Presidential Run
« on: October 28, 2004, 01:34:17 PM »
Since I am finally old enough, I am running for President of the United States of America. I am running a campaign that is solely word of mouth. All I ask is that you write me in for the office. If you watched South Park last night, you know that the alternatives are a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich, so why not write in Peter Joseph Shepherd of San Jose California. At least I'm not a Giant Douche, nor am I a Turd Sandwich.

As for my positions on the issues, I believe in personal freedom and autonomy. I would use my power to protect those freedoms. I believe in the US Constitution and would do everything within my power to uphold it. I would appoint Justices who would be likely to uphold the Constitution and protect the interests of individuals over that of the Government. I would veto anything that came out of Congress that was unconstitutional and also veto anything that was obviously pork-laden. I would strive to balance the federal budget and streamline government. In other words I wouldn't be a hypocrite as all the recent past Presidents. I will accept no contributions so I can not be bought and will not cater to any monied interests. This is my solemn promise to you.

Well now that I'm finally researching it.  Each state has it's own laws for write-ins, so basically all the rules are in place to remove all the rungs underneath the ladder that the demublicans and republocrats are on, and the people like me who aren't affiliated with a 'party' have to start from the bottom of a mine shaft that is bored into the earth several hundred miles with smooth walls, no equipment, and not even a super power or two.

That sounds like a good ticket.

You guys should start your own party.  The "YOU KIDS GET OFFA MY LAWN" party.

If I were to affiliate with a party, that would be it.  But part of my platform is that I believe political parties are not part of the solution--and therefore must be part of the precipitate :lol:

If he's REALLY old school, in some states he'll only count the votes of white male property owners.

Which, by the way, would include me.
