First of all the USA is not a theocracy! It is a constitutional republic! This means that any president of these United States of America has a deeper obligation than just ensuring he is 'Anti-Sodomite, Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Anti-Blasphemy, Anti-Porn, Anti-Fornication, Anti-Drug, Anti-Adultery.' He(or she) has to ensure people have a good life instead of a mere existance! He(or she) has to ensure that people have meaningful employment, and furthermore take a good portion of the gains from their employment home to their families and dependants (meaning NO 90% TAXES)! He(she) has to ensure the people are safe from domestic and foreign threats. Has to ensure their surroundings are kept safe for future generations. Has to ensure that the military is potent enough to act as a viable deterrent (as well as to whoop @$$ whenever necessary). Has to ensure the economy is not only strong and stable but also capable of growing at a rate sustainable to numerical increases to the populace. ETC ETC ETC ETC!
Thus essentially the essence of a president is more, much more, than your rather myopic (sorry) list of ensuring the WhiteHouse is 'Anti-Sodomite, Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Anti-Blasphemy, Anti-Porn, Anti-Fornication, Anti-Drug, Anti-Adultery.' I agree with most of those assertations (as long as the WhiteHouse is not ASSERTING itself in a quasi-dictatorial manner ...for example imprisoning anyone who does not want to own a gun). I see your point and concur with parts of it.
However when you say that is your only criteria, and you would even put in a president who would tax 90% of peoples income i wonder if you wrote that post as some sort of jest or what. 90%, that translates to a person who makes 100,000 taking home only 10,000 to his family ...and a person who makes 10,000 taking home only 1,000 dollars to live on for a YEAR!
I hope that you were just trying to sue a crude analogy to make a point because honestly speaking that list is a little asinine. I too would want a president who is anti-child molestation, anti-crime, anti-drug, anti-corruption, pro-life etc etc ...BUT i would NOT vote for him if he also at the same time wants to increase taxation (to 90% as you stated), decrease the military, implement socialist programs, conduct public beheadings and rip apart the constitution! Definitely not.
My check list for a viable president would be considerably more comprehensive than yours. And although i respect your point of view i sincerely pray most Americans do not think like you do and will think twice before electing a moster who would destroy what makes the USA the USa just because he says he is pro-Gun! That would be like inviting a serial killer into your home and letting him crash at your daughter's bedroom just because he told you that he loved baby rabbits and always flossed before he went to bed!
Asinine!
I want a righteous president ....but i also want a president.
