time to get wacky

enjoy these comic gems from the official platform of the republican national convention in 2000:

"The arrogance, inconsistency, and unreliability of the [Clinton] administration's diplomacy
have undermined American alliances, alienated friends, and emboldened our adversaries."

"Gerrymandered congressional districts are an affront to democracy and an insult to the voters.
We oppose that and any other attempt to rig the electoral process."

"Nor should the intelligence community be made the scapegoat for political misjudgments."

"The current [Clinton] administration has casually sent American armed forces on dozens of
missions without clear goals, realizable objectives, favorable rules of engagement, or defined
exit strategies. Over the past seven years, a shrunken American military has been run ragged by a
deployment tempo that has eroded its military readiness. Many units have seen their operational
requirements increased four-fold, wearing out both people and equipment."

"The rule of law, the very foundation for a free society, has been under assault, not only by
criminals from the ground up, but also from the top down. An administration that lives by evasion,
coverup, stonewalling, and duplicity has given us a totally discredited Department of
Justice."

"Sending our military on vague, aimless, and endless missions rapidly saps morale. Even the
highest morale is eventually undermined by back-to-back deployments, poor pay, shortages of spare
parts and equipment, inadequate training, and rapidly declining readiness."
