Help Wanted (Needed): A political party willing to represent the 49% (see note below) of the American people who believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, economic justice, freedom of religion, fair elections, equality, equal opportunity, due process, privacy, civil rights, civil liberties, environmental protection, freedom of the press, international law, and personal freedom (the real kind, not the "on the march" kind).
Qualifications:
The opposition political party must share these beliefs and stand up for them at all costs. This party must be willing to use all available political, procedural and communication tactics to support these beliefs and oppose any acts taken to destroy or damage said beliefs.
This party must be loyal to their constituency forsaking all lobbyists, corporations and media hacks. This party must be willing to fight and fight hard even if it means that Ann Coulter will say mean things about them on FOX news. This party must be willing to speak truth to power, and when needed, use the right words for the current "outrage of the day" whether it be liar, fascist, propagandist, war criminal, or just plain criminal. (Additional qualifications and job duties, if any, will be listed in the comments section below).
This is not a part time job. Barring unforeseen sanity on the part of the majority party, the opposition party has to oppose all the time. This is difficult, but essential. Our current "state of the union" demands continual opposition. You can't swing a dead cat (which is actually Senaror Frist's job) without hitting some legal, moral or ethical outrage. When appropriate, the opposition must also propose sound, reasonable ideas and solutions of their own. This is because our opposition is principled one, not just a craven political act as some would have you believe.
We are looking to fill this position immediately as it has been vacant for some time. Applications not required. Just step up and do the job. Performance will be rewarded with votes, contributions, time, energy and moral support. If all goes well, you will be eligible for a promotion to majority party in 2006.
Note: The constituency may be larger than 49% considering vaporized votes, voter suppression, propaganda, FOX News, CNN and the overall feelings of disgust that the non-voting public has for politicians in general, particularly politicians who stand for little besides their own self interests.
