My Presidential Platform

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I voted early yesterday. No lines. Long ballot. I’m done (but I still have to listen to all the stupid commercials…oh well, can’t have everything I guess).

As I have been thinking about voting this week I started thinking about what my own presidential platform might include. Here are a few of my most important “issues” (some serious, some not so much…you figure out which is which):

  1. My first act would be to outlaw all pennies!
  2. I would repeal the income tax and switch to a consumption tax (see Fair Tax.org).
  3. I would outlaw all political ads during election season (like they do anything besides make people angry anyway).
  4. I would re-institute prayer in schools (at least the option).
  5. I would make the Broncos the official “America’s Team” (who gave Dallas that title anyway?).
  6. I would Drill Baby Drill!
  7. I would make Chuck Norris my Secretary of Defense (and State, and NSA, CIA, and FBI).
  8. I would give every person in America hunting season off (for that matter, let’s do a 3 day work week!).
  9. I would outlaw usage of the term “organic” with very few exceptions.
  10. I would move Craig Ferguson to time slot I could actually watch.
  11. I would give North Dakota to the Palestinians (like we’re really using it anyway…and it’s bigger than the West Bank with more resources).
  12. I would cut government spending and programs by at least 1/2 and I’d probably let my kids decide what we should do without (yes, even they could figure this one out!).
  13. I would bomb France and give it to the Shiites (mostly because France annoys me).

I think that’s a good start. Anything I missed??

PS: Don’t forget to vote…especially if you want to complain about it later! You can even write my name in if you want. :cool:
