Presidential Candidates: Why Should We Support You?

I don't mind as long as it isn't the Statist Party, aka the JCP.

Nice, it will help me to chose which candidate I won't vote for...

I hope it's for true, so that you will stop making dumb comments on every post I make.

The perception of 'dumb comments' is mutual, believe me.

I have 10 questions for presidential candidates. Fulfill 7 of these (with proof!) and you have my support.

1. Have you always supported socially libertarian measures?
2. Have you always supported fiscally responsible measures?
3. Do you support free trade?
4. Open borders?
5. Are you opposed to state ownership of industry?
6. Are you a regionalist?
7. Are you against the death penalty?
8. Do you support liberalising the age of consent?
9. Are you a dove?
10. Do you support the rights of the individual over the collective?

I know I speak here with a strong disposition already stacked against me, but I thank you all nonetheless for allowing me time to speak.

I simply ask, please don't look upon me merely as the "JCP Candidate." Yes, I do identify myself with that party. However, my campaign is not partisan in the slightest; my Vice Presidential candidate is of the Democratic Alliance and my prospective cabinet appointees range across the spectrum from SDP to RPP. I ask that you not make this election a referendum on "one-party control" because, simply, that would be a misstatement of the facts. How can the JCP be an Atlasia controlling "machine" when we don't even have a third of nation's Senators? And anyway, I reiterate that I am not running as a member of my party; I am running for President as a member of Atlasia.

If you look at my tenure as Vice President, you will see that I am a man who stands up for this nation whenever and however I am called to do so, whether that be the micromanagement of the Senate or the successful prevention of New Mexico's secession. If elected President I will always behave with such a focus on the tasks at hand. I will promote an active Atlasia by serving as an example to the nation.

Ideologically, to know where I stand, one simply needs to look at my extensive record in the Atlasian Senate. Along with Former Senator PiT I masterminded an overhaul of Atlasian drug laws, decriminalizing a wide variety of substances and effectively ending the war on drugs. I also singlehandedly prevented the passage of a Federal Carbon Cap and Trade bill, injecting moments before it's apparent passage to describe in detail how horribly inefficient and pointless the system would be, garnering enough support to defeat the measure.

You can also see my small-government, no-nonsense approach to governing through the Southeast's initiative process. Over the last year I've introduced successful initiatives prohibiting traffic cameras, instituting new drug laws in step with Federal statute, and eliminating speed limits on rural highways, among many other policies.

Ultimately, I consider myself to be socially minimalist while economically pragmatic. Simply look over at my Political Matrix score if you wish to see that quantified. Your party may not agree with me on every individual issue, but I hope that by demonstrating my history of activity and my record of experience through all layers of Atlasian government, that I have shown myself to be capable, competent, and qualified. As such, I humbly ask for your party's nomination this Presidential election.

Thank you for allowing me to speak, and Dave bless.

I actually do like what you've done quite alot. You're a true credit to the JCP and a real liberal in the literal sense of the word.

Bacon King, do you support the HAEV?

This anti-newbie inquisition is a crucial issue for many of us who have been personally affected by false charges of being "zombies" in the past.

Actually, yeah, this is pretty important too.
