1) Respect international, the Genava COnventions and the UN Charter. I will not start any unprovojked war, and only self-defense wars I will get into. I will respect the uN Charter outlawing wars not voted on by the Security council(Like Iraq).
2) Respect the US Constitution and end all suspending of habaes corpus, extraordinary rendition, torture, waterboarding, illegal wiretapping, PATRIOT ACT, etc. Restore civil liberties to Americans.
3) Reduce oil consumption and fossil fuel emissions by 25% over the next 20 years. I will develop clean, renewable alternative sources of energy, fuel cell- vehicles and fight global warming and peak oil.
4) Have government funded health care, education, housing, environmental protection, housing, organic farming. And I will end all tax breaks, corporate welfare, offshore tax shelters.
5) And legalize a lot of these victimless crimes, legalize and tax: drugs, prostitution, gambling, abortion, gay rights, etc.

I like it all. I would vote for you, but there would still need to be certain restrictions of let's say drug use....not victimless....does hurt people. Also, prostitution isn't victimless either...people do get hurt....I agree though that decriminalizing some of these things, the violence would also go down due to it's not a threat to them anymore.

No, because you contradict yourself.



You say you would respect the constitution, but take over at least 60% of tha private sector.



By placing the Geneva convention and the UN charter over the constitution, you would be impeached and shot for treason. Our nation sovreinty is above every thing else, which goes against the UN charter.



Reducing fossil fuel consumption by 25% over 20 years is joke, how about 50% in 10 years?



There is no such thing as a "victimless crime", someone always gets hurt. And why did you include "gay rights" as a crime?



So, no, I would not vote for you.

Yeah if your not talking bullshite. Prostitution and drugs besides Marijuana for medical uses are serious issues and should not in my opinion be legalized. People are sick of talk, that's why this election is a really big deal. Bush was basically a warmonger in my perspective and I think right now the house issues, school care (illiteracy) and having a "green" future is of great importance and whoever can promise and deliver that are indeed a great change from past presidents.

No. I'd do anything to stop you.



The UN is useless and cannot be trusted.



The Constitution doesn't apply to foreign terrorists (And somehow I doubt you'd respect my 2nd Amendment anyway).



Also, we need oil. Its so essential to our economy (fuel, plastics, etc.) that we cannot simply stop using it.



Government healthcare? No thank you, I don't like taxes.



"Victimless crime"? Thats just a load of crap. Drugs ruin whole communities. Personally, I think we should all load up and kill every single drug dealer we can find. Mandatory death penalty for sale of drugs.



Abortion? No. I prefer accountability over murdering a baby.



Gay rights? I'm fine with civil unions, but marriage = 1 man + 1 woman.

First time I didn't see the "Annyone from Tokio Hotel" and I was like "WTH where are they??" and then I voted for the someone else one. Lol then went back and found them and got confused on why Taylor Lautner. Wow I am stupid. Oh well, at least Tokio Hotel is WINNING!! Poll: I'd have to say Bill, he's the first guy that's ever made me breathe weird, and I'm not just saying that either lol.

No. You have totally ignored the economy and a lot of what you are proposing would bankrupt the country. Great promises, but too expensive to pay for. Much like the democrat party thinking.

No because politicians have a hard time remembering what they said and if you made it that far then you would only say what we wanted to hear and when you get in office forget about the little people.

drugs are not a victimless crime.

So, you want people to be free to take drugs and then you want to force those who don't take drugs to pay for their methodone?



Freedom only for the irresponsible?



Makes no sense.



Freedom for everyone makes sense.



Vote Libertarian.
