interference from government
• We support a merit-based pay system for teachers and elimination of union control of our education system
• We support streamlining the environmental regulatory system to protect the environment, encourage business profitability, create jobs, and protect property rights

That's it.

Not a word about a balanced budget, paying down the debt, cleaning up the tax code, redesigning Social Security, ending the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya, reconsidering the President's personal ability to take our nation to war, and so forth?

If the GOP doesn't step to the plate, NO Republican candidate will win!

Guess who will?
