There will be mandatory IQ tests for all positions.

Our office manager (A 30 year old woman who makes 55k a year) just came to me and asked if Mexico and Canada were part of north america. She makes more than me. I say she should loose 1k a year every time I have to edumacate her on something a high school graduate should know. Keep in mind we are a Large Industrial Contracting company that does work all over north america.

    I'll vote for that platform. :) And some people think testing the knowledge of our teachers is a BAD thing. Sheesh!

    There are reportedly a significant number of Americans who believe that Alaska is exactly where they saw it on all the maps at school.

    In the lower left corner, somewhere not far off the California coast.

    Ah jeez, give it up. Does this really have to turn into an anti-Bush rally? The man won. Twice. Time to "move on" and get over it.

    Thats right this is a "Gary For President" Rally.

    Might I add if elected I will make sure Cherry Ripes are available at every supermarket and party store so everyone can enjoy them.

    Can I be your Chief of Staff?


    I'd like to promote my "Thin the Herd" program.

    We've completely thrown Mother Nature's survival of the fittest out of whack. We protect the stupid people. We make laws to protect them from their own stupidity, and when that doesn't work, we allow them to sue for money based on something stupid they did that someone else is now deemed responsible in protecting them against.

    Our gene pool isn't improving, it's getting worse, because we don't allow the stupid people to do stupid things and weed themselves out naturally. We're protecting the slow gazelles. We need to let them be caught and eaten like nature intended.

    Thin the herd.

    This is why I don't vote Democrat. Their good intentions are fundamentally dangerous in implementation.

    I won't be 32 by the 2008 elections (If i remember school correctly you have to be 32 to run for president) but none the less we can start campaigning by then to make sure I'm a shoe in for 2012.

    The Digital Grin Party

    Our Platform

    Required IQ testing for Career and life placement (this is also be required in order to be allowed to bear children so as to stop the outbreak of morons our society is faced with)
    Cherry Ripes on every street corner
    Those who meet the IQ requirements but have still chosen a life of drugs, crime, or general stupidity will not be allowed to procreate under the new Thining of the Heard policy.

    What else guys?

    Make it the Republican party without the Theocracy and you have my vote. Only thing I can't stand about the Republicans is them trying to slam their religion down my throat. But I still vote for them.

    Merc no worries there Religion will not be a part of this Party. Thats an individuals choice not the goverments.

    And I think Improved wetlands and rookeries around the country to make it better for photographers and everyone alike sounds like a good idea bridge. Egrets, osprey, herons, etc.

    OK 2016 it is then.

    And I think Members of the Digital Grin Party should get free upgrades to first class when traveling for photographic reasons.

    Something we agree on! :D

    But don't forget hypocrisy - the party that wants smaller government but wants to control our lives; the party that supports our troops but cuts their benefits; the party that is pro-life but against life-saving medical research; the party that's against abortion but cuts funding for children's services... i'll stop now...
