zero what do you propose doing? this should be a laugh

Then I could order the death squads :evil:...

Errr...

Actually the proposals I would push for would be:
1) national health care plan
2) ban on all abortions except in cases of rape and where the mother's life is in danger.
3) Lock raises in the minimum wage to increases in the inflation rate
4) push for the US to enter into the Kyoto protocol agreement

You know that type of evil stuff. In between using Muslims as target practice and stuff.

Hababi

Oh yeah and I'd push through a plan to emphasize public transportation in major cities and cut down on smog and car traffic.

And I'd dramatically change public housing programs to essentially eliminate section 8 tenements.

And crack down on welfare fraud, to cut at least 40% off that payroll. And disability claims, to cut say 20% off that.


zero go respond to my post in the muslim check line at airports thread


If you wanted me to respond to that why'd you make a whole new thread for me to concentrate on my presidential proposals :p


Additionally:
1) Ban all members of the PLO from stepping foot on American territory
2) Quickly try and execute all convicted Iraqi insurgents
3) Make rape a capital crime
4) Sign an executive order barring any state from redefining marriage
5) Change affirmative action laws to be based solely on economic situation, not race.

One out of five. Higher than the current real life proposals, I suppose.

What's your stance on drug and gun control issues?

Hababi
08-16-2006, 10:12 AM
Even more proposals

1) Set up an independent panel to update election districts after every census, thereby taking it out of the hands of congress and essentially eliminating gerrymandering.
2) Freeze all federally elected officials pay for 5 years, then lock increases to inflation.
3) Ban all private campaign donations and make all campaigns of state and federal office be publically funded.

Any enemy of Israel is also an enemy of America. The PLO also hates America, and that's why they burn American flags alongside Israel's at demonstrations.

What's your stance on drug and gun control issues?

Drugs: legalize marijuana for home use, particularly for medical use. Put nonviolent hard drug offenders in rehab, not jail.
Gun control: Have all guns be licensed, keep automatic assault weapons banned. I'm basically moderately pro gun.

What are we to do with Military spending Mr. President?


Prosecute Haliburton and force them to give back the $1 billion they overcharged America (and some additional $$, as punishment). Go after all the other companies that overcharged in similar fashion. Take the money and put it toward better pay for enlisted soldiers and better care for wounded ones, particularly national guard members.

Shift funding away from Cold War era programs toward more anti terrorism measures, particularly better intelligence gathering measures.

All in all, no drop in military funding, just more effective use of it.

well you never know, with the growing number of Muslim immigrants to america, how can you be sure? and if the majority feels a certain way, isn't it in the nature of democracy to take this into account and change accordingly?

Hababi
08-16-2006, 10:33 AM
well you never know, with the growing number of Muslim immigrants to america,


We can cut down on that :D

Here's the way: Cut down on the number of immigrants allowed from middle eastern countries, and in turn increase the number of Hispanic immigrants allowed in each year. Put all current illegal immigrants that are here and working on a path toward citizenship.


how can you be sure? and if the majority feels a certain way, isn't it in the nature of democracy to take this into account and change accordingly?

Not really, no. In a Republic, people elect representatives to govern for them. If we wanted the people themselves to govern, we'd have direct democracy. And we'd be dead.




Oh and another proposal: Have bilingual education in schools. Everyone should speak English, but also know Spanish.

Hababi
08-16-2006, 10:36 AM
Are you going to attack Iran?

No, not yet anyway. Pursue all possible non confrontational ways to get them to stop their nuclear program. If that doesn't work, build a coalition force to blockade their ports and force them, economically, to stop nuclear development.

Oh and if that doesn't work then bomb everything that looks like a nuke plant :p But the blockades and other such proposals would do the trick.




As for Iraq: Partition it into three different nations and tell Turkey to go screw themselves if they don't like the Kurds having a homeland. Each one has autonomy and they have some level of economic cooperation and oil revenue sharing.

I didn't say refuse, I just said adjust the levels :p I wouldn't ban folks from those nations from coming in, just lessen their levels to allow more Hispanic immigrants to come in, particularly since we have so many ones not on the books here already. You have to have some control on the number of immigrants that come to your country each year. Not one of those "negative population growth" ones, just a reasonable one.

