"All candidates for president have to show their tax returns. The people have to know if you are a ****ing crook."
Yet, the DUmmies proved over the last eight years that they don't think candidates for president should have to show their US birth certificates. They believed the people don't have to know if you're a native- born US citizen or not.
"Before you become president you have to sell your businesses. All business ties have to come to an end. You cannot hand over control of your business to family members. This will stop rich assholes from running for president."
Would that include the Clintons with their slush- funds? How about Al Gore's carbon- offsets company (Hence why he's always demanding that people buy carbon- offsets, supposedly to stop global warming but really just so he can make a profit)? In 2004, would John Kerry have been required to make Theresa sell Heinz Ketchup?
"Nepotism must be outlawed."
I seem to recall a DU thread in which a DUmmy claimed that they could retake the White House in 2020 by running a Democratic "Dream Team" which would have included Hillary for President again, Al Gore for VP, and Chelsea Clinton in some other very prominent position. That, if carried out, would have been nepotism in the worst possible sense.

I think I'd just ask Bill Maher for a set of "New Rules" and enact them wholesale."
Seriously?
This is the guy who seems to every freaking day look for new ways to ensure that his ugly, smug face will one day be seen in the dictionary next to the word "Douchebag."
This is the guy who openly cheered on the death of Steve Irwin, and a few months later went to a Hollywood Halloween party dressed as Irwin, complete with a fake bloody stingray barb sticking out of his chest.
This is the guy who openly expressed regret that a terrorist attempt to assassinate then- VP Dick Cheney was unsuccessful.
This is the guy who made a callous, heartless joke about the death/ funeral of Pope John Paul II (He made the comment that, "The line of people waiting to pay their respects was so long, by the time they got to him they probably smelled as bad as he did").
This is the guy who once openly accused then- President George W. Bush of being a wife- beater with no proof, just for laughs (Some time after this, btw, several of Maher's own exes came forward and admitted he was verbally and physically abusive towards them when dating them).
This is the guy who, shortly before Halloween some years back, openly encouraged his viewers to slip LSD into the candy they offered trick- or- treaters.
This is the guy who openly insulted the entire freaking populations of Mississippi and Alabama, portraying them all as brainless, gap- toothed hillbillies.
This is the guy who openly said on his show that everyone who believes in God should be diagnosed as having serious mental problems.
Yet, this DUmmy believes he's the one who should make up rules and laws for us.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.
