Air and Water, Modest Gun Regulations, Public Schools, Rebuilding
Infrastructure and Good Jobs, Women's Rights, Veterans’ Rights, LGBT
Rights, and, of course, Your Right to Vote.

Let's see what the actual GOP Platform says about these, shall we?
The first two in your laundry list:

Social Security

"While no changes should adversely affect any current or near-retiree,
comprehensive reform should address our society's remarkable medical
advances in longevity and allow younger workers the option of creating
their own personal investment accounts as *supplements to the system*
(emphasis mine). Younger Americans have lost all faith in the Social
Security system, which is understandable when they read the non-
partisan actuary's reports about its future funding status. Born in an
old industrial era beyond the memory of most Americans, it is long
overdue for major change, not just another legislative stopgap that
postpones a day of reckoning. To restore public trust in the system,
Republicans are committed to setting it on a sound fiscal basis that
will give workers control over, and a sound return on, their
investments. The sooner we act, the sooner those close to retirement can
be reassured of their benefits and younger workers can take
responsibility for planning their own retirement decades from now."

Source: 2012 Republican Party Platform , Aug 27, 2012


Medicare

"Give older Americans access to the insurance plan Congress has,
including medical savings accounts. Build on the strengths of the free
market system, offer seniors real choices, and make sure there are
incentives for the private sector to develop drugs. No more
one-size-fits-all. Medicare also needs new measures of solvency. We must
reduce the administrative complexities. A reformed Medicare program will
provide reimbursement at levels that will permit providers to continue
to care for patients."

Source: Republican Platform adopted at GOP National Convention , Aug 12,
2000


So, you see, the GOP is not *against* Social Security and/or Medicare.
They recognize that both programs are dated, heading for insolvency and
something must be done to continue the best in retirement security and
medical care. Sounds sorta "progressive" to me.

More when I feel like looking them up .............

The "changes" the GOP wants will destroy all these programs. Some of

Thank you for participating.

How do you figure that?

You agree that they need "modification" (so does the GOP) yet you say
they will be destroyed if anyone other than the Democrats present ideas
to improve them.

But, that's not what motivated me to post the positions. You just made
a big deal about some Fox News journalist who "made up" a story about
printing ballots at home in Colorado. I agree, it was stupid.

Yet, you do the same thing in your signature line. What makes you
different than the Fox News gal other than the fact that she has nicer legs?

It is only your unsubstantiated opinion that her legs are nicer than mine.

I'll bet a $900 rifle scope on it. :-)

Yes, let's talk about legs rather than the topic because you can't
defend your position. But that's just more of the usual.
