Republican leadership makes startling statement to their grassroots.
You don't matter.
Even the Chairman of the Republican Party, Reince Priebus, has stated that the platform, that will be voted on by all the delegates at the Republican National Convention, means absolutely nothing to how Mitt Romney will govern. The majority will vote on a platform to be adopted as the principles and beliefs of the Republican Party and, in effect, it is meaningless.
This is a big story.
If the Democrats were to say something likewise at their convention, the voters would throw all of them out of office. They would not dare to tell the voters at the grassroots that they can vote on a platform but the leadership at the top will call all the shots. Just get on board and help us get rid of that evil Obama! That is all they ask.
The degree of deception is remarkable. It is unbelievable that there are so many people (Republicans) that would be fooled by a few "leaders" at the top who only give lip service to their most basic beliefs. But, that is what they are being told. And the denial will be equally remarkable.

Yes. 
This may seem so obvious to us but to Republicans it is mind-boggling, in my opinion. We have a duty to enlighten them. :tongue-in-cheek:
Don't think of it as futile, the little chips in their... "ahem"... logic
appear over time, generations and 
. How many times can unchecked greed masked as archaic exceptionalism wreck even the most alcohol addled voter's whole world before it starts to soak in that their own choices destroy their own health/survival/happiness? OR... what their offspring observe: Think of your own parent's antiquated views, logical "in their time" simply doesn't match our current overpopulated situation? My own attempted to drive their own race-exceptionalism value system into siblings and I, none of us see any sense in it today.
Words resonate when the facts that reveal themselves are undeniable.
Or is it?
