If I ran, would somebody help sponsor my campaign? I won't raise your taxes.
Please announce your intentions to run against me, and let's have it with the stump speeches.

What's your position on Peak Oil and your energy policy?
What would you do about the war?
How do you feel about the Saudi Royal family?
What's your view of the Israel/Palestinian conflict?
What's your position on lesbians?
Why do you think you would be qualified?
What have you been smoking?

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

I'm setting up my exploratory committee as we speak, and I've already been able to include some of the brightest minds from all sides of the political spectrum. However, I won't make my final decision until I get back from helping the folks in New Orleans.

I declare that MacNN is a parliament system. Called it!
Because nobody here probably knows how a system of parliament works, people who run against me have to send me money, and declare in here that they like to eat crayons and are dumb.

Those are federal issues. The issues that we are responsible for creating legislation for involve things like whether there are enough smilies in here, and whether the reply button is big enough.

I'm nominating the bi-partisan ticket of Spliffdaddy and Lerkfish (or whatever names they go by now). It's the only way we'll get past this darned limiting two-party system. And after the backlash of the budster-besson sex scandal, nn'ers will want candidates beyond reproach.
I can just see the advertising now--there'll be a copper-plated, triple-pronged media campaign.

Vote for me, and I'll legalize drugs, prostitutes, whatever you want... I'll implement the clothing tax for beautiful women, and legalize and encourage beautiful women nudity.

Some of the most beautiful people I've ever seen have indulged in acts of prostitution.

I've been thinking about your candidacy and the whole proposition.
I think there should be a residency requirement of sorts. Someone who waltzes in singin a song or shleppin along without knowing the terrain, the issues, the common knowledge will be unable to govern effectively and will become an embarrassment to the office (if it were to be created). The process of learning is one that every poster must go through. In the position of POMPL, one shouldn't be still learnin the basics. One would engender too much resistence and resentment.
Another issue.
I don't trust someone who LOBBIES for the position. It isn't as though they have a wealth of anything to give (necessarily) as much as they want to jump the process of gaining P/L respect the old fashioned way...by EARNING it.

Oh, so you are unable to discern intellect, work habits, beliefs, methods of getting along with others, kindness, generosity or other attitudes except that they be conveyed in person?
I'll give you a clue, kmkkid, your post told me OOOODLES about you!
And I'd dare say you probably have less respect for me now than you might have before you read this post.

Internet posts tell me nothing because a total ass could be a nice person in real life just hiding under a guise for fun. And the opposite could also be true. I say a lot of things on forums that I wouldn't say in 'real life' cause I can vent without repercussions. Likewise I also help people out more on forums than I ever would on the street.

I think it's pretty obvious from reading my posts that I split my time between selling sausage to the underground with training baby seals.

Come on guys, which is better... Budster's chips and dip at his lame party where you have to bring your own beer, or my prostitutes and free beer?

No, because I'd know you were lying just like all politicians. What is the REAL reason? Don't keep inventing new ones.

Exactly, davesimondotcom. Whatever happened to politicians appealing to our HIGHER ideals?
But, wait, besson3c makes us recall he/she is a LIBERAL. What else can we expect from them?
