I found this, which seems to be one of the most complete descriptions of a platform on specific issues.
http://www.gp.org/platform/2004/
The ten principles are too general to use for political comparison or political argument. They remind me of something the dems did earlier this year - sending out a list of seven points (I think it was seven) that were what the 'new' democratic party stood for - which were nice enough principles, and ,many essentially identical to the corresponding issues in the green 'ten principles'. But, they were too general, and I think only continued the impression that the dems don't really have a plan and an idea for governance.
That 2004 platform statement gets more specific, which I like. But, it certainly isn't concentrated, it tends to ramble on.
What would be ideal would be a one page condensation of specific points, like:
Repeal the Patriot Act and replace it with a domestic safety plan that respects the American belief in civil liberty.
