Bob Schaffer: Are Colorado Republicans still that extreme?

Wow, like Markos says, Bob Schaffer is a batshit crazy extremist. Here's Bob Schaffer's 2000 "platform":

• "Republicans fight for a civil society. Democrats are the tax collectors for the welfare state."

• "Republicans are for a strong national defense. Democrats send troops to Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti and Somalia."

• "Republicans want to build a national anti-ballistic missile system. Democrats don't. Republicans celebrate the collapse of the Soviet Union. Democrats maintain an ABM treaty with a communist government that no longer exists."

• "Republicans replace their own leaders for moral failure. Democrats promote theirs in such cases. We call a perjurer a criminal. They call one `Mr. President.' "

• "Republicans are for free market schools. Democrats are for government-owned monopoly schools."

• "Republicans are pro-life. Democrats are for subsidized partial birth abortion on demand."

• "Republicans support racial equality. Democrats are for quotas."

• "Republicans judge people on the content of their character. Democrats believe one's orientation or preferences are no basis for judgment."

• "Republicans defend gun rights. Democrats point guns at 6-year-old Cuban kids."

• "Republicans defend religious freedom. Democrats incinerate religious zealots and their children."

• "Republicans enjoy free speech. Democrats enjoy desecrating the Virgin Mary's image at public expense."

• "Republicans are for a clean government. Democrats set big forest fires in New Mexico."

• "Republicans promote Liberty. Democrats promote liberalism."

• "Republicans embrace the motto `In God We Trust.' Democrats declared Ohio's motto `With God All Things Are Possible' illegal."

• "Republicans honor the Right to Pursue Happiness. Democrats invented entitlements."

• "Republicans want cheaper prescription drugs. Democrats want drug legalization."

• "Finally, Democrats work hard to beat Republicans. Republicans must crush them in November!"

Do Colorado's Republicans still believe this crap? And will they let the most extreme amongst them determine the fate of the party? Stay tuned.............
