Wanna Know Who Is Running For U.S. President?

[tekla]

I like Zinn.  He takes the other approach, and you need both (if not more) to get a real understanding.

[kate durcal]

My vote goes to Charlie Sheen, he seems the most rational of at all

Kate D

[tekla]

He's winning, what more do you need?

[justmeinoz]

For some reason he seems to be popular with a percentage of the female electorate, and will probably get the bartender's vote!

Maybe he can found the Party!Party! Party! Party.

[tekla]

Sorry Charlie, seems like the Republicans already sent in the clowns.

[justmeinoz]

Too late! President Obama already pointed out he thought Donald Trump was running as a joke! (rather than an independent!!)
  Maybe you should open a US branch of the Sex Party, Tekla?

Well our slogan: We're too busy screwing each other to screw you too, should get about 30% of the vote by this point.

Giovanni Gambino.  Hey the Mob runs things anyway.  Let's make it official. 

Seriously, I am voting for the current president.  No one else seems to curry my vote.

I think that number is climbing every day.

Ronald Regan works for me. Julie maybe you should run, most anyone would do a better job than obama or old war hungry crazy bush

After watching the latest "Real Time With Bill Maher", I'm leaning toward Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson.  He made a whole lot of common sense.  At one point he said he had looked at background of all the Senators & Congressmen now in office and almost all had a law background.  Then he asked, what about businessmen who know how to run companies?  What about engineers?  And mentioned others who would be more concerned with making things work and creating real jobs than about law.

So, elect business men to handle running the country, economists to handle the finances, engineers to fix the infrastructure, scientists to improve the future, educators to focus on learning and innovators to open up new avenues.  The election criteria being on making the country function and prosper to the benefit of the people.  And if there's a point of law that needs clarification, they can hire a lawyer.

I'm in.

There is no money. The USA has borrowed so much it is unbelievable. If not for cash cow China buying our t-bills/bonds USA would already be under.  Big old trees fall harded than little trees. USA is one big old tree with zip for roots.

[tekla]

Here is the secret.  There never was money.  It's all made up.  We just agree to it, that's all.

[Julie Marie]

China is a cash cow because we buy all their stuff.  We print money, buy stuff from outside the US, our creditors agree we have AAA credit and we get the best interest rates from them, the people we send our money to. 

Too big to fail?  For right now, yes.

Anyone president elected in the next three or four elections will have their hands full.  Maybe we should hand it over to the Tea Party.  They seem to have all the answers.

[tekla]

China is a cash cow because they manufacture a lot of ->-bleeped-<-, and we buy all their stuff.

[SandraJane]

No bailout?

[justmeinoz]

Judging by the events of the last couple of weeks, maybe the question should be rephrased as : "Who would want to be President of the USA?" It's beginning to sound like second prize in a raffle.

Karen.

I miss Pat Paulsen 

[SandraJane]

Pat Paulsen, better than most of the Republican candidates. But would you want Rick Perry for President? Bush 43 screwed this state (Texas) and this country up! Want another Republican Texan to do even more damage? Perry held his little rally in Houston Saturday telling Evangelicals "he's one of them", pretty scary!

[Tammy Hope]

For the record, there are 21 Democrats, 26 Independents, 3 Libertarians and a whopping 86 Republicans, a bit over 50% of the total number of candidates.

As for me, I'm kinda likin' Michelle Bachmann.  She's wacky, flaky and says the darnedest things.

"It is a brand new, billion-dollar high speed train that is going to go from Disneyland up to Las Vegas. ... Harry Reid, the senator from Nevada, was behind this measure, and it makes us wonder, is he more interested in making sure kids start gambling at younger ages?" –Michelle Bachmann on the House Floor

And if we could get Fred Karger to be her VP, we'd have quite a dashing pair!  The country would be hoping Bachmann's good looks could cure Karger of his homosexuality.  The White House Soaps!

to be fair though, most of the known names on that list among Republicans are not, in fact, actually running (Chris Christe for instance)

the list appears to be an effort to make sure they name everyone who has not expressively stated they are not running (and then some - because Christie keeps saying he''s not running)

As for me, I'd been in the Gary Johnson camp but i have to admit that    
HRM Caesar St Augustine De Buonaparte certainly sounds tempting...
