ExtremeSkins elections? (EDIT: Lets make a real election)

[SteveFromYellowstone]

If you had to choose a person from ES to be POTUS, who would you choose and why?


EDIT: Lets actually make this an election, primaries and everything. Ideas welcome.

[SkinsOrlando]

BigMike - he'd be the first woman president, it'd make history:D

[Tastes Like Chicken]

SkinsOrlando, he'd have all the statutory laws repealed :silly:


EDIT: and Russian immigration laws too :D

[SkinsOrlando]

TLC- Special rights given to the testicularly handicapped.:D

[bschurm]

SHF - This country needs a fiscally responsible, intelligent person to run this country. Plus, I don't think he would let his religious views get in the way of his decisions. :thumbsup:

[Mark The Homer]

Skinsfan1311 - he'd make Cuban cigars legal. :)

[Koolblue13]

SHF - This country needs a fiscally responsible, intelligent person to run this country. Plus, I don't think he would let his religious views get in the way of his decisions. :thumbsup:

I'd second SHF. Although I think he would better off as my Veep.

I'd chose twa and then ***** about his war mongering, but other than that he would be a good choice.

(I think Truman might be Rudy G)

[OrangeSkin]

MSF/Sarge

No, but seriously...I'd like to see a Larry/Baculus ticket.

[Sarge]

Since I've beaten Chommie in the last two elections, I'm up for pulling a Roosevelt and going for a third term:)

[Burgold]

Rince... legalizing marijuana and prostitution.

[The Brave Little Toaster Oven]

H_H - He'd look out for the white guys :silly:

[zoony]

Henry - definition of level headed

2nd choice would be a tie b/w riggo-toni, mardi gras skin, SHF

techboy for spiritual advisor. Bang for press secretary

[Burgold]

On second thought, Larry. His thinking is all reasoned and after so many poor to mediocre Presidents in the last thirty years. Aren't you tired of just having a President, don't you want a President.

[SkinsOrlando]

MSF - SecDef

[Burgold]

MSF - SecDef

Good God no... only person worse would be Sarge. With either of them we'd have a nuclear holocaust within the first thirty minutes of inauguration.

[SkinsOrlando]

U say it like its a bad thing ;)

[Walking Deadman]

No offense to anybody here...but NOBODY would be my answer.

Almost all of the Esers are too busy playing with the interwebs, bitching about football, politics, religion, movies or who's the hottest chick to run the country.

So, how exactly is that different from most politicians who work three day work weeks, have affairs, go to sporting events, and celeb studded dinner parties all the time? I think John McCain who's had multiple affairs would make a great ES Poster... except that he's a Cardinals fan.

The biggest problem with McCain as a Tailgate poster is he's less informed than half of us. But on the other hand, he is good at talking trash.

[Teller]

I'll be announcing my candidacy tomorrow; along with a VERY attractive...*ahem*...."stimulus package." :peaceout:

[Kosher Ham]

First 5 things to pop into my head in no particular order.


#1 - Internet...FREE, always.
#2 - Tax on vehicles ? Ummm- NO.
#3 - War on Drugs ? What war ? Spendin...err...wasting our money on that. NO.
#4 - Anyone on Death Row has to have irrefutable evidence against them, and if they do, sentence is to take place within 2 weeks.
#5 - Divorce would not cost you half. EVER. Not even close.

I have a list that is long (in my mind), but these are the first ones I thought of, outside of the things, I have already stated on the board a few times.

[PeterMP]

Larry or DjTj

[LLandryistheshiz]

Coach Williams.

Strawberry milk and mops on sale FOREVER!

[ACW]

SnyderShrugged (JohnLocke'sGhost and PokerPacker are too young): a libertarian.

[skinfan2k]

Actually why not have a real election from here. Posters will vye for president and pick their cabinet and talk about real issue and how they will solve these issues. Have a couple of moderators and judges and voila

[ACW]

[skinfan2k]

We can have a primary for both parties or multiple parties. Try to make it real. You can attack posters and etc. The republicans have two candidates vye for their party and same goes for democrat. It would work and we have a couple of months to do this. Maybe dispute a issue every week like SS, medicare, IRAQ and etc

[DGreenistheBest]

I'd vote for Larry

[Kosher Ham]

They have that already.

Those are called, Mod's, and Admin's.

(Not to mention the owner) :silly:

[dcnativenerd]

SydnerShrugged/John Locke Ghost FTW!

[LLandryistheshiz]

I'd vote for Larry

Fixed it for you.

[SteveFromYellowstone]

Alright, so how should we go about doing this? Do we have two parties, primaries, debates, or what?

