I went with the last option thingy, something about another forum...???

We need a Prez that will stick around, not one that drops verbal bombs and peels out. We've had enough of that these last years.

Wow, that's not just a platform. In Gov terms that's a skyscraper. I'll go with Judge for Speaker of the House for this one. Oh, and Chief Justice of SCOTUS, for obvious mnemonic reasons.

[Judge]

Whaddya mean "almost"?????

Thasss a damn good platform right there... is why I'd never get elected too.




I will also say that with 5 votes, I've taken the lead.

Hey Judge, what about the ATF? Didn't see them mentioned in there.

Anyway, I'd still vote for ya with that platform.

Curmudgeon-in-Chief: OEFM. His dim view of all things government combined with a slightly dour disposition will serve to make him a truly effective advisor in matters of "keepin' it real".

Obviously your comparing me to...

This genial, easygoing Dick Cheney is what many Washington insiders remember from his earlier years in the capital when he was a bright young White House aide and later a popular member of Congress. Today, though, the vice president is widely seen as Washington's curmudgeon in chief.

Heh....I hadn't really had him in mind when I posted, but it does kind of fit...

[one-eyed-fatman]

So whys the forum prick leading in votes? I thought most here love Cheney.

After much due consideration, I have decided to accept the position. Judge can be my VP and we will institute his policy points with the addition of death penalty sentences get one appeal within 90 days and if the sentence is upheld, execution will be carried out immediately.

Oh, you say the position wasn't offered to me.........well, that is just fine and dandy, I will accept it anyway and I'm starting tomorrow with the selected group of cabinet members as suggested by Dan. Dan to be my SOD.

I choose a career politician, that is also a lawyer and is also a millionaire.

Hmm, looks like that's the choice now and every other election...
