The political party that I chose was the Christian Liberty Party. It's a minor conservative political party.They began because they thought there should be a political party that is "developed from God's Word". They originally began as a Washington state affiliate of the U.S. Taxpayers Party under the name American Heritage Party. William C. Goodloe agreed to form a state party in 1991 in support of a new national party effort. He changed the name to Washington Taxpayers Party. Most of the state membership preferred the name American Heritage Party, so they became that in 1998. On November 18, 2010 the American Heritage Party announced that they would change it's rename to the Christian Liberty Party to "ensure that our name, message and principles are fully and explicitly developed from God's Word."
My personal thought on this, personally, is that these people are a bunch of Jesus freaks. I don't mean this in an offensive way, for I am a christian myself, but making a political party dedicated to God seems pretty pointless. If one of their people decided to run for president, not many people would vote for them. The U.S. isn't 100% made up of Christians. Not everyone would be okay with this person becoming president.
I think it's good that they're principles are "developed from God's Word", but it's unnecessary to be totally devoted to God, as a political party. I think they're a fine idea if they appeal to other Americans.
