How The Republican Party Has Changed

I was surfing the internet this morning and saw two stories that turned my head.  The first one was a quote from Billy Graham, Jr. regarding Bill Clinton's sexual behavior.  To paraphrase, he said this was wrong and what a terrible thing he did to his wife and daughter.  Then, he makes a statement about Donald Trump's sexual exploits, and says that what he did is between he and his wife. The behavior is just wrong for both of them, but Clinton is condemned for it, Trump gets a pass.  I find this the height of hyprocracy.

Then I find the 1956 Republican platform, when Dwight Eisenhower ran and won the presidency.   Does it look anything like the 2016 Republican platform?  If I had to guess, I would have thought it was the Democratic platform.  Here it is.  See what you think.

1. Provide federal assistance to low-income communities;
2. Protect Social Security;
3. Provide asylum for refugees;
4. Extend minimum wage;
5. Improve unemployment benefit system so it covers more people;
6. Strengthen labor laws so workers can more easily join a union;
7. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.
