Your political platform

[Imran Siddiqui]

Increases in State's Power. And you have an experienced politician that has toiled in the state legislature becoming Senator, rather than a Corzine who has $30 million to spend on the general election.

[DinoDoc]

I'd definately be voting against Imran.

[Giancarlo]

You vote for my party, dinodoc?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I wouldn't want you voting for me either, Dino .

[Caesar the Great]

Not sure how I'd classify myself.

- Reduction of bureaucracy in government.
- Reform of the justice system, make it harder for rich people to get away with crimes.
- Three strike rule for most crimes.
- Welfare reform, make it harder for people to get money.
- Increase federal government's power to deal with Unions.
- Education reform, similar to the French system.
- Graduated income taxes, eliminate taxes completely for lower income families.
- Increase spending on border patrols along Mexican border.
- Deny long term medical care, schooling etc for ALL illegal immigrants.
- Expansion of UN powers to include military force.
- Lower tarriffs to promote international trade.
- Legalization of marijuana and other "soft" drugs, lower drinking age to 21.
- Strongly limit 2nd amendment rights, for example you can only own a firearm if you are a Police Officer, soldier or a part of a state sponsored militia.
- Stricter environmental controls, especially on cars (SUVs).
- Decrease military spending, increase intelligence spending, as well as reorganization of INS, FBI, CIA etc.
- Moderate support of Israel, promote creation of Palestinian state.

Good, because I fart in the general direction of most of your Foreign Affairs platform.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You said a bad word...............


Ming is on the warpath about the auto-censor, watch out!


Of course, he's at a bar with GP and Rah right now.......

[Imran Siddiqui]

I didn't go around the autocensor. The autocensor just doesn't pick up that word, I guess.

[Bosh]

And tack on just about everything from Imran's list onto my list, (except the bits about the senate and teacher unions) this is getting scary
Oh and get rid of the death penalty while we're at it and reform the judicial system to give Public Defenders at least something vaguely resembling the resources of DAs and make prisons maybe actually have the people that come out of them just maybe less ****ed-up then when they went in (should be possible with drug legalization eliminating over-crowding).

American Nationalist Fascist Workers Party...What you think?

Aaaah, the urban strategy, which was the Nazi party's biggest propaganda failure, you'd do better targetting school teachers, other assorted whiny lower-middle class, and red necks like the Nazis did

National Guard should get strengthened

Yes, the danger of the US being invaded makes this indispensible!

Not, "well now that you are in prison, we are going to teach you a skill."

Better than any alternative thing to do with them in prison.

And you have an experienced politician that has toiled in the state legislature becoming Senator, rather than a Corzine who has $30 million to spend on the general election.

This didn't really happen when the legislatures elected senators either, you got so many millionaries getting elected to the senate it got called the "millionarie's club" IIRC.

Not sure how I'd classify myself.

Sort of like a European Liberal...

[Tuberski]

It did on me in the A/C forum.

I think the "auto-censor" is some guy named Bill.

Well, at least we have the capitalist/anarchist difference (or do we ).

Does that mean you want the Bush tax cut too .

What do you think it is now?

I'd rather have the legislature choose among themselves for the Senators. I'd think you'd get better people than you would now.

Also, as a more fanciful idea, remember that post I had like a year or two back? One dealing with expanding Congress? I still like that. For those that don't know, I suggested expanding the House to 2000 seats! So that the people would be more represented. The House members would be closer to each of the people they representated at home because of the smaller districts.

Bill3000?

[Ramo]

15. Substancially increase funding of our education system. Raise our education standards, particularly on the standradized tests.

This is getting a little long... I'll stop here...
