Politics had something to do with the draft Republican platform
including an acknowledgment that human activities play a role in
global climate change and not including a call for oil drilling in the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
The politicos decided it wouldn’t be politic to adopt a platform that
contradicts their presidential candidate’s views favoring climate
legislation and opposing Arctic drilling.
The muttering was palpable. One of the platform committee members, Jeff
Grossman of Oregon, said that John McCain has some catching up to do
with the rest of the party on drilling the refuge.
In John McCain’s Navy, that’s known as insubordination. An ensign who
tells the admiral to get with the program will swiftly find himself
reassigned to new quarters in the brig. Grossman, it’s you who needs to
get with McCain’s program, not the other way around.
