I am running for President.

[12th Doctor]

I can no longer support KEmp.  The new Constitution is nearly done, we don't need him anymore.  I cannot support his domestic agenda.  Thusly, I am hear to anounce my write in candidacy.  If anyone I see fit volunteers to be th Vice-President for my ticket, I will accept.  Politics will not be the primary consideration for my selection.

I expect no endorsments, and I do not expect to win.  I am doing this because of my recent realizations.  We crowned KEmp too early.  In that asspect, we all failed the people we are supposed to represent.  I will never make that mistake again.

Good Night and God Bless Atlasia.

I really hope you reconsider. This could swing the election to Al or Lewis.

Hopefully Al

Well, Super, good luck.  I think you have good enough reasons to do this.

I want to ask that anyone who wishes to vote Supersoulty first preference, please keep KEmp in second preference.  Thanks to preferential voting, there's not much harm in anyone running.  This is the first time I've been glad we had that stupid preferential system.

Well, thank you John and I am sorry, but this most recent supreme court decision is the final straw.  I cannot, will not stand for it.  He has the gual to produce such crap and claim that there is no political motivation behind it.

It is a blatant lie and he insults my intellegence by saying otherwise.

Is the ballot deadline expired? Will you be a write-in candidate?

Yes, I announced that I thought.

[12th Doctor]

Are you going to have a Vice-President to write-in with you?

Thanks for the support, and I hope that a quality poster will sign on for the slot.

Well that kills my shot huh?

Not at all, I also stated that politics were not a consideration.

You are acting like such a child.  Your bill gets struck down, so you won't vote for me, and you run yourself.  I'm sorry, but I am not going to pander to special interests in ANY court cases just to increase my popularity on this forum.

his is only the last in a long line of disagreements.  I acctully came to the conclusion before this that my support for you might not last til election day.  I figured that there was no better time than now to do this.

But don't worry Kemp. you'll win, regardless of how I feel, there are enough people to push you over the top.  This is not just a bill.  This is a severe injustice that has been done.  Most people on this forum can recongnize this.  If the Contitution ha said that my law was unconstitutional, I would have been content, but it did not.  The decision that it was made was purely political.  The least you can do is admit to that fact.

At anyrate, you can say that I'm am being childish, personally, I don't really care.  As I alluded to in another post, I am only doing what makes this thing fun and exciting and jumping in now will at least lend some excitment to a ran that was essencially over a month ago and with no good cause.

I am sorry that ypu are taking this so personally, I really am.  I'll drop out if what I did is so offensive to you.

Seems to me, based on the opinions expressed on the ruling, that most forum members do not take this as an injustice. What I think this is really about is that the bill in question was your 'baby' so to speak - you put a lot of time and work into it, and when it got shot down you got very upset. Perfectly understandable, and I don't begrudge you for it, but I feel you are acting irrationally. Personally I'm suprised you've been acting the way you have. If you wish to fight our decision, that's fine and understandable, just try to be calm and rational about it.

At first, my arguments were calm and rational.  those were laughed off and regarded as "incorrect" that was when I got offended.

Not to mention the fact that I find it to be a serious offense to the spirit of the game.

What really set me off, however, was the notion that the decision was not ideologically motivated.  It clearly was, as most other justices would have ruled the other way.  It clearly seems that the Consitution alludes the the fact that the bill was Constitutional, even if the spending metioned was not specifically mentioned.  The government provides for the "General Welfare".  Regardless of what the powers act says specifically, those ideas that are expressed at the begining of the Constitution still take precedent.  That was the criteria that you should have used to interpriet the bill and the "Powers" Act.  Had you done so, it would have been obvious that my bill was indeed, in the spirit of the Constitution.  

I'm less angry now then I was last night.  Now I am just disappointed with what happened.  I think that your ruling not only violated the spirit of the Constitution, but also the spirit of the game.

Nothing I say will reverse the decision, and when KEmp wins, he will only nominate someone who will be of like mind.

If the bill had failed in Congress or vetoed by the President, I would have been resigned to the fact that I lost.  I didn't lose.  I won.  And it was hard.  After the game was over, three people went into a room, two came out and made a decision about the rules that is in line with their ideological beliefs.  Of course I feel that there might be an alterior motive.  Of course I am disappointed.  You fought me very hard on this before you were a justice and you used a technicallity to kill a bill that you never liked.  Why not just admit that?  Believe it or not, I would rather know that than have you lie to me.
