I'm a member of the Underground Common Sense party. It's a very small organization, consisting of myself, one of my friends, the bartender at a bar I frequent, and some Irishman who was at the bar Thursday night. We believe that while each party has its good points, they are riddled with terrible points. We refuse to follow the very strongly opinionated (see: idiots) people such as Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton, because they are constantly on the fringe and mix in VERY extreme views with shared-party views. We also understand that while it is nice to view yourself as an Independant or Libertarian, the likelihood of a candidate from these parties winning an election in the next few decades is slim to none. Going with that idea, we also understand that if the third-party votes in the last election were instead cast for the "next best thing," if you will, then Bush would not have been elected.

I don't support Bush, but I also don't think he should be pulled into the square by horses and beheaded on prime time TV, whereas I think Michael Moore should be. But, my hatred for Moore lies not in what he believes, but rather the manner in which he chooses to voice his opinions.

So, I welcome all of you to join my party. Beers are on the house, and we won't tell you not to have an abortion, you can screw whoever you want (within reason, of course, meaning no children or animals), and some drugs are okay while others should never have existed. But, bear in mind that if we think war is a necessary step, we won't sit around sucking our thumbs and singing children's songs in an effort to get something done.
