My Campaign Announcement

[Siete]

imagine that, someone wants to be Speaker.

 

[Pop23]

Whereas there is a vacancy for Speaker of the House;

Whereas any American citizen over the 25 can be elected by the House of Representatives as Speaker of the House;

Whereas the US Congress has an 11 percent approval rating, making it obvious any member selected from within their ranks will be incompetent, idiotic, and insurrectionary;

Whereas no one else more qualified has stepped forward to petition the American people and the federal Legislature for the position of Speaker of the House;

I hereby humbly submit my name into consideration as the next Speaker of the House of Representative of these United States.

As Speaker, I will focus on the following three priorities:

a) Tax reform. The US House of Representatives has become an American Politboro, with a turnover rate of only two to four percent each election. Much of this is due to campaign contributions from special interests to preserve the $1.2 trillion in annual tax expenditures which are bankrupting our nation. I will focus on legislation to eliminate all of these tax expenditures, thus removing the incentive to bribe our House, and simultaneously producing a massive revenue surplus which can be put toward lowering tax rates for everyone, and paying down the debt.

b) Entitlement reform. Rather than waste time allowing dozens of repeals of the ACA to make it to the House floor for a vote, I will focus on legislation to raise the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare to 70, indexed to 9 percent of the population going forward. We are living decades longer than our hard working ancestors who enacted these programs, we should be working longer than they did.

c) Regulatory reform. Rather than a lot of regulations, we need good regulations. As with tax expenditures, special interests also make campaign contributions to ensure some regulations stay in place which do nothing to protect the public, but only serve to inhibit competition. I will shepherd legislation to eliminate these anti-free enterprise regulations. We also have a problem with some industries being improperly or under-regulated as a result of special interest campaign contributions. This, too, will be ended on my watch.


Dear Representatives of the American People, I hope you will give me all due serious consideration for the esteemed office of Speaker of the House.

Thank you.

Screw all the above, want my vote? Buy me beer!

 

[Vigilante]

You make no provisions for PACS, & for self financed candidates, and since we are still able to contribute as a citizen, as has happened before thousand of EMPLOYEES of special interest can donate, and NO ONE IN CONGRESS would take that opportunity away from the America people!

By taking away tax expenditures, I take away the incentives to donate.

By taking away regulations intended to inhibit competition, I take away the incentives to donate.

I am a huge believer in the right of association. My changes would not impinge on that right in any way. But it would remove the warped uses to which that right has been put.

I would also de-centralize government. I would strip out federal preemptions from federal legislation. And let me tell you something. Republicans are just as guilty of this practice as Democrats.

The more you concentrate power at the top, the easier it is to capture. So again, the incentive to donate is taken away.

Starting to sound like a conservative...better watch that, it's catching!

I've been a conservative since the womb.

And your pick for president?

John Kasich for President. Marco Rubio for Vice.

• MARCO RUBIO WHIFFS, RAISES JUST $6 MILLION IN 3RD QUARTER, HALF HIS PREVIOUS TOTAL
  Breitbart ^ | 10/8/15 | MIKE FLYNN
  Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) raised just $6 million in the third Quarter, according to reports of a briefing for donors. The amount is far below expectations for Rubio, who has been rising in many recent polls. The haul is about half what Rubio raised in the second quarter. His campaign cautioned, however, that Rubio has $11 million in the bank, despite the disappointing amount raised. Even this, however, may signal trouble. It suggests that Rubio spent most of the money he raised over the Summer.

I'd say Rubio and I have even chances of getting elected to the offices for which we are running.

Two questions.

1) Are you a serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives?

2) What brand of beer do you like? Careful, don't name an import or you will lose re-election. I suggest a robust locally brewed artisan beer, with an ABV above 10% so you look manly.

See? I'm a natural born Speaker!

[Arizona Willie]

So tell us, Vigilante, what good is the Debt Ceiling when they vote to extend it every year?

It is a farce and just provides a way for ultra right wingers who hate the U.S. government to try to shut it down every year by refusing to raise it --- when they know all along that eventually they WILL raise it or they won't be able to giver the " campaign contributors " their just rewards in tax cuts and subsidies to their favorite corporations who gave them " campaign contributions ".

The debt ceiling serves no actual purpose as far as reining in spending.

========

Another Socialist idea, let there be NO LIMIT on what money we can produce.... Weimer Republic!

First, I am a Republican. Second, the House can elect anyone they wish as long as that person is a US citizen over the age of 25.

I'd say elect someone from the Tea Party ... if you could find someone from the Tea Party.

Right, you're a Republican who thinks most Republicans are racist.

And as for your second point, in no way did I contradict that, you pulled it out of your ass like most of what you say. All I said was you have to be a Republican to be elected by Republicans, no where did I say you have to be in the House. It's odd how you feel the need to constantly just flat out make up shit like that, no where, no how did I say that you had to be in the House
