Do you have any reason to defend him, apart from the fact he's your friend ?

ah let me see....

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

...YES, Antonio, I do.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Thats how its done Mechaman.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

In my first entry I will address the hypocrisy of the secret police that were too busy burning down AASP headquarters to address the zombie hordes of the Atlasian Reform Coalition.

Thanks for proving my point MasterJedi.
For those of you wondering what MJ did he edited out the horrible hateful word "Retard" and replaced it with "Reform" while other posters on this website are currently getting away with saying the F word.

As I explained to you in the PM I just sent, reported post with language innapropriate by forum rules. I can't read every post, if others report other issues of language I'll deal with them. Heck, Hamilton was brown nosing and reported it. Everyone knows my feelings on him, if I don't see it and it's reported I'll deal with it.

And please stop spamming the threads guys.

Alright fine Jedi, I will accept that in some region the "R" word is an evil vicious profanity on par with the "F" word.

That was actually pretty funny MJ, I can't lie.

You still don't get it. He did it, because I reported you.

Still funny.
And I got it, but he still was the one who did the edit so that makes him the owner of the funny and not you! Haha!

But it was my idea, though


Just kidding. I don't seek ownership of "funnys". I seek ownership of much more important things.

In the upcoming January regional inititives I would like to work with Gov. Brandon H to solve this issue and improve the region.

JBrase is today's lucky winner of the GM kudos award.

Do you think you might be able to provide a little detail on just where the Southeast has fail to follow statutes so Brandonh and Jbrase know what to tackle first?

There are zones in the Southeast that essentially rule by local law and eschew any higher forms of governance. It is less of a "here or there" issue, so much as a lax policy matter. Fostering an environment where such activities are permitted in an already autonomous-minded region can create these sort of conditions. There need to be stricter tax enforcement policies, as well as possibly some sort of tax amnesty program (see what the Mideast passed in a recent Assembly session), to avoid the predicted "lower-than-expected tax revenue" and a resulting budget deficit.

I meant in GM thread, so as to not clutter up Antonio's thread.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would respond more forcefully but with respect to your personal circumstances, Isaac, I won't. There are however some flaws with your analysis.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

A man of great promise and yet had such flaws that made him a danger to the game. I am so glad to see that my mistake has finally been dealt with.

It is so very clear that Hamilton has a post July centric view of things. Sure he read up on the past but he didn't see or feal it first hand. Especially when talking about making the game an exclusive club. It was his friends in the LNF that would have achieved that had they had there way.

Also, Hamilton pulling this scape goat gig is just cute. Considering I have been nothing but absolutely clear that Hamilton wasn't the only one recruiting zombies into the RPP. Tmth was doing before Hamilton and PiT before Tmth. However at least under PiT the zombies weren't intentionall and 90% of the RPP always got out to vote and was eligible compared to now with less then 50% voting and alway 1 or 2 that are ineligible.

Next the RPP is not  "packed with zombies" by choice and we are working to be rid of them to improve internal functionings of the party.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Also, I'm sure he'll read what you just wrote, if he didn't author it himself to have you post for him.

He can't even view the forum because he was IP banned and permanently logged in.

He could go through a proxy of some kind.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well, since Hammy well recalling (inaccurately) our private talks...

Hamilton is a flip-flooper without any ideas who's interested only about being popular and about commanding naive people. Only reason he turned to guys like Libertas and many other (with exceptions of course) like him in ARC was that they were willing to follow him.

Too bad, guys, you don't know that during Autumn Hamilton had diffrent ideas and was talking to me about creating a Social Democratic Party, also wanting Antonio to be in.

So much for ideas of your gone flip-flooping boss.

That must of been what he meant when he said that if Duke didn't except PiT's rulling on the name change vote, he would leave and form his own party. He was not a Team player and wanted to have everything his way.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I fell asleep after the first few lines. Must not be that important.

If Xahar wants to preference all the levels of Hell from Dante's Divine Comedy he should be able to too.

LONG LIVE SOUTH PARK CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Antonio, given the fact that the vast majority of Atlasians are American, I don't see a problem with looking at it from the American political spectrum.

