Happy happy happy!

In order to restore civility to the boards I hereby declare myself High Pony Emperor of the Boards and outlaw all opinions. Please feel free to shower me with gifts and Genuflecting when you see me.

I'll genuflect you a nice Glasgow Kiss, you ruffian.

The Whig party has re-formed.

Evidently driven by a veterans movement.

I'm actually really intrigued by their platform.

Thought you all would like to know.

Capital Evil Lincoln! Good show talking up the Whigs like that, and you an Evil Republican! Top notch!

Third parties rule!

Six months after Sebastian's victory, it seems he has reneged on his promise to eschew relations with Ice Weasels. In fact, he has been seen to cavort with several Ice Weasels out in the Rose Garden from time to time, playing 'pony dressup' with them.

Once again the pony has pulled the satin ribbons over our eyes. SHAME!

From the AP Newswire: Americans Overwhelmingly Favor Obama Health Care Plan.

Or we can go with this new poll from the Washington Post that shows a little more 'lukewarminess' than 'overwhelming'.

Only time will tell on this one.

Last time your party was in power, you put us on the fast train to a civil war. I somehow don't think the Whigs are in a good position to hand out criticism.

Tch. I merely resurrected the name of the party, not the policies. I would call myself a Libertarian, but those hacks have prostituted themselves once too often for my taste.

And as for criticism, 'Dick', how is your party doing these days? The elephant is feeling rather bruised after the drubbing the donkey gave it I take it. Any candidates for higher office not screwing around with women not their wives? Might as well change the letter behind your name to 'D' and be done with it. Or perhaps a merger to the American Republocrat Party.

Now please stop accusing my ally of trying to run the US into the ground and surrender to us. This thinly-veiled political argument is getting boring.

Oh the misfit elephant has much to answer for on that front as well, King Y. Don't think because I disagree with Hopey McChangeopants that Dubya gets a free ride. Your ally does have an audacity of scale that makes Dubya's efforts look like small potatoes. The deficit now has twelve zeros attached to it, and that's just the start.

*points at the Authoritarian Follower* Hope... Change....

I hope that you change soon.

The only change you have brought us sir, is the change in our debt load. I hope we can survive without declaring bankrupcy.

I take exception to that statement. Lord Cheney's politics are not tired, nor past. Spurn your revolution. Grovel apologetically. A man with your resume and gift for rheotoric could go far in our organization.

Sir, I grovel for no man.

Both Lord Cheney and his Democratic replacement are two different paths to the same destination: America's bankrupcy. It matters not WHAT you spend our money on, the fact of the matter is that it was spent, and wastefully.

It is a shameful day when the freest and richest country in the world has become a massive debtor nation, mortgaging our future to avoid difficulties in the present. Look to California to see the future of our great land. Hard service cuts and rising taxes. All because people refuse to assume responsibility for their own lives.

Turn away from the tired politics of the past and join our second American Revolution!

Scurry back to Foggy Bottom and try to refrain from adding more pork to the stimulus bill you fiend!

Whacks Greasy with his walking stick

Let us not judge an avatar by the color of its name, rather by the content of its posts.

Names like 'sock puppet' do not enhance the tone of our discussion. We should strive to see all avatars as reflections of ourselves.

My friends, I think the real issue is how much the government has spent in previous years funding BOTH Dinosaur and Ice Weasel research. Heathansson and Sebastian bring nothing new to our political discussion. Their argument masks the truth that both animal research lines suck up gazillions of samoleans each year.

As the nominee of the Whig party in 2008, I pledge to have both lines of governmental silliness discontinued. Say no to silly animal research funding grants!

Vive les Arcadiens!

Vive les Gauloise!

I say ... what is everyone looking at?

I say .. Is there to be a pig roast after the play? What a splendid way to finish such a stirring story! Will there be potato salad and corn?

I laughed. I cried. I learned.

Bravo little scaly thespian ... bravo

*sniff*

**APPLAUDS***

ENCORE! ENCORE!

For the Whigs!

You mean I should be using 2 5/8" instead?

I thought those were supposed to be put in using a brick.

That sir is what Libertarians use. Slightly less mess, roughly the same outcome.

Using government to regulate morals is like trying to secure a 3" screw in place with piece of concrete . It can be done, but the resulting mess makes you wonder why you bothered to try in the first place.

This also applies to government disbursing money to the needy.

WHIGS in 2012!

Sounds about right. I'm probably a litter lower on the social score, but not by much.

I can see loaded question bit, but I think the test would better if it made it clear on whether or not its talking about what you want from government, and adding a neutral button.

OMG! Ronald Regan is back from the dead.

Actually my dear sir, ol' Gipper rated much higher on the Y axis, somewhere positive, if I remember +3 or so. This fine young man has the makings of a good Whig.

If *real* conservatives (yanno, the ones who believe that government should stay the heck out of our private lives, bedrooms, bank accounts, phone lines, emails, etc.) ever come back into power, I'll welcome them back

Wow, and I thought I was the only one who had noticed that. I was starting to feel like I was hallucinating that. Thanks for saying it, Set. Kudos!

I'll add mine as well. Glad to see so many possible Whig voters out here!

...

As a "socially liberal fiscal conservative,...

The Whig Party needs fine upstanding young satyrs like yourself for delegates to our National Convention.

*Whack whack whack!*

Come see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED!

As the chairman of the Whig National Committee, I urge all of you to rise up and barbeque Greasy McPorker in true 4th of July fashion.

Sic Semper Tyrannis!
