I just want to get ahead of the curve and declare the new Republican majority a failure. They were supposed to bring change to Washington, such as smashing through the walls of Congress in a tank and then leaping out and start beating up all the Democrats to avenge the Constitution. All of Obama’s bills were supposed to be repealed. An army of griffins were supposed to kill all the unicorns. But instead Republicans are all like, “We don’t actually take office until January.” It’s business as usual. It’s disappointing. It’s pathetic.
And what’s with the tax deal? It should have been even more tax cuts for the rich and taxes raised on the poor to motivate them not to be poor to really help get this economy going. The left were only screaming about the tax deal; a really good tax deal would cause the left to have heart attacks and die. And why does Obama still sometimes appear on TV while talking. I thought they were going to put a stop to that.
I think it’s time to start talking a third party. Mine will be the Awesome Party. Our position will be pro-things that are awesome and against things that aren’t awesome. There will be no compromise. If someone starts wanting things that are against an awesome agenda, they will be thrown out of the party. Literally. A big guy will pick them up and throw. Or possibly a trained gorilla, because that would be pretty awesome.
I checked here but could not find the Awesome Party listed: http://www.politics1.com/parties.htm
All I want is no compromising with Democrats. Is that so hard to ask? Maybe gridlock is a good thing.
what about a roof-mounted trebuchet that would lauch those folks out of the party?
Raising taxes on the poor? Republicans should be declaring poor illegal! Then all the poor people will be rounded up and sent to poor jail in France or Canada! Then we can pass a bill that outlaws all taxes on everyone, except a tax on fat, stupid and ugly people. This will pay for the military having to protect them. Who decides? We do…WE WON!!! Of course Hillary won’t like her new taxes and neither will Biden. We shall exempt fat people who are smart, however like Chris Christie through parliamentary skull-duggary! We have been watching the Democrats for years and have learned!
All non-awesomeness will fired into space via the Republican Rail Gun! Obama is first up, then Iran!
We shall exempt fat people who are smart,
I am thankful for that. I thought my taxes may be going up.
We need a teleprompter tax, and a marxist tax, and a whiny democrat tax. We also need a mexicannon to shoot whiny
democrathippies into mexico.I’m all for it as long as it has definite labels.
Frank, be patient. The new republicans are taking face punching lessons from Fred Thompson. That takes time. Learning to target liberals and RINOs takes a few classes.
I think that the Awesome Party Headquarters should be at the top of the tallest building to make the throwing-out of people who are anti-awesome most effective —– SPLAT! But what is the Party’s position on things which are Awesomely bad? Like $800,000,000,000 is an awesome amount of money to be sure! But what the dimocrats did with $800,000,000,000 was awesomely bad. Speaking of Awesomely bad, the election of the first black President of the USA is Awesome, but Obama is Awesomely bad. Similarly, I think the the midterm republican victories are Awesome, but I’m expecting the next Congress to be Awesomely mediocre.
Can the slogan of the Awesome Party be: “Bite Me!”
That would be awesome.
The new Label for your Awesome Party should be:
If you have to ask what our slogan is, you are OBVIOUSLY not AWESOME enough so we are going to launch you out of a Mexicannon!!
(Seems long for a bumper sticker, but awesome people have really big cars with REALLY BIG and awesome bumpers.)
AWESOM. Is slogan enough.
Dearest Frank, we don’t have a majority yet. That doesn’t happen until some time in January. Now we have the “Shame duck” Congress. Greasy, puny and not terribly bright. I can’t wait for January, it should be highly entertaining.
Actually a third-party wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’m thinking something like this:
–Small tent: you join our party and decide you don’t like out platform? Then git out before we kick you out.
–Pro-life / other social conservatism: no abortion, no death panels, etc. The new party sides with Republicans when such things are up for debate.
–Very limited welfare programs with strict oversight: all the moral superiority of helping the poor, and none of the deficit that tends to build up when you let fiscally irresponsible liberals manage such things. The new party sides with Democrats when such things are up for debate, but only if the Dems make serious concessions (such as changing the program’s goals a bit more towards actually helping poor people and a bit more away from spiting successful job-creating Americans).
If this kind of party got a decent amount of support (say, 10% to 15% of seats in Congress) it could dominate pretty much anything–an extra 10 or 15 senators in a voting bloc could tip the scales in a closely divided argument. And despite being the minority, it would be able to demand concessions from one of the two big parties as a condition of receiving those extra 10 or 15 votes. Search your heart, you know it to be true.
Whoops.
–Small tent: you join our party and decide you don’t like
outour platform? Then git out before we kick you out.I did, however, intend to say “git.”
If the republicans really had their act together they would allow us to “primary” all of the active pols that call themselves Repubs. Lose in the primary get kicked out of the party.
Or the party could litigate against RINO’s for false representation. Actions speak louder than words.
Oh, and Im not joking in the slightest.
I think it should just be called the “Gun Party.” How many liberals do you know that would have the guts to speak out against the Gun Party? That’s right, none.
