Sure. I can't imagine I'd do any worse than the current president; in fact I'm pretty sure that I'd do a lot better than anyone else in the country, since my beliefs would coincide perfectly with my beliefs.
My campaign platform:
1. Base our foreign policy on protecting America. That means pulling out of Iraq as soon as possible. That also means taking whatever military action is necessary to eliminate (or at least delay) Iran's nuclear program.
2. Spend a massive amount of money on alternative forms of energy. The sooner we can wean ourselves of oil, the less we have to care about what crazy Muslims do. I'd also increase punitive gasoline taxes to set the proper economic climate for alternative fuels to thrive. We'll invest more in nuclear power, solar power, and hybrid and hydrogen-based automobiles.
3. Read my lips: NO NEW TAXES*. We should balance the budget through spending cuts, not higher taxes.
(* Except gasoline)
4. I promise to appoint strict constructionist judges to the Supreme Court. And by strict constructionists, I mean strict constructionists. Not conservative activists.
5. I promise to convert most federal education dollars from school-based funding to student-based funding. I would allow students to receive federal aid to attend any school that they and their parents want, whether public or private. This is the single most important thing we can do to improve our education system.
6. Reform our entitlement programs. Privatize or eliminate social security. Turn medicare over to the states to deal with as they wish.
7. I promise to keep church and state separate. This includes removing official phrases like "In God we trust" or "Under God." It includes NOT teaching the idiocy known as intelligent design in biology classes. I promise equal rights under the law for all people regardless of sexual orientation.
8. I promise to pardon every federal drug offender on my first day in office. I promise to end the war on drugs, which has done nothing but devastate our inner cities. I promise to sign any legislation to repeal all federal drug laws.
9. I promise to enact no new federal restrictions on firearms, while allowing states and communities to handle gun control as they wish.
10. I would base my policies on whatever the evidence shows will help our country the best, rather than religious zealotry, lobbyist bribes, or "conventional wisdom." I promise to pursue honest, open, good governance. The results may not always be satisfying in the short-term, but they'll be vital to the long-term health of our nation.
So yeah, vote for me.
