And parties, by their nature, are about how to organize government.

What the Wordle doesn’t do is look for good ideas and nonsense, which are both plentiful. For instance, you’d like the Constitution Party’s explicit support of homeschooling, but then one finds that they want to rescind foreign aid and collect all debts owed the US. Let’s just hope nobody comes collecting those we owe!

Anyway, here are the remaining party platforms of parties in contention of electoral college majority (so I’m not going to wordle the Marijuana Party Platform, for instance – “WE are Americans and WE do not piss in a cup for anyone!”).

The platforms look disgustingly similar to me. That probably says a lot, unfortunately. And they both used the word “government” too frequently, although it must be admitted that Wordle doesn’t distinguish between speaking of big government and limited government.

Without peeking, can you tell which party is which and why?

Wordle: John McCain Hofstra debateJohn McCain, Hofstra debate.

Wordle: Barack Obama Hofstra debateBarack Obama, Hofstra debate.

Wordle: Democratic Party PlatformThe one party platform…

Wordle: Republican Party Platform…the other party platform.

Well, for instance, find out just why Barack Obama beat John McCain via Nomination Acceptance Speech Wordle:

Obama: Wordle: Barack Obama Democratic Nomination Acceptance Speech

McCain: Wordle: John McCain Republican Nomination Acceptance Speech

I guess Americans preferred promise to fighting…

This is so fun. It would be a neat cover for a notebook. I wonder what else we could do with it?

I let it fill in automatically and didn’t even look at it.

I’ve now contributed three Wordles; you can find them, and any subsequent creations, at SursumCorda.
