I have heard so much lately about the candidates for President. The fact that we keep getting people that I wouldn't even vote for for dog catcher is just disgusting. So I thought of who I would like to see running and wondered which way the folks here would run. Whiole I don't intend for this to be taken seriously, some one is sure to take some pot shots at me. So here is my preference for the job of Pres and VP.
President...David Frye VP............Pat Paulson
As an aside, I have been described as being to the right of Genghis Khan.

Preferably somebody who hates Lawyers And then, somebody who would reduce the thousands upon thousands of current Laws to the Ten Commandments. And then enforce them. STRICTLY! Then somebody who could control the News Channels..wipe them out, and allow two News Bulletins a day, each of one hour, on the other channels. Maybe THEN, we would get the IMPORTANT News instead of a bunch of rubbish used to fill the 24 hour slots we are subjected to now. And leading from that How about A 2-TIER Tax system, whereby Celebrities (UGH) get their own Tax band of 95% on everything they earn over $500.000 pa . Just a start

Including those? I heard that Mr. Ahmadinejad was retiring, maybe you want to offer him a second career?

You can join forces with the German hard left, they proposed something similar last week (100% tax on any income above 40k Euro/month).
In just one paragraph, you described an authoritarian socialist theocracy - and that was "just a start"!
Unless, of course, you were kidding...

Nope....the left have been trying the same thing all over the free world since the inception of income taxes. Google 95% tax rate in the USA....then look at Canada's history for examples right here.

Well, to be honest...not totally . I stated CELEBRITIES to get their own 2 tier tax bracket at 95% over 500,000. I stand by that. Too many people who are 'Celebrities' get consulted about THEIR opinion of 'Things', and mostly NONE of them have the brains to be able to make a comment at ALL . Limiting News programmes to two 1 hour slots per day would prevent or remove most of the rubbish they pour out day in and day out via TV etc. BE HONEST NOW: How frequently do we see distortion of truth, complete AVOIDANCE of the truth, and downright lies EVERY SINGLE DAY? When I was a kid, the news was mainly via radio, and then later on midday and 6 o'clock on TV. Maybe I am wrong, but I doubt it;I Times were happier and a lot less stressful as a result. NEWS SHOULD NOT BE ENTERTAINMENT. IMHO. The PRESS does not deserve freedom of expression, if it cannot express the unbiased and fundemental truth. I am sick of Editorial comments by somebody who sits in front of a tv camera spouting their OWN, and apparently unqualified opinion as if it was the undeniable truth. And finally, justice should be the right of ALL, not just those who can afford the 'best' Lawyers.
I'm willing to bet that even with Don's constant fear of anything "new" (made after 1980), it would be a better setup than we currently have, or are about to have however you look at it.
I'm afraid that there may be a few people that have issues with the Geriatric ward of PFF being moved into the White House though.

Might want to raise the fear bar a few years, he owns a Fiero.
And where's the geriatric ward? I need to apply.

Dead people are fair game for the thread, crazy is relative. Soooo who are your picks?
Barack Obama and..........Someone else, I suppose. Sorry, was thinking of the real world. Fantasy? Jay Bulworth (Warren Beatty) and Jefferson Smith (Jimmy Stewart), I guess. Maybe Dave Kovic as Bill Mitchell. Or Jimmy Smits as Matthew Santos and Martin Sheen as Jed Bartlett.

Martin Sheen might be good, how about Charlie?
