GOP Extreme Right Stirs Kettle From Off Camera

[freetobegay]

New York City) Moviemaker Michael Moore is the "anti-Christ." Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter is a selfish hedonist. Cultural wars need fighters from here to Oklahoma.

These are the views of some of President Bush's political core here - delivered quietly and mostly offstage so GOP convention cameras don't see and swing voters don't hear.

Prime-time speeches are reserved for poll-tested words about Bush's wartime leadership and "compassionate conservative" agenda. Cultural conservatism is shunted to the sidelines. The right gets to wing it, but only when the network cameras are turned off or the media are banned.

As when Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas told an invitation-only Bush rally for Christian conservatives, "We must win this cultural war." He offered an agenda strikingly different from anything voters will hear from the convention platform, including a proposed requirement that pregnant women considering abortions be offered anesthesia for their fetuses.

3. If moderate voters really want to know the true GOP platform, ...

all they have to do is look at the actual GOP state of Texas platform -- the one the idiots RW Texas Rethugs actually adopted.
