2012 Candidate For President


Bill Cosby has a great way of distilling things. Looks like he's done it again!





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 the Wal-Mart 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. Neither the president nor any other politician will 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 are no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, 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


GOD BLESS AMERICA


Bill Cosby

edited to add: I do not believe that this was written by BC nor that he is running in 2012. I merely do agree with many or I guess all, of the references in this email and found it slightly amusing as well.

Stop posting phoney emails. This was not written by Bill Cosby.

These threads do not help your cause or the cause of returning liberty to the people of this nation.
It is very neoconish of you to post items such as this.

And if your thread is based on a lie about someone, at least spell their name correctly in the thread title!

Maybe that's the catch. Bill Crosby said this not Bill Cosby.

oh sorry, I type fast. Crosby. I stand corrected.
Man you guys REALLY need to lighten up. Are you THAT DULL in real life?
This was meant to be FUNNY haha.
Posting comical things on here with you lame-o's is like talking to my kitchen wall. (if I were to do that, which I don't but you lame-o children will likely next say I do talk to my kitchen wall, so predictable)
Do you REALLY think that I am insinuating that he is REALLY running for pres and/or actually wrote this? If so, well I'll just leave it at 'if so'....

Well you posted it as if it is real. You made no insinuations that it was supposed to be funny or that you knew Bill Cosby did not write the email.

Sorry you have to be more careful.

And I actually agree with a couple of the premises especially the steroid ban.

I thought they had brought Bing back from the dead. I was going to burst into a Christmas carol.

Oh well.

If you have to tell people that it is funny, then it probably is not.
