Title: Proposed platform for my (hypothetical) run for President
Post by: Bigun on April 22, 2023, 06:58:06 pm
The following is my proposed platform for my (hypothetical) run for President of the United States.

I'm a 75-year-old male Anglo-Saxon protestant Natural Born Citizen of the United States of America with at least eleven ancestors who came here on the Mayflower. I'm retired Vietnam veteran with no ties, financial or otherwise, to ANY foreign government and that has been so for an exceedingly long time.

Watching my country die is killing me so I've decided that I must run for the Presidency of the United States of America. My platform is exceedingly simple. If you choose to elect me to this office, I will dedicate myself to the following.


If the federal government is doing anything outside the boundaries prescribed for it in our constitution, I will do everything in my power to end those things and thus restore this Republic to that which our founders envisioned.

Thank you! I ask you for your support and your vote!

What do you think?

Comments or suggestions appreciated.

"Report of
2020 Platform & Resolutions Committee

Preamble
1. Affirming our belief in God, we still hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Throughout the world, people dare to dream of freedom and opportunity.

The Republican Party of Texas unequivocally defends that dream. We strive to preserve the freedom given to us by God, implemented by our Founding Fathers, and embodied in the Constitution. We recognize that the traditional family is the strength of our nation. It is our solemn duty to protect innocent life and develop responsible citizens. We understand that our economic success depends upon free market principles. If we fail to maintain our sovereignty, we risk losing the freedom to live these ideals."

Thanks @berdie and everyone else.

Of course, this is all academic, but I truly believe that someone could run on that basis and win if they were tough enough to not back down and had the ammo to blunt the media attacks that would surely come.

I'm having cataract surgery early Monday morning so I might be absent for a little while.

I had cataract surgery last year and never had any issues.  It was a piece of cake!
