The US Federal government is currently dominated by two political parties.

One of the parties is identified as the Democratic Party and described as liberals, socialists, progressives, leftists, and statists. If you listen to their opponents you would hear that they hate…
the military, guns, Christianity, Israel, the wealthy, employment, free speech, corporations, the country, and humanity.
The other party is identified as the Republican Party and described as conservatives, and rightists.
If you listen to their opponents you would hear that they hate…
women, old people, minorities, the poor, and Muslims.

If you are a member of either party you might be offended by the accusations against your party, and yourself. There seems to be little tolerance, and both sides say that those who don’t agree with them are closed minded. Since one party appears to represent the poor and disadvantaged, and the other appears to represent the wealthy and over-advantaged, I want a party that represents the middle class, average person who is willing to contribute to society through their employment, yet are mostly interested in enjoying time with their family and friends. This is the group the other parties are burdening to support their constituencies and to impose their social engineering.

I don’t like the labels given to the two parties. They are inaccurate, pejorative, or have lost their original meaning. I prefer to think of them as “Pears”. Let’s call the “left” the Bosco Pears, and let’s call the “right” the Bartlett Pears. The intent is to find names with no pre-conceived meaning or connotation.

For now, I am the candidate for President of the United States of America from the Orange Party. Again, the intent is to find a name with no pre-conceived meaning or connotation. So, it is the Oranges versus the Pears.

The eligible voters can be segmented into three categories…

1. Those that would blindly vote for one of the two major parties
2. Those that would vote emotionally based on the stated goals of the party with the best marketing
3. Those that are aligned with the unstated goals of one of the parties.

There is little chance I can receive the votes of those in categories one and three.  I must hope that I am able to convince more of those in category two to vote for me, than those in categories one, two, and three who will vote for any other candidate.  So, I must make a compelling argument for the virtues of my positions and a compelling argument for those inclined toward that position to actually vote.

This blog is the beginning of the adventure and its challenges.

Conjecture: There are many people who would disagree with the unstated goals (aka hidden agendas) of the two sides.