[Walking Deadman]

Burgold, had to throw a political shot in there.
I agree with you.
Probably both candidates would be better ES posters as well, since I don't feel either of them will make the country any better and probably will just make it worse :2cents:

[skinfan2k]

Alright, so how should we go about doing this? Do we have two parties, primaries, debates, or what?

lets ask the general public on who wants to represent each party and would participate in the debates along with a cabinet of members that would help each party

[ixcuincle]

An election sounds like fun. I won't participate of course but I'll be entertained by your debates that you will hold.

[Toe Jam]

I would love to be in this.

Sign me up.

[PokerPacker]

Jumbo would be a good choice. He doesn't post often, but when he does (and its not lyrics), its a long and well thought out post that puts things into perspective (when he agrees with me ;))

[Cherick]

Good god! Offseason is way too long!, we'll even have elections here!:laugh: :peaceout:

Let's have a republican, a democrat and an independent party!:wavetowel

Im voting for whoever can make the NFL Sunday Ticket free!!:D

[SteveFromYellowstone]

Alright I'll try to lay out a basic format and get some feedback on it.

We have three parties; Republican, Democrat and Independent.

We hold three primaries (anyone is eligible to put themselves up for their party's nomination).

After the the primaries, we hold debates with questions submitted by members based on political issues relevant to current times.

After all this, we finally make a poll and find out the winner.


I think campaigning and stuff might be a neat idea, maybe something like signature endorsements for candidates. I'm all ears though, discuss.

[Spaceman Spiff]

From hottie drafts to this? What a big fall.

Anyway, PleaseBlitz needs to be involved somehow. He could host the "town hall" debates or something. Make sure he's nice and drunk for it, too :)

[Kosher Ham]

I'm bringing back the Daily Babe thread.

Pizza on Fridays?

Can you make Chic Fil A be open on Sundays?

[Teller]

I'm sorry guys, but if you'll read my thread, you'll see that I'm offering you $123,600 in yearly economic stimulus, plus all the coochie you can eat.

(Can we just coronate me now?) :laugh:

[Kosher Ham]

Pizza on Fridays?

How would you suggest Pizza on fridays to be implemented ? Typically, I have Pizza on Saturdays though.

That business owner has the right to open or close whenever they feel like it. I do not think I could change that. Perhaps, I could find a comparable alternative.

[IHOPSkins]

......I think campaigning and stuff might be a neat idea, maybe something like signature endorsements for candidates. I'm all ears though, discuss.Maybe....

Multiple threads for different purposes...all titled ES ELECTION (sub title)

Different Threads could handle different subject/topics

One thread could be used for just "OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASES"

Another thread for debates (maybe 3 threads max?)

Also

Maybe there could be multiple roles per campaign like...

Opposition Research?....:whip:

[skinfan2k]

I mean it can be fun, if everyone cooperates. I know people like Sarge, SHF, Ihope, Goskins561 would be happy. It would lighten up the mood around here

[Kosher Ham]

(And the mud-slinging begins) So you feel the presidency is a crown ?

I'm am sure I will read your thread though. Redirecting already though...

ehh... From your statement, seems like some empty promises. Not to mention all women are not interested in "coochie" for any meal.

:silly: :laugh:

Indeed.

I, likewise, nominate IHOP. (I need someone to make me look moderate in the primary.) :laugh:

Just joking Larry.....really :paranoid:

I am so far right....I bend to the left sometimes :laugh:

Actually since I am a Pisces, I would make a better VP :high5:

I could lock up the Conservatives without scaring to many moderates :yikes:

[Teller]

See, this sucks.


I called TLC last night and told him I was gonna do a fake presidential platform based on *****. And he told me about this.

I intended for the other thread to be a joke, not throwing my hat in the ring here, officially.

My PR staff is gonna have their hands full. :laugh:

[IHOPSkins]

....#5 - Divorce would not cost you half. EVER. Not even close.......Mr Kosher

MSMSucks here

How do you explain the seeming inconsistency with this policy issue?

If both sides of the divorce do not cover half.....is this just another unfunded government mandate?

[Kosher Ham]

Explain the underlined part of your post ?

No reason to cover half ever. However if in a relationship where YOU (male or female)required your wife/husband to not work, or afforded them a certain lifestyle, your payout/payments would be different than most.

Gov't certainly would not have to pay for it. Upstart companies will line up to do it for them at a lesser rate, think H&R Block.

[dcnativenerd]

Whoever wins...can I have a cabinet spot? Pleeeease?

[IHOPSkins]

Oh I can do that too. I'll just be running this campaign on the $8.79 I have in savings. :laugh:

If indeed true, I am sure I can fund a cardboard box or two plus the magic marker.

