It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of fellows. I mean considering their family values and all I just don't understand how or why the citizenry of this country are abandoning the republicans like they committed a catastrophic social blunder. The public acts like the murder and mayhem in Iraq is tantamount to passing gas at a GOP fund raising event or like the Dixie Chicks publicly criticizing the great and illustrious Decider. What a strange, strange world we reside in!
1) 107 out of 111 delegates were elected who favor Ron Paul and his positions. Only 4 delegates were elected who favor McCain. This was a HUGE and unexpected upset that surpassed the wildest expectations of everyone in our group.
2) Perhaps the most far-reaching and controversial platform position originated from the grass roots organization. It was a statement under the National Sovereignty And Defense heading, "Limiting the executive privilege of committing troops to police actions to a duration of 180 days, without a Congressional Declaration of War" (as the Constitution mandates).

It is interesting if you read the article to see the many ways McCain supporters tried to thwart the fair democratic election of the delegates in #1 above.
I think the GOP is hopeful that Hillary will run on the Ind ticket and split the Dems right down the middle, it's their only hope and they know it. Let's just hope she isn't mean spirited enough to fall for their shameful games.

I can't IMAGE that she would do that. After ALL the screaming she has done about Nader costing Gore the White House. Her running would be political suicide (she wouldn't be able to run for DOG CATCHER). She has way too many political plans to commit suicide.

It would be so easy to whoop and holler with laughter and glee at the demise of the Repugnant Party, if it wasn't for the fact that they have screw us and our country and whoever wins in '08 will have a mess on their hands. Our country's infrastructure is badly in need of repairs and new construction that we are in no position to pay for, our economy is in ruins with the dollar at an all time low and being supplanted by other currencies, our military capabilities have been eroded, our constitution has been trampled and all the while the poor gets poorer and the rich gets richer and the middle class is crumbling. But on the bright side, Bush and the Repugnants will no longer be in a position to "stay the course".
