Subject: RE: BS: In every thread someone has to be last!
He is running for president, but his platform is a little hard to categorize as either Right, Left, or Center. For instance: he's very pro-gun, but he's very anti-war. He would lobby for increased gun ownership amongst the general public and promote opening more firing ranges to train proper handling of firearms, but he would very rapidly pull out of both Iraq and Afghanistan, and he would shut down Guantanamo...no ifs, ands, or buts about that. He would give the place back to Cuba. He would also give the Panama Canal Zone to Panama. And he would make sure that people can continue to smoke in bars if they so desire. He would legalize home cultivation of marijuana for personal use only, but would not allow it to be sold commercially. He would raise the minimum wage significantly and institute universal health care as done in Europe and Canada. He would resume much expanded space exploration and work to put a chimp (or a man) on Mars by 2016. He would put major funding into reforestation efforts in both the USA and abroad, and greatly curtail defence spending. ("We need more trees, not more missiles.")

See what I mean?
