So... I decided, after much thought, that I am running for president in 2016.
I have already made the announcement on my blog LINK<-- blog post

That being said, I am also writing a series of posts about it... and I ask you guys the following...

What would be the advantages of an Aspergian president?

Sounds better than a sociopath president(George W. Bush).

Go for it man!

I know this doesn't answer your question, but what third political party are you considering? I mean, neither of the two main political parties probably wouldn't take you seriously.

The aspergian ticket... and frankly... I have little expectation of a win, but It will shake things up...

As for the other parties... If the endorsed me, I would refuse it... they are who I am railing against...

legalization of victimless crimes

repeal of the laws making marijuana illegal (this was a racist policy from the getgo) - this includes pardons of all people involved in simple possession charges and government growing/regulation of pot growing

a simple flat tax rate across the board

gender equality

equal rights for homosexuals

imposing of term limits in our legislation branch

Pushing for jailing of corrupt politicians and bankers

I also have ideas for solving the homeless problem via the governmental pot farms

Cutting of legislative pensions and pay

Elimination of the subcontracting practices in government (i.e. employ the people who do the work directly at the same rates, but cut out the 5-10 people in between so no more $400 hammers)

I have more, but I am still typing up my platform statements and this was on the fly (sorry... editing and chatting at the same time.

Never having to face assassination while in office.

Do it.

Just be prepared to be dismissed. It will happen, especially since you're planning to run as a third party.

Not at all.

I am running on my own...

For the record, I don't do pot.

Thing is... we are wasting millions of dollars a year on pursuing victimless crimes. Prostitution, drug use and the like. We spend money on Police actions, jail time, coastal and border patrols and courts.

My platform outlines a plan that eliminates these expenditures while generating revenue.

I also have ideas for solving the homeless problem via the governmental pot farms (Refer to my comment about legalisation)

Cutting of legislative pensions and pay (I do believe they should get salaries but get rid of pensions, please. And make them have the same healthcare + insurance as the rest of us)

Elimination of the subcontracting practices in government (i.e. employ the people who do the work directly at the same rates, but cut out the 5-10 people in between so no more $400 hammers) (Not informed enough on this to have an opinion worth sharing)

I have more, but I am still typing up my platform statements and this was on the fly (sorry... editing and chatting at the same time.

That said, I probably wouldn't vote for you unless I felt comfortable that my chosen realistic (no offence - I'm sure you understand) candidate would win without my vote.

I wish you the best of luck though sir!

I would not ask anyone to vote for me due to sharing a mental disorder. I do appreciate that you wished me luck, though.
