TAMPA, Fla. — The Republican National Committee quickly pulled down a draft copy of its 2012 platform Friday afternoon after POLITICO discovered it hidden on the committee’s web site.

2. I know that this isn't the final draft,

but man, their platform page looks really cheap. And that part about them prohibiting online gambling is a joke! How can they continue to say they're for "small government" when they want to pass laws on what people can do online? Jeez...GOPhers can't ever get their story straight.

10. I flunked Algebra but at least I admit it

These jokes won't.

Math just fine. Algebra. timing. switching high schools messed me up

6. Surprise Surprise Surprise

They want to gut Social Security.

8. They are upset with the Justice Dept blocking photo-ID voting laws.

Oh and they are crying about foreign laws being utilized in creating judicial rulings. Many of the laws were based on British Law. And any law that is created based on the bible is foreign.

9. Have I missed something about the Indians in regards to the federal government

Or are the Republicans making it up again?
