The Texas GOP Platform? What GOP Platform?

by Graham Email

You will rememember that the Texas GOP published a pile of cack called their Party Platform a little while ago. The Platform was subjected to well-deserved ridicule because, well, it is full of idiotic crap.
The reaction of the party? Well, if you or I opened our mouths and said something irredeemably stupid, and we were ridiculed for it, we might think about admitting at some point that we said something idiotic. I say might, because we all know the person who, having said that the Earth is flat, will contort themselves for ever attempting to justify or rationalize the remark (this is sometimes known as not obeying The First Law Of Holes). The Texas GOP has tried the political version of rationalization - amnesia. Susan DuQuesnay Bankston has discovered that they simply scrubbed the platform from their website. Fortunately I saved a copy in PDF format. Contact me if you want a good laugh or a new bird-cage liner.
