I'm not impressed. They still want the government to fund things that the government ought not fund. That, and right at the top of the page is a quote from Lincoln. That's a bit of a turn off for me.
If I had more time, I expect that I would compare modern Whigs to the original Whigs.

While I am, as I mentioned, unimpressed, I will allow that I more comfortable with them than I am with the current Democrats, and some Republicans. I still think that I prefer Tea Party Republicans, though.

"Second Amendment:
We support the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Our general viewpoint is that states can regulate firearms to whatever their local values dictate, but these regulations must be reasonable and can't be too costly or otherwise prohibitive to a point where it would violate the Constitutional right."
Uh-huh... Heard that from RINO's, and BLUE DAWGS enough to know "GUNS FOR ME! NOT FOR THEE!"

Re: The new american whig party
Yeah. That whole notion of "We support it, but..." doesn't sit well with me.
