I'm sure he seems like an extremists from the far, far right, but you're looking at his positions way too relatively.
If I were president, the first day in office I would have ordered my commanders to start evacuating troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, and that they need to be completely finished in no more than 3 months. I would have put my people to work drafting single-payer healthcare instantly and would want it in the House within maybe a week. And I'd decimate anyone that stood in the way of that legislation. I'd have appointed an independent investigator with unprecedented access to find out everyone that was involved with stolen elections, the lies leading up to the war, rendition, torture, eavesdropping, and any other criminal activity in the previous administration. Then I'd appoint the most blood-thirsty prosecutor in history to go after anyone implicated. I'd undo the shitty deregulation started during the Reagan administration so that we have better control over the ignorant gamblers in the banking and investment markets. I'd stop the war on terror completely and set a new agenda to bring economic stability to countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan so that their middle class can be a stronger force for peace and stability. I'd push the FCC to put the fairness doctrine back in place.
Then on day 2, I'd get to work on reforming and growing important social programs as well as ending the failed wars on drugs and crime.
Do you see how incredibly different this is than what President Obama is doing? I'd have people at Fox News hanging themselves within 24 hours of being sworn in and I'd be assassinated probably in my first week. Because I'm a progressive.
