Cool idea....

[Gop guy]

We should have a thread were we could pretend that we were running for President. We could all state how we would handle the problems facing our great nation and its interest. What do you guys think?

God bless America and our great President!

My ideal presidential candidate would:

1. Favor strict constitutional interpretation of the size and scope of Federal Government.

2. Jealously safeguard American sovereignty and ideals in the face of global socialism. And,

3. Hound-to the ends of the earth-any miserable son of a bitch who would dare attack this great nation.


I don't think President Bush is perfect, but he has my wholehearted support. He's light years ahead of that horse-faced pussy the Dems are running.

Welcome to the board, GopGuy.

Welcome to the board, GopGuy.

Those are good points. I DO NOT agree with Dubya on every issue. But he is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT SICKO KERRY.

I've been a member for a little while, but thanks for the welcome anyway.

God bless America and our good President!

I would:

Withdraw American troops from Iraq and put them on the U.S.-Mexico border, RIGHT NOW. Protect AMERICA, not Israel.

Deport all illegals, immediately.

Cut off the hate state, Israel, from ALL U.S. support. Thereby eliminating terrorist attacks by Islamics.

Get rid of the Dept. of Education, and pretty much half the rest of the federal bureaucracy. Use proceeds to pay off federal debt. Slash taxes.

Eliminate ALL federal gun laws as violating the Second Amendment.

Move to privatize Social Security.

Call a council to discuss returning to a metal standard for the dollar.

Get the U.S. out of the U.N.

Boot AIPAC out of D.C.

Appoint conservative judges to the federal bench.

That's just for starters.

 

[jimnyc]

Kill all the democrats (except DK

Live happily ever after in GOP heaven.

 

[Gop guy]

I would:

1. Quickly move to fire all liberal activist judges from duty, appoint as many conservatives as possible.

2. Reiterate this country's support for Israel, the Middle East only real democracy, and the foremost fighters in the War on Terror

3. Cut taxes for middle class.

4. Keep june 30th plan for Iraq, give our forces whatever supplies they would need until then.

5. WITHDRAW FROM U.N. Tell the to get out, move to Switzerland. They are trying to take away our naional soverignty and create a world government.

6. Threaten to cut off all relations with Canada, unless they actually move to stop their country from acting like a terrorist breeding ground.

7. Ask Congress to have U.S.-Mexican border mined and place troops there.

8. Attempt to continur talks with North Korea.

9. Support democratic movement in Iran.

10. Take whatever steps necessary to protect this country's Judeo-Christian values and traditions.

That's just the begining for me as well.

God bless America and our good President.

A few things I would do as President:

1. Develop a strategy to finish our work in Iraq as quickly as possible and with the fewest casualties possible.

2. End the War on Drugs and use that money to fund education in the form of teacher raises, building repairs, and improvements in teacher training. Also repeal the "No Child Left Behind Act"

3. Repeal the Bush tax breaks for the wealthy replacing them with meaningful tax relief for the middle class.

4. Slap massive tariffs on companies that export jobs to increase profits.

5. Make sure that every child in the United States has access to health care.

6. Move to secure Medicare and Social Security

I don't hear Kerry calling for end to the War on Drugs, Jim, do you? I sure wish he would, but he won't. As for the rest, of course I'm going to agree with Kerry, I'm a Democrat.

If I were president...

1) Promote whoever had the idea of blasting heavy metal and insults at the Iraqi insurgents.

2) Tell the average Iraqi citizens to help us clean out their country before we just decide to start drafting them into their military.

3) Impose federal laws protecting the integrity of news sources. IOW, make laws that would fine acredited news sources for lying and such.

4) Begin impeachment proceedings against all activist judges.

5) Begin impeachment proceedings for all judges who attempt to bypass minimum sentencing laws.

6) Put federal restrictions on grade school indoctrination (i.e. the heavy environmentalist hippy crap my generation had to put up with)

7) Close up the seive that is the Mexican border until Ziploc would be jealous, then tell the Mexican government that every citizen who steps one toe over the border will be shot on sight.

8) Do the same to Canada until they actually show a little responsibility towards terrorism.

9) Prohibit any governmental candidate from recieving campaign donations. All campaign funds will come from the government, giving an equal playing field. All media outlets that are not paid for by the candidates must give each candidate equal representation if requested.

10) Throw Gavin Newsom in jail.

11) Impose a federal prohibition on the rights of criminals to sue for injuries sustained during the commission of a crime.

12) Tell the U.N. they can cram their policies until they figure out that we're sovreign over our own nation.

