Washington, D.C. – Voters in the U.S. may have more choices of candidates come 2016 if Congress approves an amendment to the Constitution introduced this week.  There could potentially be four candidates for president and other elective offices.

It will no longer be just a choice of liberal (Democratic) or conservative (Republican), but also left-wing conservative (Tea Party) , not to mention the free-for-all independent (decline to state).

In recent years, the unofficial Tea Party has gained more supporters especially among those who thought that the current Republican Party is not conservative enough. Tea Party-backed candidates have threatened, if not totally ruined the political careers of many long-time Republicans.

Informed sources who spoke to The Adobo Chronicles on condition of anonymity said that the new third party will be called The Republic of Tea, indicating an ideology that’s a cross between the Republican and Tea Party groups.

Questioned about the new third party platform, the sources said that it will be based on heightened capitalism; state-sanctioned religion; and a ban on divorce, sex reassignment surgery, labor unions and private educational instututions. K-12 will be totally abolished in favor of home schooling. The party will not have a foreign policy and will focus soley on domestic issues. The U.S. military will be privatized and run by thr National Rifle Association (NRA).

The sources refused to speculate on who will lead the new party.
