I've never known a hippie to play knuckles.

I'd have to hear you speak about your policies first

Well, I'm going to regulate the markets much more rigorously, focusing on fraud. Decriminalize marijuana. Federally legalize gay marriage and abortion. Increase taxes for those making over 500,000 dollars. Withdraw troops from Afghanistan, and Iraq, and everywhere else, and have them focus on protecting the country, rather than screw with other countries. Improve relations with middle-east. Establish true government transparency by posting everything on the internet. Halt wiretapping. Seize aide to countries such as Pakistan and Israel. Tell Israel to shut the fuck up and give back some of the land they stole. Remove religion from the educational system. Start government agency that makes sure the media (Fox News) doesn't lie to the American people. Make it easier to start ISPs, allowing for less monopolization of the ISP market. Stop ISPs being able to spy on what internet users do. Allow for broader access to the internet for cheap. Investigate the telecommunications bubble. Make schools teach more current events to students. Make the study of foreign language optional, and invest in the education of English. Stricter guidelines for police officers and teachers.

Sounds pretty good to me, other than the optional 2nd language.  hocuspocus;

Regulate the markets - Not really a good idea. While the government should have some role in how the markets go, they should largely take a hands-off approach. Stop monopolies and fraud and such, but let the free market decide most things.

Decriminalize weed - Good.

Legalize gay marriage/abortion - Abortion is already legal, and I don't give a shit about gay marriage.

Increase taxes on the rich - Okay, but I don't really see the point seeing how the rich pay an overwhelming amount of taxes already. A large majority of Americans don't pay taxes or get most everything back in their refund.

Withdrawal of troops and keep out of the affairs of other nations - Good.

Improve relations with the Middle East - Good.

Truly transparent government - Isn't Obama doing this already?

Halt wiretapping - I think what you meant was illegal wiretapping, and there isn't a whole lot of that going on nowadays.

Stop aid to Israel and Pakistan - Good.

Tell off Israel - I don't care.

Remove religion from education - Religion doesn't play a prominent role in education anymore.

Agency for Fox News - Completely unnecessary, especially considering that all news agencies lie.

ISP stuff - Good.

Broader, cheaper Internet access - It's in the works.

Stricter police guidelines - Unnecessary.

Certainly you are ignorant to police brutality and corruption.

And we can't have the American public be lied to by the very people they choose to tell them the news.

And Obama isn't transparent enough.

And regulation is very important. What you describe is what Bush did, and that didn't work out so well. We need a government keeping an eye on the market, so the idiots don't resort to bank fraudâ,”like what caused this mess.

You also can't ignore things like the government pressuring banks to give bad loans to minorities who shouldn't have gotten them in the first place - that's part of what went wrong. There is plenty of blame to go around for everyone.

I'd consider voting for you depending on who the other candidate was.
