I think that's a bit wishful thinking. The fundamentalists hate everyone who's not like them. And they don't attack us to make the US leave them alone, it's to destroy the US.

If there ever is a candidate that feels the same way...Im voting for them
BJ Hitler for President!
3 things:

1. Im not old enough to run for president. I wont turn 35 until 2017 so I wouldnt be eligible to run until 2020
2. I have little to no political experience and would not be taken seriously even if I DID want to run
3. I will not be compared to one of the most evil figures in world history.

You have to keep me in the loop with these things though.....no worrys there's no time to get mad, I'm in work mode.

1. BJ I'm going to update your resume, make it a little less about sports and a little more about community
2. I'm going to enroll you in the Ronald Reagan School for Politics started by our very own Roy Jones
3. Even though you do not meet the minimum age requirements to be President I'm going to get you a gig on capital hill. Dont forget we have 20 or more Alumni who work on the actual hill and another 4000 in the area. BJ, the job I'll get you will require a full staff.
4. After some thinking about this, it might take a little extra time to get the clearance needed due to a few comments you've made on here some time ago. (you know how the govt is...they were prob alerted right away. Dont worry though, I know people. Well actually the people I know can only get your background check disappear if you did just a few bad things.....think you're all good?
5. We're going to keep an eye out on the polls and STRIKE when the iron is hot....and right now BJ your demographic is HOT....we should take advantage.
6. Start thinking about who you want in your cabinet. JC Watts has to be the VP, that's my choice, you really dont have a say...and it will realllly reallly tick America off. Dont worry those are the Americans that are to dumb to remember to vote anyways.
7. The rest of your staff is up to you, I wont even veto it. I suggest making it up of people you feel comfortable with like fellow FF'rs. Maybe a few will volunteer to have the ride of their life for 8 years....yeh, thats right 8....BJ is not a 1 term pony.
8. Hmmmm, who was it that was your athletic supporter when we were going after the coaching job....we need to find out because I think it will be vital to have someone with a good handle on things
I need to go update the resume.....BJ you need to come up with a slogan.

BJ could run as a democrat. And then all those constitutional requirements wouldn't mean a thing! :D

Umm...no...you would think that because stereotypically African-Americans tend to lean Democratic, but I actually have been registered as a Republican my whole life (though I tend to lean more Libertarian than anything).

1. I did not know you were african-american. I don't know you personally.
2. What I meant was that democrats bring constitutional rules all the time (such as health care) to achieve their goals, which is why I said that.
3. Way to be libertarian! Although I guess I have a much more isolationist view than you.

Newt Gingrich just came out recently and said that he doesn't regret supporting the medicare drug plan (Bushcare), which is now a $7.2 TRILLION unfunded liability. And you guys want this clown to be the next President?

Don't worry, I think most conservative/libertarian folks like me hate this guy. Its just the country club republicans who love newt because he stands for nothing. He's just another george bush.

You keep saying these empty catch-phrases and slogans. No substance?

I've given the substance. But I'm not in the mood to repeat myself right now, so you'll have to look it up.

BEE-JAY would need to explain his stalking issues, but HMO has a good plan for him. in all serousness though it has to be Mitt Romney!

I would love Mitt but I think the "being a part of a Cult" will do him in.


We need a business mind in DC...someone who understands what ROI is and has actually had to do a payroll once in their life. Someone who understands that this money we are spending is ACTUALLY REAL. Of course I'd love to see good values as well, but honestly I have to wonder if it's to late for our country as far as values are concerned. Heck, I'd actually consider Trump at this point...no lie. I never would have even considered that 2 years ago.

Sounds like Donald is going to run after all with his rant on The View... I mean why else would he bring the birth certificate up if he's not trying to appeal to those on the far right?

I don't doubt that he will get in. However, I think he will be more of a grenade thrower against Obama than anything else. Not saying it is a bad thing but he doesn't really have to worry about his "reputation" or political future. I think he would make the race entertaining. Would love to see a Trump/Christie ticket!!
