I vote for me.
Anyone else?
I promise everything that you want, I inhale, I did have sexual relations with that woman, no quib pro quo because I don't know what that even means, and no new taxes. As a matter of fact, no taxes at all.
What do you want. Tally your vote for me, make a list, I'll see that it gets done.
Steve

Since I assume you will of course be banning snowboarding you got my vote. Are Canucks allowed to vote in your poll?

I didn't know we still elected presidents... I thought we just got the Supreme Court to pick whoever they wanted.
A climber for president, eh? Could be worse... could have an actor- oh wait, we had one of those already.
Yeah, I'm one of those independent liberal types, could you tell?

Who is going to be your VP???
But the really important question is are you going to have a climbing wall inside the white house or in the rose garden???? Or maybe you are just going to schedule important meetings to take place at various crags???
Go ahead and count my vote!

Well, Steve, guess you'd be the first US president with a harem.
You DID mean president of the US, right? Not, like, president of the local gardening club or something....

I will be a president for the people, so...
kman,
Sorry. No banning of snowboards. However, I will create new ski areas, ones specifically for skiers, ones specifically for snowboarders, and the rest will be community ski areas. This way, each "group" can have their privacy, or gather together for camaraderie.
Anne,
And to think I was going to appoint a special national Alcohol Spokesperson. Oh, well, too bad. Anyone else want the job? Comes with a hell of a benefits package.
whitenight,
I have several ideas for VP. The list is as follows: Camhead, oldandintheway, coach, clymbr_chk, and pinnaclechick.
Paul,
Now you get the idea.
Darran,
You got it! My goal is to unite Canada and the United States as one so the Yanks and the Canucks can travel freely for climbing, skiing, and other outdoor activities.
Kate,
I don't think I'd be the first pres with a harem. Maybe the first with a publicized harem, but not the first. Yes, of course I meant Pres of the USA.
Anything else? Any other requests? I have a hell of a plan.
Steve

Sounds good. I think we could use a grammar nazi in office. Why? Because of people like this.
That settles it. Paul is VP.
We'll make Becca Secretary of the Treasury and Amber can be my intern.
(and White House Spokesperson)

Oh yeah, almost forgot.
Eric gets to remain MOB, but on a National level now and Harry is going to be appointed National Fitness Administrator so he can remain a "coach".

That's right, and prisons and criminals are wasting far too much of our money and time. As president, I will destroy all prisons and put up rock shops in which gear is at cost, hostels for climbers in which there is no charge, and give back some to our Native Americans who will no longer be known as "Native Americans", but the will be known as "Them slightly darker skinned people with feathers." Or, "Indians". We can vote on that one.
The criminals will be dealt with by you people. Either we send them all to some shitty island that Fance owns or we dump them off in the Middle East and let them deal with it.

sarah, I don't know if steve likes you too much, because of how you attempted to hijack his manage a trois (sp?).
I'll try to put in a good word for you, maybe chief interrogator or something like that.

Bud and Coors will be banned. Miller products will be accepted, but only when everything else is gone.
Yes, marijuana will be legalized.
Climbers will get gear at cost and we will develope a nationally funded organization to keep said manufacturers producing gear.
We will end clear cutting, all climbing areas will be reopened with annual closures to respect "Them darker skinned people with the feathers" religious practices and beliefs. Bolting will only be allowed through a permit system, which will be awarded after our National Climbing Coordinator, Kevin (marxist1) and his staff has inspected the site. Bolt and chain anchor maintenance will still be permitted as long as the park, or governing body, is infomed prior to said maintenance.
All climbers will be incouraged to climb outside their mediums and will be given free guided trips to areas of their choosing to promote it.
Every climber's campground will come complete with an external tapper and a vending machine that dispenses weed and doritos.
Steve
