Edsinger, sorry, you started it!

First, make drugs from Canada legal.
Second, stop being Haliburtons Bitch.
Third, get us out of Iraq, without causing a new Vietnam. Set up relations, realize that democracy doesn't work for everyone, but make sure what happened in the pas doesn't happen again.
Raise taxes on people who make more than 500K a year.
Cut spending in the pentagon for things we need, like Social Security and education.
Nix the NCLB bs. It only hurts the smart students to bring them down for the dumbasses who don't care.
With the pentagon and spending, tell the people that a blackhawk helo or a tank isn't going to do much against an ICBM with a nuke in it, so no need to buy them.
Get Karzai out of Afganistan and let the people elect a president.(Because Karzai use to work for Unocal, a oil company freinds with Bush)
Get Fox News to tell the truth by making it illegal for the republican party to buy networks and other tv channels.(applies to dems also)
Have the FCC lighten up, just because 50 people are offended doesn't mean you should tell the other 200 million what they can't watch.
Fund stem cell reseach to help cure Alheimerzs(spelling sucks) Parkinsons, and the other nasty diseases.
Help Israel in the War on Terror(All terror, not just Oh! they have oil! Lets get them terror) by giving telling the terrorists/Palestinians to either take land in Syria/Jordan with your fellow brothers or be ready to be bombed and shot. in other words, if you want land, take land from your brothers who should be willing to give it to you and are larger then Israel, not bomb kids and women in hopes of a really small country to give you land after you killed the kids and women.
Then make the damn lobbyists criminals.
Sorry, but giving 50 mil to a senators campaign so he will pass your law should be illegal, not government at work.
Then realize we shouldn't piss off the UN and join them in the Kyoto talks and other forms of world governing to keep the planet from dieing.

Well, there is more, but hey, edsinger would make running for president against him illegal, I would support it by allowing other candidates to debate me. And if the republicans/democrats don't like it, then I would have our own debates with out them.

Edit: Turned one huge mass of great ideas into a bunch of cut up great ideas.

Could any other company have bid on the no-bid contracts?

So who you going to get to do it? Seimens?
See this thread
www.abovetopsecret.com...

Why did Clinton give Halliburton no-bid contracts in Bosnia?

Oh thats good, Hi tail it and Run....here is what will happen. Heard of South Vietnam? Doesnt exist today.....except your plan just makes Iran that much more of a threat. War between Iraq and Iran would ensue and you would have far more blood on your hands.

#, that leaves me with no taxes for a long time. I would be on board except that by doing so you piss the rich off, they close factories, move overseas, and then neither you or I got #. no Job etc etc



Originally posted by James the LesserCut spending in the pentagon for things we need, like Social Security and education.


Social Security huh? You going to raise the rates of the existing workers to pay for the promises of the crappy politicians made to get voters over the years?

Education?? Do you relaize that we already spend more money per student than anywhere else in the world? Why dont we make sure what we are spending is getting spent right instead of putting it into the Teachers unions pet projects.....

NOt sure what you mean here.

That is a dangerous route to travel, we need the blackhawks and tanks so we DONT get shot at by the ICBM's.....


Originally posted by James the Lesser Get Karzai out of Afganistan and let the people elect a president.(Because Karzai use to work for Unocal, a oil company freinds with Bush)

They did vote for him and the probably realiaze that his connections will get the country the help it needs to get started on a good footing.


Originally posted by James the LesserGet Fox News to tell the truth by making it illegal for the republican party to buy networks and other tv channels.(applies to dems also)


Did you know that the employees of Fox News gave more monies to the Democrats Campaigns?

Well you have to have limits, although I would love to see nice pair of boobs once in awhile, I do not want my son to ...it is called class...


Originally posted by James the LesserFund stem cell reseach to help cure Alheimerzs(spelling sucks) Parkinsons, and the other nasty diseases.

Will you also fund adult stem cells? Why embryonic? What ever happened to fetal ones? Is it beciase the promise of that did not live up to what science said it woudl and yet many abortions happned anyway to support this technology that didnt work? Do you know that stem cells are already being funded?With no shortfall expected in quite a few years? Both candidates are making this an issue for no reason.

