Periwinkle Party

After the failure of the Democratic party, the Periwinkle party rose from the ashes. Periwinkle is a shade of purple, a combination of blue and red.
We are attempting to gain conservative votes while holding on to as many liberal votes as we can. We believe we can have a solid base in the minority vote, as well as people age 18-24. We will stay strong on the classic social issues but we will take a tougher stance on immigration. This will affect the minority vote but we hope we can hold on to enough of their votes with various social programs while gaining conservative votes due to the crackdown on illegal immigration. We will support a government run health care system. We will implement this over the long run, not immediately.
On the issue of the conflict in Iraq, we will continue to fund the war as long as a realistic timetable for withdrawal is formed. We hope to attract the median voter on this particular subject. Since the republicans are alienating the executive branch we believe we can gain some of their votes based on the Iraq issue.
When it comes to the budget, we will be fiscally conservative in nature. Based on some current events we will attempt to appeal to the southern conservatives in states suffering from the drought by creating new policies to cover such circumstances.
The party will concentrate the bulk of its resources on congressional elections. We will have strong grassroots campaigns and from local coalitions at universities and major city centers.
When it comes to a possible presidential candidate we have chosen Rudi Guiliani as our eventual choice. We hope his conservative nature and liberal views on some issues will make him a good fit for our party and for the median voter. We will also enlist John McCain and Joseph Lieberman.
In the long run we hope to gain a strong presence in congress and make a successful bid for the White House.
