OK, I'll bite. What sets you apart from the herd?
Everything. I am crazy after all. Not you run of the mill kind of crazy but the batsh#4 crazy type.
How would you propose America address our failing (already failed) economy?
Legalize marijuana. Tax it.
Legalize all recreational drugs... Tax them.
Hemp, Hemp oil.... New industry....
Do you feel our domestic problems should be Priority 1, or should we focus more on our foreign affairs?
All of the above. competition means we will have to produce the best product to compete.
What are your feelings about the Federal Reserve, DHS, Justice Dept., and TSA?
Get rid of them all. They are all a waste...
Oh, and our borders?
Expand them... We will need more land to grow more...
Hope it's not too much at once. Looking forward to your reply.

I agree with the points you have in your other post, great ideas. I guess what I want to hear is what sets you apart from the rest of the crowd? What about YOU should make us believe you will follow through, rather than just make promises? We all know a president is limited in powers, but how will you work toward your goals?
Thank ya'.

That IS the real question for all of them isn't it? How many promises have we been given and how few have we received?
I'm a hillbilly. Born in the Virginia mountains and raised up and down the spine of the Appalachians. To me, you are only worth your word or the gunpowder to blow your lieing ass away...
I am sure almost every politician came to DC with perfect dreams and ideals....it's only by removing the corruption...aka....career senior politicians and the lobbyists...can we hope to see those idealistic goals adhered to.
Me personally....I think Government positions should be the equivalent to jury duty....something you "have" to do as a citizen...there should be no road to wealth or glory...it's just something you are called to do...you do your terms and you go on with life...no perks, no retirement, no fame and fortune....this way....we might get some honesty and integrity back in office. it should be about serving the people, not serving yourself, friends and family.
Just my opinion though.
