I'm not entirely non-partisan. While I've certainly been pretty critical of the Democratic Party lately, I'd like to make sure you all remember that the Republicans have some problems too.

In his post, Chris asked for readers to look over the platform, pick a favorite crazy plank, and post it in the comments. I read over the platform, and copied down my favorites to narrow down to one.
