Election: I sent this to my friends I thought I'd share

Yeah I'm cynical alright.

But my choices are someone that is so left of center he can't see the middle and someone that lost his way and bowed toward the right thus showing those of us in the center his @ss.

Energy - the reliance on "drill baby, drill" is utter non-sense but no less preposterous than not even mentioning nuclear energy in your energy plan. Not to mention that building a couple of nuclear power plants would actually create thousands of jobs. Though, Mr. McCain, I hope I don't have anything heavy in my hand near my TV the next time you mention a gas tax holiday.

Taxes - more for the rich or taxing corporations to high hell. Great choices. Although, I am for tax breaks for corporations that create jobs in the U.S. whether the companies are foreign or domestic.

Abortion - Danger Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!

Social Security - Everyone is going to "fix" it. Here's a thought, how about we stop allowing the government to borrow from it? It's not a slush fund. Raise the cut off to pay in by $50,000/yr and be done. Old people: It's not supposed to be a retirement plan. Young people: That money is not for you, it's for your parents. Just like it has always been.

Education: Is a local issue. Only the barest minimum of federal standards should be enforced. Parents: Tell your f'n kids to study and make sure they do it. If Johnny can't read it's not JUST the schools fault.

Religion: I have mine. It may not be yours. I'll keep mine out of the public schools and you do the same. I have no problems with moments of silence in schools or at sports gatherings(even if they masquerade as prayer). Silence is respectful you don't have to be a deist to believe that.

Somewhere in there I decided that I'm running for President.

I've smoked dope.

I had pre-marital s*x.

I have piercings in "weird" places

I think "The National Anthem" should be replaced with "America the Beautiful." Because while The Anthem is about strength in our darkest hour it's nice if you can read the words and know exactly which country the song is about.

Any other silly questions about my personal life?

I've got cabinet posts in mind for all of you. Though I'm going to leave a few blank as they aren't necessary or could be combined. (No Pxxxx, you can't have Sec. Def. I'm giving that to Bxxxxx's Axxxxx. You get Homeland Security.)

Who's with me?

Now if I were one year older.
