I'd rather we elect a dictator for life backed up with a powerful Congress who appoints the Judiciary and has veto powers over the dictator with a 3/5ths majority.

So you can vote for the guy calling for a dictatorship...or you can vote for me. Normally I would come up with a quip here, but there is nothing funny about this election. That being said...

Yeah, it won't happen so it's useless to bring other stuff in from outside of fantasy politics to try and slander your opponant.

The definition of Slander:  Oral communication of false statements injurious to a person's reputation.

I said nothing false, I simply quoted my opponent on a post he made about election terms. Also, because this is fantasy politics - this means that any posts out side of this section of the website have no validity?

No, you are misinterpreting Master Jedi.

MJ definition of Slander: Anything that is against Master Jedi and his ideas.

You'll notice that he tends to be intolerant of disagreement, especially on issues he is passionate about (note the legislation he plans to introduce to bar citizens from lobbying senators during vote-the crucial moment to win support).

I'll just disregard jeruselam's attack. My definition of slander here: Using statements that come from areas outside of fantasy politics that have no meaning here that don't take into account his former Senate service.

Lobby your point when you'd be allowed to then. If you make it once and they don't agree with you I doubt they'll change just because you're doing it when the vote is going on.

I'm actually very calm, and kinda laughing/smiling, just like the smily after this sentence. Smiley  I was just saying why it was a bad idea. Smiley

That picture's exactly what I think when I see any one of your posts.

And we've gone through this before, I strongly doubt that it will influence any votes.

No, but it probably should.  I mean, look at the quote on your sig about a black woman.  THAT should be enough to influence the votes of all non-bigoted voters, anyway.  Just saying you don't like someone is good enough; calling someone a N-word is pretty low.
