Rand Paul is the only sane, non-warmongering, non-bigoted leading member of the GOP. People who care about the party's long term survival - and America's future, as well - should vote for him instead.


But then, historically speaking, poor performance as a governor hasn't necessarily translated to not becoming president - look at Reagan, for example.

They're on the wrong side of a demographic shift that isn't going anywhere. Absent some far more effective voter suppression and managing to force through some serious gerrymandering, they're unlikely to win an election until the next major party realignment.

my bad, I was referring to it Ron Paul, regardless I hope the media tanks down Rand Paul for his ridiculous positions on foreign relationships, economic policies, and non-existent position on social issues.

These type of parties seek to destroy the U.S inside out and are anti-American. Democrat Party fits in very well.

Which was why Romney won the election in 2012... oh wait.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

The Anti-American Party is an official political party that is currently under review by the FEC. We do not promote violence, illegal activities, or Islamic extremism. However, we DO promote the idea that supporting any of the above would fall into so called Pro-American ideology. The Tea Party has repeatedly done harm to us by pointing out our original assembly, The Secret Society of Anti-Americans, and Michelle Bachmann has threatened to prosecute us. Now, we have joined together in a political party to promote: Peace, Freedom, Liberty, Unity, Individuality, and Skepticism (and satirical opposition to Tea Party Politics.) Meanwhile, the U.S. is in the midst of a worldwide reign of violent terror that vehemently opposes all of the values associated with Anti-Americans. Since modern imperialism, corporate welfare, and subjugation of the masses are apparently the values associated with Pro-American thought, the Anti-American Party is the only choice for any rational citizen. VOTE ANTI-AMERICA 2012!!!! DEATH TO AMERICA!!!!

Please see our website to read our Un-Call to Action, History, 11 Principles, or learn about our brainwashing rituals and our alliance with the NWO; you can also send a request to JOIN NOW!!!!

Yes, a very pro-American party as you can see. It even has the support of seven people! (supposedly)

The last line makes me assume that it's satirical, but regardless.
