Sounds Good Except For The Name

Current Events » in reply to OK. Let's found the "Reason" political party here and now.

Your list and other comments sound like we are definitely on the same wavelength (in a non moonbat/new age manner). I really like the "if it cost no money comment". I would also add:

That science should be taught in science classes and religion in religion classes.

Let's prevent abortions by reducing teen pregnancy rather than denying medical care.

Too hot button issues for Republican's that they seem unable to apply reason to IMO. The second may be too specific as a true rational party should be a big tent where vigorous debate can take place even one on evolution versus creationism as long as each is taught in it's proper place.

I've been trying to think of a good name for such a party but the "Reason" or "Rational" party sound a lttle too smug to me.

Regards,
Mark
