Where are my pants?
Well, I am sick of hearing about Bush and Kerry for the time being. I've had enough of Democrats and Republicans going at it. Each side blames the other for not having the right answers/solutions to our problems. At this point in time, I really don't know who to vote for and I'm sick of discussing it.
So, what I thought of is what YOU would do if you were elected as the President. Take the partisan politics out of it and just address each of the problems we face today, with your suggestions as to what steps YOU would take to fix them.
1) Iraq---How long will you commit the troops to be there? What is your long term goal for Iraq? How will you help the fledgling government? What other countries will you involve in helping to restore stability in Iraq? Involve the UN? Etc..
2) Foreign relations---How will you restore the international "image" of the U.S.? Which countries do you repair relations with? What is your stance on other countries with terrorist idealogies? Etc..
3) Economy/Unemployment----What will you do to put the economy on the upswing and create more jobs? Will you raise/lower taxes? Etc..
4) Homeland security/Civil rights/The Patriot Act----I lumped these together since they seem to go hand in hand. How will you protect Americans, while still maintaining their rights? What rights are they or aren't they entitled to? What measures do you take to increase security?
These are just the major issues I can think of, at the moment. There are SO many issues you could discuss and make decisions on. Feel free to add them as you wish. These are serious topics, but this should be fun, as well.
A CNN report the other day on whether or not the country is divided, influenced this post (that, and the fact that I'm really bored). I'm wondering if what people want to do is really so different. If you remove all the arguing over Bush/Kerry, etc., it might make it easier to really look at the issues facing us and the solutions you would present.
