The Moronic Party - Our Next US Third Party Movement

[MineralMan]

Based on what I've observed for several years, a new political party is definitely needed, and I propose the founding of The Moronic Party. Membership would be limited to those who have no clue whatsoever about reality, and who vote based on that lack of knowledge. It could run candidates like Michele Bachmann for any office, without interfering with the actual business of government.

Moronicism is the new political movement in the United States. Let those who fit embrace it.

[TrogL]

1. And how is this distinguishable from the Republican Party?

[MineralMan]

6. TMP would siphon off at least the abject morons

from the Republican Party, and that would be an excellent thing. Give TMP its own candidates who represent moronicism and they'll have someone to vote for.

[TrogL]

12. Splitting the right might work temporarily

We had a go at it up here. The Progressive Conservative Party proved too Progressive for some people so they schismed and created the Alliance Party (briefly the Canadian Reform Alliance Party until someone decoded the acronym) which split the right, allowing the Liberals to form a government. The Alliance imploded with infighting and the PC's reformed.

[MineralMan]

13. In Canada, it will be The Unity Moronic Party, then.

I predict great things for Canada when they gain the majority.

19. Unlikely to happen

The CRAP was to the left of the current Democratic Party.

[MineralMan]

21. TUMP's Big Tent can hold 'em all.

[leveymg]

2. Wasn't the last GOP Presidential candidate a Moron Elder? Er . . .

ah, what the hell, same difference.

[amerciti001]

4. Cute... a Moron, er, Mormon Elder

pretty much the same!!

[MineralMan]

7. +1

[Andy823]

3. Well...

The tea party could just change their name since they fit your description to a T! Or they could just put "Moronic" in front of tea party, or maybe they could call themselves the "Tea Party Morons"! Anyway you look at it the tea party would be the base of such a party!

[MineralMan]

5. Well, I'm thinking the new party would attract morons of

all stripes. Libertarians, anarchists, whoever. All could join The Moronic Party, and let the rest of us decide.

[RobertEarl]

8. Morons

Morons are those who, imb, feel as if our mass consumption society can be sustained. Grow or die. Guess fucking what? This society is dieing and it is morons that are refusing to see that reality. The government is 100% full of morons already, eh?

[MineralMan]

9. Ah, OK, then...

[RobertEarl]

10. Well, do you?

If you think it can be sustained, tell us the history of that sustainability.

[MineralMan]

11. I won't participate in the hijacking of this critically important

thread. Sorry.

[RobertEarl]

14. Yep. What I figured

Critically important thread? Bwahahaha.

The question of our time is what future are we building.

I feel the real morons are those who ignore the earth's reaction to our constructs. But then, I'm not a moron. Right?

[MineralMan]

16. I never answer rhetorical questions.

Sorry.

[Taverner]

15. Never work: too many Evangelicals will think it's related to LDS...

Thank ya thank ya, tip your waitresses please...

[MineralMan]

17. They can pray for me. I'll think for them.

It is a simple equation.

[Taverner]

37. Aw man you missed my joke

Albeit a dumb joke...

[MineralMan]

38. Nah, I got the joke. I just went in another direction.

Someone beat you to the LDS reference, anyhow.

18. We have a Third Party, it is called the Third Way. Realizing it would most definitely fail on its

own, it attached itself to OUR Party. Now that we have identified the parasite, we are working to help them join the Republican Party where they belong, or they are welcome to try to form a real 'Third Way Party' since the claim to believe their ideas are not as 'retarded' as the party's they have latched on to.

[MineralMan]

20. Thank you for your valuable contribution to this thread.

I was counting on it.

[MineralMan]

22. Know-Nothing Party pledges Support of The Moronic Party

In a surprise move, the head of the U.S. Know-Nothing Party, Sgt. Alfred Schultz, has pledged complete support for The Moronic Party, saying, "We share common ground."

[RobertEarl]

23. Yep.

The climate change deniers, the nuclear power is safe, growth is good, obey the powers that be, don't rock the boat....

These are all morons, which means incredibly stupid, and they run the world. Your 'Moron Party' is already in charge. Are you a believer, or not?

[MineralMan]

24. Hello again.

I'm solidly in favor of the formation of The Moron Party. How's that?

[RobertEarl]

27. You are in favor?

Are you looking to be the leader?

I think wise people recognize that your new party is already established and many citizens are members of that moronic party, as I described above, and are incredibly stupid in their beliefs that our society is sustainable.

Realizing that that fact probably scares the shit out of you thereby making you ignore the idea, I expect nothing more than included in your previous replies.

[MineralMan]

28. I'm glad to give you everything you expect, then.

I aim to please in such matters.

Morons of the World, UNTIE!

[RobertEarl]

29. What drivel!!

I expect that people are going to one day realize the truth.

Even you can do it, I expect.

[MineralMan]

30. Freedom of Drivel is the basis of the first plank of The Moronic Party Platform.

It's FUNdamental.

[MineralMan]

25. Libertarian Party Throws Its Propeller Hat into

The Moron Party ring. An unofficial spokesperson said, today, "We're damned tired of only getting 0.5% of the vote! We're joining forces with the Moron Party!" He then gave this reporter a CD containing an outdated version of Linux.

[MineralMan]

26. Constitution Party Rides the Moronic Wave

In a surprise move the entire membership of The Constitution Party joined The Moronic Party this afternoon. One member, speaking to this reporter, stated, "Uh...the Constitution is hard. The Moronic Party is easy. I choose easy."

[BainsBane]

31. Already covered

by the Tea Party. There was a party in the mid-nineteenth century called the Know-Nothings. The concept is not as unrealistic as you might suppose.

[MineralMan]

33. From what I understand, negotiations with

The Tea Party are underway. I'm given to understand that a press conference is upcoming, notwithstanding other understandings.

[MineralMan]

32. Daily Mail, UK Named Official Organ

of The International Moronic Party. Every political party, apparently needs publicity, so the Daily Mail has accepted an offer to become the Party's official organ.

It has not been disclosed which organ, however.

[Downtown Hound]

34. We already have that

They just call themselves Republicans instead.

[MineralMan]

35. Most Republican are MINOs.

Morons in Name Only. They will not be accepted into TMP.

[MineralMan]

36. David Byrne Demands that The Moronic Party

stop playing songs from the album "Stop Making Sense" as theme music for their political ads.
