tri-partisan system

Today I was talking to one of my sisters. We were discussing in particular how we weren't really happy with either candidate running for president. She is a pretty hard core "republican" and I have always considered my self an Independent but usually tend to side with the right because I want Uncle Sam to keep his hand out of my wallet. Payne and I think there needs to be a third party: The Common Sense Party. We decided on a few tenants of our new party.

We the Common Sense Party believe these things should be done:

1) Legalize Gay Marriage: Why not let same sex unions benefit from the same privileges every other citizen has the right to. If marriage is so sacred a union why do half of all marriages end in divorce.

2) Get rid of the IRS: how much does our country spend each year just to keep this complicated system running? Shut it down, hike up sales taxes giving every one a tax rebate for the essentials. News flash-people who make more money will spend more and be taxed more.

3) Abolish abstinence only sex education: I think we all know that people will continue to have sex whether we say it is bad or not. What we can do is provide information and effective available contraception (at a reasonable age-no handing out condoms in kindergarten classrooms) so we can have fewer unplanned pregnancies, increase adoption education so that hopefully we will do away with the need for abortions. Abortion is something the CS Party is very against.

4) Legalize Marijuana and Prostitution (Yes, we went there): Regulate and tax that shit!

5) No universal health care: The CS party like low taxes and that will only increase taxes.

6) No child left behind should be left behind: 'Nuff said

7) Don't Kill people: we feel this is a very simple statement, we are anti-abortion, anti-capital punishment and we would like to prevent wars as much as possible (people tend to get killed).

Well those are the 7 tenants I recall. It was a pretty long conversation so I probably missed some if you have any suggestions to add let me know and I'll consider adding them.
