Here is the Republican Platform!
Here is the Republican Platform!

by Dave Bradley @ Blog for Iowa

1) We promise to destroy Medicare as you know it. Eventually we will destroy Medicare altogether. Buy insurance from our contributors or die.

2) We still plan to end Social Security. We will hook you up with a Wall Street betting account. Good luck.

3) Ending taxes for the rich is still our top priority. Make no doubt about that. If you make a million bucks a year, we got your back. Others need not apply.

4) We also plan to kill unions of all stripes by creating laws that make them impossible to organize or fund. Without unions and with outsourcing, American labor will be really cheap for business in the coming years. We really don’t care about jobs, just keeping labor costs low. Speaking of low cost labor – what do you think desperate 67 year olds will work for?

5) We want to put health care decisions back where they belong – in the hands of the insurance companies.

6) One group that should not be allowed to make their own medical decisions is women. They are the breeding material. After that, what good are they?

7) We intend to privatize everything that governments do today.

- Schools
- Utilities
- Roads and bridges.
- You name it we’ll privatize it.

8) We will continue to work hard to separate Americans into groups such as ethnic groups, religious groups and of course a special category for gays.

9) What the generals want, the generals get. No price is too high. Enlisted folks however are another story.

10) And don’t forget, we love God and Jesus.

Great article in full: http://www.blogforiowa.com/blog/_archives/2011/4/19/4798390.html

5. Speaking of Ayn Rand,
apparently Paul Ryan require his staff to read her -

Does Paul Ryan’s admiration for Ayn Rand make him pro-terrorist?

It is a right wing site, so beware of idiocy from comments.

12. The Rand philosophy does not work with the US constitution.
It's subversive and undermines our democracy, yet he makes his staff read it? I think that a person's reading material should be up to them if they are working for the government.Unless it's procedural or speaks to the make up of the community they serve. Rethugs are such controllers.

7. This is called fascism, boys and girls
According to polls, people are not actually all that stupid.

Get it started, and they will come. Massive marches, general strikes, occupation of capitols and schools and banks.

The system is dead. You can play around with your recalls and your taking it to the courts if you want, but remember that they own the voting machines and the Supreme Court. So good luck with that.

10. Should be in every school and court-house. This is a more important message than the 10 Commandments
