Crazy Campaign Promises Thread

**Crazed Rabbit** · 12-23-2007, 22:15

Here's a thread to collect the crazy campaign promises sure to start coming out now that we're almost at the beginnings of the primaries in the US. Although I'm starting this with US politics, I want all people to feel free to include crazy campaign promises from their respective countries.

To kick it off, Hillary's inane and illogical promise regarding oil prices:

Elect me and oil prices instantly drop, says Hillary Clinton in Iowa
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Hillary Clinton predicted Saturday that just electing her President will cut the price of oil.

The single most insane, outrageous thing I've yet heard came in one of the first couple of Republican debates, Mitt Romney's "I'd double Gitmo!"

This puts him at odds with everyone, including President Bush, who has stated that he would like to close Guantanamo. A very strange promise indeed.

Here in Portugal every time there is an election for the Portuguese Presidency there is always a comedian/musician that says he´s gonna run if he can gather enough signatures (you need 7500 signatures to run)....he once actually got enough but they drummed up some bs technicality to stop him from getting on the ballot

I sure as hell would vote for him....at least with him he´s honest about the fact he´s lying with every teeth in his mouth

My favorite campaign promisse - "Vote Vieira - Free Fellatio for everybody!"
..at last a policy I can get behind

"Vieira - Working for the Nation!"

How about Tanja Derveaux...

"Don't vote me, or I'll bite!

And off course, it all started with this one:

"I promise you 400.000 jobs."

It started with our response to incredible claims that were made by other parties in Belgium, several parties promised new job opportunities in ridiculous amounts. We responded with a parody campaign for which I posed naked and promised our voters 400.000 new jobs.

This national campaign resulted in international media attention and I received hundreds of e-mails asking for 400,000 blowjobs. If this would get us even more media attention, I'm willing to give 40,000 blowjobs to make the statement.

According to my planning this would take me 500 days to tour around the world, visiting all the ones who signed up for a blowjob on this page, giving 80 blowjobs per day. So the offer is limited, sign up while you still can.
