johnny_raoul Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I know several have been done already, but, quite frankly, most, while lots of fun, don't look too realistic. with the promise of Primaries being added, I'm thinking of adding numerous canidates for each of the Major Parties: Democrats: Gov. Bill Richardson, NM Gov. Ed Rendell, PA Sen. Bill Nelson, FL Sen. Hilary Clinton, NY ex-Sen. John Edwards, NC Sen. Mary Landrieu, LA Gov. Tom Vilsack, IA Gov. Jennifer Granholm, MI Gov. Mark Warner, VA Gov. Janet Napolitano, AZ Republicans: Sen. John McCain, AZ Gov. Jeb Bush, FL Gov. Bob Taft, OH Gov. Mitt Romney, MA Gov. George Pataki, NY Gov. Mark Sanford, SC ex-Mayor Rudy Guliani, NYC so far maybe in an alternative world Gov. Arnold Schwartznegger CA - ANTHONY! his name won't fit! (could happen, the Con. Amd. is already being considered by the Judiciary Committee) Sen. Mel Martinez, FL also thinking of adding a Progressive Party, something very Centrist, w/ a ex-Sen. like Bob Kerrey and an ex-Gov. like Chistine Todd Whitman as the nominees face it, the Greens are washed-up, and the Libertarians are never-weres no offense, but the Constitution Party is on par with the Birthday and Surprise Parties also thinking of doing two or three different scenerios: one where the 2nd Bush term was triumphant; one where it was disasterous; and one where little has changed ideas for issues folks? let me know. thanks johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I personally doubt Kerry would run again, his name deserves to be in there. How do you not have Dean or Gore???? And the following people make for good VP's, but not Presidential material: Sen. Mary Landrieu, LA Gov. Tom Vilsack, IA Gov. Jennifer Granholm, MI Gov. Mark Warner, VA Gov. Janet Napolitano, AZ Gov. Bill Richardson, NM Gov. Ed Rendell, PA Sen. Bill Nelson, FL On the Republican Side, the names will be - Jeb Bush Bill Frist (How in the universe do you NOT have this guy's name in there???) John McCain Alan Keyes The rest are either VP's or shouldn't be in there at all. Taft?? He's highly unpopular in Ohio, didn't you notice how Bush NEVER had him at any of his rallies or mentioned him?? Romney is way too liberal and MA is a rock solid blue state so that would be pointless. Sanford? Why does the GOP need a white man from South Carolina? that's pointless. Giuliani and Pataki are good VP material, but too liberal for the top spot. What about Condoleezza Rice?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe vs. Wade Should be still be Law. Abortion should be a legal option; adoption should be encouraged. No legal abortions. Abortionists should face the Death Penalty. @ //Minority Preferences Preferences are needed to ensure equal access and oppourtunity. Preferences should be granted where discrimination is proven. Preferences should be left up to individual States. Preferences deter average Americans from seeking advancement. Preferences are unconstitutional intrusions into the Law. @ //Balanced Budget A Balanced Budget Amendment is needed. Defecit spending needs to be curtailed quickly. Balance lowering the deficit with other priorities. Military spending is more important that the defecit. Defecit spending is good for the long-term economy. @ //Business Tax Significantly increase business taxation. Increase business taxation. Businesses are taxed the right amount. Reduce business taxation. Significantly reduce business taxation. @ //Moral Values Government should not impose the values of its leaders on the People! Values need to be balanced with Freedom. Moral Values are important, but Freedom is more important. Values reflect the moral fibre of our nation and should be enforced. The Bible should supercede the Constitution in all cases. @ //Ecology The environment must be our first national priority. Good environmental policies are good economic policies. Balance environmental policies with sound economic policies. Economic policies must come before environmental policies. The environment is fine, we don't need to worry about it. @ //Education Testing has gone too far. Increase Liberal Arts and Fine Arts Funding! Testing is fine, as long as the tests are fair and socially balanced. Testing should continue with more rigorous standards. Testing needs to go further. More tests will ensure failing schools are closed. @ //Outsourcing Outsourcing is a national disgrace and must be stopped. Protect jobs in America with tax incentives to business. Jobs lost will be replaced by better jobs. Outsourcing is good for American business! We need to encourage US business to move more jobs overseas. @ //Criminal Sentencing All current criminal sentences need to be judicially reviewed. People are going to prison for too long for minor crimes. Sentences are fine as they are. We need stiffer sentencing guidelines. The Death Penalty is underused. @ //China We need to establish strong trade and diplomatic relations. Ties to China should be stronger without sacrificing US interests. China should be treated as a partner in the Global Market. China is a threat to long-term US economic interests. We should invade China before they grow too strong. @ //Civil Liberties We must stop the roll=back of our freedoms before it is too late. The Judiciary needs to slow down in its restrictions on Civil Liberties. Certain liberties must be restricted given the current enviornment. There are too many liberties as it is. The Bill of Rights needs to be reconsidered. @ //Homeland Security America will be safe if we deal diplomatically with the Terrorists. Less military force should be used and more negotiation. Pre-emptive strikes on Terrorist countries have proven effective. Only tougher, more militant, actions will ensure our safety. We must attack all terrorists wherever they may be with maximum force. @ //Military Intervention Invading nations without United Nations aprroval is the wrong road to Peace. Only for humanitarian causes or if we are attacked. Only if we are attacked. Only when our national interests or security are threatened. We can and should use our military might to further our own interests. @ //Personal Tax Increase income tax for everyone. Increase income tax for the rich. Reduce income tax for lower- and middle-class tax brackets. Reduce income tax across the board. Reduce income tax for the rich. @ //Public Health Care We need a completely public health care system. Universal health care, whether public or private. Public health care benefits for the poor and elderly, the rest private. Only a few public health care benefits. The health care system should be completely private. @ //Renewable Energy Renewable energy all the way! We should focus on renewable energy sources. Renewable and non-renewable energy must be equally researched. Coal and oil are our main concerns right now. We don't need to worry about renewable energy sources. @ //Social Security Private savings accounts have been a fiscal disaster! Private accounts need to be given more time. Social Security seems fine as it is. More private investment. Abolish govenment funding altoghether. @ //International Relations Our ties to the rest of the World are vital to our Nation. We should not sacrifice our interests to further international ties. International relations are important to our nation and economy. We should only further ties when it is to our national advantage.

