the_rick87 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Someone should consider making an Independence Day scenario.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 ::gasp:: I've been wanting Bill Pullman for President for some time. I'd support this scenario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brak60 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 In 1996, when Mr. Pullman was hosting SNL, the opening sketch was a Presidential debate between Pullman's character from Independence Day and Sen. Bob Dole. Sadly, the SNL transcript site doesn't have the sketch transcribed, but I do remember that during the sketch Sen. Dole frequently referred to the millions of Americans that were killed by "space monsters" under President Whitmore's administration.

Hitsomebody Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yea Pullman could be like another Carter except instead of Iranians & oil crises he has to deal with poor progress in global reconstruction, sporadic alien skirmishes, and a rising deathtoll, and a totally destroyed economy.

MattyN Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 He'd win easy reelection after defeating the alien hordes...it's the aftermath that'll be interesting. It almost seems like it could turn into a World Scenario.......same divisions as Modern world, add in Alien Sympathizers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rick87 Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Maybe the war is over and he loses the way churchill did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitsomebody Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yes you could have like Pullman as w/e party he represented *since he was debating Bob Dole & SNL had a much better Clinton impersonator i'm gonna assume he's a Dem* and then a Republican with a totally opposite plan for the future of the world as the opposition. Then as 3rd parties make the president of some huge Star Trek fan club the Alien Sympathizers party candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyN Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Or, perhaps make up some new Party names...here's my idea: The United Party - Party formed by President Whitmore after the chaos that followed. Calling on all Americans to unite to rebuild their country and to help in the rebuilding of the world, the United Party has the following planks: Income tax only for wealthiest 10% Mandate limit to State's ability to increase sales taxes Revamp of Social Security - Reinstitute it exactly as FDR did Other New Deal style policies Open use of alien technology for scientific research Offer mass monetary assitance to international community Candidate: Pres - President Thomas J. Whitmore VP - Gen. William M. Grey Crusaders: David Levinson Constance Spano Gen. Steven Hiller Patricia Whitmore Miguel Casse The American Party - Party formed by former Secretary of State Albert Nimziki after his removal from office by President Whitmore - calls on Americans to unite as one people to rebuild their country internally, focusing inward before beginning to aid in the international community's attempt to rebuild. No restriction on State's right to command sales tax Isolationist - focus inward to rebuild first before going outward Tax breaks for entrepreneurs Revamp Social Security - completely privitized Flat income tax across board Increase military presence internationally in case of alien attacks Restrict scientific research of alien technology to Government officials Candidates: Pres - Fmr. Secretary of State Albert Nimziki VP - Captain Jimmy Wilder Crusaders: Alicia Nimziki Major Mitchell Dr. Frank Isaacs Jay Acovone John E. Bush If someone wanted to work on issues, I could work on candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
