Get on the 'Gates for President' Bandwagon

[Slimy]

netbuzz writes

"Dilbert's Scott Adams kicked off the idea in his November 19th blog post, saying there isn't anything wrong with this country that President Bill Gates couldn't cure in less time than it takes to get a new operating system out the door. Today, the idea is moving forward with a brand-new 'Bill Gates for President' Web site. Adams is also back on the campaign trail, flogging the site and Gates' candidacy."

A blog post at Network World includes a lot of eye-rolling about this idea, but neither Adams nor the folks at the 'Gates for President' website seem to be taking this lightly.

Bill Gates for President

Slashdot

[torrentthief]

i think he would be a good president, cant get much worse than bush!

he donates alot to charity and is very intelligent (unlike bush). its a win win situation imo!

[PL_ Veteran]

Three words:

Better than Bush!

[MulletRobZ]

Put aside my constant grudge against Microsoft and hell yeah, I'd definitely approve of Bill Gates being President of the United States! :D After all, he does have a good reputation for being a philanthropist.

they choose the president that is gonna win .. they never get elected for real by the population.

that's a fact and it happened two terms in a row by frauded election. Even the 2006 partial was frauded but the dem win is meaningless in reallity they are even protecting him from impeachment. If you heard the oposite, well it's lies over and over again. If he would have to be impeached, and he should with all the rest of these cowards, it would have been done a long time ago.

When I said they .. I mean all the corporate elites supporting them along with these secret societies

Not 100% fixed, but "they" certainly alter a sway.

I don't think Gates has the political asperations yet though. I see him being able to do more of what he wants in his current position, than as president. I honestly feel it would harm Microsoft in some ways too.

Microsoft already controls the US government. Might as well make it official, eh? :p

My thoughts exactly! Bush is a moron, how in the world did he get re-elected for a 2nd term :o

Hell yeah, i would give him my vote

[Stephen Veteran]

yeah erm lets not

[remix17]

He gets my vote.

[Colin-uk Veteran]

I think most people would vote for gates just to see it happen :rofl:

[Snakehn]

Well, they elected "the terminator" as Governor of California, and yet, re-elected bush, can't get any worst than that.

Gates got my vote ;)

[Spielo]

Who on earth could possibly think this is a good idea?

What's next? Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor of California? If that happened, US politics would go from being a joke to a farce. :rolleyes:

EDIT: My post would have been better had it arrived 2 minute earlier.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. and people complain about "security" now. yes, let's let brother bill have a crack at it.

[*John*]

Oh yes this would be excellent! Have the biggest corporate ###### ever, in charge of the most influencial country in the world. Everyone wave bye bye to your rights :whistle:

Hopefully Gates laughes this off soon enough instead of getting ideas :rolleyes:

[strekship]

He would be better than what we currently have.

[L3thal Veteran]

I would vote him in. He has the brains, the charisma, the personality, and the heart to step in and make a difference. However, I highly doubt he would even consider such a thing.

[hotdog666al]

Does he actually have any understanding of how to be a president?

WTF MACS?

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

he probably won't listen to all us internet geeks for him being president.. hes got microsoft on the go, he doesn't need the world too.

he wouldn't know where to begin to start being president. I'm pro gates, but he's not fit to be a president.. the US needs an idiot.... someone dumber like borat

Does he actually have any understanding of how to be a president?

WTF MACS?

he actually owns part of Apple, and helps build up apple's popularity. he doesn't want to dominate and be all secretive about computers, hes trying to share his gift with the world, and help the computer industry prosper.

[nvllsvm]

Hmm, that would be interesting for Gates to be president. Not sure if I would vote for him, I could care less that he is famous and I care more about the actual politics.

Man, you are really on an Anti-Microsoft campaign this evening :whistle:

No. I like and use Microsoft software. I also have a lot of respect for Bill Gates's business acumen. However, I will laugh if someone calls Bill Gates "charasmatic", and I will not support WGA.

To call that "anti-microsoft" is almost demonstrating a troll like fanboyism imo. :whistle:
