President of the United States

@DiscordTiger Said

Abolishing the income tax.

@chaski Said

Really?

It wasn't worse just a few years ago? Two wars, recession, etc.

Even the conservatives say that the country is recovering... they say it is the slowest recovery ever... but to recover, things had to be worse.

@Leon Said

Yes, I did read what you wrote. You asked if I lived with him as governor.

But no, I didn't live with him or live in Minnesota while he was governor.

And fair enough, that you cannot really convince one of. I obviously don't have a problem with him as a person.

@Leon Said

Ah yes, fair enough. That might be a bit harder to pass then. But that's one idea that I don't care as much as the others.

So if you read what I wrote, why did you not just reply to it, instead of quoting something unrelated to what I was asking? You are acting like some other members here.

Well, I think there are a lot of people in Minnesota who think he would be an embarrassment as president, but I'm not going to give much effort to it because I think Michele Baths***crazyBachmann has a better chance than he does of sitting behind the desk in the oval office.

@Leon Said



You quoted a statement that I wrote about him not meeting with any lobbyists by asking if I lived with him. So I thought you were referencing the fact that only someone who lived with him would know if that were true or not. Obviously I have never lived with him, so instead of answering that directly, I addressed the reason why I thought you were rhetorically asking that.

If you had worded it better the way you did later, then I would have understood that you meant to ask if I lived in Minnesota while he was governor and this runaround could have been avoided. It wasn't off topic or unrelated.

@DiscordTiger Said

and I think he his other ideas have just about the same chance of passing... making them, and him, pretty much a no-go.

@floydgirrl Said

omfg I just read he wants Howard Stern as his VP. Please for the love of all things holy let this be a joke.

With that said, the POTUS should not be a joke.

@Leon Said

Even so, I'd rather vote someone who has the balls to try than to elect another in a long line of status quo politicians who always keep the same course and never turn the ship away from the many problems we are facing, just because we don't think his ideas will get by them. If I believe in ideas I'll vote for them, regardless of whether or not I think they will see the light of day.

@DiscordTiger Said

What I am saying is ideas are not enough, especially if you don't have the means to get any of them accomplished. Then it is all just like a fart in the wind. All thought and no action is just as destructive as acting without thinking.

I want my politicians to be smart and knowledgeable about the system, and know how to work it to accomplish things. Before you can change things, you have to know how they work, or you go tinkering in there all willy nilly and the ship sinks.

I just prefer that politician not be douche canoes. But I certainly think they need more than just "balls". Actually balls might even be required.

@Leon Said

Ah yes, fair enough. That might be a bit harder to pass then. But that's one idea that I don't care as much as the others.

Jessie Ventura is running for president of the Untied States.

Would you vote for him?
