1st thing I would do is get rid of income tax... decrease what I would call the need tax...Then big time increase what I would call the want tax... In other words you get what you need cheap you pay through the nose for what you want...

First, be realistic, then state your qualifications, maybe you could be a write-in
Reduce the overhead - military didn't used to pay income tax - reason - stupid to tax when they have such low income - now they tax and give them foodstamps - reason, more people needed to process the paperwork.
-
Don't pay judges a salary when they are in jail, now they do, WHY ??
-
Bring back the California constabulary (also other states), it was a state police force under a federal judge to investigate political corruption and that's all they did (they could even arrest the govenor if they had sufficient evidence). Politics got rid of it because it worked.
-
Adapt the methane gas generators to produce the added power we need - it worked in Calif. (Los Angeles - The Bradley dump provided the methane gas (a natural process in all landfills) and four electrical generators provided all the power needed for a large housing project (an experiment) for estimated 200 yrs, they quit the project after a few years).
-
We have the technology to solve the problems, if we don't reward the politics for not solving the problems and reward them for solving the problems they would be resolved.
-
find solutions for the problems and run on that platform, you may be elected to congress.

Voted for: Rudolph W. Giuliani
He has earned some respect, especially after the whole 9-11 ordeal...
And I have to agree from the first page of this thread that America is not ready for a Female or Black president. The only thing I see coming from that - due to stereotyping & prejudice's in this country, which is sad, would be assassination attempts & uprisings...

You all are on crack. There is no way a lying, flip-flopping Yankee like Rudy Giuliani is going to win the White House. *smirk*

I think that NOT ONLY have "ALL" the candidates lied in their pasts, The majority of humans including yourself have lied about something. My Vote is based on who I think can handle the pressures & decisions faced as President through their proven track records in similar Authoritarian positions - Not if they lied in the past (Imperfect Humans), got a blow job from an intern (Human Lust & sexual urges), smoked a bit of marijuana in their childhood (Experimenting), Etc....
I suppose we each vote according to a different view point.. how do you size up who you vote for?

Speak for yourself. I have never lied about a single thing, ever.

Not me, I believe the leader of the free world should be a paragon of virtue whose conduct should be held up to an infinitely higher standard than the rest of the world. His or her character and previous actions should be absolutely, 100% flawless if they want to be my President.

I could not disagree with you more. If you want to be the President of the United States then you should certainly never done any of these things ever in your life. Essentially the President someone who has never made a single mistake in their lives.

Yes, that is all too evident. I don't believe that we should have to lower our standards and settle for people with a flawed character, or questionable leadership skills. It hasn't worked out very well in the past, so why continue to make the same mistake again?

I am still undecided. After all, how can one seriously be forced to choose between a turd sandwich, a giant douche, a pile of rotting feces, and a fetid cess pool of excrement?

phlegm,
You seriously think there is such a thing as a FLAWLESS Human that has Made NO MISTAKES? sounds like you think the president is a direct descendant of Jesus Christ....
ALL Humans make Mistakes, the ones that say they have NEVER made a mistake, Never lied or Never masturbated Are simply showing their lying side them self....
I seriously Doubt you can Name ONE perfect Human, Even priests make it to the papers these days for Molestation, Adultery, Bigamy, Theft, Lies, Etc....
I think you may have good intentions, however the thought of a Perfect / Flawless human is a little exaggerated & imaginative.

I'd vote for myself.
First thing I'd do is grant a pardon to everybody who was in jail for:
1. Not paying taxes
2. Unpaid traffic tickets
3. Other stupid noncrimes.

I'm perfect, as stated before in many threads.
Jesus Christ is dead no? I think that's pretty much the biggest mistake he made.
(not funny? offended? im sorry)
