D’ya remember those Republicans...? (cont’d.)

The platform committee didn’t get the memo:

Members of the GOP platform committee voted Wednesday to stick with an energy plank that doesn’t mention drilling in the [Alaska wildlife] refuge... - “GOP platform backs off Arctic oil to help McCain”

And National Review’s Stephen Spruiell thinks it’s a good thing!

By taking a heavy pen to the working draft, the subcommittee prevented a big fight over climate change from breaking out in the full committee, where it would have gotten a lot more press coverage. [Yeah, as if the media isn’t going to notice– you wish! - o.g.] Better a messy draft than a messy split between the party and its candidate on the eve of the convention.

How about trying a little truth? Oh well, nobody believes anything that politicians say, anyway...
