Joke Political Parties

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Maybe this will help cool the heated political debates? Anyone know of any good Joke Political Parties?

A big one here in Canada was the "Rhino Party" back in the 80s, where they were quite successful.

The party, which claimed to be the spiritual descendants of Cacareco, a Brazilian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil) rhinoceros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros) who was elected member (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_as_electoral_candidates#Examples) of São Paulo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo_%28city%29)'s city council (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_council) in the 1950s, listed Cornelius the First (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_the_First), a rhinoceros from the Granby Zoo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granby_Zoo), east of Montreal, as its leader. It declared that the rhinoceros was an appropriate symbol for a political party since politicians, by nature, are "thick-skinned, slow-moving, dim-witted, can move fast as hell when in danger, and have large, hairy horns growing out of the middle of their faces."

Oh, wow. That is funny.

[Zigra]

Man, I have to say that I agree with everything that party stands for:laugh:

[Dr. Strangelove]

I demand the law of gravity be repealed! It's done nothing but kill people. >_>

[SuperXAsh]

>.< you shall bow before us Gravity!!!! Mark my words... you shall pay for your crimes!!!!

[Gorjirus]

Communism of course.






Gorjirus, bringing seriousness to your parties.

psh.

You want a real joke?

Republican & Democrat.

Longest-running joke in American History.

[Gorjirus]

Really?

I thought "Yo mamma" was.

[Archaic_Avenger]

For once, I agree with Dr. Strangelove.

There never has been or ever shall be a political party or method that is not riddled with incompetence. And they wonder why young people wont vote...

I dunno. The NSDAP was pretty competent, if nothing else..

[Morgoth]

Are you kidding? Just for starters, they gave Goering the Luftwaffe! That fat **** wasn't competent to run the friggin Reichspost!

[Goji Son]

I dunno. The NSDAP was pretty competent, if nothing else..

That is an insult to mankind.

[godzy]

While they didn't do anything really stupid, one party that always makes me laugh whenever I hear about it is the Bull Moose party.

heh heh....Bull Moose....who actually names their party after a moose?:intears:

[Gorjirus]

You do know that a moose is the most dangerous member of the deer family and kill people every year, right?

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Gor' is right. I've seen videos of Moose going out of their way to try and stomp small dogs that were yapping at them.

[Zigra]

As somebody who lives in central Alaska where moose are very common, I can say that Gor is correct. A cow moose won't hesitate to trample anybody who gets between her and her calf. In fact, as strange as this may sound to you southerners, an enraged cow moose is actually more dangerous than a grizzly bear.

I stand corrected.

hmmm....I wonder if the "Cow Moose Party" would've been any more popular than the Bull Moose one.

Here's a list of ones already taken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States) in the U.S.

The "Know Nothing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know-Nothing_movement)" Party is one that immediately came to mind, mainly because whenever you get a big enough group together, NO ONE seems to know what anyone else is doing.

The Rhino Party should get with the Natural Law Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Natural_Law_Party). Adherents believe that all political problems can be solved through meditation. Keep at it and you might can levitate. :laugh:

[Orga777]

Wow, there are some ridiculous parties...

[Raptor]

Wow, there are some ridiculous parties...Yeah. We are reminded of that every 2 - 4 years...
