Bill Cosby for POTUS? What an interesting concept.
An email circulating a request to place Bill Cosby as a write-in candidate on the November ballot has come to my inbox. It’s a typical false rumor/urban legend e-mail from some one that must have thought they were contributing to politics in a positive way. Even snopes.com has verified this is probably not from Bill Cosby or as they claim not even from the late George Carlin would we have heard this type of humor.
As funny as it reads; it’s really not funny at all when a simple e-mail can recognize how far off-track our government has taken this country.
I have to say there are quite a few points of this supposed platform that I would certainly agree with. Some of these suggestions I would really like to see happen. Some I can see wouldn’t work over the long term and only be beneficial on the surface but hey… we can still dream of a country that manifests itself in great ways, can’t we?
Is it time for our government and the “elected by-the-people” politicians to realize that sometimes you have to take a step back in order to go forward?
Perhaps he’s onto something here?
Perhaps Obama will take notes?
Perhaps the citizens of this country are fed-up with the BS of the last decade?
Here’s the e-mail, judge for yourself:
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1) “Press 1 for English” is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.
(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country’s attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use WalMart’s policy, ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin in, you ain’t gettin nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will not be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare – Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.
(7) Professional Athletes –Steroids – The FIRST time you check positive you’re banned for life.
(8) Crime – We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9) One export will be allowed; Wheat, The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it’s a worthy cause.
(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
Sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you’re gonna get.
Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November.
God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!
Bill Cosby!!!!!!!!
