In any presidental election (past, present, future, foreign, or domestic), what quality appeals to you most in a leader? Again, respond to this in any context you see fit.

Personally, I've pretty much doomed myself to always vote for the losing candidate. I will always vote for any candidate who will raise taxes in the name of reducing the national debt, provided his plan for doing so isn't absolutely absurd. Sadly, no one has ever won the presidency while promising to raise taxes. The average voter just doesn't want to hear that. Still, I'm strongly in favor of sincere voting, so I'll cast my vote for any canditate willing to tackle the national debt, a problem which has gone ignored for far too long.

I tend to go for that sly "come hither" look.

I love a tight little butt, and those bedroom eyes.

Large genitals. I like a President who is packin' heat.

A want a guy that would remove all gun limitations, make a flat tax rate, withdraw us from the UN, make torture a legal means of the extraction of information, take over and occupy any country that attacks us for any reason, drill the oil in Alaska, buy as little oil from the Arabs as possible, support alternative fuels, anti-gay anything, pro-choice, anti-communism or socialism, and be VERY strict on illegal immigration.

But what about his package?

Like that Algore cover of Rolling Stone where they airbrushed a nicer package on him.

Moron, torture isn't banned because it is bad, torture is banned because it tends to give bad information...

Whoa. I didn't know that. That's kind of... cool. Nice to know that technology has advanced far enough to make Al Gore look like he has testicles. Hehehe.

Yes, and would he be able to throw out the first pitch and actually make it over the plate? Or how about the ability to catch a football without looking like a girly man?

Shiny teeth and a psychotic glint in his eye that scares the rest of the world. Regan was nice.

It was funny cause they made him look like Johnny Wadd, when in reality he handed his garbage over to Tipper when they got married.

Torture is a wonderful way of extracting useful information, no one can hold out forever. Once you crack their emotional defences, bingo!

And how do you make sure the information is correct?

Even the Inquisition realised that torture didn't work, since the victim always told the torturer what they wanted to here.

Exactly, it's more fun seeing them squirm for hours then breaking their will. It is useless but fun to torture people who don't know anything. It's amazing what they will tell you.

Why do you think Bush thought there were WMD in Iraq?

why dont u move to america then

I'd hate to live in Endoscopia's world.

The standards in what I look for in a president have dropped over the past four years. I think we should start with someone who can formulate a sentence and move up from there.

Whoo! Proper Grammar! We are aiming high, aren't we? :eek:

I look for high wisdom. High intelligence is nice, but you can have a high IQ and still have no common sense.

Oh, and flat tax rates, reduced gun legislation, and free trade.

I'll join the masses who, when asked what they want in a president, have replied "Not Bush."

Anybody know where I can find a shirt or bumper sticker that has a nice logo reading "Not Bush 2004"?

I want a President that if the press asks him/her/it a question, he/she/it says "Go f*** yourself!"

That'd be so badass...

If a president said "If you vote for me, I'll do absolutly NOTHING", would you vote for him?

No tax for anything, no funding for anything, for his whole term. I think it'd be a cool experiment.

What do you look for in a president?
Heart. A president needs to have a lot of heart to deal with all the problems that this country presents. Oh, and lungs. Also a spleen and a pancreas. Intestines would be nice.

Intestines are definitely more important than a spleen, and also more important than a pancreas. I think kidneys should be on the list too.

why dont u move to america then

I live in America the greatest country on earth.

A president who keeps church and state separate for a change would be ideal. Somebody who doesn’t give tax breaks to major corporations who move jobs overseas for cheap labor. One who makes it possible for the average Joe to attend college. Who doesn’t fill us with fears to keep us ignorant of the big picture. I want somebody who doesn’t send away our sons, daughters, relatives and close friends to fight and die in an unjust war. A president who will create a public healthcare system, give more money for social programs, put research into alternative energy and fuels, is pro choice, supports gay rights and legalizes marijuana.

This is a letter to the editor that I wrote awhile back that got published, I got a few hate mails from both conservatives and liberals, so i know it must of done what I wanted it to do lol. It's funny how both sides will always say that the other's freedom really isnt a freedom,only the ones that my side enjoys are the real freedoms lol. Is there anyone out there with an open mind lol without a preconcieved biased opinion


Who is against freedom? Thats what I decide my vote upon.

I start out by looking at the republicans cause Im a conservative leaning guy.
I like to conserve our values and our earth as well. I can not help but notice
an immediate breach of faith in freedom and our free will. They want to control your body in the forms of abortion, a death with dignity and medical marijuana. They exploit god and freedom in the process.

Then I look at the Democrats. Once again an immediate red flag. They want to control tools and objects that Americans utilize daily. It takes shape as a suv, a gun, the word god and your money. They exploit the environment, freedom and god in the process.

Is it really a choice of the lesser of two evils, or is there a viable third party? I cant help but notice how restricted both sides are becoming with freedom.

It appears to boil down to both sides saying that because I wouldn't exercise this freedom with my own free will, then you shall not even have the right to excercise a decision with yours. The only viable compromise on this is states rights, otherwise it has to go against freedom. This ensures that the only time freedom fails will be at the discretion of that community and not at the expense of this great nation.

What I look for in a President: internal organs, blood, muscle, bones...

:p

My president would be, in essence, a bad***. A charasmatic one, but pretty much just that. Sure, able to take advice, happy to deal with other people, but doesn't take a lot of garbage from anyone or anything. If the newspapers don't like him or her, he or she tells them if they don't like it, to vote against them in the next election and not whine like wussies.

If a nation gives us heat, just give them a wild smile and a menacing glare with the words "We have 3,600 of these hidden in silos in the mid-west. Please state your answer in the form of a question."

When terrorism starts, be very polite to those who have no part in terrorism, but are yet Muslim at home here in the USA. Procceed to say how incredibly un-Islamic it is to kill innocents.

A willingness to screw up. We all screw up, but when people catch them on it, to just amit a screw up and a willingness to try something else.

I want someone down to earth, real. Somewhat intelligent. Ok, not Harvard material, but a person with common sense. Raising taxes will not solve all problems. Typically, cutting funds to stupid stuff will fix things. What is the definition of stupid stuff? What they feel like and they got voted in for.

I would gladly throw my support behind John Edwards or Colin Powell if they wanted to run for president. Both are charismatic, decisive and don't take much garbage.

I don't care what the president does, I want them to follow through, be honest from campaign promises and demand respect. You want to bash on this person? He or she will make you feel like an utter loser for doing it.

Left or right, the system would work if the buggers actually did something instead of stand imobile in the middle. Maybe I wouldn't be happy, but things would get done for once.
