Answer 4

i would bring all our troops home for those 8 years and use them to guard our borders while a wall is being built. i'd also have them help round up all the current illegals and kick them out. i'd cut off all economic and political ties with any country from the middle east and focus our attention on becoming energy independent. i'd withdraw the US from the UN and strengthen ties with a handful of powerful allies. I'd put americas needs in front of all the 3rd world countries that we are currently helping. i'd start another public works program to improve everything that is outdated in our country and to help with unemployment. i'd make sure that every school recieved equal federal AND state funding, and then end affirmative action. i'd do more, but if i were able to be a dictor for 8 years the country would sure be a lot better.

Answer 6

I would find a way to get out of Iraq that honors our people, our military, pass legislation for alternative fuel sources and encourage the Iraqi people to take power. Next, I would start creating a national health care program. Then, I would start refining social security...retirement benefits. Thirdly, I would find ways to tell special interest groups to kiss my butt if it is for anti-abortion. Then I would go to gun control and say thank goodness our good citizens are armed. Further, I would raise minimum wage and tell corporations that if they have a problem with that then they are just not AMERICAN. (our quality of life is what separates from the third world countries). Oh gee...the list goes on...and on.

Answer 7

1. Throw all able bodied people off of welfare.
2. Implement the Fair Tax.
3. Unleash Troops on terrorists in Iraq.
4. Shoot many missiles at North Korea
5. Throw the UN out of NY. Give them 60 days to leave.
6. Pull the US out of the UN
7. Ban all reporters from the battle field.
8. Arrest and try for treason anyone who leaked classified stories and the people who reported on them.
9. Make abortion legal only when the mother will die, she will be permanently and irreversibly physically injured, maybe on rape and incest.
10. Open ANWAR and all other areas where oil is on the US soil.
11. Offer any legal American child private school vouchers.
12. Make it mandatory for all voters to show a government issued ID.
13. Eliminate Social Security for anyone under 40. Take 2/3 of what they pay now and put into personally owned private accounts. Take the other 1/3 and pay off what we owe. The Fair Tax would change how this is counted.
14. Eliminate Medicare, Medicaid, etc.
15. Mandate all workers carry some level of personal health and disability insurance. They must pay for it. Not the government nor employers
16. Eliminate eminent domain use for private development.
17. Impeach any judge that legislates from the bench. This includes 5 on the Supreme Court, any judge that voted for gay marriage in MA, VT, NJ.
18. Privatize all national parks. This would greatly reduce forest fires that plague us.
19. Make all government business to be in English
20. Lock any child molester who molests a prepubescent child LIFE and no parole. Kidnap and murder a child and YOU DIE. 21.Use the death penalty more.
22. End all Affirmative Action permanently.
23. Permanently end the thought of ever signing on to the Kyoto treaty. This is anti-American
24. Mandate teaching that GLOBAL WARMING IS A FRAUD. It is a theory, not a fact.
25. Mandate use of Energy Star rated windows nationwide. Make the standards tougher. We waste energy we do not need to.
26. Make Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and France enemies of our state.
27. Blow up any country's capital that threatens us with violence.
28. Ban all legal unions outside of marriage between 1 man and 1 woman. Since the Fair Tax would be implemented, there would be no death tax. Allow any American the right to make anyone they want to be next of kin. Allow people to designate who they want to have the rights as family to visit them in the hospital.
29. Remove all bans on guns. Allow people to carry a gun on their person with a permit and specific training.
30. End public housing.
31. Remove the ban on prayer in schools. It is a free speech issue and the ban directly contradicts with the 1st Amendment.

33. Eliminate the 50 plus blend requirements for gas. Make 1 national standard.
34. Build a wall on the Mexican border.
35. Arrest anyone who knowingly or negligently hires illegals. Take away their jobs and they are gone.
36. Remove all minimum wage laws. Let the markets determine the wages. If you do not like the job, QUIT.


NOTE: MOST OF WHAT I STAND FOR IS THE BASIS FOR CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. IF THEY ACTUALLY DID SOME OF THIS, THEY WOULD STILL BE IN POWER. PANDERING TO LIBERALS IS WHAT GOT THEM KICKED OUT. WHEN THE COUNTRY VIEWS REPUBLICANS AS THE BIG GOVERNMENT PARTY BY 11% MORE THAN DEMOCRATS, CONSERVATIVES WALK. UNFORTUNATELY, WE WALKED INTO LIBERAL HELL. IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS, YOU WILL.
