I'm telling you man, if you guy's could nominate a moderate who's pro decrim and anti bullshit war I'd gladly come back to the fold.
Too many bat shit crazy people on the right for that to happen.
Political platform of da Super Freak...
1) Majority of international military bases overseas closed. Exceptions (for now)...
a) South Korea.... cause that crazy bastard to their north is a lunatic
b) Japan.... see South Korea
c) Iraq... because we started the war... we must see it through
d) Afghanistan... see Iraq
2) Flat tax with standard deduction replaces current tax code.... simple, fair, progressive... Done
3) Drill all economically viable oil and nat gas sites within the US and off its shores. Use royalties to help fund alt/clean energy R&D and begin shift to as much clean/alt energy as possible.
4) Nuclear power... begin building more plants
5) Infrastructure... um... this is the no brainer of job creation. But apparently the morons in DC are too blind to put much 'stimulus' into these endeavors. They would rather continue extending unemployment bene's.
6) Legalization of MJ... all non-violent MJ offenders in jail to be released... and hey... we have some infrastructure jobs available if interested.
7) Abolish governmental marriage licensing. Leave marriage to the religious institutions where it belongs. If we are going to continue providing bene's to couples.... then they go to ALL couples (non-related... sorry dixie)... gay or straight.
8) Massive educational reform... especially K-12, but also provide 'guidance' for state run higher education
9) Glass Steagall... back in place... prosecute those 'too valuable to lose' investment bankers who create all of these complex derivatives for no fucking reason and then ass fuck the country after being bailed out by the taxpayers for the mess they created. Then bitch slap those idiots in DC who think they are 'savvy businessmen'.
10) Hedge funds... regulate them like the rest of the investment world.
11) SEC... put uptick rule back in place and force disclosure of ALL short sale transactions... note... the disclosure can be done on a quarterly basis, but we need an accurate picture of who was shorting what and when.
12) New policy... If GDP growth is positive for a calendar year.... Congress and President lose Salaries for the year and are fined $100k each for every $1b they raise the national debt.
13) Term limits in place for Congress... 12 years max. We have seen too much corruption and ineptitude in both parties lifetime politicians. Time for some fresh blood.... because these bastards are just too fucking cozy with their respective PACs/special interest groups/corp donors.
Just some random thoughts...
