Module 11: My Political Party

This week we are asked to write about what a new political party would look like if either one of the other collapsed. Although this is highly unlikely, especially in our live time, this may be tricky. If the Republican Party fell, a similar party to the Republicans would probably rise, and vice versa. I don't think either party has a chance of dying right now. Sure, the Republicans have lost alot of power, but that's the natural cycle of politics. Look what happened when FDR took office. The Republicans pretty much got kicked to the side for many years, but did rise again.

If the Republican Party fell, I think a new ultra-conservative party would emerge. There are too many Americans in this country who disagree with the Democrats and if the Republican Party did die, I think something even stronger than the Republican Party would emerge.

Who are the new leaders? They are the strongest conservatives in the nation. Somewhat to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, but a politician. They leaders will stand for strict enforcement of the Constitution and preserving this nation to what it once was. This new party will care a great deal about traditional values. They will support a strong military and won't back down when the country's security is at stake. The will not tax us all into an ice age - and speaking of ice ages, there will be no more talk of global warming. This new party will be smart enough not to fall for anyones schemes when it comes to this global warming hoax. They will not tolerate the Democrats coming up with all this crazy ideas for us to "save the planet." If Americans want to use plastic bags at the grocery store, they will be allowed to. No more wasteful spending. This new party will veto every bill they come across that wastes the tax payers' money. This new party will reaffirm states' rights and the rights of individual Americans. No more telling us what we can and cannot do. They will appeal to all groups of people because the will cut taxes, but also keep them at a sustainable rate. Who doesn't want a little bit more of their hard-earned money back? Groups that may appeal to this new party would be anyone who pays taxes. Taxpayers are the backbone of this country and they don't get enough praise. Less government intervention will make the country more productive and useful. National defense will be one of their main priorities. We cannot allow other country's to see our weaknesses. We must remain strong and the only way to do that is to focus more attention on military. Harassment of soldiers will not be tolerated. Pork-filled stimulus bills will not be tolerated.

There is a strong base in this country for this type of party. Yes, it does resemble the Republican Party, but it will be even stronger and more conservative. There will become a point when Americans are sick and tired of the government trying to run their lives and take all their money - and when that day happens this new party will emerge.

  1. As a traditional conservative, I'd LOVE to see a party like this that comes into power to compete w/ the Democrats, however I really dont feel an ultra-conservative party could ever happen. Myself, even being a traditional conservative doesnt agree w/ everything the GOP does and if everything was ultra-conservative, there would even be more things I couldnt agree w/ them on. And if I may have issue w/ it, a majority of Americans will. I wouldnt even want someone like Rush running my party, haha. Someone like Rush believes in EVERY conservative idea there is and feels there is no wiggle room whatsoever.

    I dont think ALL taxpayers would endorse a party like this, as a majority of tax payers are good people who want to help others. Dennis Miller recently said something along the lines that he doenst mind using tax money to help the helpless, it's when tax money is used to help the clueless, then he has a problem -- and I coudlnt agree w/ him more!

  2. Consider spatial models of voting... would a more right wing party really appeal to more people than the Republicans did?

  3. Nice party, but no Rush please. He'd kill your party. No good could come of that. For every one person that likes him, there's 5 people that can't stand the guy, and some of those people are conservatives themselves. What do you propose we do in order to improve our military? We already have the best technologies in the world and we will only keep getting more technologically advanced as time goes on. Missile defense systems are some things that have become vital to us and we have the best of those right now. That's just one of many examples. What else could we do? I think one of the problems is we dont' have 1 billion people in our armed forces like China does. More people could help make us more powerful. I think that'd happen when our government decides to take better care of our troops. There room for that in your party?
