washingtonpost.com;"No question the Republicans, as the Democrats before them, will strive mightily to present a unified, moderate face this week in New York.The state party's platform, includes a number of planks that you probably won't read in the national platform the GOP will formally adopt this week.Among Iowa Republicans' positions: favoring the abolition of government-mandated minimum wages; supporting landlords who refuse to lease property to cohabiting gays "based on moral objections"; backing termination of parental rights for people convicted of a second drug offense; supporting the teaching in public schools of non-evolutionary theories such as "creation science" or "intelligent design science"; opposing a state program that awards scholarships to students who say they are gay; supporting U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations and the removal of U.N. headquarters from U.S. soil; opposing any socialized national health care system, based on the belief that "health care is a privilege and not a right"; and supporting a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the current practice of automatically granting citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. Not surprisingly, New Yorkers hold a far higher opinion of themselves than Republicans do. Asked to compare themselves with the average American, New Yorkers rated themselves friendlier, more creative, more family-oriented, moral, religious, honest and patriotic than Republicans were willing to give them credit for."
I don't know about the rest of you but if this is the path, Bush is thinking of Taking. Better....Pray he don't get re-elected