For the ES election, I propose no parties, just candidates. :2cents:

For the ES election, I propose no parties, just candidates. :2cents:

I think we should have three parties and discuss the issues in three seperate threads for each. Then when the parties can narrow down to the one candidate each, then we do three threads for the candidates.

Less clutter and more specific on the views.

Hmmm... three parties.

I will be running as a nominee for the Gibbs Party
I suggest the other two Parties be the Turner Party, and the Allen Party (Those are after all, the predominant Redskin eras and philosophies that most of us have lived through)

Since we should also have a green and libertarian party... may I suggest

The Tom Landry Party and the Andy Reid Party

[China]

Well, here is a role model for all you aspiring ES politicians:

Jim Gibbons Is America's Worst Governor (http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/06/30/americas-worst-governor-mr-family-values/)

By Ken Layne

Have you heard of Governor Jim Gibbons? Unless you live in Nevada, chances are you don't know about this insane doofus and his pathetic, philandering "personal" life -- which is nothing but a very public, very shameful series of alcoholic altercations and battles with his soon-to-be ex-wife Dawn.

The hilarious thing about Gibbons is that he has absolutely no "saving grace." He was never a talented politician like Bill Clinton, he has no legislative achievements, his silly speeches are plagiarized, and his smug stupidity is legendary in the Silver State.

The longtime do-nothing congressman won the Nevada governorship after one of the most dismal campaigns in American History, notable only for the story of his drunken rampage against a cocktail waitress in a Las Vegas parking garage weeks before the election. Dingbat Jim is in the news again, just when the political world needs a laugh.

Since his swearing in -- a corrupt and paranoid midnight affair held in his Reno living room -- Governor Gibbons has shown utter ignorance of Nevada governance. Whether it's education or energy, he doesn't understand his own administration's policies. He doesn't even know the people who run his administration, having infamously been unable to name his Turkish-born energy adviser, Hatice Gecol, because she was "Indian."

As a half-dozen major corruption scandals continue to haunt him and the FBI continues to investigate the kickbacks he received from Nevada businessmen, Gibbons has provided non-stop burlesque in the form of his second marriage, to former state legislator Dawn Gibbons.

Dawn now lives in the Governor's Mansion, in Carson City, and won't budge. Gibbons is back at his house in Reno. Their divorce proceedings became public last month, via lurid legal complaints by Dawn, while even more evidence of Drunken Jim's running around was found in hundreds of lewd text messages he sent to the mobile phone of one of his many special lady friends.

What can the governor with 20% approval ratings -- lower than George W. Bush! -- do for an encore? Be photographed in the parking lot of the Reno Rodeo canoodling with a woman who, twenty years ago, was naked in Playboy magazine, that's what!

The Nevada Appeal sent someone to the rodeo to take pictures of cowboys and their beloved cows. But in the parking lot, the photographer found a more interesting subject: Jim Gibbons humping on some gal who wasn't his wife, again.

Already despised by both parties in Nevada's legislature thanks to his awful handling of the state's budget nightmare, Gibbons' latest public idiocy could only be made worse by Gibbons' own mouth. This was his bizarre explanation for groping this latest lady in public:

Gibbons explained to reporters that he was just hugging his special lady friend and it certainly wasn't romantic, because if there's anything that "takes the romance out of a friendship, it's being there when her child is born. I held her hand when her child was born."

[GibbsFactor]

Since we should also have a green and libertarian party... may I suggest

The Tom Landry Party and the Andy Reid Party

Oh dems be fighting werds.

:redpunch:

[Burgold]

Oh dems be fighting werds.

:redpunch:

No, no, no, the dems are clearly part of the Gibbs party. :silly:

[Bang]

My candidacy is open.
I'm white, self employed, in reasonably good shape. I can be adventurous, and I can also be discreet.
I'm looking for a country that is there when I need them, that enjoys long walks on the beach, and thinks a quiet evening at home is a good time.

Sure, you could vote for Honorary Hog, but, really, do we want laundry all over the White House? You just know he'd be serving pizza rolls and Doritos at state dinners and he'd have to move his underwear off the couch in the drawing room for the Prime Minister to sit down.

You could vote for Skins Orlando, and Rush Limbaugh will be president.

You could vote for Burgold, but do we really need a multiple choice acceptance speech? State of the Union polls?

You could vote for Baculus, but is he a vampire? He's never said that he isn't, and I think it's very possible. If you want to vote for the bloodsucking undead, that's on you. I'm just sayin'..

You could vote for MSF.. and he'd likely throw you in jail. You know you deserve it.

Or you could vote for me.
And you'd have the coolest mother****ing president there ever was.