What's say we just let Isreal loose....terror in their land will drop rather quickly. As for the palestinians to another arab country, id you know that palestinians are like lower class citizens in those countries. Like sending a black man to 1950's America in the South.


Originally posted by James the LesserThen make the damn lobbyists criminals. Sorry, but giving 50 mil to a senators campaign so he will pass your law should be illegal, not government at work.


AGREED! We agree on 2 almost

Screw the UN , they are corrupt, move ot to geneva and if they clean up we will come back and bring our $$, unless they go under first

No I wouldnt, not at all. If you noticed I said I would probably be shot first, thats why I said 100 days. I would also like debates, for all candidates. It is obvious why Kerry doesnt want Nader and Bush doesnt want Libertarians.


Agreed on 3! Am I that bad?

seriously though drugs from canada would be of the highest quality, you have one of the worlds best health systems in canada, better than the United States and i am sure the drugs are safe (although many cheaper, generic brands but standards laws makes sure there's no difference)

now if i was REALLY president, i would balance the budget, start paying off the deficit and repeal the patriot act and try and pass an amendment for right to choice for abortions. I would sign kyoto protocol and get on the auto companies backs to cut emissions while at the same time invest a trillion over 10 years in helping corporations develop the hydrogen economy. I would also invest another trillion over 10 years into nuclear fusion. I would cut the nuclear arsenal to 20 ICBM's and also press ahead with defence reforms. I would mothball 3 carrier groups and pull forces completely out of europe and asia. I would use all the power in my hands to shut down the black budget projects and also would cancel funding for any of these projects. I would also cut defence spending and reduce the size of the military. I would spend these savings on homeland security and my other programs.

For the war on terrorism : out of Iraq by 2006. I would seize saudi arabia's assets in the american economy and then sell them for a low price to US citizens and place economic sanctions on Saudi Arabia. I would rely on increased input from russia, venezuala and canada for the shortfall and continue progressing to a hydrogen based economy by 2030.

I would convert the economy to the metric system, the savings in the long run would be astronomical.

I would join the ICC.

I would stop providing money to Israel until they agree to favourable terms to the Palestinians and establish a palestinian state. Then I would give the aid to palestine.

these are just a few things i would like to accomplish or get started on in my 8 years in office.

of course i am an aussie therefore it'll never happen, but one can dream.

thanks,
drfunk

Hmm, well id have to vote the lesser of 2 evils and pick tiabun over james, but Im not too wild about most of Taibun's plans either, mostly on the scale of the change, not so much the issue being adjusted.

Taibunn's agenda critique,
a. boo, no reductions needed
b. cut some but not to that extreme
c. 1/2 those figures and ill agree to screw the rich
d. bad idea
e. also bad idea, sometimes a helping hand is needed, not everyone "camps" on these programs and many do move beyond them


It's not that people are camping on welfare. The problem is that Federal-assisted living destroys the integrity of society. Just think to the point when you started seeing homeless people. You'll find it coincides with the start of the country's socialization programs.



f. fine, but within limits
g. balance the budget, but dont tie the feds hands, just like sometimes we citizens must deficit spend, so might the government.
h. no...s dakota is pretty im sure, but why else go there?
"8 Years Later - National Debt Gone " LMAO, spoken like a true politician, predicting success when you really cant garuntee it. a promise you MIGHT be able to keep.



F. Definitely would have to be within limits, but the trade defecit in this country is out of control. We have to reign it back in, and throwing cash into American-unique technology can help the quality and demand of our exports.

South Dakota - because a nation should have its capitol in the center. This is for social, strategic, and political reasons that are well established. Look at the cultural disparity between the East Coast, the West Coast, and the heartland.

Graduated income taxing is evil like all taxes. But you have to admit that it'd be quicker to pay off the debt that we all owe without unduly hurting the quality of life of people by graduating the income tax to do so. Then it's gone, finished.

Defecit gone - well, that's the plan, at least.

US Military - this is the true state of welfare in this country. Not the servicepeople, the MIC.

a-again with the a? with no fed income, how will the feds pay for things? bad idea.