JoSpiv Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Actually No. Balanced Budgets historically are a Conservative view.

Now with Bush Spending out of control and insane tax cuts have made Balanced Budget more of a Democratic policy. But the policy remains conservative to my knowledge.

johnny_raoul Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Okay, the first 2008 "Red Dawn" scenerio is nearly done.

Bill Nelson, FL, Gov. Bill Richardson, NM, Gov. Ed Rendell, PA, Gov. Mark Warner, VA, Gov. Gary Locke, WA, and, of course, Sen.

Mark Stanford, SC, Gov. Mitt Romney, MA, Condi Rice, and the ringer, Gov. Ah-nald Schwarznegger (Schwar'ger) just in case, never know?) LAST CHANCE TO BITCH BEFORE I SEND IT IN 12PM EST TONIGHT! (course you can add whomever you want to later) *btw, I don't believe Jeb's statement today that he is not going to run for Prez in '08 at all at all* Electorally it looks like 1972 Nixon v. McGovern all over again but it is actually closer than the map suggests. A well plotted electoral strategy and a Democrat can win (I just won with my gal Landrieu over Jeb Bush by a gnat's wing - only way to win w/ McGovern too unless you play w/ Dynamism, which I don't). Greens and Reformers are present but, pretty much irrelevant. Next scenerio will be 2008 "Blue Moon" which will look alot more like 1968 probably and, yes, Obama will be in that one! cheers!
