What if:....
Tomorrow morning, G.W. Bush scheduled a National press conference, with all media outlets present, and made this speech:
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen. After many long hours of soul searching, deliberation, and consultation with my advisors and Constitutional experts, I want to reveal my goals and plans, if I am elected to be your next President.”
“My Administration will immediately propose, and work toward the repeal of the current income tax structure, and abolishment of the Internal Revenue Service. All funding of certain Constitutionally defined Government expenses will be accomplished by a flat Federal income tax; not to exceed 17% of individual and corporate income.”
“Secondly, my Administration will immediately propose and work toward the repeal of all Federal laws regulating the possession of small arms, by law-abiding citizens of the United States.”
“Additionally, we will advocate and work toward the abolishment of ALL Federal laws regarding the personal use of certain drugs, now categorized as “Controlled Substances,” by adult citizens. Those currently incarcerated merely for the sale, or manufacture of these substances will be granted an immediate pardon, and released from confinement.”
“Further, my Administration will immediately begin dismantling the INS, and open all our national borders to all who desire to come into this Country for lawful purposes.”
“Lastly, as National policy, we will immediately de-fund all involvement in the Socialist-controlled United Nations Organization, and recall all of our troops currently engaged in peace-keeping activities on foreign soil.”---
THE QUESTIONS:
1.) What do you think would be the reaction of his opponents?
2.) What do you think would be the reaction of the majority of voters?
3.) What do you think this would do to his chances of winning?
*Since this is an entirely hypothetical scenario, please don’t respond by saying: “Nah, he’ll never do that!” or, “I just wouldn’t believe him!”
I would really appreciate reading your thoughtful responses.
