Description | You have to wonder whether this will be picked up on elsewhere. Maybe it won’t. But that it has happened in a place like Spokane, well . . .
The story is that the Spokane County Republicans, the Spokesman-Review reports, “formally rejected the Iraq policy of their current president and their party’s likely nominee, saying American troops shouldn’t be on overseas missions for more than six months without a formal declaration of war. At a county convention that some party leaders said may have set an attendance record for Republicans in Spokane, supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul Saturday handily defeated an attempt to scale back the platform’s stringent limitation on using American troops on foreign soil.”
Aha! It’s those Ron Paul people checking in again; and they did show some substantial strength in Spokane during the February caucuses. |
