What would be your ideal 2016 presidential ticket?

[George Smiley II]

Rand Paul and Ron Paul, who should then proceed to:

- Repeal the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
- Repeal the Voting Rights Act of 1965
- Bomb Iran, turn Iran into a parking lot and put the Ayatollah in a box
- Abolish democracy, for it is the tyranny of the majority, and I don't like what will soon be the majority.

I though the Pauls were against foreign intervention of any sort? At least the Elder Paul.


Anyway, I'd like to see the Republicans put up a Huntsman & Christie ticket. From Democrats I'd like to see Feingold & Schweitzer. I'll probably vote 3rd party if neither party comes up with similar tickets.

So I guess you'll be voting third party...

[District XIV]

Rand Paul and Ron Paul,

Goodness no.

who should then proceed to:

Immediately resign if elected and pretend it never happened.

- Repeal the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

*sigh* Because sexism accomplishes things

- Repeal the Voting Rights Act of 1965

*sigh again* Racism too?

- Bomb Iran, turn Iran into a parking lot and put the Ayatollah in a box

- Abolish democracy, for it is the tyranny of the majority,

Oh my.

and I don't like what will soon be the majority.

Makes you wonder why you're still the political minority, doesn't it?

That's actually untrue. Elder had repeatedly pushed for PMC use in the Middle East, even after the Blackwater fiasco.

They just prefer mercenary intervention. Much easier to get around those pesky human rights laws.

He also voted in favor of the AUMF2001, which allowed the military to kill and indefinitely imprison anyone they want, including US citizens, as long as they said they were involved in 9/11.

Less to do with human rights and more to do with the absurd assertion so many lolburtarians make that the US military is conscripted and thus shouldn't be marched off into wars of choice.

The failure here being that wars of choice shouldn't be picked willy-nilly…

[North-East Ohio]

For the Democrats I'd want Hilary Clinton for President and either Martin O'Malley or Brian Schweitzer for VP.

For the Republicans...basically anyone who's not in the Paul family.
I really don't like any of the current candidates...but If I had to choose...Probably Jon Huntsman and Rob Portman...doesn't matter witch position either go for. Like I said, I don't like any of them really.

[Pope Joan]

Bill Richardson (Hispanic vote)
and Kirsten Gillibrand, strong for veterans, and our smartest and most responsible Senator.

Geographic distribution.

A viable female VP who could go on to be President.

"Oh, but Richardson has business scandal baggage!"

And you think Ms. Clinton has none?

[MERIZoC]

Among his other poor qualities, Christie is an absolute asshole, and in no way fit to hold executive office.

How so? Is it because you disagree with him?

Well, for a start, there's this: http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2014/01/chris-christie-bullying-videos

And then there was that whole bridge thing. What happened there again? Oh yeah…..

[Atlanticatia]

Let's have a constitutional monarchy, instead. Then we don't have to worry about electing a head of state. We can invite the Queen back, and get a Prime Minister or something.

Yes, because wouldn't everyone just love Prime Minister Boehner.

That'd be terrible. Although wouldn't it be Kevin McCarthy?
I wouldn't mind Pelosi, though.

Let's not. A parliamentary system or semi-presidential system is fine, but no monarch please.

It was a joke.

Anyone know who America's Third Largest Party is putting up?

[Magna Libero]

Rand Paul perhaps. He might be an almost decent candidate, but he sucks and is actually far from decense.

I'm not an American, but I would either vote for Gary Johnson or none at all and instead try to find alternative means of changing society and avoiding the state.

[Magna Libero]

Is it Gary Johnson? Apparently he wants to run again.

Hitler.

Insufficiently committed to Social Darwinism.

Gary Johnson? The former governor of New Mexico that gave no-bid contracts to highways that are already falling apart, filled prisons with drug offenders while vetoing marijuana legalization bills, and made his state government significantly larger every year while he was in office? The most socially authoritarian governor New Mexico has ever had?

That Gary Johnson?

[Tatooene]

I would vote for Ben Carson if he chooses to run. Of course, then turn about is fair play, and the Republicans would have to accuse Democrats of racism if they didn't vote for the non-white candidate.

As a New Mexican, I can assure you that Gary Johnson is not a good choice for anyone.

Could I get a source on that?

I don't see anything special about Ben Carson. He's a good speaker and seems like a good man, but beyond that I don't see know why anyone would want him to be the next President. I could see him as an Ike-esque rescuer of foreign interventionism in the GOP to counter Rand Paul, though.
