Well, the Presidential debates are on and will, unfortunately, continue for what will seem like an eternity. By the time the election comes around the voters might be so sick and tired of listening to the posturing and outright lying that we might possibly see the smallest turnout ever on election day.
Even with all the hot air spewed out by the candidates so far not one of them has articulated the platform that will guarantee victory. As I see it these are the platform planks that a really pro-American candidate should run on:
The Mexican border will be shut down so tight a Mexican mouse can't sneak through.
The target date for finishing the fence along the border will be one year after Inauguration Day.
Social Security verification will be mandatory for all employers hiring new workers.
Employers found to have illegal aliens on their payroll will be fined and jailed.
There are supposedly over 20 million under-educated Americans who are unemployed. Any of these who are receiving public assistance and are able bodied will be directed to fill jobs formerly held by illegal aliens. Refusal to take these jobs will result in a cutoff of assistance.
Sanctuary cities will receive no federal funds.
All petroleum reserves on U.S. territory and off-shore will be developed to decrease our dependence on foreign oil.
New oil refineries will be built in the continental United States as a security measure in case of war. Much of our refined petroleum products are processed in foreign countries.
A crash program, on the style of the Manhattan Project which led to the development of the atom bomb, will be instituted to develop alternative, renewable fuels.
So called "free trade" will be abandoned and we will withdraw from all international trade organizations. Congress will once again control our trade policies which now are in the hands of bureaucrats in Belgium.
So far none of the candidates has even come close to espousing these positions. Political correctness has stifled them.
This makes me FURIOUS!!!!
