if you were prez what would you do? other than bush and kerry stuff. like would you stay in Iraq or would you pull out( god forbid)? economically would you raise taxes? gay marriage( eeww)? etc etc.
I would call for a bill to be introduced that would ban abortion forever. There is no greater assault on the American people today than the slaughter of the unborn. One third of all conceptions will end in death; thats a baby killed every 30 seconds.
More Americans will die in the next 30 hours, than have died in terrorist attacks in the last 30 years.
I would pull out of South Korea, because they treat our boys like ass and protest their presence constantly. Let them fend for themselves. As far as Iraq goes, the Middle East is way more complex than everybody thinks. There is no simple answer. British Colonialism, hegemonic struggles, nationalism, factions and a host of other things have torn that place up, and one conflict is not going to change a whole lot. I would have to think harder on that one. I would institute a flat tax policy, and downsize the government by 25% in a hurry. I would wipe my ass with the assault weapons ban, the Patriot Act, Patriot Act II, and anything from the ninth circuit. I would do everything in my power to distance myself from large corporations, and do everything in my power to bring back mom and pop shops and small farms. And I would sign any amendment that outlawed gay marriage.
My campaign slogan would be a saying from good old uncle ted himself......cocked, locked, ready to rock doc! Yeah, I know some of you don't like Ted, but I think he is one hell of a Patriot.
That is a tough question, but let's face it - what issue should really be important to us all? A home that is protected from foreign and domestic intruders and a place to work in order to have a home. That's my angle anyway. I would reduce if not shut off our dependency on foreign oil. I don't really care about a tree here or there that'll get cut down. We have enough oil under our butts to last us the rest of time. Let's use it. I would change policy for imports and exports to favor this country rather than selling the entire thing away.
Read what BigBore said again, I would do that too, especially this one:

I would hammer away at how crucial national security is because if there were more attacks on USA then there wouldnt even be a economy to talk about. National security would be my platform and with that i would take away pakistans billion dollar plus aid and use it for acquiring manpower for our borders to prevent illegals and terrorist from coming up meanwhile i would grant those in the US illegally to take two tests 1. basic english test 2. drug test if you pass both you can get temporary work status if you fail one you go back to your homeland. this test would only be available for 1 1/2 years then after that you get sent back no matter what.
im lookin for a runnin mate? how about it cal hunter?
The only sucking done in the Oval office would be by the vaccum cleaner.

National security would be my number one concern...There are two mindsets concerning national security. The first is: close the borders and hunker down. The second is: take the fight to those who would do us harm.
A lot has been said over the last few months regarding border control. We have thousands of miles of borders, there is no conceivable way that it can all be monitored and controlled all the time. germany tried that for over fifty years, and even with a wall and the threat of certain death if caught, folks went back and forth from east and west germany all the time.
There is just no way to protect ourselves from every conceivable terrorist attack from every conceivable front...It just can't be done...Somehow, someway, someone will get through and cause dammage.
Isreal is a fine example of trying to stop terrorists with walls and guards.
The other option, is, go out and eliminate the threat.
Which is what we are currently doing.
Somehow, Mexicans crossing the borders has been equated with terrorists...They are two different animals.
Kill the bad guys, and find another way to deal with the influx of mexicans carrying back pack blowers.
Sealing the borders is a pipe dream, not only WON"T it happen, It CAN"T happen, It only leads to a form of isolationism which leads to a false sense of security.
America has tried to isolate itself to many times in the past, it has ALWAYS led to millions of lives lost. Whether we like it or not, we are the "Big Dog" of the world, and occasionally, we've got to turn the dog loose.
1) within 4 minutes of taking the oath I would inform all IRS workers that they have 2 minutes to clear out there offices. National sales tax would be implemented
2) Police would be informed that they shall not look the other way at illegal immigrants anymore, and the new homeland security officer (fng) would deal with them
3) Miltary would no longer be used as the worlds police. We would pull out of all countries that aren't named the United States of America. We would however stay in Afganistan and Iraq since I believe in finishing what you start.
4) American idol would be banned from television

Jeez, I wonder how many of you truly know how the government really works.
Anyway, my plan for America.
1. I would remain in Iraq until they are a stable, free state.
2. I would propose to eliminate The Department of Energy and The Department of Housing and Urban Development.
3. I would propose to eliminate the policy of block grants to state and local municipalities. If they need money, let them get it from their constituents and be held accountable for it.
4. I would gradually shift to a consumption based tax system.
5. I would seek to dissolve all Federal Native American Treaties.
6. I would buy Matthew Lesko's book on Government programs and do away with all of them.
7. I would reform the INS policy to eliminate most programs for foreign nationals to attend American Universities. I would also increase the amount of INS field agents and instruct them to enforce the illegal immigration policies. I would send the Department of Justice after any municipality that doesn't cooperate with those laws.
8. I would nominate for the Judiciary a pack of Antonin Scalia clones. If the Democrats fillibuster them and refuse them a vote, I would install them via recess apointments and force a vote on them.
9. I would seek to repeal the Civil Service Act of 1883 and the Civil Service Act of 1978, making it possible to fire a government employee for incompetence.
Well if I was assured that congress would not over ride my decisions I will give it a go.
1. Illegalize abortion
2. Mandatory sterilizaton of any woman with more than one child on public assistance.
3. Mandatory sterilizaton of any man that fathers more than one child on public assistance.
4. Streamline the appeals process for anyone condemned to death to a one year process.
5. Impose a flat tax with absolutly no write offs or credits of any sort for both individuals and businesses.
6. Eleminate all foriegn aid.
7. Crush any country or group that attacks America or Americans abroad.
8. Create 2 prison systems, 1 for first time non-violent offenders geared towards rehabilitation, the other would be for all violent criminals and all repeat offenders, no parole, no TV, no recreation, simply a small cell with food water and health care.
9. Eleminate "white collar" prisons, throw them right in with the rest of the dirt bags!
10. Create a job training program that anyone on welfare must attend, they get one shot, if after a year they have not found a job, to bad, so sad, no more welfare.
11. Take all children from parents who are dopers/criminals and put them into good homes, the people who took these children in would recieve assistance for health care of these children.
12. Pedophelia would be punishable by death.
13. Anyone filing a frivolous lawsuit would be fined and have to pay all the court cost for the defendant.
14. Eleminate all forms of government subsidies to businesses and individuals with the exception of the mentally and physically impaired.
So much more, but that would be a decent start!
