The Republican Party of Texas Platform has been MUCH in the news of late because it is a CONSERVATIVE document and, as such, VERY controversial. I thought it would be an instructive exercise, for those of us who wish to do so here, to go through it plank by plank and see where we stand on these issues. Pursuant to that, I will post ONE plank of the Platform, every few days and anyone who wishes to can state their views as to that particular part of the platform.

Today, under the heading Strengthening The Economy Of Texas And America we find the following plank :

Sunset Laws - The Party supports a mandatory sunset law for the State of Texas that would automatically terminate all agencies or programs if they are not re-enacted by the Legislature every ten years. We also support the establishment of a sunset policy for federal agencies patterned after the Texas Sunset Law.

I have decided to score myself by assigning a score of between 0 and 10 points to each of the planks! 10 means I agree with EVERYTHING in it. 0 means I agree with NOTHING in it.

AMEN! 10 more points brings my running score to this point to 1276 of a possible 1410.

Late again. Oh well - better late than never.

Thread 140: 10 points
Today's Thread: 9 points. 10 years is too long (too much damage to repair). How about a short renewal time frame, like 2-3 years? One point deduction for that.

1188/1410 (0.843).
