Right on, if elected to office, I promise not to do the stalking, and instead use my drones and body armor to randomly drop guns, some with the right bullets in them, some that do not, and use completely random numbers to tax both the rich and poor.
To accomplish so much in 4 years, if only all our politicians were this motivated. You know where he messed up? He didn't hire more people and kick some of that money back. I've only met one public official who wasn't corrupt... because he was caught early on being corrupt and didn't want to deal with that again, also he was successful outside of being a sheriff.
Maybe that's just the state I live in, but he could have accomplished so much more if he would have just made those above and around him a little happy with some of that meat he was carving up.
Wow Republicans really get dirty don't they?
Ha! That is quite ironic.
