Bob For President

[Bob_for_President]

I am beginning a grassroots campaign to get myself elected to the presidency in 2004. No one knows who I am except those who have met me and believe me, they never forget me. I have started my campaign page athttp://www.doomwadstation.suhost.com/bob and would only ask that if you are tired of politics as usual and would like to hear a candidate speak candidly on any issue then please at least check out the website and if you feel that you like what I have to say then sign my petition to the U.S. Congress to get me on the ballot and contribute in my forum thread on my other site.
Thankyou

This looks like Spam and I feel like moving it to the joke section, but I'm nice.

Moving to political section from chit chat.

Spam? No. and not a joke.
It's no wonder this country is in such a quandry. Nobody has any guts any longer. If people took the process more seriously than they do then George Bush wouldn't be president and The economy wouldn't be in the dumps.

Nobody has any guts any longer? Tell that to the families of the troops serving our country to defend your rights and liberties.

I was also unaware that the country is in a quandry. Perhaps you need to learn a little more about macro-economics. There's a thing called the business cycle. It's quite natural for economies to go through ups and downs. Look at how fast the economy, stock market, etc. grew in the 90's. Only makes sense that things would slow up a bit for a while. I, for one, prefer not to have runaway inflation like we did in a couple decades ago. And while many people do suffer in a slow economy, many other positive things do happen. Shit, look at how many millions of people are saving a lot of dough by re-financing their homes at these low interest rates, for example.

Your other point about people taking the process more seriously is a point well taken. I, too, wish that more people voted and do other things to get more involved. But another way of looking at voter apathy is to consider that people are content with how things are. The Democrat and Republican parties are quite similar in much of what they stand for. Sure, there are some ideological differences on how big the role of the federal government in our lives should be, but in so many areas the parties do agree on things.

From your website:
"I would also propose decriminalizing the narcotic drugs"

You really want to legalise narcotics? Have you looked into the human consequences of this beyond the financial aspect of the savings from fewer people in prison. You really want people going down to the 7-11 to buy heroin, morphine, opium. Yeah, could I get a Big Gulp with that herion...

Pot is one thing, narcotics are a completely different ballgame, bro.

It all sounds so cute. Ooh... he's running for president! But the proof is, as they say, in the pudding. Check his web page. Make your own judgement.

Agreed. We are talking about serious drugs which destroy peoples lives, often leading them to a life of crime to support their habbits. Do you really want these substances to be legally availible in local bars/supermarkets/wherever? Personal choice is one thing, but junkies often destroy more than their own lives.

I agree as well. I am not pro-drug legalization, but think about this:

Alcohol causes just as many (if not more) social problems as drugs do. Alcohol comes in many different strengths - beer, hard stuff. Kinda like pot; cocaine.

Maybe it is time to legalize "some" types of narcotics, sell them in a controlled environment and allow the government to reap the money generated by the taxes collected.

Well I have a Libertaian/Conserative leaning, the past few months our Politco's have been holding us hostage with the sky is falling if we don't raise taxes, we just passed the first county income tax west of the Mississippi River, they have threathened to release people in jail & prison if they did'nt get a Tax increase, STEAL A CAR (You don't even go to jail , they give you a ticket and tell you show up in court, what a JOKE)

Our State has over 50,000 state employees our fine govonor had to cut some Jobs, out of 50K state employees the only jobs he could find to cut were 300 State Troopers, & from the crime Lab. That is a Criminal act of our Govonor just to raise taxes.

I am not trying to Flame, here but our state and fedral federal prisions 30% of the violent criminals are CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTS (I AM NOT SORRY IF THIS ANGERS YOU AND YOU CAME HERE ILLEGALLY) My wife is a Naturalized US citiizen, she went through all the steps, and we paid to did it right, we are bringing her mom her legally it has has taken 8 years and cost us over $7K. I belive in immigration (Legal) like the immigrants that came here and Learned english on their own with thier own money and wer'nt a leech on the system. Not illegal Immigrants with 8-9 kids on welfare. They saw they they do the low paying jobs that most americans don't want. would you turn down a job that pays $18-20 an hour. Look at the construction industry Framing, drywallling, etc. Next there is no immunization shot for TB, (TB is starting to spread in our public schools, no health screening for Illegal's)

So when you steal a car and don't go to jail but use Pot ( I personally don't , but I have tried it before) and you go to Jail that is wrong. I know they say Pot is a gateway drug. We have a Medical Pot law here. So I think that we should reverse it an put the Car thives, and people doing the home invasions in jail and give the tickets to pot users. TThere is a differnce I don't belive in Leaglizing pot just decriminalize its use. Do'nt fill up our prisions and waste court and cops time with paperwork for pot users, save for protection of our families, our property and our way of life.

I have got to stop, I love to talk Politcs but it gets me heated up. I could rant for pages.

Proud to be an American.
just my .02c worth of rant for now.
