Odd People And Parties Who Never Should Have Run For Political Office
The National Prohibition Party Hates Fun
Claiming the Prohibition era was the greatest 13 years in American history, the National Prohibition Party has one, very obvious goal in mind. Still, in order to bring prohibition back, the party needs to get a President elected. In 2004 and 2008 they chose Gene Amondson as their candidate. A preacher for 40 years in Washington, Amondson was more than up for the task.
As part of his campaign, Amondson claimed that “drinking responsibly is like teaching a pig to eat with a spoon. Can’t happen.” So far the National Prohibition Party has been met by mostly deaf years, rarely getting a percentage of votes. We think we know why.
