Texas Democrats: Republican policy platform is 'disgusting'

16 Wacky Ideas In The Texas Republican Party's New Platform

This is the time of the year I look forward to. This is when Republicans in Texas release the always hilarious "Texas State Republican Party Platform". It never disappoints and this year is certainly no exception.

The Texas Republican Party Platform - pdf

I can't even say "where to begin". It's a treasure trove of ignorance and hate. In fact, even the Republican Party is Texas said it doesn't necessarily represent us.
Well, I have to tell them, yes, it does.

And every time I bring up GOP beliefs, USMB Republicans calls me a liar. And I tell them what I always tell them, "I couldn't lie about this stuff. It would never occur to me." Besides with the rich amount of material Republicans provide, why would I need to make up anything? They make it up for me.

16 Wacky Ideas In The Texas Republican Party's New Platform

From that link:

4) Americans Should Not Be Allowed To Choose Their Own Senators
The Seventeenth Amendment abolished an older practice that empowered state lawmakers to choose their state’s senators, in no small part because the old system “led to rampant and blatant corruption, letting corporations and other moneyed interests effectively buy U.S. Senators, and tied state legislatures up in numerous, lengthy deadlocks over whom to send to Washington.” The Texas GOP platform, however, wants to return to the day when the American people could not vote on their own senators. “Full Repeal of the 17th Amendment of the United States Constitution” is one of the platform’s demands.

Things are much better today, now that we have the 17th Amendment. There is no "rampant and blatant corruption, letting corporations and other moneyed interests effectively buy U.S. Senators" any more.


BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

But in the case of the original model, the moneyed interests had to go from state to state in order to buy influence. Now they have one-stop shopping on K Street.

Bad as things have become, I cannot see where repealing the 17th could possibly make anything worse.

but consider the case in Mississippi's senate primary. Thad Cochran has every endorsement from DC, the chambers of commerce and the state party. He's going to lose, most likely, to an insurgent who has the energy of ... at most .... 250K gopers, in a state where the goper senator general gets 600K in a general election.

Without the 17th, the people have less ability to make a change. And that's why I conclude that the powerful people wanting to do away with the 17th have exactly the opposite of reform in their minds.

Nor can I.

And repealing the 17th could very well result in a drastic reduction of federal preemptions which have been the cause of greatly increasing federal power at the expense of the states.

You're an illiterate idiot.

PREAMBLE
We STILL hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Throughout the world, people dare to dream of freedom and opportunity. The Republican Party of Texas unequivocally defends that dream. We strive to preserve the freedom given to us by God, implemented by our Founding Fathers, and embodied in the Constitution. We recognize that the traditional family is the strength of our nation. It is our solemn duty to protect life and develop responsible citizens. We understand that our economic success depends upon free market principles. If we fail to maintain our sovereignty, we risk losing the freedom to live these ideals.

PRINCIPLES
We, the 2014 Republican Party of Texas, believe in this platform and expect our elected leaders to uphold these truths through acknowledgement and action. We believe in:
1. Strict adherence to the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and United States and Texas Constitutions.
2. The sanctity of human life, created in the image of God, which should be protected from
fertilization to natural death.
3. Preserving American and Texas sovereignty and freedom.
4. Limiting government power to those items enumerated in the United States and Texas Constitutions.
5. Personal accountability and responsibility.
6. Self-sufficient families, founded on the traditional marriage of a natural man and a natural woman.
7. Having an educated population, with parents having the freedom of choice for the education of their children.
8. Americans having the right to be safe in their homes, on their streets, and in their communities; and the unalienable right to defend themselves.
9. A free enterprise society unencumbered by government interference or subsidies.
10. Honoring all of those that serve and protect our freedom.
11. And we believe in “The laws of nature and nature’s God” as our Founding Fathers believed.

Which part didn't you understand again?

http://www.texasgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2014-Platform-Final.pdf

No government subsidies? What will the Texas oil companies say?

Also, number 7. Why do Republicans keep talking about being educated? Number 7 sounds like, "We want to keep our kids out of liberal public schools and teach the Bible to them at home." But it's all about Freedom, of course. Freedom of choice for you but not for anyone else. See number 2.

Or a "guide" to most others. Wait a couple of months and then go look at the GOP party platforms in other states.

Which part didn't you understand again?

You stopped reading after page THREE???????????????????????????

WTF?????????????

Did you get bored?

Check this out:

The Republican Party of Texas supports the historic concept, established by our nation’s founders, of limited civil government jurisdiction under the natural laws of God

You know what that reminds me of? The Constitution of Iraq Republicans helped draft:

Article 2:

First: Islam is the official religion of the State and it is a fundamental source of legislation:

A. No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Anyone that believes in civilization is a socialist.
Infrastructure = socialist
Investing in science = socialist
Police = socialist
Fire = socialist
education = socialist

You fuckers don't know what you're talking about.
