Las Vegas, Nev., Apr 18, 2014 / 02:03 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Several hundred delegates of the Nevada Republican Party approved a party platform Saturday that lacks a pro-life plank and drops support for the definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
Nevada State Party Chairman Michael McDonald told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he thought the party platform was “about inclusion, not exclusion.”
“This is where the party is going.”
Fewer than half of the original 520 party delegates were present to vote to approve the platform the evening of April 12 at the party’s annual convention, held at South Point Casino-Hotel in Las Vegas.
The platform vote took place long after the convention’s scheduled 9 a.m. start time, and the modified platform had been proposed by a committee, according to the Review-Journal.
The members of the platform committee said they had decided not to deal with the removed issues in 2014 because the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts had made decisions on them.

Let’s see if they formally drop their pro-rancher, pro-private property rights, pro-2nd amendment rights stands too. Haven’t heard much from them so it seems like they have.
THIS is Why Republicans should ~not~ have their convention in Las Vegas in 2016.
Disappointing.
Unfortunately, it's probably why they will.
The GOP doesn’t want us. Where do we go from here.
The pro-life plank in the national Republican party platform is one thing that has kept the judgement of God at bay.
Yes, but this is why we have a system of “several states” - and Nevada is what Nevada is. No reason to necessarily extrapolate anything beyond that necessarily.
They may as well adopt the Rat party platform.
I intend to vote my conscience for the Constitution Party candidate.
IMHO, dump GOP.
Nevada a good place to start.
My idea ?
Bundy’s Brigade should talk amongst themselves and decide which of them will be a candidate for US Senate to replace the crook.
Bundy’s Brigade should form their own party.
They will have national visibility easily.
Their candidates, if elected, should only go for 1 or 2 terms, then done.
True citizen service.
As opposed to the professional political whoring we see now.
I’d be happy to provide them with a short reading list privately to give them a quick anti-globalist’s survival guide.
“Nevada State Party Chairman Michael McDonald told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he thought the party platform was “about inclusion, not exclusion.””
It absolutely sickens me the way liberals twist language to their own perverted ends. Not only did they write God out of their platform, but He is so little esteemed that it doesn’t count as ‘exclusion’ to do so. He is, effectively, a non-entity to them. I guess it’s only “exclusion” when it targets a deviant group. In effect, that implies that only conservatives are capable of being exclusionary. They’re linking us with negative concepts.
It’s just like they corrupted the word “discrimination.” If a black discriminates against a white, why, that’s REVERSE discrimination! You see, the root word has been linked to whites, and I doubt many people even realize that.
I became an Independent during the Bush years, and I haven’t seen anything at all that makes me regret my decision. It’s delusional to think that we can “save” the Republican Party or that it can save us.
“Nevada State Party Chairman Michael McDonald told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he thought the party platform was “about inclusion, not exclusion.””
Or, put another way, the party platform is “about political whoring, not standing on principle.” The Republicans will say anything and embrace any idea if only you’ll just elect them.
Who would vote for a party that is guided by the winds of political favor first and greed second? Unless your idea resonates with the socialist mainstream or you’ve got deep pockets, you’re dead to the Republicans. Their only concern is for themselves and getting elected.
Truly, the Republican Party has become the party of Romney.
Every few minutes, a RINO is born somewhere in the US.
Nevada Republicans should just go ahead and drop “Republican” from their party platform.
Maybe they should just be the Party Party or the Fill-in-the-_____ Party.
The word Republic-an obviously has no meaning to them.
The argument is that you can’t win immigrants and their offspring with pro-life, pro-marriage politics.
RAND PAUL:
“I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”
Nevada Republicans Drop Pro-life, Pro-Marriage Stand
So then they are not Republicans anymore?
They should just switch parties and come out as Dems.........
