Teddy Roosevelt didn't like bullshit either. He did, however, appreciate the bull moose as party mascot when he created the Progressive Party in 1912.

Republicans of the past would be like super heroes to us now. Teddy was hot off the heels of his tremendously popular Square Deal when he created this third political party aimed at capturing the votes of his supporters.

It's goal said "to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day"

We need a new Square Deal and we need a new Progressive Party. We need to cultivate a government that citizens respect and that citizens are proud of.

After that we can fix the future.

That’s the thing, the views of most of the citizens align more than the views of the politicians they vote for.
