Adjective Noun for a Stronger America!

I was preparing for my engineering lecture this afternoon, looking at the area around my feet to avoid setting my bag down in something distasteful, when I noticed a newspaper that someone had cast down to the floor. The reason that it had taken up residence on the floor, to be trodden under my booted heels, was because on the front cover was an article covering the 2008 presidential campaign. Yes, 2008. It is currently, let me see, March of 2007, and we're preparing to cover yet another episode of political travesty a year in advance.

The picture above this article showed two students: one male student wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt, and a female student sporting a Hilary Clinton sticker. While I didn't read the whole article the gist is that it was about the students in the picture, who were starting groups in support of the aforementioned Democratic contenders for the Presidency. Needless to say, there was politicking aplenty.

Now, here's something that I don't really understand about American politics: we have individual elections within our political parties to decide which figurehead is most appealing to the supporters of the party, thereby alienating the members of the party who the candidate doesn't appeal to. Some of these alienated voters move to another party, or just they just don't vote. It has been documented in our political past that when the different candidates cause enough of a split in voters, the party will fracture; Abraham Lincoln was elected because his opposition had split into several mini parties, none of which could control enough votes.

Our major political parties, the Republicans and and the Democrats, have been the powerhouses in American politics for years. None of the small parties can gain enough support to have a serious effect on the two main parties. The main parties are not truly conservative or liberal anymore instead, we have two parties of moderates with vaguely liberal and conservative leanings who want basically the same thing: control over the American people.

Which leads me to the point of this rather long winded post: I am going to start a new party.

I know that I said that small parties have little to no effect on the elections, but that's because they appeal to special interests, and not many people vote for special interest groups. So, we need to follow the proven formula of the Republicans and Democrats and remain fairly moderate on all issues, until we get into office when we can reveal our true agenda! "But Joey," you're saying, "when did 'I' become 'we'?". Um. Good question. I just kind of, you know, assumed that since you read my blog that you might be interested in, you know, helping me get elected so I can, sort of, overthrow the government and take over the world.
Please? I'll give you a good job, a nice office, and a small country....

Remember, vote Imperialist! For war, against needless spending! Global Domination for a Stronger America!
