Colbert Running for President

I think we all remember Colbert's views on cannabis.

"So, you're saying, Steve, that if I come over...you can get me pot?"
(not actual quote)

Awww shit! Here comes a wrench in the works! Independent aka Republican, maybe?

OK. The deal is he is running, but only on the South Carolina primary ballot. I am almost positive you have to run as you are registered.... this means he is on the ballot as an Independent.

Ya know....If he pulls votes away from all of the Billionaire Career Politicians then I say HELL YEA!!!!

We as Americans have gotten away from the "For the People, By the People" mentality and all but handed the power to these life long politicians. We need more average Joe's, like you and me, in the offices.

GET ACTIVE. TAKE OVER YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. SCHOOL BOARDS. TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENTS. ZONING BOARDS. Could you imagine what you could do if you suddenly won your local election for TREASURER?!?!?!?!?!?

and the funniest part of this is that most of the time (especially in small towns) NOBODY RUNS AGAINST THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION and A LOT OF COOL PEOPLE DON'T VOTE. A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T VOTE.

SPICE IT UP FOLKS....IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO CREATE CHANGE.

START LOCAL. ~ MOVE TO COUNTY. ~ ADVANCE TO STATE. ~ GO NATIONAL. ~ TAKE BACK YOUR FREEDOMS~

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL

The guy has probably no experience whatsoever in that field, but he sure the hell seems to understand all that is wrong with this country, that's a win in my book.

I think so many people are afraid of change, we have AFAIK never had a president like this before so we have no idea how it would be, it could be a world changing thing, but people are afraid to let someone like that run this place for just a few years to test the waters for some reason.

I think of it like this: picture the US as a pizza restaurant or some other food place where managers continue to be elected to run the joint while the common workers know how the place is really run and could do it better blindfolded.

^^ Watch all three parts, it takes balls to do that to the presidents face. I think he would do good for this country. I will vote for him hopefully he wins.

He is running in South Carolina as a 'favorite son'.

I don't expect to see his name on the ballot though. (SC resident)

^ Whats a favorite son?

If only.. =\

Colbert would legalize marijuanna, no doubt about that. =P

I definitely would not be surprised if he won. Know why? Because it's stupid and people are stupid. You elect a comedian to run the country?

C'mon now. This isn't Man of the Year.

I like how he paid to run as a democrat with a personal check. He chose to run as Democrat because it cost some ridiculous amount to register as Republican and because nobody takes Independent candidates seriously. haha.
