Randrew Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 A few questions regarding the "Whom to you plan to vote for in the upcoming election" poll: 1) What is the "Constitution" Party? 2) What is the "Peace and Freedom" Party? 3) What is the "American" Party? 4) Why is Nader's ticket called "Reform?" I don't know much about the Reform party, but my impression was that they were a group of ultra-conservatives led by Pat Buchanan et. al. 5) Isn't there supposed to be a Socialist Party here in America? (Perhaps that was the one "Other" vote. Good god.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossiblyParanoid Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 The polling feature only allows 10 options but there are 15 parties with presidential candidates. I tried to pick 9 and lump the rest in "Other", but I miscounted. The identities of the other parties is left as an exercise to the reader. Which of these would you consider to be the "Socialist Party" ?: SOCIALIST PARTY USA SOCIALIST EQUALITY PARTY SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY WORKERS WORLD PARTY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randrew Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 FOUR Socialist parties? You've got to be kidding me. I hadn't realized it was that bad here. Perhaps at this point it would behoove "the reader" to pick up Peikoff's Ominous Parallels, if he hasn't already. Perhaps you *do* have reason to be Paranoid, Mr. Possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgessLau Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 FOUR Socialist parties? You've got to be kidding me. I hadn't realized it was that bad here. Perhaps at this point it would behoove "the reader" to pick up Peikoff's Ominous Parallels, if he hasn't already. ... The number of radical statist parties, both socialist and conservative, has increased -- at least where I am living, in Oregon USA -- because ballot access is easier. That is a positive sign, not a negative one. The greatest threat on the short-term, I believe, is from the mass destruction that conservative/leftist consensus can bring -- in taxation, in "public" schools, in environmentalism, in continued governmental ownership of vast areas of land, in regulation of business, in altruistic wars, and in the killing of the privatization movement.

Toolboxnj Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 The odd thing is if you read the preamble to the Contitution Party, substitute God, Jesus Christ, Biblical Law with Reason, Individual Rights, and Objective law, you have a good party LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
