I was thinking about this the past few days, what would prevent me from being voted into office by the majority of Americans. I could probably get into some other office, like mayor or maybe governor. I might even be (once I get qualifications in line) nominated to be on the cabinet. But this is a short list of what would prevent me from getting elected to Presidency (or nominated VP for that matter) or stop me from getting into congress.
1. Religion: I am an atheist. the religious activists will complain that i will not have any regard for life and spirituality and will attempt to rid our country of religious freedoms. On the contrary, I would be imposing religious freedoms by clearly separating church and state. I will have a strong regard for life because I believe when you are dead there is no more, no happy place after. That would make me think twice about sending brothers, sisters mothers and fathers into war because I would be under the influence that I am taking my own countries life, and they aren't going to a better place for their efforts, so I would think long and hard before making a decision to send them to the end of the road. I would also hold freedom of expression above all else.
2. Not liberal or conservative: I have conservative views on fiscal responsibility, but and too liberal on social agendas. I am progressive, I want to move forward and try new things and give new ideas a shot. People don't like change, they find it hard to cope with and like things to stay the same so they know how to work things out. I hate when a government become stagnant and opposed to progress.
3. i am not a wealthy man, and I don't really want to be. That limits my start up funds for a campaign. not to mention the personal expense after elected which requires moving, new furnishings, new bills ect... the fact that i don't have money will make me seem like I am not in the upper echelon as far as intelligence and that will be seen as a weakness.
on going....
