    1. Destroy the FDA and every other wasteful department
    2. Withdraw from the UN
    3. Withdraw from any "treaties" that bypass our Constitution
    4. Get out of other countries obviously
    5. Send a letter to the head of every state government saying "congratulations, you've been promoted!"
    6. Make it clear we don't f*ck around, I'd do this by capturing bin Laden and turning him inside out, and letting his corpse rot in public display.
    7. Threaten any future terrorists that come here what we will do to them.
    8. Start promoting peace..


    good thread btw

    1. Close our borders
    2. Stop fooling with UN sanctions and get down to business with Iran
    3. Defend our Nation at all costs
    4. Eliminate the IRS and enact the fairtax
    5. Get congress to start doing their jobs (meaning veto pork and force money for the troops)
    6. Let the CIA do their job
    7. Eliminate FEMA and tell the states to start doing their jobs
    8. Shape up govt education
    9. Keep Gitmo open and deny trials to enemy combatants (neither the Geneva convention or the US constitution apply to them)
    10. Start educating the public about Islamic Fascism and how we can prevent it from destroying the world. (Notice I did not say Islam in general...there are some nice muslims out there that are peaceful and practice the true backgrounds of the religion)

    1. I'd shut down the empire and open the republic back up for business.
    2. I'd reinstate diplomacy in our foreign policy.
    3. I'd call out all the liars, cheats, cowards, and idiots in congress and I would point the finger at their corporate lobbies.
    4. I would give the States more control over themselves.
    5. I would find out what really happened in Roswell :D
    6. I'd hire a ton of doubles to make public appearances for me since all of the above would probably get me killed.
    7. I would eliminate the income tax.
    8. I would buy back every piece of american soil we have sold off to foreign companies.
    9. I would make english the national language and make it mandatory for citizenship.
    10. I'd bring the boys back home.

    Choose Ron Paul as my running mate. Resign immediately, leaving the reigns to someone with proper experience to fix our country.

    Ralph Nader is a socialist. He wants bigger government telling you what you can and cannot buy, what companies can and cannot do.

    Also, Nader fashions himself as an advocate of consumer affairs, he really wouldn't offer much as the VP in the White House.

    I like Chuck Hagel as a military advisor, and Mark Sanford as a good successor.
