Naming a new broom
I'm a yellow-dog democrat and I always will be. But I'm curious as to what name a third party might be given should a real new party arise. The "Green Party" is lame. The "Libertarian Party" seems contrived. Any ideas?

What about The "Commonwealth Party"?
What about The "Citizenship Party"?
What about The "Liberal Progressive Party"?
What about The "Enterprising Socialist Party"?
What about The "Manumitter Party"?
What about The "Socialistic Capitalist"?

Help me out here.

Thanks

I just really hate The "Democrat Party". It sounds hill-billy.

1. It sounds hillbilly because it IS hillbilly
The proper name is the Democratic Party.

I'd prefer an organized wing within it called either the Social Democratic Party or the Progressive Party.

3. I know that Warpy, but I meant that I hate it when Bush and Bushies say it that way.
