... is apparently, wait for it, their platform.
That's right. Their PLATFORM.
According to ThinkProgress, no less a personage than Senator McConnell, the Minority Leader (Oxymoron alert), is so proud of it, that they're going to keep it under wraps until late September.
Let's go over a couple of things:
This is an on the record statement, so goal number one is to make the GOP reverse themselves, or offer retractions, etc. How? By hammering home one simple statement:
A Party's Platform cannot be their October Surprise.
Goal number two: if they won't retract, and stand firm by this, then our side can basically claim anything, and force them to deny it. Heck, they've already all but formalized proposals to dismantle Social Security, the 14th Amendment, and god knows what else. Plus the bonus of tax cuts for the rich at the expense of everyone else. Seriously? Define them in whatever terms you please, since they won't state what the stand for.
Goal number three: Ask the next obvious question:
Why is the GOP so afraid of stating what they stand for? What ARE they hiding from the American People?
Bonus round: When geniuses like Sharron Angle state that the press should only be allowed to ask the questions politicians want to answer, ask them this:
SO, does that mean you would support Bill Clinton having not answered questions about Monica Lewinsky?
Hammer them on this, please...
