This is funny:
When the Republican Party issued a clarion call last week for its grassroots supporters to submit ideas online to build the party’s platform, Republican National Committee officials probably weren’t expecting a concerted push for the dismantling of the Federal Reserve and a return to the gold standard.
But Ron Paul supporters have made themselves at home on the the GOP platform site, sounding many of the themes that turned the Texas congressman’s doomed run for the Republican presidential nod into an internet cause célèbre.
This is, sadly, makes no difference as the GOP going to completely ignore the suggestion it so insincerely solicited. More to the point the platform is going to be ignored even before it is ever written. But the gesture, made by those grassroots activists, clearly makes a point.
