Bucco: It was a chain of events - and apology accepted. Believe me, I certainly understand about getting emotional here in this forum and having things get a little incivil.

I made the comment because the OP made a lot of comments about what appeared to be various planks of the GOP platform. I made a quick search to see if I could get anything like the policy statements that I'd gotten before and failed. *My* mistake was depending on the 'search' function at the GOP website. I made too much of an assumption. I didn't look at the democrat site because they weren't the subject of the discussion.

Now, having FOUND the actual platform, I do have some issues with parts of it where my *opinion* is that there are internal inconsistencies but that's another debate.