13) Withdraw all of our troops and opinions from those who state that they do not want them. Then withdraw our support as well and use the funds to pay off the national debt.

14) Strategically place buckets of pig lard around every airplane flying to or from a U.S. city, and make sure that at least one is visible from every seat.

15) Tell special interest groups to !@#$ off.

16) Impose absolute federal limits on drawing welfare unless you are physically unable to do anything that you can be paid for.

17) Tell minorities to get their own jobs and money and that if they don't get them, it's not because they're a minority, it's because they suck.

18) All people who make statements directly against America, rather than just the current administration, will be deported to a country determined by previous behavior. e.g. Those showing support for Hamas will be deported to the West Bank. Those showing support for Al-Qaida will be deported to a hole in the ground in Afghanistan until they are shot for being a terrorist. Michael Moore will be deported to France. Jane Fonda will be deported to Vietnam.

19) Poor people who complain will be given a well-paying job and appropriate clothes. If they can't cut it, then they can't say they weren't given a fair shot and should shut up.

20) The court system will be redesigned around the revolutionary new concept of prosecuting criminals and sorting them out from the innocent, rather than the current model based around political statements.

21) Atheism would be removed as a state-sponsored religion. No religion would be taught, but all would be allowed to be heard.

Ok, there's my presidency so far.

Oh, let me a couple of things to my list, I would repeal all minimum sentencing guidelines and begin impeachment proceedings against all right-wing conservative activist judges who try and circumvent the Constitution, so we would need three new Supreme Court justices because Scalia, Thomas and Rehnquist would all be gone. Also, I would remove "under God" from the pledge of allegience, and "In God We Trust" from all currency because it is both unconstitutional and sacriligious.

So then what would you do to the activist left wing judges who find that they must create laws by interpretting existing ones with a new definition? Such as the dangerous precedent being set with the Gay MArriage laws in certain states.

 

[acludem]

The constitution mandates Equal protection under the law in the 15th amendment, Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (from http://memory.loc.gov/const/amend.html)

I don't see how reading this to mean a state depriving a gay couple of the right to marry is a violation of the equal protection clause could be considered "activist judging"

Ok then how can the state deny me my right to marry my sister? Or how can they deny me my right to marry my Dog? Or a 12 year old boy? Its my right to do said things. How can they deny me this?

simple, we're protecting the dogs right not to be married to you :

 

[Hobbit]

Gay couples have the same rights to marriage that everybody else has. A gay man can marry a woman, which is the same right a straight man has. It's equal protection.

By the way, here's what kind of bullcrap we'd put up with if you repealed all minimum sentencing laws.

There was an 18 year old man named Jorge Pabon-Cruz who was caught trafficking in more than 8,000 child pornography images into the country. Now, we're not talking "technically child porn" of 16 and 17 year olds. This is hardcore stuff going all the way down to infants. This is the most vile stuff I think anybody on the planet can look at. The minimum sentence for such a crime is ten years in this country. However, Judge Gerard E. Lynch thought that was too harsh for someone who had helped get profit for the sickos that raped the infants and got these pictures to the sickos that want to see them. During the course of the trial, Lynch urged the prosecution to reconsider the charge or plea bargain, in clear violation of the judge's code of ethics, which demands impartiality. Lynch even violated the law by telling the jury what sentence he would be given before they gave a verdict. At the sentencing hearing, Pabon-Cruz told the judge, "I didn't know it was wrong," a blatant lie. You'd have to be mentally handicapped (and he's not) or mentally ill (also a negative) to be 18 and not think child porn is wrong. Judge Lynch sentenced him to 10 years because his hands were tied. Lynch kept saying that it was the worst decision he had to make and that someone who was "barely more than a child" shouldn't have to serve ten years in prison. If it were up to me, the kid would've gotten the ten years, since he had no priors, but would've gotten two more for telling such a bald-faced lie. If it were up to Lynch, he'd get a fine and community service and would be free to keep trafficking in the kiddy porn. The reason there are minimum sentencing laws is to protect the citizens from idiot judges who try to portray drug dealers and child pornographers, among others, as victims. In truth, these people make victims and need to be locked up.

I originally heard about this story on Bill O'Reilly's "Radio Factor," but the original story is in "The New York Times," which spins it in the judge's favor. I read the article first (found the topic on the web, where it was posted 4 hours before the show is aired here) and was outraged before I heard O'Reilly's opinion on it, so Acludem can't just accuse me of buying in to the "conservative media spin" he's so fixed on.
