The 2 Platform Questions Radicals Won't Answer

I love it when an opponent can be rebutted simply by repeating the words he either ignored or didn't comprehend. I repeat: "You can even ignore the parenthesized parts if subjunctive thinking isn’t your forte."

 

My questions were:

1. What in your opinion is the most important libertarian principle that (a 2/3 majority of NatCon delegates would agree) is missing from our Denver Platform?

2. What in your opinion are the most important specific policy questions that (a 2/3 majority of NatCon delegates would agree) do not have any answer in our Denver Platform but should?

The point of the parentheses was this: we went into Denver with an amputated platform, and we had only about six hours of floor time to fix it for this presidential election cycle.  It's simply inane to think that the Platform Committee cared only about "conformity" and not about Libertarian principle.  What we cared about was: how much Libertarian principle can we get the delegates to put back into the Platform in those six hours?  The 2008 Platform was finished with only about 2 minutes to spare.

I'll re-state my questions for the parentheses-impaired:

1. What in your opinion is the most important libertarian principle that  is missing from our Denver Platform?

2. What in your opinion are the most important specific policy questions that do not have any answer in our Denver Platform but should?

You can either answer them, or not.
