Aubrey Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Does that count as a political thread? Dh & I had the most delightful time planning my campaign over dinner tonight, but I noticed he left laughing, while I left inspired. :glare: I think I'm outside-the-box enough to unite both sides of the aisle. Although they might just be united in their attempts to impeach me. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 We have to wait until 2016? I would vote for you in 2012. :) (I'm seriously thinking about getting a campaign sign to plant in my front yard just to tick off a certain neighbor. How bad is that?! :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Wow.

Aubrey Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I don't want to run as an independent--I've seen what a hard time they have. So I'm thinking repubrocrat. Or demolican. Yeah, I think I like demolican--one of my goals is to repeal the most laws in any one term. Dh says that's anarchy; I say it's getting the gov't out of people's way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure not being a lawyer or a politician could work in my favor, BUT I might really need all 6 years to get anyone to know who I am. Plus, I'm pg right now. I've noticed no one wants to hire someone who's pg. I figure that means the American public, too. So I figure one thing at a time, right? And I've got to finish getting mom's basement fixed up: 1. Fix basement. 2. Have baby. 3. Run for president. (The kids are saying bedtime prayers for this right now. Why? I told them the White House has secret passages. They've asked if I will tell them in the morning if I've made it or not.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in...I'll wear a nice yellow and black tartan plaid skirt, black sweater, tam hat, tartan scarf, and wave my signs furiously. When the media gets ugly, we'll all go TROLL HUNTING, and then when the journalists lay whimpering in a heap, we'll remind them, "Don't poke the hive!" Yellow and black tartan parades, honey and honey based products for the common man, and if we have to get devious, we can always unleash killer bees inside the both national headquarters. :D This definitely has potential!