But yeah, I want an influx of Catholics into the country :cool:

4) Sign an executive order barring any state from redefining marriage

Wouldn't that technically be unconstitutional because it's removing the power of the states to make this decision for themselves? And either way you also wouldn't be able to retroactively annul the marriages that have taken place in Massachussetts because the Constitution clearly states no ex post facto.

Any enemy of Israel is also an enemy of America.

But how do you morally justify Israel's tactics? Do you really want to send out the image that America plays favorites when it comes to reprehensible tactics and atrocities in a time of battle?

It still shows that they hate America along with Israel...

So the only way for anyone to come to our country is to kiss our ass? Doesn't that sound like separatism to you?

No but they can still be punished.

That sounds less like punishment and more like schoolyard pettiness.

Here's the way: Cut down on the number of immigrants allowed from middle eastern countries, and in turn increase the number of Hispanic immigrants allowed in each year. Put all current illegal immigrants that are here and working on a path toward citizenship.

Quite easily :p Israel wasn't aggressive enough against Hezbollah.

The first "couple" to get married openly proclaimed their "marriage" to be an open one. They had no intent on being faithful to one another, they just wanted to force people to approve of their deviancy.

It forced Catholic adoption agencies to give children to gays, and it makes the government legally say, "homosexuality is A ok and just as good as heterosexuality."

And while straight couples can be open too, it's much more common in deviant circles.



In other words, straight camp. Brazil tried that. It bombed. You're trying to argue with science, and science has facts on their side.

1) national health care plan
you've got to be ****ting me

2) ban on all abortions except in cases of rape and where the mother's life is in danger.
I don't see why rape justifies abortion if an accident doesn't

3) Lock raises in the minimum wage to increases in the inflation rate

why do you not want the unskilled to work

4) push for the US to enter into the Kyoto protocol agreement

I guess we should
I don't really care either way though

1) Set up an independent panel to update election districts after every census, thereby taking it out of the hands of congress and essentially eliminating gerrymandering.

I like taking any power away from congress
but I don't know if I want to give THAT power to the executive

2) Freeze all federally elected officials pay for 5 years, then lock increases to inflation.

that's a horrible idea
poorly paying public officials encourages bribery and naturally attracts less competent people

3) Ban all private campaign donations and make all campaigns of state and federal office be publically funded.
why the **** should I have to pay for campaign ads I hate watching?

Then by all means let Iran have nukes, please.

We're the only industrialized country that doesn't find it immoral to let the less fortunate die when they can't afford medicine. And several European countries, including France and Germany, have better health care than us.

Oh and we pay more than them for health care, in terms of public funding, too.

Because rape created the possibility without the mothers consent.


why do you not want the unskilled to work


It won't cause any drop in employment. The increases would be marginal enough to assure that.



I like taking any power away from congress

Well there'd have to be oversight on his selections.

:lol: Poorly paying? Do you realize how much they make? And they've been increasing their own wage quite regularly while not increasing the minimum wage.

So your elected officials serve you and not Haliburton.

Of course, I didn't expect anything else. PR Israeli campaign, huge Israeli propganda machines, and biased media? It would be a good thing even if one guy who said "No".

I think I've agreed with maybe two of his proposals. At least he's more decisive than most people in office, I guess. I'd still probably picket against him.

I'm not really concerned with those issues, though I disagree and agree slightly on some of them. There are some other ones you addressed that I think were necessary issues but your stances on them are just out of control -_-

Banning redefinition of marriage I obviously disagree with. I understand the motivation behind freezing elected official assets and making campaigns publically funded and agree with your stance, but those methods simply won't work the way you want them to. Ban on abortions doesn't really make a lot of sense.

if by better you mean more communist

Because rape created the possibility without the mothers consent.

Ok
why does that mean you get to kill jesus's precious little fetus
shouldn't she just suck it up and be thankful god made mr. rapist let her live?

No by definition it must
nt to give THAT power to the executive

sweet let's keep piling bureacrat on bureacrat


Poorly paying? Do you realize how much they make? And they've been increasing their own wage quite regularly while not increasing the minimum wage.

they make less than a mediocre corporate lawyer could make
and a fraction of a decent lobbyist
and whether they get to keep their job or not has nothing to do with their ability to perform
it's a horribly unattractive field to get into and we should stop being surprised at our horrible politicians

So your elected officials serve you and not Haliburton.
That's what elections are for
