The Reform Party is no longer a political force of any kind in this country (they received all of 481 votes nationally in the 2008 Presidential Election).
Ex-Pro Wrestler Jesse Ventura, who was the most prominent Reform Party candidate to get elected, called the Party, ''hopelessly dysfunctional.'' when he quit the Reform Party in 2000.
Yup, you're right as always 12Clunks, nothing looney about any of that.
