There are ways to stop terrorism besides using police force, the police would be there after the attack was thwarted by the obstacles the car has to go around to get to its target. Then the police would stop the terrorist dead in its track before making another move to launch another attack.

Why would I make it impossible to respond quickly and effectively? I am looking to prevent crime on the spot, not to start it. They declared war on us, there are laws preventing police officers from firing at anyone but terrorists are not american citizens so the same law does not apply to them since they have no American rights. They did the same to us, the Iraqi government captured an American citizen (see the paper yesterday), held him ransom, and made sure he got the quickest way to die, as in the death sentence in all sense of the word.
You can say that you're going to cut taxes, but advocate something that would cost so much money that no one in their right mind would attempt it.
What's a cop going to do to stop me from walking into a building with a bomb strapped to my chest under my shirt, out of view?
Because you want to fix a problem by throwing money and people at it. It doesn't work that way, sorry, you need reform that doesn't include blinding throwing resources down the toilet.

I want to make sure that our defense forces can hold on to our nation better than the ones can in Iraq. I do not support a draft in our country because unlike that man, GWB, he probably would be so cowardly that if there was a draft he would move to Canada, heheheh.

What I am saying is that we need to really try to get negotiations with the Mexican President so that he actually concretely discusses with us what needs to be done to reduce illegal immigration.

In the rise of terrorism throughout the world there is no doubt that they will try to target the border because there is nothing less that they want than to invade Washington D.C and take our country, and make it called the "country which was once great", burn Washington D.C, reeinvent our education system, or the other question posed is whether they just hate the current administration and will get along with the next administration.

So, okay, you swore, does that make you feel better?
They don't want anything to be done because we pretty much take in their poor.
So, we shouldn't. America should be a country safe of these immigrants. If someone, from another house, came into your home, and broke into your home illegally would you accept it?
It has nothing to do with administrations. It has to do with our entire country and our entire government.
Well, we need to get back our credability, so that we don't have go through that.

So, I am back for the meantime.

I recommend a few changes with national security.

Again I am liberal, I am not conservative. Conservatives don't want change with the country they want to stop change.

We should advance research evolution, and we should have a separate advancment for faith, and for people who want to be immersed in faith, we will have a separate study group for people who want to look at faith.

I cannot stand how many people generalize democrats.

The moment I am in office I will change the view of Democrats, I will make sure that we don't fight wars that we are not supposed to be fighting, and I will let the gradual truth out when I am allowed to disclose information to the public, and believe me, I will let it known what the truth is and the idea of what the government is about to the general public.
I will solve most problems, and I will make sure that we are safe.

I guess Maverick thinks he can win some people over by preaching about something completely unrelated to policy. I'm so happy that my president decided that people choose to be gay. Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

I propose that we stop relying on gas and natural gas and any sort of gas substance and that we create a new alien propulsion system so that we cannot rely on gas more further and that all of these oil companies will go obsolete.
The alien propulsion system we would be making would be a fast, clean way of getting around and it would satisfy anyone.

No disrespect intended Maverickhunter, but this claim seems a little simplistic. If we could just snap our fingers and do such a thing, wouldn't one of our dying American auto companies have done it to save themselves?
The technologies which are immediately available to us for development and deployment to address the energy and environmental concerns we face are imperfect and we will have to be willing to accept modest improvements at first and pursue further developments at an ambitious but realistic pace.
My question is, can you provide an estimate with at least some basis of what level of advancement in this field may be possible and how much money it would cost? I obviously don't expect a 500 page report certified by accountants and engineers etc, I just want to know what kind of technology we are talking about and how much projects of similar nature and scope tend to cost so that we can really discuss this as a potential policy, not just as a daydream.

I didn't say it necessarily had to be a day dream. What I said was that you are being extremely vague and that it would be helpful if you would at least allude to a few promising but as of yet unmastered technologies which may serve this purpose and given a rough estimate of how much it might cost to develop them.
You refer to it as "alien technology". Are you suggesting that we go find some aliens and carjack them? (And if so, pretty, pretty please with sugar on top let me go on the mission)
What exactly do you think we can get a prototype of within 10 years? A safe nuclear reactor that can work in an affordable civilian vehicle, perhaps along the lines of the "quantum nucleonic generator" that has been discussed as a possible power plant for UAVs? Or are you talking zero-point? Or perhaps a genetic hyrbidization of cheetah and horse that could achieve freeway speeds and get 400 miles per feedbag?
Im not asking you to give me a blueprint, I'm just asking if you have any clue at all what you are talking about.
Forgive me for this next part but Clint Eastwood must speak...
Well, do ya, punk? (don't blow up on me brother, you now I'm playin)