That means nothing. The political spectrum of a nation shall be determined by the composition of its electorate, and since Atlasia's is more to the left than America's, you can't use the same ideological categories.

As for your comment, Antonio, it's ironic you mention the RPP should stop opposing the financial bills, because I think our current delegation (myself and Yankee) actually are a bit more pragmatic than our past candidates. Hell, I failed to get votes from several of my party members because I'm too "liberal" in my politics, and I got better preferences from the DA than I did from the ARC (which may show either that I'm not a hard-right winger, or that they were just told by Hamilton that I was some right winged authoritarian, who knows.)

I wasn't criticing you or the RPP in particular. Actually, I think you're following a good path in these days (DWTL's crushing made you a lot of good, I think). If this trend is confirmed, maybe you'll be rewarded in next cycles.

Still, my point remains : the parties need to adapt themselves to the electorate and not the contrary. Complaining about the election results makes no sense. Instead, the Atlasian right need to stop ignoring them and change somewhat if it wants elections to be less "boring". The problem exists, but the solution is up to you.

Yes you were, you don't even know what RPP stands for and frankly, very few among the left actually do.

LONG LIVE SOUTH PARK CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trolls

The Smiley face won't cut it for me. DON'T EVER CALL ME A TROLL AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.) I voted for the Stimulus. I regret doing so, but I did.
2.) I voted to raise the minimum wage.
3.) I voted to extend loans to Small Business.

I did vote against Tax hike act and I did vote against the Health Care bill, and I am glad I did.


I am getting sick and tired of Euro-Socialist, leftists and American Liberals interpretting what the god damn RPP stands for and claiming we are a "Far Right" party when they haven't got a clue. The RPP has consistently stood for two main themes.

1) Preservation of Regional Authority and Regional Senate seats

2) Reductions in the size of Gov't at all levels.

We have in fact compromised to seek our primary goal in the past. Meeker was a member of the RPP way back when because at the time he was Pro-Region. Ben was part of this party. We have never advocated extremist right wing views by any definition. Certainly certain members have, but as I have stressed time and time again one members view do not, I repeat do not represents the entire party.

Why do we need to change our primary tenet of Regional rights when a strong contingent support Regional Preservation including a good number in the JCP and DA.

Granted the politics of become Left versus right but the reason we have sought to remain undefined as a party in terms of ideology was to prevent that from hampering us.

The Ghost of both DWTL and Hamilton is still hanging over this party because in the mind of so many leftists here they associated the two of them with facists and once that occurs, there is no growing back. Its the left that needs to become more open minded here. We have been all along. You just weren't paying attention.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

How long has this party system been in place? Almost a year and a half, right?

Hasn't the JCP held the presidency the entire time and won every national election since?

Well, if you define "every election" as 2 for 2, with the first one being a contested tie.

bgwah served two terms. Also, Bacon King, Marokai Blue, and Fritz won national special elections, something every other party has failed to do.

Franzl did win a special election DA over Brandonh in March 2009.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I wonder what would happen if I mention a certain conversation that occured between Duke and Tmth one sunny day. Nah, I ain't that mean. Am I?

For the record, I had 8 confirmed votes before Tmth left the race for Chairmen. Considering turnout would have been between 12 and 18. I would say I had an advantage. Most of Tmth's vaunted Mideast army was already gone, and I had people from that region confirmed to support me. I put 110% effort in that. Too bad, I didn't get to test my strength.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

On further note, I was not the leadership candidate, I criticized DWTL and others heavilly and made it clear things would change under my watch. The reason you had the whole leadership opposed to you was a combination of factors, one was a pledge to purge DWTL and his allies, another was fear that they two would be deemed as such. Another was they didn't trust your motives and thus feared where you would have taken us.

I ran to be the chairmen no one loved but the one everyone could support. The one that would give the tought medicine to people in the party when they needed it. And more importantly the one that wouldn't start ripping the party to pieces. Yet in spite of this, we still faced a big exodus. Why? A lack of faith in me, for one, Yes I am selfish enough to say that, another was fear of being powerless(a selffulling prohecy), and lastly aggressive poaching of our members by the DA and the then ARC. There are still some that I frankly shake my head at the nonesenical reasons for leaving.
