I know there's got to be a Snopes for this re:BillCosby as write in candidate

[Buddyblazon]

I'm scouring Snopes for this one because I would be shocked if this is legitimate. So....do any of you know of the Snopes link to this one? It's from my nutty neo-con Father and I'd love nothing more than to "reply-all" on this piece of work.






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's 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. The president nor any other politician will not 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 is no more life sentences. If convicted, 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 ultimat ely 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 but a vote for me will get you better than what you have, and better than what you're gonna get. Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on the ballot in November.
God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!

4. Update.

Sent it to my Father:

Wanna buy a bridge?


Father called me not ten minutes later. He didn't get it...he thought the bridge comment was a joke...but he didn't click on the link.

So I explained to him.

He replied with, "Yeah...but it's funny."

I said, "Fine if you think it's funny...but it's a lie. Bill Cosby didn't ever say that."

"But you gotta admit it's funny."

"It didn't even get a grin from me....and it's still a lie. And you know what you are when you forward a lie, Dad?"

"What's that?"

"A liar Dad."

"It was just an attempt at humor"

"Dad...what part are you having a problem with? You forwarded a lie. That makes you a liar. You don't want to be a liar. So...let's try this again. Do you want to be a liar Dad?"

"No"

"Then check snopes before sending out something that could be a lie. And a tip...99% of the stuff that comes in that sort of format...is a lie."

"Okay".

Apparently when I hit reply all...it went to my Dad's entire side of the family...who I love and I am very close to...but are all conservatives.

So...the next few days should be interesting.
