With the coming presidential elections on everyones mind in the US, I thought I would take a look at the political landscape and see what each of the parties (large and small alike) were actually about. The result of that investigation was a dazzling array of platform statements and programs, all wrapped up in hyperbolic prose. In the interest of simplicity, I have gone to the trouble of reducing each parties positions into a succinct, one-line explanation in order to help you better choose the party that best matches your existing prejudices:
- Democratic: “We work for you; the common, average millionaire.”
- Republican: “We work for you; the common, average billionaire.”
- Centrist: “If we work together, we can help the average millionaire AND the average billionaire.”
- Green: “Let’s actually do what the Democrats talk about.”
- Constitution: “Let’s actually do what the Republicans talk about.”
- American Heritage: “Let’s give the government to the Church.”
- Libertarian: “Let’s sell the government to Wal-Mart!”
- Communist: “We’ve sold the government to Wal-Mart!”
- Populist: “Let’s scrap the Constitution and start over with just the Bill of Rights.”
- America First: “Close the border, close the schools, go to church!”
- American Patriot: “The South will rise again…in Oregon!”
- Christian Falangist: “Iran doesn’t have homosexuals, why should we?”
- Independent American: ZOMG! Rockefellers, Black Helipcopt0rz, Elderz of zi0n!”
