Scale down ops in Iraq, banish far-left loonies to Kanadia, shut down the Mexican border, ban abortion in most cases, make marijuana legal and tax the hell out of it, scale down the war on drugs, invest in ethanol fuels, sliding income tax scale, invest in small businesses, slash the hell out of welfare, raise minimum wages, massive tort reform, term limits for congressmen and senators, and some other small things.

If nominated I shall not campaign. if elected I shall not serve. If elected emperor, I would do some house cleaning! ;D Platform: All Islamic terrorist are to castrated using the same knife that was just used to castrate a piglet. All child molesters are to be castrated with the same knife just used for the terrorist. Teddy Kennedy will have his tongue, right eye, and right hand removed using the same knife used on the other two. Al Gore will be forced to move to Tibet and live in a monastery. NY Times will be sold to Bill O'Reilly for $1.00. All former employees will be then sold to Iran as bonded servants. Hilary Clinton would be lobotomized using the same knife that had been used for the perverts. Nancy Pelosi would be locked up in a prison for the criminally insane. MR. Shermer and Sharpton would have their tongues sewn to their left jowl since they both like to talk nonsense out of that jellied half of their quivering mass. Trufully, I agree with Remey, there is no amount of money in the world that could force me to put my family through the hell of public office. However, I would like to find someway to correct the hypocrisy that plagues American politics and the willful arrogance that Joe American prides himself on. "Ignorance and arrogance are a lethal combination. Nowhere do we see that more clearly among writers and performers who pontificate as historians when they know nothing about history." -- Victor Davis Hanson |

It is apparent that Americans are discontent.
Why then do we tolerate the circus we call American politics?

It is apparent that Americans are discontent. Why then do we tolerate the circus we call American politics? Wow, where is Mario? This is one of his stong suits. We all have opinions, but I believe it comes down to the basic conflict of having a sense of control v out-of-control. The President is perhaps the most powerful individual in the world today. Yet, in the real scheme of things, the real power rests with the ingornant masses who accuse and praise him. Meanwhile, the Senators, Representatives, State legislators, Judical system, and local govenments have the real power. The hypocrisy is that the masses have chosen to believe what they hear rather than what they see. AP, the most powerful media source in my life was a 1971 animated movie entitled: "The Point". The premise is that a boy is born grossely different from the rest of the world. His parents attempt to hide his disformity until he crosses the evil son of a powerful politician. The kid (Oblio) gets banned to the "pointless forest" where Oblio and his dog Arrow are overwhelmed to discover that everything has a point. The most powerful quote in my world came from a simple scene in the movie: “And when the Pointed Man disappeared, Oblio and Arrow were left standing alone, wondering what to do next, when suddenly they were aware of strange sound coming in from the north. And when they looked up, there was a giant swarm of bees headed straight for them. So, to seek cover, they jumped inside a hollow log. But when the bees attacked, the log was jarred loose, and it tumbled down a steep hill, and it careened and crashed finally into the base of a most unusual rock pile. In fact, the Rock Man. And the Rock Man said "Say, what's happening with you boys, you look like you're pretty shook up. You been goofing with the bees?" And Oblio told the Rock Man that they were banished and asked him whether or not this was the Pointless Forest. The Rock Man said "Say babe, there ain't nothing pointless about this gig. The thing is you see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear. You dig? You ever see Paris?" "No." "You ever see New Delhi?" That was a no.
"Well that's it. You see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear." And with that the Rockman fell soundly asleep, leaving Oblio and Arrow once again all alone. So, they continued on through the Pointless Forest until suddenly Arrow, who had been running a few feet ahead, disappeared. Into a hole. The Point of No Return.”  |

I'm an extra happy sexagenarian, and I'm in my own world; one I designed. I'm running a corporation, a professional student/nutty professor, and a really great husband, father and grandfather! I don't need the Washington BS plus I don't want to live that close to my former -sister! |

If you ran for President what would be your platform? Just for fun let's make a short list which would guarantee my place as the A#1 assassination target in US history. #1. The Constitution of the United States once again becomes the ultimate Law of the Land. If it isn't there then that subject is again outside the purview and authority of the Federal Government. Gee, I think that's all the list I need. This gets rid of several Cabinet level departments and 3/4's of all Federal spending including most vote buying and social engineering programs for starters. That one move would put me on the "better dead" lists of many on both the extreme Left AND Right. ;D |
