Never has someone less qualified run for president.
I wouldn't go that far but I understand your point.
Ashame we don't have the courage to vote someone like Pat Paulson in as President. Where did Pat stand on many issues? Here are some quotes from him that may not get your vote but by-God should get your laugh. That first one just kills me!
"All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian"
"Why should we tell kidnappers,murderers and embezzlers their rights?If they don't know their rights,they shouldn't be in the business."
"A good many people feel that our present draft laws are unjust.These people are called soldiers."
"Sex doesn't have to be taught.It's something most of us are born with."
When originally "denying" he was running, borrowing from General William Sherman in 1884: "I will not run if nominated, and if elected I will not serve."
Presidential Campaign Slogan: "I've upped my standards. Now, up yours."
Presidential Campaign Slogan: "If elected, I will win."
"I am neither left wing nor right wing. I am middle-of-the-bird."
"Marijuanna should be licensed and kept out of the hands of teenagers. It's too good for them."
When asked if he believes in the Right to bear arms: "No, I believe in the right to
arm bears."
"I feel proud to be living in a country where people are not afraid to laugh at themselves and where political satire is tolerated by the government, if not the television network."
On network censorship: "Censorship does not interfere with the Constitutional rights of every American to sit alone in a dark room in the nude and cuss. There are realistic taboos, especially regarding political comments. Our leaders were not elected to be tittered at. For example, we're not allowed to make fun of President Johnson. But if we praise him, who would believe it?"
RIP Pat and thanks for making us not take ourselves so serious from time to time.
