I came across this one while keeping up with the page listing all the parties held by a sticky at the top of the forum. This one is actually starting to get close to what I lean toward politically. Although they are small now, I see a real growth potential if people start finding out about them. Anyone know much about them yet?

I have absolutely no idea how I've not heard about this until now.

Thanks for the post! Now, I've got some reading to do.

Far from enough information on that site.

While encouraging, I'd want to see an "official position" on multiple key issues before even considering them as a legitimate alternative choice.

I think I'm going to start a political party where my primary platform is the immediate deportation of anyone who doesn't know how to change their own oil and operate a manual transmission.

I'm convinced it would be a remarkably apt litmus test for "thinning the herd". We'd be left with most of the engineers and far fewer lawyers, lol.

Cindy McCain could stay. She can slide a CTS-V, she and her son built (or at least directed the build of) an S13 drift car, and she's admitted to enjoying shop class.

I didn't vote for her husband, but I'm convinced the two of them would be the most fun dinner party guests ever. They have a standing invitation.

I don't know what engineers YOU'VE been hanging around, but more than a few I've known couldn't find their way out of a paper bag!
