MEMBER DIARY

If Change_Jar_Conservative runs for President, then so am I.

Actually, I have nothing against Mr. Change Jar but after looking at his ideas, I just think I can do a better job as POTUS.

First thing I will do is hold a press conference announcing my candidacy in the middle of the DailyKos Netroots Convention.   You can’t get any worse than that so it would all be up hill from there.

At my first campaign stop I would announce really cools stuff like a few of my important picks.

V.P. would go to Congressman Steve King from Iowa if he would.
Michael Becker for Press Secretary if he would.
Donald Trump Ambassador to China if he would.
Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn for Secretary of State if she would.
Appoint Congressman Ron Paul to head up the Federal Reserve just to see what the heck happens.

Appoint my son Video Game Czar.

Appoint Jenny Beth Martin Health Care Czar.
Here’s my chronological agenda if elected,

Unplug the money printing equipment.

Demand Congress reduce the Debt Ceiling to 13 trillion to get the argument headed in the right direction.

Restrict the deliveries by the USPS to once per week.  Send all un-needed employees to the unemployment line or the Mexican border for a new assignment.

Begin building a wall at the Mexican border and dub it the great “Yes We Can Wall.”
Wall specs will include but are not be limited to the following:

•    Wall will be continuous from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean
•    Wall will be minimum 50 feet high on Southern side.
•    Wall will be minimum 60 feet high on Northern side.
•    Wall will be 50 feet thick.
•    Benchmark set at highest location along wall route between penetrations.
•    Wall will be level from end to end between penetrations.
•    Wall height will include a 10 foot high parapet on Southern side.
•    Parapet walls will be pointed on the Southern side.
•    Wall height will include a 20 foot high parapet on Northern side.
•    Parapet walls will be flat on the Northern side with a continuous catwalk.
•    Area between North and South Parapets will be flooded to form a moat.
•    Moat will be made suitable for swamp life and become an alligator habitat.
•    18 month time from start to finish.  Start today.
•    Large cash rewards for contractors who finish their section on time or ahead of time.
•    Daily liquidated damages for contractors failing to finish their section on time.
•    Wall will have penetrations only at the legitimate border crossing locations.

Pardon all U.S. citizens being audited by the IRS unless they are a government employee.  If the people at the IRS can’t figure out and agree amongst themselves what they are talking about, it is immoral for them to persecute others for not understanding what the IRS is talking about either.

I would assemble a panel of people who have been audited in the past to audit everyone who works for the IRS. If any violations are found, all assets are seized and sold. Current employees are audited first.  Quitters might get looked at later but maybe not so it would be wise to quit immediately.  Turnabout is fair play and all that stuff.

After those audits are completed, the Miranda Rights will be written across the top of every IRS Document printed.  If a criminal has the right to remain silent until proven guilty, so should the rest of us.

Rename the war on terror, the War on Terror.

Tell the United Nations to go unite elsewhere.  Get out.

Eliminate the Education Department.

Eliminate the Energy Department.

Gut the EPA.

Demand the name of the Farm Bill to be renamed the Corporate Welfare Bill.

Ban those squiggly light bulbs.

Remove all barriers to drilling for oil.

Declare the need for a “Constitutional Convention Amendment”.  Return power to the states by encouraging a Constitutional Amendment that corrects the problems with having a Constitutional Convention.

Change April Fool’s Day to April 15th.

I probably eliminated what must be about a half million federal employees so far, I’ll take a look at Day 2’s agenda after my nap.

    not to mention being granted dictatorial powers :)

    And you also need to fire the people holding every appointed position in the executive branch and find loyal conservatives to fill them. And from there purge the underlings of disloyal employees. That would be the fastest way to shrink the Federal government.

    And then you need to go after the foundations that serve as the progressive shadow government, and cut off the union dues money,

    And use your bully pulpit to promote CW’s Precinct Project.

    Only then might you have the room to put your program into effect.

    I’m wore out already and I ain’t even elected yet.

    I don’t think it is as hard as you make it out. Just listen to this guy:

    They are worse than those other federal agencies combined, and DHS comes in a close second. It’s SO frustrating that I not only do not see complaints directed at this specific agency, but many so-called “Republicans” in Congress are the first to defend it!

    Then of course you’ll have the rapists at the airports to deal with. I find it equally frustrating not a single potential Republican nominee will address this, even though it is one thing he or she could unilaterally change!

    I like most of your ideas as well …. I think we could make a good team … Trump to China … that would be funny.

    You recommended mine so it’s the least I can do for yours as well.

  • Jim Tomasik

    That would be funnier than “Ambassador Trump” going to China.

    Education, Commerce and Agriculture too. And I can guarantee the three secretariats won’t get in the way of me being an interesting Press Secretary.

    for cutting Bon Jovi and Ted Turner’s, etc… pointless subsidies. Michele Bachman’s too.

    Document dump with all White House and DOJ files.

    MSNBC banned from WH briefing room, NBC can cover for all nbc channels.
