View Full Version : nehemiah's (stolen) law of politics

Of the presidential candidates, some currently hold office (Senate: Dodd, Obama, Clinton, Biden; House: Kucinich; Governor: Richardson) and some don't (Edwards, Gravel ).

For the ones who actually hold office I've been much more interested in what they do as officeholders than what they do as candidates. They all say they're great leaders, but some of them currently have the office, stature, and especially for Clinton and Obama, the hefty soapbox from which they can actually ... lead. They have the power to take something which is an issue right now and run with it, instead of thinking about all the wonderfully yummy things they'll do... if they win... 15 months from now.

I want a politician that either does nothing or starts taking laws and agencies off of the books.

But for God's sake. Don't give us someone that will "help" us.

Please. I beg thee.

You were a big Raygun fan, correct?

Yeah, sure does.

I need a tissue. A sock would suffice.

Do me a favor. Don't say that to me ever again, OK?

I do not need help, ipso facto, no one should get help.

Typing ipso facto three times on a message board will cause your testicles to fall off. Just a warning.



(I know I'm safe, because after this post I will never type ipso facto again)

If I was not lazy (Or if I did nto have work to do), I would search your posts to see if you typed it previously.
