Struggle for Precidency, 2012. The Republican Party has failed to find a proper presidential candidate. Desperate to defeat their political enemy Obama, they let the increasingly popular Tea Party redefine the Republican ideology. Attracting followers from many right-wing groups and donations from hundreds of influential corporations, a new political powerhouse, the Conservative Party, is born. Led by the previously obscure Arch Conservative politician Frank Fairchild, the party reaches spectacular popularity across the United States.

February, 2013. United States are having a rough time. Fairchild has won the election and is the new President, and his party dominates the Congress with over 250 representatives and 60 senators. The Liberal Party, formed to combat the Conservative threat, is no longer capable of acting on its own. The people are blinded by Conservative media and populist politics. If left unchecked, the Conservative Party will corrupt the nation beyond repair.

In these dark times, the Liberal Crime Squad is born. They are fighting for the Liberal values to save United States from certain doom. Although inexperienced, they are eager, open-minded, and most of all, Liberal. Join them.

The politics are copied straight from LCS - no whining about their actual feasibility or ethicality. Liberal is always better and Liberal policies always work! If you want to discuss these politics in terms of real life, go to some other forum.

Liberals *support* abortion rights, high taxes, socialism, unions, gay rights, privacy laws, women's rights, affirmative action, free immigration, military spending cuts, free speech (including flag burning), human rights for people, human rights for animals, renewable energy, clean industry, gun control, drug legalization, election funding reforms, secularism, police regulation and abolishing the death penalty. Conservatives oppose all of these - all they care about is profit and power, mixed with religious dogma and patriotic xenophobia. They want to turn the nation into a backwoods yet corporate nightmare, where you will get executed without trial for loitering and where armored squads will suppress any speech deemed offensive by those in power. The difference between Elite Liberal and Arch Conservative is the difference between a superb utopia and a totalitarian dystopia.
