For too many years, America has been choked by its tired, imperialist six-party system. The only thing differentiating John McCain (Republican), Barack Obama (Democratic), Bob Barr (Libertarian), Cynthia McKinney (Green), Chuck Baldwin (Constitution) and Ralph Nader (Peace & Freedom) is their preferred sexual position with corporate lobbyists and defense contractors.
So let's meet the real candidates for change, running as anywhere from 7th-party to 16th-party candidates on a ballot near you. (This is especially true if you live in Colorado, where all sixteen are on the ballot.)
| Candidate |
Platform |
| Alan Keyes
America's Independent Party |
Firmly committed to losing miserably to Barack Obama-- any time, any place, any office. |
| Jonathan Allen
Heartquake '08 Party |
Taking over for Dick Cheney, who was the Heartquake '00-'07 candidate. |
| Thomas Robert Stevens
Objectivist Party |
Dedicated to the economic philosophies of Ayn Rand, which means re-installing Alan Greenspan as Federal Reserve chairman and commissioning a new national anthem penned by Rush. |
| Charles Jay
Boston Tea Party |
Essentially the Libertarian platform, with a key added goal of throwing John Kerry into a harbor. |
| Gene C. Amondson
Prohibition Party |
Revisiting the policies of the 1920s, because if we're going to have a second depression, we ought to get it right. (Note that the platform doesn't seem to be working, given that the campaign's only MySpace friend is Tom.) |
| Róger Calero (or James Harris)
Socialist Workers Party |
Ending the capitalistic hegemony of the two parties dominating American government; restore power to the people. |
| Brian Moore
Socialist USA Party |
Retake Washington from the evil triumvirate of Republicans, Democrats and the Socialist Workers Party; restore power to the people. |
| Gloria La Riva
Socialism and Liberation Party |
Destroy the corrupt, neo-fascist tyranny of the Socialist Workers Party and the Socialist USA Party; restore power to the people. |
LAST COMMENT:
The relevance of Cat on Roomba is the cat got more hits on YouTube than all the third party candidates combined. Bob Barr ate cat milk cheese too. Meow.
