(This is true, by the way.)

I don't see the significance.

I don't feel like sifting through pages of political masturbation. Just give me the Readers Digest version.

I see they want to prohibit divorce. That should raise a few eyebrows.

Fine, I read it since nobody wanted to do the work. I don't see much out of the norm for the GOP except where they acknowledge abortion by saying a minor shouldn't be allowed to cross state lines to get one without parental consent. Interesting that they assume abortion will be legal if they're in charge.
Otherwise standard stuff that I saw but I didn't dwell on it so I may have missed something.

Goop!

Perhaps .005% of the voting electorate will read a fucking platform.

The rest don't have time, can't understand it, or don't really - really - give a rat's ass. Meanwhile, 24-hours news talking heads, poli-sci wonks and lonely bloggers will masturbate with printed, rolled up copies.

Needs some bullet points and convincing, colourful charts.

Also, the "Social Victory Center" sounds about as exciting as watching a snail run a marathon.

Second Plank:

Abortion Causes Breast Cancer

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jeanine Notter (R-Merrimack), was immediately condemned by Democratic leaders, who it would require false information to be spread by doctors to patients. There is no proven breast cancer link to abortion, according to the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society.

Notter could not be reached for comment Wednesday, but has said in the past she believes there is an abortion-cancer connection. In an interview last month with Merrimack Patch, Notter said she understood that abortion would cause spaces in breast duct tissue to allow for the growth of cancer cells. She said she believed birth control pills lead to the same issue. Notter last month also said that she believed that birth control pills taken by women cause prostate cancer in their male children

There is a nice little bit on their Internet freedom proposal. But I am sure that is just code for raping women and killing puppies....
