Let me say this about that.

I think many (if not most) Americans have pretty much had-it with our current political system.  Whatever the Democrats and Republicans are doing in Washington sure as hell is not about helping me.  My view is that if the entire Congress would just go home and find a job mowing lawns, we would all be better off (except maybe a couple of hundred Mexicans).  The “Two-Party System”  is hopelessly broken and worse, is hopelessly irreparable.  If you have not figured it out already, I hate both political parties.  We need something new.  We need something that works.  We need real leadership.  In summary, we need a totally new political party. 

New political parties have been tried a few times in the past.  The “Green Party“ touted environmental issues.  Then there was the “Libertarian Party”  whose position I was never quiet able to decipher.  Ross Perot founded the “Reform Party“ which was sort of a mini-Republican party on steroids. 

Currently, there is the new “Tea Party”  which is a little more centrist-oriented than some of the earlier attempts, but lacks a real leader or spokesman.  It appears to me that the ‘acting-leader’ of this party is Sarah Palin, but for no other reason than she has a great pair of tits.  However, in today’s world of organized political parties, this is a rare example of logic. 

Political leadership in America

I kinda like all the new political parties, but not for any particular ideological reason.  I like them because they continually pick at the scab that covers the puss-filled world of a Congress made up of Democrats and Republicans.  However, try as they might, no new political party has ever gained sufficient clout to be a real power in the United States.  I think the reason is that they have not addressed the real issues in America, have not expressed the real problems in “non-politically correct terms” , and have not embraced ‘Common Sense’ as a fundamental platform.  Therefore, in order to remedy this shortcoming…    I am going to start a new political party myself.  I offer this transcript of a recent news conference:

Shambo:  “Ladies and gentlemen of the press, please be seated.  Today, I am announcing the formation of a new political party whose ideological platform is the simple application of  “Common Sense”.  I know all of you have read the ‘pre-press’ release so I will open the floor for questions.”

Reporter:  “Mr. Shambo, Gaye Barr, Washington Post.  What is the name of your new Party?”

Shambo:  “Gaye, we are called the “Getur Hedoutta Urazz Party.”

Reporter:  “Mr. Shambo, Harden Thicke, Playboy Magazine.  If your party takes control of Congress, what are the plans for your first piece of legislation?”

Shambo:  “That’s an easy one, Harden.  We’re going to abolish the position of Vice President.  These guys have been an embarrassment to America for too long.  Spiro Agnew, Dan Quayle, Joe Biden – I wouldn’t leave my pet goat alone with these guys without issuing them condoms.” 

Reporter:  “I noticed you omitted Dick Cheney from your list.  Do you think he was a good VP?”

Shambo:  “Correction Harden.  Dick Cheney was never the Vice President.  Cheney held the office of “Prince-of-Darkness”.  It was a new cabinet post created by the last Bush administration - perhaps you missed it.  Cheney’s job was to scare the crap out of Islamic terrorists.  Apparently he was successful because, during his time in office, there was an extreme shortage of virgins in Paradise.”

Reporter:  “Mr. Shambo, Pepe Roni, Spanish Herald Tribune.  What is your position on illegal  immigration?”

Shambo:  “Written on the Statue of Liberty are the words “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses”.  These words may be on the Statue, but they are not in the Constitution.  You do realize Pepi, that the Statue was a gift from France, don’t you?  That fact speaks volumes.  Yes, I am a great supporter of illegal immigration – to France.”

Reporter:  “Mr. Shambo, Dick Wahd, New York News.  Please tell us you are not going to eliminate some of our social programs !”

Shambo:  “Of course not Dick.  We’re going to eliminate all of them.  And the money we save on giving away money to people who don’t work, we can use to fight the biggest threat to our freedom today.”

Reporter:  “And what would that be, Mr. Shambo?”

Shambo:  “Reality shows, Dick.  Our research has shown that reality shows are the leading cause of our citizens sticking their head up their ass.  My personal opinion is that the view – up there – is a damn-site more interesting than what you can find on any reality show.”

And, that’s all I have to say about that.
