Please Point Out

Red Button (NY) - his lack of posts has so amused me, I'm linking them. Last active Nov 27th, which was in itself the act of registration. A grand total of 22 posts accumulated in the astounding time frame of 52 minutes.

Another one I suspected was only here to vote. I guess that is the case.

Hmmm...after reviewing his posts, he didn't even vote. Odd. However, he did come in the middle of the surge of Dem registrations when IrishDem wasn't looking great in terms of re-election. I'm still suspicious.

Could this be *gasp* a second fraudulent registration?

It's a sad situation when I have to consider that a possibility. I still don't believe we got the full story on GirlGoneWild.

Still, it makes no sense not to have the guy vote in that case. Also, when they revealed GirlGoneWild they could just as well have revealed that guy too...perhaps he's actually the only person NOT part of an AFDNC scheme, legit or not, to register...that's the only reasonable explanation behind him not voting.

If IrishDem had admitted to making two accounts, I think he knows he'd be in for much, much more criticism.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not saying that Red Button was IrishDem but I think the suggestion is justified.

Do we really need to bring it up again?  You all won the election, IrishDem screwed up, case closed.  It isn't worth discussing again.

Ah yes another Move On Dem. You can't always just move on from an issue that is unsettling for you. It happened and if you didn't want as much critisism for the Phillygate scandel you should have denounced IrishDem as soon as you had known about the allegations and possibly consider some sort of intra party action against IrishDem, ie expulation from the party.

Anyway we discuss this so we can find ways to catch people like IrishDem before their fraudulent voters vote. If you don't talk about it then you don't see what happened and how to stop it. So unless you want to see it continue I think it is good that we continue to bring it up.

And now, the same thing for the Republicans...

Very Well.

Moorein08 (ID) - Last active Dec 11th; Only a few posts when he was here (grand total of 21)

Mr Fresh (ID) - Was this guy resurrected simply to vote? I think so.

ncjake (FL) - Last active Oct 29th; Sole fantasy contribution was to register.

NHPolitico (NH) - Rather inactive since the beginning of December; Its been a while since he was active here.

Rococo04 (OH) - Last post on Dec 14th; Personally, I don't remember this guy that much.

Sulfur (NH) - Last 2 posts: Jan 8th, Nov 17th; Was actually active here when he was posting.

Wiseguy (FL) - Total of 7 fantasy posts since registering on Dec 14th, though not very active elsewhere.

Thats 9 totally inactive out of 27 registered Republicans. There's probably about the same number right now since MHS2002 and CheeseWhiz have moved to other parties, and the Republicans probably have picked up a few registrants.

So, here's my conclusion:

The two major parties translating into Atlasia will have a third of its membership that is deadwood.

At the convention at the end of the month I will call upon the AFRNC to vote to expell these inactive party members from the AFRNC and I call on the AFDNC to do the same. If these "deadwood" members feel the need to return to fantasy politics than they may re-register but until then they should not be a part of a fantasy party.

Geez. We don't need to be burning inactive people at the stake Colin, do we?

I wouldn't mind that when we have the new constitution, it changes the elimination from the voter rolls to one election missed, and not 2.

I never said anything about burning them on the stake but wouldn't you rather see discussion like this ended? If we expel these people from our respective parties we wouldn't have to hear everyone complain that we have all these pocket votes, or "deadwood" voters, or inactives, in our parties.

It was an expression.

Once voters are off the rolls, they are out the the parties, and I support changing the number of missed elections to be off the rolls to 1, instead of 2.

That sounds like a good idea.
