run for office i'll vote for you, my issue is politicians have given all politicians the rep of being liars. my grandfather once told me our country was ran by dogs, loyal hard working best friend dogs, now this country is ran by rats, scavenging any meal they can find and the more they eat the bigger they get, they bigger they get the more they eat!
there is a reason i have not voted once since i was 18, i have never found a politician i'm willing to vote for.

No, that was some Bob Feldner guy or something like that.
I admit…if I were mayor…I'd probably try to use my power to chase tail…but not in the creepy way that guy did it. That guy was one of the examples of when a politician gets so full of themselves they think they are above reproach. A guy like me…a Catholic…the guilt alone keeps us from going THAT far.
And hey…you wanna talk about mayors…ask Mudpuppy about the great Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit. THEREs a mayor that got in office and pushed the limts!!
Good point, lol. We have enough corruption. He'd take it to a whole new level and after he violated them he'd loft them like he does a bowling ball down the lanes.
lol - Kwame Claus. He (was) the man. What a racket. Detroit's been in a downward spiral long before Kwame. Coleman made sure of that. I think you will enjoy this Aslan - American Greed did an episode on the hip hop mayor.

Good episode,,, just watched it.... in reality, ALL governments no matter what shape or form, go back to the ancient Greeks, and Romans,,,, Corruption has always been a HUGE PART OF ALL GOVERMENTAL systems. SAD, but absolutely TRUE!
Aslan,,,, would YOU be the FIRST to PROVE ICEMAN wrong?????

I saw it. They also did another video on him. And yes, it started a LONG time before Kwame with Mayor Young. Essentially, Colman Young envisioned a segregated city where the whites are forced out and the blacks run the city. The original "vision" was to sort of start a truly African American city where African Americans aren't held back in any way by the effects of the white population.
Unfortunately, it was a paramount disaster...because as whites were pushed out, businesses followed. That left the city with a very segregated (highest in the country 70%) population of predominantly poor african Americans and very poor whites (couldn't afford to move). Thus, if an African American person DID become successful...they simply moved out of Detroit to the white suburbs where life was better. So the experiment failed. While cities like New York and Chicago moved their poorer ranks to ghettos and slums on the outskirts of the city...and lured the wealthy into the downtown area...Detroit did the opposite and has resulted in a city that is predominantly a ghost town despite once being the 4th largest city in the Country.
And the biggest impediment to change, is the citizens that are left have decided they'd rather live in a poor, horrible environment than "give up" their control. I "gave up" on Detroit when they elected Kwame to a 2nd term. Their general reasoning was not only that they were going to elect him despite of him being a thug...but they were electing him BECAUSE HE WAS a thug. And that mindset is just everything that is wrong with that city and what has led it to be an absolute embarassment for the State and country.
Absolutely!
Here's an example of what you'd get from me as a mayor or President.
Lets say I want to change a law avout advertising. From now on, "Car companies have to tell you the AVERAGE price per month of that car based on the AVERAGE consumer (credit history, rebates, etc...) with ZERO DOWN THAT has to be the price in big numbers on the commercial. And they have to use the COMBINED MPG in the advertisement.
So currently an ad that reads "2014 Ford Mustang for $249/month with 31mpg highway!!" would read "2014 Ford Mustang for $599/month with a combined MPG of 22mpg!"
Now, lets say the advertising and car lobby comes to me and says, "Come on with this..." and they give me 100 reasons they don't like the rule and "remind" me that they have 1 million dollars they'd like to donate to my campaign because they overall like my policies...but they just really need me to change my mind on this issue.
I would simply, go before the press corps the next day, and list by name...ALL of the people and the companies they represent that felt the American people could be bought for 1 million dollars. And if Senators/Congressmen are involved in the lobbying, I will include the list of them, their pictures, and the amount of money it costs said industry to "buy" their vote and influence.
Once you do that a few times, lobbyists lose all power to influence in a corrupt fashion...and Senators become much more "gunshy" about accepting donations (bribes) for their influence. I'd also re-introduce legislation to publically finance elections...get the money out of the process. The supreme court has been against such legislation...but as long as politicians can be bought...they will be.
rant over...elect ME! i only need about 150,000 signatures and 250 million dollars to run against Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz in 2 years!! We can have a bowlingboards party in the 2-lane alley in the White House!!
