The_Rorschach I'm a Federalist. I don't there are any more of my party left. . .But I did meet a Know-Nothing the other day. I almost wept with joy.

Perndog Then they don't have "third parties" at all, if there are more than two major ones.
Sep 4th, 2003 12:27 AM
Big Papa Goat Not in Canada, from whence our good Chimp hails. We have 4 significant nation wide parties, then the Bloc Quebecois (Or is it the Parti Quebecois? Who cares anyways, stupid frogs).

Perndog Well, the third largest party should pretty well be the largest third party, since the Republicans and Democrats are the two largest...
Sep 3rd, 2003 11:32 PM
AChimp I would just like to take a moment to say that I think there is a big difference between "third largest party" and "largest third party," although both of them are pathetic.

Skulhedface I'm with the PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999 PARTY. A lot like Protoclown's party, but with cheesier music. And rather than the elephant or the donkey, our political symbol is truly unpronouncable.

The One and Only... You might wanna check the date on the link I posted.

I'll look more into it later.
Sep 3rd, 2003 07:44 PM
ranxer i'm amazed that nobody voted republican so far haha

you must be joking if you think libertarians outnumber greens.

i think the greens are far more pragmatic than libertarians

Perndog Republicans stay away from the Internet because they know Al Gore invented it and put in anti-Republican security measures that fry your brain and turn you into a vegan when you're exposed to them. This would devastate the economy because if all the Republicans became vegans they would free all the cows and chickens, our supermarkets would empty, and we would all either starve or become weak, malnourished animal lovers ourselves.

Emu So does that mean all those websites are jokes? That would explain so much.
Sep 3rd, 2003 05:30 PM
Big McLargehuge That's because Repulicans don't know how to use the internet.
Sep 3rd, 2003 05:28 PM
Emu At least nobody's voting republican.

Yeah, notice how they always put "the largest third party" in quotation marks....? The reason they do that is because it's a difficult thing to examine.

Libertarians boast 168 elected officials, which is more than every other third party combined.
Not sure where you're getting your data, but they "boast" much more than that on their website, more like over 500. The Green's don't have numbers I've seen, other than a 26 state analysis one guy did, Mike Feinstein. The Green's have at least 177 or so in 26 states, probably more. The reason it's tough to "boast" about these offices (same goes for the Libertarians), is that most people who run under these titles are running in non-partisan races. Most local and town positions tend to be like this, so it's tough to judge.

EDIT: From politics1.com-- "The LP espouses a classical laissez faire ideology which, they argue, means "more freedom, less government and lower taxes." Over 400 LP members currently hold various -- though fairly low level -- government offices (including lots of minor appointed officials like "School District Facilities Task Force Member" and "Town Recycling Committee Member""

I can tell you one hard fact, and that's that more Americans voted Green than they did Libertarian and Reform in 2000, and you can count on that happening again in 2004 if Nader runs again.

For reference, the Reform Party, who was listed in your article, has only nine elected officials. The Libertarian Party also has more registered voters than the Reform Party -- 182,000 vs. 124,000."

I'm sure you all know of the Reform Party because of Ross Perot fame. They, I believe, are the second largest.

My "article"? Anyway, Not so sure about the Reform Party numbers, particularly since they had the split in 2000 between the Buchanan populists and the Hagelin Natural Law Partyists.

KevinTheOmnivore I think Al Gore probably thought the same way you do.


Sep 3rd, 2003 04:13 PM
Perndog I think the poll should be Republican, Democrat, Irrelevant, and None.
Sep 3rd, 2003 04:08 PM

Sep 3rd, 2003 03:55 PM
The One and Only... Barely registering? By what standards? The libertarian party is the third largest AND fastest growing in America. It outdoes the greens in that respect.
Sep 3rd, 2003 02:21 PM
KevinTheOmnivore Right, as if the barely registering on the charts Libertarian Party is deserving.
Sep 3rd, 2003 01:53 PM
Perndog Who even included Green on the poll? Fucking hippy.
Sep 3rd, 2003 01:17 PM
Emu Who voted Green? Fucking hippie. :D
Sep 3rd, 2003 12:50 PM
Protoclown I'm with the PARTY ALL THE TIME party!

Your Political Party
Just curious about what kind of parties people around here belong to. I'm guessing most of you are "none." :D
