New Political Party
I have decided to start my own political party. For some time I was confused on my political affiliation and I have come to the conclusion that I really don't belong anywhere. Four years ago I thought I was conservative. I was really wrong there. This year I thought I was liberal. Pretty close but not entirely. I still do have some conservative traits. I would be a conservative Democrat or a Liberal Republican. Neither make any sense. If there was a political fence, my foot would be on the ground on the left side, but my right foot would be on the fence and hanging over onto the right side.
I then thought of minor parties. I had to think of two opposite parties, even though one has no real backing nowadays. The Libertarians and the Socialists. I fit in between both of them. I'm about 60% Libertarian and 40% socialist. Not quite the split to dive in favor of one group over the other.
After pondering all this, I made the decision, there was only one choice I had, to start my own political party. We are to be known simply as... The Argucrats. We stand for everything, as long as it is something you don't stand for. We argue our individual beliefs till we turn blue in the face.
In the same frame, since we don't pick teams, we are willing to look at unique viewpoints, and ideas. We relish being proven wrong from time to time. We learn something that we didn't know, and see something from a new perspective. We find new and better solutions to problems.
Thing is, this is going to be a double secret political party. No one is gonna know about us. We are gonna hide members of our society in the Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, and even the mighty WHIG party. Eventually, through our teachings of arguments and understanding, the country will actually begin to run smooth, and will not be polarized!!!!! I know, its a scary thought. That's just what my secret political party/society of Argucrats is there for. Oh yes.

I'm in. Great idea. Might as well post the beliefs that you came up some years ago during the first stint in college. I still believe that they always should be eaten and not heard! I want to be a vice presidential candidate. 16 Presidents were land surveyors. I'm not a surveyor but I am a crew member. Like my boss said to me today, "We're Presidential material!" I told him,"I'm not a surveyor but could I be Vice President or maybe Treasurer!" Lemme know!
That was different. That was a religion, not a political affiliation.
I thought being Republican was a religious affliation?
