The Swamp

by Katie Fretland


The Republican National Committee launched a new online discussion forum today, inviting members of the public to help shape the policies of the GOP platform for the next four years.

In an introduction to the website at www.gopplatform2008.com, RNC Chairman Mike Duncan asked for "your ideas, your issues and most importantly of all, your aspirations."

The public can post entries on the website using their own words or videos on seven issues: accountability in education, energy and gas prices, health care reform, jobs and economic growth, judicial nominations; national security and protecting American values.

Platform Chairman Kevin McCarthy urged users to help craft the party's platform using the Web.

"We want to hear your ideas, because the time has come to fix a broken Washington.and fight for solutions, McCarthy said.

1. I say we post stuff like "Any one who isn't full tilt McCain get out of this forum" That

should drive off a lot of potential supporters before they even get started.

2. Should I go on there and repeatedly urge them to make abortion

a capital offense? That should win them lots of friends among the general public.

3. I'll certainly check it out

I'd like to let these Neanderthals hear from someone other than the yes men who seem to be running their show.

4. OMG

Most grassroots-driven platform development effort in the history of American politics?

lol

5. They do have

an over-blown sense of self importance don't they?

McCain doesn't even know how to use a computer. :eyes:

7. It's either that, or they are grasping at straws and are

trying to start over because no one has a clue. The latter is potentially more worrisome, but not for me.

6. Bet they shut it down within a month.

They don't care what their constituents think. They are a top-down, authoritarian organization and people who disagree with them are irrelevant.

8. Oh, they'll get my ideas all right.
