Messing with the American Reform Party

[BlueDog22]

So I really want to mess with one of the Tea Party/Faux news supporting groups. The American Reform Party split off of the Reform Party because they believed in being a bottoms up organization and they were much further to the right then the rest of the members of the Reform Party. They do a lot of things over internet polls and try to use internet polls to figure out what position their group is going to take.

So let's see if we can make them take a liberal approach to the issues by voting in these polls and giving them our honest opinions. I figure we need fifty or so people to vote in order to skew the polls to a liberal view point. If they don't, then they really are a top down organization, and are a bunch of hypocrites.

2. Toxic Site?

If you think that's toxic you should see the comments on Yahoo News. It makes me think less about humanity everytime I see a new comment.

"I've been a yellow dog dem my whole life...I'm a rabid anti republican and anything close to that"

I've been rabid anti-Republican since I was 18, we have that in common. I identify as Blue Dog just because I'm a fair trade moderate, and the New Democrats (the other moderate group) believes in Free Trade. If it wasn't for that I would be a New Democrat.

I was attracted to the third parties out of rebellion, because my parents were progressives and I had some issues with my dad. Now that I'm over that I think a lot like my dad, and I get more liberal every year.

Don't worry, I play well with Progressives and I won't bite.

6. I believe in fair trade too.

"What are New Democrats"

Moderate Democrats that have philosophies and positions similar to Bobby Kennedy and Bill Clinton. Here's a link:

Plus I edited my previous response to you a few moments ago. I wanted to add a little bit more about why I was in the third party circles and how I get more liberal every year.

8. OMFG!

I hate to see this shit associated with the Reform Party. I'm registered as reform even though Maryland doesn't recognize it. It's actually a very progressive party in it's pure sense.

I guess these days, once you ad American, or freedom, or Liberty to something, it makes a hard right turn~

9. Re: OMFG

Actually its a splinter group of the Reform Party, and that's why I like to screw with it. They broke off sometime around 1996.

I have no real problems with the Reform Party USA.
