You are running for president. Shall we have a presidential debate?

Asked by PhiNotPi (12681points) January 22nd, 2012

The year is 2012, and you have announced your candidacy for the upcoming US presidential election. In order to win the support of the masses, you must show that you have the best foreign policy, the best jobs plan, the best healthcare plan, and the best solution to the recession.

Welcome to the 2012 Fluther Presidential Debate. Here, candidates of all parties (and nationalities) announce their platforms and show why they will be the best president. People can then vote for who believe to be the best candidate.

The Press: ”@Username, what do you believe is best for the future of the United States? Why do you think that we should vote for you to be the new President?”

Rules:
Debating will be in the form of answers to this thread. Each poster should announce his platform and can then proceed to criticize the platforms of people above you and post rebuttals to any criticism.
You can vote by giving GA’s and/or announcing you vote in the form of an answer to this thread. You are both a candidate and a voter. You are allowed infinite votes, but you cannot vote for yourself.
Mudslinging and personal attacks are not allowed. You are to run a clean campaign. I urge the moderators to enforce this relatively strictly in order to maintain the legitimacy of this debate.

Read the Secular Humanist’s Manifesto and you’ll see a close outlook of my philosophy/beliefs.

@Blackberry Can you reproduce some of your beliefs here? It will make the debate a lot easier, especially since I don’t own that book.

A United health care bill that takes care of every single man, woman and child, every mentally handicapped person, anyone that has an ailment that needs care, attention, medicine and treatment will receive it. I will work to level the costs of medicine and promote the study of natural medicine and progressive health study like different types of massage, diet, acupuncture and help build an advocacy behind health. We will cut our military spending in half and work to secure our own borders instead of patrolling on others soil. We will focus more on education and science. I will urge voters to initiate a tax for public schools that fund sports, the arts and focuses on extended studies. With me as your leader I will work to move our money and efforts to our soil where the focus is needed. We together will once again focus on the young minds of America and help them grow and develop. I’d like to see a redevelopment of our education techniques and apply something that works for schools based on geographic locations. Voting for me is a message to this government that it is time for change and that this change needs to be swift and drastic. Voting for me is voting for the future of America. I will not stand up and accept monies from large companies to be persuaded on bills, I will work for the people and stand along side the people. This country needs it, we have been crying for it and are now being told that we can’t fight for it. It is time this government is scared of its people, not the people to be scared of its government. A vote for judochop is more than just a vote…It is a message that hits the faces of our government and the hearts of our soil.
politics are bullshit

@PhiNotPi I’m on my phone and that would take forever. But it is online by using a search engine, sorry.

If I am elected, my administration will facilitate the complete and utter annihilation of the so called “human race”.
Elect me for galactic prime minister, and I will ensure that planet “Earth” will be liberated from the “human” scum that has infested the surface for too long!

Mud slinging is such an important part of running for office, it doesn’t seem fair not to be able to do it here.

Don’t vote for @filmfann because he has a refrigerator full of babies that he laid eggs in and he doesn’t believe in Jesus.~

I refuse to lower myself to the kind of ignorant, heathen, low-rent mud-slinging that @Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard has embraced, which amazed me since he has long supported giving Viagra to child molesters recently released from prison. I will walk the high road, and allow him to take the low, where he will find himself in the company of other people who also eat aborted babies.

I’ll just play the Mitt Romney: And while these are bickering back and forth, I’m the one trying to get the country back on track.

@Blackberry LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

And what @filmfann fails to mention is that the viagra I supported giving to recently emancipated child molestors was actually laced with a deadly nerve toxin that would render them permanently immobile, if not outright dead. @filmfann has implied that he is okay with child molestors just staying in prison, whereas I have advocated for their extermination via deadly nerve toxin laced viagra. Do you really want a candidate who is soft on crime like @filmfann?

While @Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard wants to put child molesters to death, he says, by giving them Viagra laced with nerve toxins, that would hopefully work before they assault more children, I would rather keep them in prison, where they are being brutally raped by the rapists. They are regretting every moment of their lives there, as they should.
@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard wants them put out of their misery. You have to ask yourself: Do you? And while you consider that, remember that @Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard isn’t trying to save the children, but lower the competition.
