I have Decided To Go Into Politics

July 25th, 2008 . by TexasFred

I’ve Decided To Go Into Politics

After a careful review of the options for the up-coming election:

(a) A man who can’t account for his money and wants ‘change you can believe in’ (but never says what the change is).
(b) A Republican that doesn’t seem to have Republican values.

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.

HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) Press 1 for English is immediately banned. English is the official language. Speak it or wait at the border until you can.

(2) We will immediately go into a two-year isolationist posture to straighten out the country’s attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the ‘Wal-Mart’ policy: ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’

(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.

(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (Six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(4a) Northbound aliens will be considered *fair game*, fire at will.

(5) Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin’ in, you ain’t getting’ nuttin’ out. Neither the president nor any other politician will be able to touch it.

(6) Welfare – Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week, and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.

(7) Professional Athletes –Steroids – The FIRST time you check positive you will be banned for life.

(8) Crime – We will adopt the Turkish method of punishment: The first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There will be no more life sentences — if you are convicted of a Capitol Offense, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim, gun, knife, strangulation, etc. Executions will be carried out poste haste!

(9) One export will be allowed – Wheat — The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it’s a worthy cause

(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress — right after *The Lords Prayer*.

(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes, (whoever wrote this may be sorry, I’m not, Fred) but a vote for me will get you better than what you have and better than what you’re gonna get.

Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November!

Southern Sass on Crime » Going into politics

Ya know, this is being posted as a joke, but all told, that’s a good platform, and I really could support the candidate that ran on it!

  1. [...] Southern Sass running for office! re-stolen from Texas Fred [...]

    It might be a joke, but y’know, if YOU ran for office, I’d kick in some support! :) And I do wish you would!

    Odds are though, you wouldn’t get the illegal Hispanic vote. :?

  3. comment number 3 by: TexasFred

    F*ck the Hispanic vote, ALL of the bean eating bastards…

    Probably wouldn’t get the Dickless Intellectual vote either, and that’s cool too, REAL, America loving patriots, that’s the people I care about, not a bunch of wetback assholes that are destroying America or the RINO bastards that support them…

  4. comment number 4 by: Kate

    I’m pretty sure you could win, given the current crock, er, crop, they’ve been offering us. Heh.

    We need tough, and I think you fit that bill with NO problems. :)

  5. comment number 5 by: Rgroland

    Got my vote by God. I am retired military and would love the tower watch!!!!! Problem is the platform makes way to much sense!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. comment number 6 by: Mark Krauss

    good platform! It illustrates the glaring difference between a REAL platform and whatever it is that these two idjits are running on. McCain is working so hard to lose it isn’t funny, or maybe it’s too funny…I dunno…. His campaign is in 100% reactive mode, and that’s not going to impress anybody. if he would just take a point or two of the above he could run away with it. It’s hard to say which is the dumber candidate. Obama has made so many gaffes McCain could exploit, but doesn’t, and he makes no effort to push issues conservatives could get behind. I can’t understand this guy, why is he even running? just to piss money away?

  7. comment number 7 by: Kate

    When it comes to the safety and security of our nation, polite doesn’t cut it. McCain, himself, is fawning all over B. Hussein, and it makes me want to rip his lips off!

  8. comment number 8 by: cary

    Hmmm – sounds like the platform I was extending a few months ago…

    How about it, Fred? Wanna go in as co-Presidents?

    Could you imagine the outrage the first time we held a press conference and the reporters saw what was hangin’ off the hips of both of us? (unless you prefer a shoulder rig…)

  9. comment number 9 by: Kate

    THAT mental image is priceless! Heh.

  10. comment number 10 by: TexasFred

    Cary, thumb break belt holster, 4, count em, 4 high capacity XD-45 mags loaded with 230gr Golden Sabers…

    And our protection detail would be awesome… :P

  11. comment number 11 by: Wicked Step Mother

    If you run for President, I could be First Lady

  12. comment number 12 by: Wicked Step Mother

    Bushwack could be V. Pres

  13. comment number 13 by: CBOGib

    Ya got my vote

  14. comment number 14 by: CBOGib

    Thank you

  15. comment number 15 by: ablur

    What amazes me is any one of us could write a platform that makes more sense then the two who are running.

    We need a real conservative platform and a real conservative. I wish you could be it Fred. I wish a straight talking, God fearing, financially savvy conservative candidate would actually show up and take the Republican convention by storm.
    They don’t have to accept McCain you know. We need real choices!

  16. comment number 16 by: Tish

    Okay, so what name do I write in, because I could definitely vote for this candidate.

    Amen to this post!

    Glad your site is back up Fred, or was that just me?

  17. comment number 17 by: TexasFred

    No Tish, we’re having some serious difficulties… Trying to move to another server and it’s giving our techie guru a bad time…

    Testing at the old camp grounds, testing

    It’ll be an honor to do my tour on the tower.

  20. comment number 20 by: Phred

    You got my vote.
    It`s not that far to the border for me. Let me know when my shift is.

  21. comment number 21 by: nunoftheabove

    I only have ONE problem with your platform–I am going to have to change my id because I have FINALLY found a candidate I can vote for.

    Thanks:)
