    Suppose you were running for president...what would your stances on the issues be, and what campaign promises would you make? I would promise to outlaw abortion, end the war in Iraq so we can fight terrorists instead, privatize social security, socialize medicare, and provide more foreign aid.

    1. Legalize Marijuana.
    2. Withdraw from Iraq and close our bases in EVERY other country. Fuck protecting other people and spreading democracy. Fuck The Muslims vs. The Jews. Lets let 'em all fight and kill each other till somebody wins.
    3. Cease all immigration. Not only from Mexico but from Europe, Asia and Canada too.
    4. Nuke the French. OK not really but it's not a bad idea.
    5. Old school punishment. You rape somebody, you get your dick cut off with a rusty carpet knife. You steal something, you lose your hand. You murder somebody, you get killed the same way. No appeal. No parole.

    7. Invest in fuel sources to get us off oil.
    8. Offer businesses incentives to keep them and jobs in the US.

    1. Abolish the Income Tax for everybody, and implement the National Sales Tax. This plan makes too much sense, so I doubt it will ever actually happen. FairTax.org

    2. Stay in Iraq for as long as needed, and not a day longer. Increase funding for intelligence, and special forces. Make the military leaner & meaner.

    3. Open up oil drilling in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Lakes, and any other place that we can get our hands on the stuff for a temporary relief from foreign oil.

    4. Begin a full-scale "Manhattan Project" to make hydrogen fuel cell engines, and the hydrogen fuel infrastructure needed, mainstream, available, and affordable. This one might take a decade or three.

    5. Stop all that oil drilling in step 3, tell the Saudis that they can now drink their oil, and cut all diplomatic ties with middle eastern nations.

    6. Legalize and regulate Marijuana, and prosititution, but NOT street prostitution.

    7. Repeal NAFTA.

    8. Secure the borders, and send home all illegal immigrants.

    9. End affirmative action. Employers should hire & pay people based on their talents & skills, not their color, race, or sex.

    10. Require that all schools teach Fiscal Responsibilty & Personal Finance classes as a required part of the curriculum starting in junior high, and through all 4 years of high school. It's amazing how many people are completly ignorant when it comes to money, and is far more important in your daily life than almost anything they teach you in high school.

    11. Privatize Social Security. The current system is going broke, and hurts the poor who can't afford to invest and contribute to an IRA or 401k on their own. Anybody who is relying on social security in its current form will be eating cat food and living a cardboard box when they retire unless they save and invest their money.

    12. Move the nations capitol to Las Vegas where my Oval Office will be a large suite on the top floor of the Bellagio. [​IMG]

    1. Withdraw from Iraq, and try Bush & co. for war crimes.
    2. Discourage corporate globalization by increasing taxes to larger corporations, and reducing taxes to smaller ones, as an incentive for a broader, more diverse market.
    3. Repeal NAFTA.
    4. Legalize gay marriage, abortion, marijuana, and prostitution, but impose regulation.
    5. Increase taxes to the rich, and use the extra cash to balance the budget and support social programs.
    6. Tax energy use on a sliding scale: you use more energy, you pay more taxes, if you drive an SUV, you pay a higher rate for gas.
    7. Reform the electoral system, remove the electoral college, and count all votes as one, don't base it on a state by state basis. Make the voting machines more accurate and require a paper audit trail.
    8. Subsidize alternative renewable environmentally responsible sources of energy.
    9. Socialize medicine and higher education to some extent.
    10. Leave Social Security the way it is (I'm surprised to see that one on people's list)! Privatizing Social Security is risky, plus it ensures that we get less because the financial institutions that handle it get a large chunk of our pie in the form of fees, etc. If they make profits, guess where that goes? If they lose money, guess who loses? They're gambling with our future folks, It's a win-win situation for the financiers, a lose-lose situation for the rest of us.

    campaign slogan: "More sex, less violence"

    Wherever you are living--you now OWN IT. No more mortgages, rent, landlords, etc.

    Homeless people are to be given squatter's rights on all unused buildings.

    Institute a maximum wage, pegged to the minimum wage. 10X, perhaps? Increase the minimum wage as needed.

NO Appeals for child molestors. In death penalty cases, the decision to give the DP, will be decided by a panel who reviews the conviction, yet never sees the offender, nor his name, until after the sentencing (to prevent "respectable looking" people from gettin off, and black, Latino and odd looking people from always getting the Sentence.)

    14. Allow filibusters.
