Last week, the Republican Party put the finishing touches on its 2008 election platform, which the party will officially adopt this week at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN. Many on the right have indicated that this year’s platform represents one of the most conservative in the history of the party. For example, the legislative advocacy arm of the ultra-conservative Family Rights Council hailed the 2008 platform as the most “conservative, pro-life and pro-family platform in Republican party history.”
