The link above takes you to the NY State GOP web page titled "The principles of the New York State Republican State Committee". Please read it completely (Coach) before you judge me, it is a platform that, as written, is almost everything that I believe in. The problem is in the "as written" aspect. You see I believe it is not what you SAY but what you DO, and this is how one should be judged. The document clearly states the following:
As a nation and party founded and supported by people of great faith and unwavering religious beliefs, the Republican Party firmly supports individuals who place their faith in a cause greater than themselves and will remain a tireless defender of individuals’ rights to worship and live their lives based on a high moral code and set of eternal convictions;
While individual members of our party may hold divergent opinions on key moral issues like abortion, the rights of same gender couples, or the definition of marriage the Republican Party remains a “big tent” that respects and welcomes diversity of thought on those issues that are, unfortunately, inherently divisive;
I love the "high moral code" and the "big tent" that respects and welcomes. Again it is not what you SAY but what you DO. I do not know about you but there are a tremendous number of people in our Party that quite frankly I do not want in my tent; specifically the anti-gay marriage, anti- abortion, anti-equal rights, basically with the exception of anti-American if it has anti in front of it, get the hell out of my tent!
Send some one to Washington that will call a spade a spade get in the face of those who interfere with the civil liberties of any one American!
The final paragraph of the Party Principles "As Republicans we believe that our party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government that will create a bright future for ourselves, our children and for generations to come." this could use some work. How about this instead; "As Americans we believe through hard work, open communication and respect of everyone we can create a bright future for ourselves, our children and generations to come!
