America needs the political equivalent of the non-denominational church.
I been in Nevada five months now. The Nevada Republican Party has convinced me to register Independent.
I know Clark County which has the big population city of Las Vegas did this a few weeks ago. One could say what do we expect from Las Vegas and Nevada.
I’m just glad that you can look up the state platforms of most GOP’s and they are solidly for the right to life.
I certainly don’t think we will see a trend of this on a wide-scale basis, perhaps a few states could go that way.
It figures...
Theres a lot of Mormon Republicans in Nevada..
but not a lot of Conservatives..
and then there’s Harry Reid’s influence..
“Theres a lot of Mormon Republicans in Nevada..”
LDS or FLDS?
of course - the land of cat houses and casinos.

Mormon% of Population
60% of Utah
24% of Idaho
4-5% of Nevada.

I’d look elsewhere to find fault.
Nevada has casinos, prostitution, unions, I might look at other factors.
Certainly doesn’t mean I’d approve of Mormon stances on issues.
The repubes are reminding me of the dems at their convention when they denied God three times before the “cock” (Bill Clinton) crowed.
whats the difference ???
(Bill Clinton spoke afterwards, if I remember correctly.)
Given what is going on north of them, I’m surprised they didn’t also strip out the rule of law and land rights from the platform.
From reading the article, Nevada still has pro-lifers, they I will support, the pro-lifers. Maybe the other Nevadans will come to their senses.
Also, to keep it simple, I wonder if Libertarian thought could have influenced this.
Remember that Romney disagreed with the pro-life platform.
Remember that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider spent millions dissing Romney.

Now, Romney may be criticized on his abortion stances in the past, however just saying “Romney disagreed with the pro-life platform” in the year 2012 I don’t believe is something that can be backed up.
Didn't the Paulbots take over the state party organization?
Exactly, something like that happened to their primary alright. I just didn’t want to go after Paul because I feel a number of his/their supporters aren’t really espousing Ron Paul ideas, Libertarian Party ideals maybe.
“Didn’t the Paulbots take over the state party organization?”
Yes, they did. But they must have lost their majority at that convention, because Sue Lowden won the party endorsement, and Paultards hate Lowden almost as much as they hate logic, national defense, Judeo-Christian ethics, and Israel’s right to exist (their hatred of Lowden began when she was state party chair in 2008 and she stopped the Paulistinians from rigging a state convention for Ron Paul, who had been trounced by Romney at the local caucuses).
That being said, Paultards usually support abortion-on-demand and special rights for gays, so I guess that there were enough Paulistinians at the convention that, when their votes were aggregated to those of RINOs, there was a majority for removing abortion and marriage from the state party platform.
