Comments for Political-Party Platforms Don’t Matter, the Media Say, but ... at http://www.rcreader.com , comment 1 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.rcreader.com Thu, 23 May 2013 06:05:22 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.rcreader.com/commentary/political-party-platforms-dont-matter/#comment-2124 Having researched radical right terrorist groups in this country, and having dealt with their threats against various organizations over the years, I recognize the rhetoric and it's sources. Iowa has bigger problems than it thinks. Better than half of this document has been influenced HEAVILY by radical right terrorist groups. The quote from Cicero is quite appropriate, given the source of many of these planks. A platform is a snapshot in time of the people at the policy-making level in a Party. Be VERY worried about the Iowa Republicans. 7.25 says it all. As for McVeigh, I'm sure you can do your own research into both them and their writings. In particular, pay close attention to their renunciation of citizenship statements from the early 1990's. Given the level of the rhetoric being based on domestic terrorist dogma, I'm willing to bet that the RPI nominates Palin in 2012. - Jim Bryant Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:11:54 +0100
