  1. I have two ideas that will help you win the white house easily.

    1) Promise Vets from Iraq a guarantee that they will have a job that pays a minimum of 1 1/2 times the minimum wage when they return for as long as you are president.

    2) Illegal immigration, we visit cities like Cabo San Lucas all the time, thus illegals should be allowed to visit the U.S. Many people are forced to live in their home state for 6 months a year. Require Mexicans to live in Mexico six months a year. Send them home with kit houses, require employers to provide transportation air or bus. Also employers should provide housing. Set the standard stay at 4 months.
  2. Nice, should be enough to put his campaign over the top.
  3. rp, you're such a fucking negative nancy.

    edit - rp =

  4. Negative Nancy= balling out of control like Mark Cuban, where can I sign up? Sorry if I mocked OP but his stratego for John Edwards was so close to the brink of ultra-retardo that I was afraid our planet might implode due to the retardedness of his post.
  5. I feel like the OP was trying to be sarcastic but I cant figure out how.
  6. I bet if Duncan Hunter promised every U.S. citizen a lifetime supply of creamsicles he would be elected no problem, true story.
  7. When Hiliary clinton gets elected.....John Edwards will be caught in the oval office giving Hiliary oral sex and probably giving bill head too
  8. to the OP, post less


  9. ^^^^^Kasilof
  10. Dems should start praying that Edwards gets the nod b/c if it's Clinton or Obama the Republicans win easy.
     
  11. How true that is...

    Vote Ron Paul
  12. Those that have no brain have nothing to debate so they some down to insults.

    For the one that says vote for someone who thinks will defeat the republicans. I think that is a horrible way to vote. You should pick the candidate you like of the contenders. They said the same thing to Kerry last time. He has the best chance against Bush.

  13. Point Number 1. We are a free market society.. How can the President guarantee any wage? He/She Cant..
  14. vote libertarian and you can sleep at night
  15. socialism FTW
  16. They can guarantee employment in the USA as they are guaranteeing employment in Iraq. I have never been to Iraq, but if I was a soldier there, in many ways life would be easier as long as the war is going on. You are secured employment. I have read that duing WWII was in many ways life was easier becasue the people knew what they were suppose to do.

    So what would they do if they could not find a job in the private sector? Work on projects that would provide a long-term benefit to the people of the United States.

    Who would pay for it? The top 20% who are not paying their fair share. Who would still be rich after paying more taxes. What is fair share for the top 20%, to pay 100% of the income tax.

  18. sketchy how u feal about the national id card and the rfid tracking system their thinking of putting in it?
  19. I remember being taught in history that our capitalist system was influenced by "laissez-faire" economics. What ever happened to that?

    "In the laissez-faire view, the state has no responsibility to engage in intervention to maintain a desired wealth distribution or to create a welfare state to protect people from poverty, instead relying on charity and the market system. Laissez-faire also embodies the notion that a government should not be in the business of granting privileges. As such, advocates of laissez-faire support the idea that the government should not create legal monopolies or use force to damage de facto monopolies. Supporters of laissez-faire also support the notion of free trade on the grounds that the state should not use protectionist measures, such as tariffs and subsidies, in order to curtail trade through national frontiers."

  22. and you are probably one to bitch about the rising national debt, the fact that people actually think like you scares me.

    Why do people need the government to save them?
  23. i think your ideas are silly/stupid, but that's beside the point. do you understand the role of the presidency in the slightest?

  24. Promising the vets employment is responsibility. There are many people making money off the war. What I am saying is rather than dump money on the war, to assure their jobs, that they can come home and be assured of the employment. The country would save a bundle if they did this. Because we are spending far more on the war than this. Furthermore the money would be spent within the United States.

    Yes, I am for a balanced budget, even doing this will cut the deficet. It will also add additional jobs and money in the economy because the money would be spent within the United States. Furthermore, unlike the Iraq war that provides no benefit, publics works and infrstructure projects would be built within the USA.

    The main reason why gas and food prices are high is the result of paying the bills with deficet . It weakens the dollar, thus commodities cost more. That is why we are having all these trikes, everybody needs more money to pay for things, then everybody gets moved to a higher bracket and income rises. The increase income never meets the increased inflation. Homes were 100K and gas was $1.30 a gallon when Clinton left office.

  25. Ok Kasilof multiple people have tried to explain this to you, but it just doesnt seem to register... The President doesnt have the authority to mandate things like a work program paying 1.5 times military wages for all returning vets. Its not that it wouldnt be great to help out vets coming home, I dont think youd find anyone who would be against that, its just a Presidential candidate cant come out and make that promise when it is not within the scope of the office to mandate such things. Got it now pleasssssssssssssssssssssssse?
  26. I made a mistake regarding the illegals. They should be allowed to arrive by car, bus, or plane as thier choice. However, they must leave by the same means. Thus, if they fail to show up for the return trip the transportation could get a massive fine. The employers should not be forced to provide the transportation.

    Same with housing. Although many employers provide housing for US workers to save trouble. When you go across country your employer usually pays the hotel room. Thus, employers should not be required to pay housing, but the jobs wage probably would have that worked in.

    All the present illegals in this country should be sent home, however they could re-enter the US for less than six months a year. Peferably the system should be set-up to keep famialies in Mexico so they can go to school, unless they can pay for schooling in the USA which must be private.

  27. 1 1/2 times the MINIMUM WAGE. It is not a mandate but a guarantee. VA Bill was a guarantee. It is a guarantee that if you can't find employment in the private sector that you will get employment via the government.

  28. logistically your 2nd suggestion is impossible.
  29. You are some kind of stupid sir. Myself and others have explained the facts to you, do with them what you will.
  30. Every bit of government spending is subjective. We have highly paid lawyers getting prisioners out of jail on the public dime. We have Blackwater, which should be bought out and made part of the military. It is not welfare they will be coming back to do useful work within the United States. Just with no fear or stress of finding a job. Basically you will have military-government job. Where there will never be an incentive to go to war to create a job for soldiers.

    Thus, you might have Army Corp of Bridge workers, thus in peace they are working on bridges, then when war starts they go into the military. When the war is over they go back to bridges.
