Sweet name, we know.
Our platform is going to be economically conservative and socially more liberal than the current Republican party. We would aim to keep morality less of a central issue. On policy such as gay rights, we would support a more liberal view than the republican party, but less liberal than the democratic party... we would support a civil union. The same idea would hold true for most social issues, we would push for regulated, but legal, abortions. We would support government assistance with healthcare, but not government control. We would advocate for a flat tax based on percentage of income. We would still be strong in defense, but we would focus more on diplomacy and foreign relations/support of our actions.
Our strategy is to get the younger voters mobilized while still retaining a lot of our older supporters. We would focus the most heavily on the swing states and the midwest, but also maintain our relationships with the south. We understand that we will lose a percentage of the religious right, but we would still be more desirable to the religious groups than the democrats. At the same time, we would aim to take moderate votes away from the democratic party.
Our base would be the younger and older crowds and also moderates and minorities.
Our key members would be Denzel Washington and Condi Rice.
Although we understand that we may not be able to pull of a majority of the electoral college in a couple of years, we believe that eventually we will get a majority support.
I do think that change is needed in the system, but I do not think that replacing one party with another will help. I know I continue to bring up this point, but I firmly believe that if we want more accountable parties and we want the electorate to feel more represented, we need more than two parties. I also think that by replacing one party with another, the changes that the electorate seek will not happen. If anything, I believe that a new party will be more moderate. I think that the moderates generally feel represented in our system, it is the extremists that do not. For all of these reasons, I do not think that change is realistic at this point.

I like your idea to get bring in younger voters and get them mobilized.
Can you imagine how different the country would be if younger voters actually turned out in higher numbers than the other demographics?
I think the country would be a better place. Maybe that's just because I'm such a dirty stinking LIB (as conservative talking head Michael Savage would say).
