See, if McAfee says the right things, I think he'd end up doing well - as well as a fringe/joke candidate could do. He's pro-gun and quite anti-government. If Trump can do it, why not McAfee?<p>And the scrolling seems off or hijacked in some way, on the "How to Vote" page, it's the digital equivalent of having your breaks cut.
Wait, THIS John McAfee?<p>[NSFW, Rated "R"] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpRvaQsGIY8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpRvaQsGIY8</a>
...should I feel guilty for fantasizing an apocalyptic WW3 scenario with the USA lead by MacAfee and Russia led by Putin? the world would turn to ashes, but boy it would be fun to watch :)
Apparently the ultimate way now to show off how you have money to throw away (or other people's money to throw away) is to run for president.<p>It is the ultimate conspicuous consumption item.
I don't know what problem people have with him... Imagine he was serious about the campaign...<p>>He is a murderer<p>Well that is still not proven and the government of Belize is not exactly the most trustworthy entity about this, so in no way is it this clear. Even if it was true, let's face it - after their presidency, every former president is a murderer.<p>>He is a lunatic and insane<p>And Hillary Clinton is not?<p>>He is paranoid<p>Well at least he's more paranoid about the STATE than about the CITIZENS so that would sway things around a bit.<p>However, I'd love to hear his stance on abortion, gay marriage, etc. I presume he'd be quite liberal, again, a point for him.<p>But yeah, sadly, he doesn't even stand a chance.
I must say I find his speech in the linked video [1] very well written. I certainly was more used to his usual erratic behavior.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=246&v=sMz6GV3b1ys" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=246&v=sMz6GV3b1ys</a>
I could get behind McAfee. I think I agree with him on his views on privacy and surveillance at least. I just need to know more about where he stands on foreign policy, taxation, and a few other things.<p>But I still think he'd have been better off pursuing the nomination of an established (albeit "3rd party") party than starting a new party from scratch this late in the game. That is, unless his ideology truly is completely different from that of any existing party.
I made a news timeline of McAfee if you'd like to catch up: <a href="http://newslines.org/john-mcafee/?order=ASC" rel="nofollow">http://newslines.org/john-mcafee/?order=ASC</a>
The funny thing is that whomever becomes head of state, most of the system and it's influential players stay the same. Basically, the way I see it nothing changes, just a different face on the news.
He has become a double entendre parody of himself, it's really the quite an amusing play on the state of the American political system.<p>While I think that Stephen Colbert could make a fine president, John McAfee; while playing a similar game, could not.
Already enough megalomaniacs in politics...<p>Still, I would probably vote for anyone who isn't a warmonger (tragically, doesn't seem like either major party will nominate someone who fits this criterion)
Right, and his running mate will be Hans Reiser? Seriously, last I heard, the guy is pretty clearly a murderer. Or lunatic. Or both. <a href="http://memeburn.com/2013/01/john-mccafee-anti-virus-pioneer-escaped-murder-suspect-master-spy/" rel="nofollow">http://memeburn.com/2013/01/john-mccafee-anti-virus-pioneer-...</a> etc. etc.
