May be right now- Warren Buffet? He certainly would not be corrupted by money and he knows everything about finances and the world economy...
Magi and VicUser ....go back and read the question. lol No pres. candidates.
Your votes have been cancelled. ha ha ha
Ok, If it had to be some one not from the forum and not a dog, I guess it would be Hillary Clinton.
Snoopy !!!!!!!!!, but if it has to be a real person, Huckaby
Maybe "Oprah" she has a lot of pull.....ya know?......sheez.....I can't even answer my own question.......
OK, Cassy can be my running mate! She says, "You lead, I'll follow," and likes to observe (good for a VP as we all know.) She might also get me the animal lover votes, especially PETA. And she's very easy on the eyes, and sometimes looks can make or break a campaign.
Now if anything were to happen to me in my Presidency, we would have to get the "dog-whisperer" into the White House too, so we may need to do an FBI background check on him to make sure he's not some leftist conspirator before he is put into the position of interpretting President Cassy's public and private speaches. Lol
Being Forum Mascot would be good for getting her introduced into public service too!
Cassy....my vote!
(Sailing here chuckling at Nauty) You can call me annoying, or wordy, or just about anything at all, just don't call me late for dinner! Loosened up a bit have I? (Sailing sprays herself with a bottle of laundry starch to stiffen her up a bit.) You know, as a Presidential candidate I have my image to consider here Nauty!!! lol
Seriously, though, OK maybe not Soooooo seriously, when I first found this forum, I was coming off a CT Tramadol withdrawal and life was just not so hot, if ya know what I mean!
If I was always stiff and a walking dictionary, my scuba students or fellow instructors would have drowned my arse long ago!!! LOL (still chuckling)
I like Joe Lieberman. But, I based on the latest email about Bill Cosby's ideas, perhaps him instead! LOL!!!
Hey i threw out a name there!!!!
McCain is in Lakeville MN today and my brother is part of making sure the place doesnt go up in flames!!!! He is the fire marshall.
Jesus Christ for President....wha??? Wow doesn't seem like too many of you have an answer.......must be a really dumb quesion or a really good one......Come On people "think" I'm still thinking, cause i would naturally say Clinton, Bill or HIllary....I dont' think I am quite ready for the coming of Christ.....just yet. I still have too much repenting to do.
SAILING.......Great Post. You always crack me up. You have loosened up a lot in your posts and you don't irritate me anymore.....well, not so much anyway.....lol.
I don't know if I'd vote for you, but you pitch a good pitch............
nauty............
I think Cassy deserves Forum Mascot too so she has my vote!!!!
I second that vote for Cassy as Forum Mascot!!!!
Look under Burrpatch photos for Cassy.
I'm afraid I don't know who Cassy is....
And I really should go to bed, even though you and your sister are so hilarious!
So good night (morning? It's almost 5am here.....)
I am gonna drag some proverbial butt this morning if I don't get a couple hours of shut-eye!
I have just put my vote in for Cassy as Forum Mascot. Can we get a vote from the floor?
Ok, Sailing sounds like a good choice, but I'd like to hear Lovepat's and Sterling's campaign speeches now. Then I will weigh all the issues and make my choice.
Oh, and did I mention that I never sleep? (here it is 4:15am and I still haven't gone to bed!) That will certainly help my presidency by preventing me from having to deal with jet lag on the many Presidential junkets and State meetings abroad! AND I had a total hysterectomy, so I never have a period with severe mood swings anymore. That should make my constituents sleep well at night. LOL
That's one write-in vote for me! wooohooo!
Yes, Yes .......I vote for Sailing ! Sounds like you have what it takes ! I think I would also nominate Lovepat.........she knows her stuff too.
Waht are you doing up so late Mary? Or are you just up early in Florida?
Anyway, who would I vote for?????? My first reaction would be ME! Only because "I am not a crook," not prone to corruption, follow both politics and the financial markets in the world, am not too horrible of a public speaker, I'm genuine, I think my kids could handle being White House kids, I know which utensils to use at a State Dinner (so the White House Protocol Advisor wouldn't have to worry so much,) I'm well traveled and have a wide base of information about different cultures, I speak more than one language, I wouldn't throw up at a Japanese State dinner while in Japan, I, too, know how to throw a good, Texas-style BBQ, I like helicopters and planes, I hate war and would try to prevent them or stop them, I understand the average, middle class struggle while having grown up straddling the tracks to the side of the uber-wealthy, Republican side of my family, I never "inhaled" (lol,) I can say alot without saying anything at all when necessary, I went to an Ivy league school (well it had ivy growing all over the buildings anyway,) I actually went to a military college (so I understand the military mentality,) I believe that we should simply put Valium in our public water sources (although I would make valium-free water available to anyone who wants or needs it,) I would make education,childcare, and healthcare an appropriate priority on my platform, and I, like millions of people in other cultures around the world, would mandate the afternoon siesta (nap-time.)
Wadaya think? Anyone ready to vote for me????
Very good question ! I'm gonna have to think this one over.
Hmmm ok ..The one whom I would choose is a natural born leader. He loves the children and when he picks them up, holds them and kisses them, it is genuine.
He is fair and true and before he makes a decision he gives it great thought and reflection. He's even been known to go off by himself and pray on it before hand.
He's for Human and Animal rights and believes in anyone, who is willing to believe in him or herself. He's a Washington outsider and though he doesn't like to argue, has never lost an argument. He's a proponent of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He believes that all men should be free and even has a plan, where everyone can achieve it. He's an avid fisherman and family man who believes in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman.
He is not a greedy man and will work for room and board. He's a great proponent for the infirm, poor, and weak of spirit and has given much of his time to them. He will open his door to whoever knocks and although he attends various churches you are more likely to find him visiting the sick in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, food kitchens and prisons. He's a skilled tradesman who believes that a worker should be paid his due. He has a great gift for speech and when he does speak his audience listens to his wisdom in stunned silence. He has a medical background and his healing touch is legendary. He truly loves his fellow man and is not only willing to lay down his life for them, but has!! I could go on but I think that you get the Idea. he is the perfect son and servant of the one true and living God, Jesus Christ !! .... That's who I would choose !!
Tim Walz. He is a state rep from Minnesota and a very down to earth guy who actually listens to the people and mingles with them. He has had town meetings even after he was elected to talk with the commoners!!!!
