Soxy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 So, we've got a serious discussion about your views on big issues. But if you had only one (slightly silly) platform on which to run, what would it be? Inspiration taken from the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, who, if elected will make rent go down, "because they say so." So, what's your one issue?

Rex Kickass Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I would be a proud Bee. My party platform would be to replace "The Star Spangled Banner" with Bea Arthur's rendition of "Oh Why-o, why-o Did I Ever Leave Ohio?" as our national anthem.

southsider2k5 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I would have to run on the platform of "At least I understand Econ 101". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 If elected I would require every citizen to visit, via non motorized means, a State or National Park twice a year and must identify ten birds or animals by sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Protection of the American Indian. Aside from possibly slavery, there has been no other event in American history where we did so much wrong as our wiping out of a civilization. It would be nice if we treated what was left of it with at least some basic level or human respect. Seeing as they are currently being taken "care" of by the most corrupt agency in the federal government (BIA), and the majority of Indians on reservations are living in squalor... I think we can do a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 My platform would be the "Honest Grist" platform and it would demand that all American brewers immediately and henceforth abandon the use of adjunct cereal grains that make most American beers thin and cr@ppy, instead using only malted barley and wheat as the chief fermentables in their products. The resulting beer would be soooo damn good the whole nation will fall into a drunken stupor and I will quietly consolidate extraordinary powers within the person of the Executive. With these powers I will order an immediate end to all reality TV shows, mandate that "Take me Out to the Ballgame" be the only song sung during the 7th Inning Stretch, and push hard for the passage of a blanket resolution granting a suspension of marital fidelity obligations on the part of the person of the Executive in any instances specifically involving Kate Beckinsale. I would then make sure Kate Beckinsale had heard about all the good beer and maybe bring her up a couple of cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see someone put some thought into this and truly wishes to help all of mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
