Yes, but does anybody actually pay any attention to the program of the 
P&F? The Democrats also have a program, in fact they're probably 
adopting the latest model as we type. Nobody ever pays any attention 
to that... I suppose the Republicans would scream loudly if the 
Democratic platform committee threw in some socialism one year or 
another (not this one!) but it wouldn't make any difference.
