    Have any of you heard about or come across www.unity08.com ? It is a web site for those who believe that neither of today's political parties reflects the concerns of the average American. They are trying to present a 3rd party through the internet. Check it out if you are interested in politics. :D

    No. But I did look into the Centrist Party a while back. The problem is so many little tiny third parties have no effect on the two big ones. We need a third big one to be effective. And that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

    I'm really really excited about the Apathy Party!
    If we work hard and show a lot of enthusiasm, we can do anything!

    Last election year, I wanted to sign up for the Procrastinators Party.
    Never got around to it.

    Why a new 3rd party? Why don't they promote an existing 3rd party? There's plenty to choose from.

    Well, technically it isn't even a third party. It's a combining of the two existing parties into a bipartisan party. So in essence it's a two party system becoming a one party system.

    Not exactly the direction I want to go.
