Instead of doing like so many unrealistic individuals do and immediately declaring a political candidacy, why doesn't someone post a platform and invite people to endorse it, with the promise that the poster will run for office with a sufficient show of support? Some people may already be doing this, but since they wouldn't already be candidates, they've escaped my notice so far.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-50861149248343807002008-09-05T09:01:00.000-04:002008-09-05T09:01:00.000-04:00All that stuff, from more choices in schools for p...All that stuff, from more choices in schools for parents (which means government vouchers for private schools) to more people taking jobs in the military, public education, etc, is bankrolled by taxes. If he's going to cut taxes, how's he going to afford to pay for all of that?<BR/><BR/>How about instead:<BR/>(1) Eliminate private schools, make all education public.<BR/><BR/>(2) Cut the defense spending by elimination R&D on WMDs for a couple of decades.<BR/><BR/>(3) Instead of threatening to get rid of "bad teachers", how about eliminationg fat, bloated administrative staffs?<BR/><BR/>(4) Instead of further ruining the environment with more oil wells, how about nationalizing the oil industry until we can ween ourselves off of oil entirely?<BR/><BR/>McCain is nothing more than four more years of failed Republican policies. Four more years of war, four more years of fear mongering. Four more years of assholes trying to force their superstitious beliefs down the throats of those of us too intelligent to buy into that crap.
