Also, what happened to Republicans? The party of personal liberty and fiscal responsibility has done neither for about 30 years now.
Thus the tea party.

Ours aren't contrary to scriptures.
Pumped this is part of the platform. Energizes me, and makes me more likely to try to talk to my friends about a Presidency I've had a ton of mixed feelings about. I'm glad Obama has come down on this firmly. What I think ncsportsnut is ignoring in his prognostications about Obama losing black voters is that maybe, just maybe, it gets some african-americans to challenge or even change their views. Right or wrong, I know a lot of my black friends have become interested in politics because of Obama, with a feeling that perhaps for the first time in their lives, they had gained a level of political representation. So with all this being said, whether or not it was the right political move for the party, I'm very pleased with this move.

How's that going?
that's all subject to interpretation.

Not bad. We didn't get the nominee we wanted but Romney will have to listen to us after he is elected.
Ahahah... No, he won't. If something odd happened and Romney were elected, he would govern as a moderate.

He might try but we would primary lots of moderates like we did two years ago.
Who did you want?
You are right. Romney would be forced right.
I do. The platform is a statement of what the parties stand for.
I don't really mean to derail this thread and can take this elsewhere, but social conservatism is the absolute most ridiculous set of views in the mainstream political arena. There are at least debates to be had about economics and the financial viability of various plans/schemes, but for 95% of social issues the conservative viewpoint embraced by the majority of the Republican Party and the Tea Party is just abhorrent.
