If you folks believe that ANY political party has ever stuck to the
mumblings put out as a Party Platform, then you wust believe in the
tooth fairy.  Party platforms are nothing more than something to keep
the delegates busy on the second day of a convention.  They are
forgotten by the third day.  They make interesting copy for the media
for about three days and that's all.  The candidates are never pledged
to conform to the party platform, and they never seem to follow it
after an election.  So, don't worry about what the platform says,
worry about what the candidate does or did or didn't do.
