Bob Dole was asked just after the 1996 Republican Convention if he was going to read the platform. He turned up his nose and said, "Who reads a platform?"

I have NO idea if this is true, but I read over the net that President Bush said "The Constitution is a G-D piece of paper". Is this correct? Do you, or does anyone else know?

Considering the fact that Bob Dole made the above comment that you said he did, given the fact the Juan McCain was the GOP's nominee in 2008, & that, IF true, President Bush's comment about the Constitution, doesn't that say something about the direction in which the GOP is or has headed?

I voted for Harry Browne in 1996 & 2000, & after watching & listening to him on C-SPAN during those elections, I knew good & well that he was a committed pro-life patriot who believed in the Originalist view of the Constitution, as opposed to the Progressive view that the Republocrats have used for the last 80 years. I'll never vote GOP again until they start to respect candidates who believe in the strict interpretation espoused by the Founding Fathers...& STOP insulting the few that do!
