View Full Version : A new candidate steps up to the plate

Hello, I'm John H. H. the 4th, but you can just call me Johnny. I'm hereby announcing my candidacy for President of the United States!

Now, before you ask what party I belong to, what my stance on the "issues" is, let me say that the answer is a big fat "who cares?" That's right, WHO THE FUCK CARES? I think something we've all learned by now is that politicians never actually do the things they promise. The hope of change that they buy your votes with never occurs! So I say to hell with it! I'm like a mystery bag: no way of knowing what'll happen till I'm in office! A novelty, maybe, but at least you can't say I'm not honest! After all, how can I break promises I didn't make? I can't very well "betray" ideals and beliefs I never once professed, after all, and it gives me a chance to theoretically offer something for everyone without the burden of actually flip-flopping to attract voters from all parts of the spectrum. Let's see some of those other candidates pull THAT off!

"But you're only 22!" you may argue. 35 is the legal minimum age for being the president, but in pre-emptive response, consider this: ALL politicians lie, cheat, steal, and break who knows how many other laws! Rather than focus on the fact that legally I cannot be president, focus on the fact that electing me will be doing to the politicians what they've been doing themselves all this time: ignoring the law! And the best part is that it's a victimless crime! Well, the victims are the other candidates who DO meet all requirements to be president, but let's be frank here: They're the reason you're voting for me!

Which brings me to another one of those so-called "talking points:" I'll be frank, up-front, and honest about my opinion on matters. Without party affiliation or any ties to existing political bodies, I've nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing so. I'll say it how it is in a down-to-earth and open manner. Swearing? FUCK YES! Didn't you hear me say fuck in the first part of my speech anyways? Fuck shit ass hell damn cunt bitch fuck tits!

And for all you young people who hate how out-of-touch the crusty old men of politics are, I'm one of you! For once, let the old men be the ones arguing they aren't adequately represented! Poetic justice at its finest, wouldn't you say?

As for my socio-economic views (or whatever other big words old people love using to sound smart), how about a big fat 'I JUST DON'T CARE!' Now, that's not to say I won't do anything in this area, but rather, it's just too big of a clusterfuck to bother going into in this speech. Besides, consider it part of the mystery box that is myself! Do you really want that new washer/dryer combo representing the same old politicians, or would you like the mystery box! It could be ANYTHING! Any combination of anything! It could be a box full of air, or a diamond ring. Maybe it's a Wii or PS3! MAYBE BOTH! Really though, it's just air, which, may I remind you, is essential to life on this planet, and therefore a much better deal than innovation or no games. The diamond ring wouldn't be bad though, and at least you can sell it and the game systems, unlike air.

But I can tell you all want to at least have a taste of what I have in store for y'all should you elect me to that there fancy desk! How about complete government reform? I'm taking gutting the entire thing, throwing its entrails out on the streets, and letting the vultures peck at it for a few days; after all, they need food too! It's anarchy, sure, but then we order new desks, chairs, and other furniture, round up some bums from the homeless shelters, and stick them in high paying government positions!

Yes, people of this great country, I just not only BSed my way to a solution to the problems of the broken government in this country, I also proposed an effective solution to the homeless problems we're facing! I really should get some sort of combo bonus for that. I propose a 10% vote modifier for myself in elections!

Back to the government thingy though. While my solution may seem radical, anarchistic, and downright idiotic, is it really worse than what we have now? It is pure potential, as opposed to the pure crap we have now! I mean, can you believe our current system would consider my campaign, and even my very candidacy not only unorthodox, but possibly criminal! I'd say whitey is trying to keep me down, but playing the race card isn't something I want to do, as a matter of personal pride. Plus, I myself am white as can be, so it'd be rather ineffective.

But I'm rambling now. I think I've said more than enough to seal my position as a solid contender, possibly as president, and probably just as well, as I talked myself into a corner there. Good night you wonderful people you, and make sure to be plenty votey that cold November morn! Though if it's too cold, maybe like go in the early afternoon, when temperatures are their highest usually. I dunno, ask the meteorologists. GOOD NIGHT!

*promptly walks into the door on his way out after failing to open it correctly*

Simply saying "I don't care." Really isn't being "frank, up-front, and honest about (your) opinion on matters." Its more avoiding the matters.

You're also breaking the "14 years spent living in the US" rule of being president but I guess that furthers your point >.>

Not really, it goes with my "I'm not promising anything" angle that is combined with the "mystery box" aspect. And I'm honest and up front about THAT. Besides, "I don't care" IS a valid opinion on issues, like it or not. It means I have no strong feeling one way or another, although I'm not exactly using it in that way.

And yes, Bloo, there's that angle too, though I think the age thing would be the only hot-button issue. A very small group of informed people may argue against me on the "lol 14 years" thing, but most people would let me slide on the fact that I've spent 20 of my 22 years living as a US citizen. And even those two years I don't think I actually had given up my citizenship.

Saying, "I'm a mystery" is not being frank or up front at all.

You're promising to be an enigma, a mystery and a hindrance. So you're also breaking your own promises before you even promise anything concrete.

What you need is more Aussieness to take the US out of the dark ages and convert you bastards to metric. :P

COME JETHRO, TO THE FLY MOBILE!

Nah, getting the US people to vote for an underage candidate is tons easier than to vote for a non US citizen who not only hasn't lived here, but displays active hatred towards it :P

And I'm not promosing to be a hindrance, I'm just not buying into the whole "lol promise the voters what they want!" crap, hence me being different. By not promising anything during the campaign, I can't break any promises when I'm in office.

So, how am I breaking my own promises?

Not as hard as you might think, government relations with the rest of the world is at its lowest ebb in years so a foreign candidate, if it were viable would be more appreciative of what the larger picture can bring and leave the Americanisms to the Americans, hence staff. The active hatred for the country itself is needed, since complacency or outright bullshitting will only lead to more celebrities, more celebrities lead to more movies and next thing you know we have Gangs of New York 2 and Kurt Russell thinks he's 25 again.

And you are promising, just not in the sense that everyone else is promising. "I will not care" is the same as promising that you won't care.

that being said I would also rename America, because I could, possibly to People Interned Secretly, Sssshhhh! or PISS for short so that I can make awesome penis jokes at everyones expense and then get outsed almost immediately but keep my ridiculous government salary.

The point isn't how valuable a foreign president would be, the point is the people would never elect one, much less one with your attitude.

And besides, wouldn't breaking a promise of not caring to care (and improve) things be, I dunno, a GOOD thing? Much better than crusty old men promising change and not delivering.

Everyone jump on the Lades bandwagon and help hand out flyers.

Hmm, that's right, I need a VP. Lath would be the obvious choice, but...

I'll need to think about this.

You act as if I'll be walking into the magical land of furry things and sunshine where I would be dicked for walking instead of skipping going fa la la la la.

"That's 20 rupees skipping fine.... oh you need to retrieve them from your pot and lawn ok, here take my machete!"

And no it's not a good thing because you'd be doing what you said you wouldn't do in breaking a promise you never meant to make and thus would be as bad as the people you're degrading, thus you would have no claim to be different.

And people would too vote for foreigners if they could, mainly because perhaps then instead of havign crazy Bill has no pants you could have crazy fly has no pants, shirt, or hell any form of clothing and the USa could become 1 giant nudist colony, with fat people sectioned off to California or something.
