Republican Platform Promises Return to Constitutional Government

So after days of playing games to make sure the most Constitutional of all Republicans impact is kept to a minimum, the Republican party releases their platform just released promises "A Restoration of Constitutional Government." I have my doubts this is the establishment's intentions after the games I have watched this week transpire against the one man who fought his entire Congressional career to get the Republican party to follow the Constitution. That of course being Ron Paul.

The Republican party of course is the party that gave us the Patriot Act that gives the federal government power over the Fourth Amendment. They fought for the National Defense Authorization Act with its indefinite detainment language that gives Obama the power to indefinitely detain any American without due process. They even suggested in 1994 the federal government can force you to engage in commerce with a federal healthcare mandate. You know this now as Obamacare.

So after attacking liberty loving people who fought for a Constitutional Republican Party, here in Christian County Missouri, the Republican Central Committee decided to run an ad days before the last election accusing libertarians of trying to hijack the party as they were forced to fight for their committee seats, why should I believe the GOP seriously wants to return to the days of a limited Constitutional federal government?

I absolutely don't. This is pandering to the Tea Party, and they hope the Tea Party will buy it up just in time to vote for perhaps one of the greatest threats to the Constitution ever--Mitt Romney. Remember, Mitt Romney pushed harsh gun control laws in the state of Massachusetts, far harsher than Bill Clinton's assault weapons ban. It was Mitt Romney who also believed in the mandate that forces people to purchase healthcare.

These are just words and I predict as usual, the Republicans won't deliver on the actions. Remember, two years ago they promised us they would look to the Constitution before passing a bill and label the bill with which part of the Constitution gives them the authority to pass it and enforce it. They passed the Patriot Act without any real debate on whether it was Constitutional.
