Snopes will probably show this as "false", but Snopes is liberal so who knows if what they say is true or not ?

yah, he puts the problem out front and then gives a solution. That'sfresh air.

I really like the #4 and #9 angles.

Why wouldn't "Anyone Running", since we have some debt with an imbalance in trade, pledge an increase in Tariffs?

If he adds a permanent ban on all cell phones while driving AND at the driving range, I'll vote for him!

I've seen similarly phrased lists attributed to all sorts of celebrites. Usually the person who starts it puts someone eleses name on it to give it more creditibltiy that from Joe Common.

I agree with #10) ending foreign aid, but what oh what will Israel do without our precious money??? All these proposals are nice moral boosters but they will never be done...I've got one: all senior citizens must take a road test every year to keep their drivers license.

Pell Mell · 11-30-2009, 09:31 PM

I started this thread not knowing who really made up the list but I liked some of the items listed.

Probably the same things the Palestinians and the rest of the world will do.
