People often ask me why I am running for President as an Independent and not as a Republican or a Democrat. They often claim that I do not have a chance because I do not belong to either party.
Some reasons why I am not a Republican:
- War: Republicans love to declare war on everybody (as long as their children don’t have to fight.) I believe war should be limited to the most extreme circumstances. (Like Canada.) They also believe that a soldier should be a soldier 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I believe a soldier should only have to be a soldier from 9AM to 5PM from Monday through Friday. They should have weekends and holidays off like everybody else.
- Surveillance: Republicans believe that we should be spying on anybody who can be considered a national threat. I think that surveillance equipment should only be used on the hottest women and only in showers and bedrooms.
Some reasons why I am not a Democrat:
- Bailouts: Democrats believe that we should bailout existing companies who are in trouble as a way to create jobs. I believe these are the last companies to go to for job creation. I have stated in the past that bailouts are better suited to go to companies who are either financially sound or no longer exist.
- Health Care: Democrats believe that government should play a role by helping pay for health care for people who can’t afford it. I believe the way to make health care affordable is by cutting costs. I am a proponent of prevention. The only role government should play in health care is planting apple trees everywhere. An apple a day will keep the doctor away, thus saving on trips to the doctor.
The vision for America that Democrats and Republicans have is too different for me to join either party. I believe that I am not the only person who feels this way towards both parties. This is why I am running as an Independent.












The War on “War”
One of the biggest arguments we Americans have is whether we should be fighting wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Canada. Proponents of war say it’s the only way we can stop the enemy. Opponents of war say that the proponents only want war because they lack the speaking skills needed for diplomacy. While this explains why Republicans are for war, it doesn’t explain why Democrats are against war.
I am finding that my position on war is not very popular with Star Trek fans. Doug Kamakachi is a candidate from California running as an independent with the intent of implementing the Democratic Party platform. He claims that Democrats can’t seem to implement their platform so he will do it for them.
Doug doesn’t like my position on war because he is a Trekkie and doesn’t want to see William Shatner deported. He also saved money on this Caribbean getaway by booking his cruise on priceline.com. He wants to end all wars (including the wars Americans aren’t involved in) and remove bases from every country except Switzerland. He claims that having a base in Switzerland will help the Swiss end their neutrality and become an ally with the United States. I think it is because Doug gets turned on when Heidi is yodeling.
