No Bullshit, I am running for President

first.

[lagunasecaballs]

I'm in. I already voted for you.

[lagunasecaballs]

As discussed yesterday, you should start a new party called the Forum Party (thank you to Haley for the perfect name).

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Freedom Forum Party?

I like it.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Ballot access is the big issue. With a new party. I have research to do.

Is there another party you can infiltrate?

[lagunasecaballs]

True, you are pretty much SOL if you don't run as a D or R.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Is there another party you can infiltrate?

I actually think the libertarians would be easy-ish at this point. They have 50 state ballot access and don't have anyone "on deck" for next time.

I'm no pure libertarian by any stretch of the imagination but...

Yea, but you're far more electable than the current crop.

Of course, then you will be caught up in Forumgate.

He said really mean things to the user Troygituar. He also has a thread about booze, so therefore is an alachalolic

Why not the Dat Party?



But seriously, you've got my vote.

Dat Party Doe

To give you all a bit of a peek into my thinking

Starting after inauguration day I am going to release a series of videos on YouTube describing my ideas, policy positions, and how I came to them.

I don't know what happens after that but I figure 12-18 months of that first.

You should start by learning how to write American properly.

Troy: "whaaaaa no one represents me"

*Someone decides to spend their own personal time to push some reasonable ideas that normal people might like *

Troy:

You really don't get it.

No one will EVER represent me. That's what happens to people with minority views when representatives are chosen by popular vote.

My complaint is not that I don't have anyone to vote for - it's that voting will NEVER result in anyone representing me, period. I think popular vote is fucking retarded.

...besides, you and I agree on very little and you are unelectable anyway. So -

[Calvinball]

I think [user not found] is very electable.

Pro gun
Pro women
Pro
Pro common sense
Pro V8
Pro alcohol
Pro
Pro
Pro leaving some children behind

He's just a straight up Pro.

My foreign policy and tax opinions will trip some pure libertarians up, but that's ok.

And here we get to the core of the issue, no one represents you (in your opinion) but you refuse to do anything about it. I find this profoundly sad for you as a friend and for America.

There's nothing that I can do that will actually result in anything other than me having less time and money to enjoy. I'd rather ignore the whole process and live my own damn life than dedicate my whole life to trying to "fix stupid" - and failing because it can't be done.

Seriously - I want churches to pay taxes like any other business (and donations to churches to NOT be tax deductible). How do I make that happen?

[Calvinball]

Just try to not directly approach the tax issue. Just gently slide that one in there after you're elected.

Gently slide? ??

Whatchu talkin bout?

In4policy

We can't be the world police anymore but stability of the current world order is very very very firmly in our interest. We need to influence the world order more with financial investment (incentives for private investment) with military as a background stabilizer. Our current approach to China is actually quite good in this regard.

Taxes: the easiest way to cut taxes is to temporarily raise them. Balance the budget, mostly on the Pentagon's back but not exclusively, slightly raised taxes on the ultra rich (except provide tax incentives to direct investment in firms that employ Americans), take all the income above the balanced budget and pay down the debt. Take the bonus money from lower debt payments and cut taxes. Profit.

Vote cast.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

I really like the idea of closing tax loopholes by forcing everyone to pay tax. The only loophole and way to reduce tax burden is be investing in companies that directly hire Americans...tax benefit per head hired.

And the foreign policy makes me
