2012 Election Game: Campaign Thread

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Bump. Let's see that update!

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

"The President will be engaging in a two-week bus tour with Former Secretary Clinton, Vice-President Biden, and President Clinton. He'll be traveling to every swing state and every leaning state on the map. This campaign won't quit no matter what the polls say. We're gonna prove to the middle class that Barack Obama stands up for them, and Kelly Ayotte just wants to take us back to Bush.

They've been campaigning for 2 years and still don't have any idea what they're gonna do. They're only idea is to give us the same medicine that they were giving out back when I was in High School.

"Looking at November we've got a choice. A choice between one of the original far-right tea party extremists, or the President who pulled our nation back from the brink of disaster. I mean seriously, the only argument that Ayotte and the GOP are making is that "Hey, I know we messed up pretty bad. But that guy hasn't fixed our mess yet. Let us try!"

"Hate to say it, but I love being on the trail again! 4 years ago George Bush and the Republican Party left our country in chaos. Unemployment was skyrocketing, the stock market was crashing, and our deficit was at all time highs. Then President Obama came up to bat, and he hit it outta the park. No, we're not where we need to be. But give him, give us 4 More Years, and we'll finish the job. We've cut the deficit by a trillion over the next decade, we'll cut it even more. We've created 5 Million jobs, we'll keep on doin' it. We can't let Kelly Ayotte and the Republican Party take us back to where we were. We need to keep moving Forward!"

"There's been some flack in the media about what Bill said last week about the Tea Party. I'm not gonna repeat it, I'm sure you've heard about it by now. I don't think the Tea Party base of the Republican Party is stupid or dumb. I just think they're ideas are a little far gone. They want to take us back to the '70s and '80s, with their tax cuts for the rich job creators and whatnot. I'm gonna move us forward.

"How About We Fight for Working Families, Instead of Serving Grover Norquist!"

Sen. Mark Warner

"My fellow Virginians, we have a President who fights for us. In his first few year in office, we've gotten so. Jon work done for working families. We've passed Wall Street Reforms, so those big banks who shattered our economy can't do it again, and have to pay for it. We've passed Health Reform, so no child will be turned away from care because she's already got Cancer. We've brought our economy back from the brink of Republican-initiated destruction. And now they're attacking the President for not doing enough? We'd be getting work done if they'd focus more on governing than fulfilling some pledge to right-wingers like Grover Norquist."

"Now the Republicans are wining about me calling 'em stupid. Really guys? I didn't say you were stupid. I said your ideas we're out there. Now they're saying they're gonna go all out. That's fine. But it would've been great if you went all out to actually help govern the country instead of blocking every bill the President sent to try and get this economy moving. My competitive spirit's coming out, and I ain't even running. Barack Obama isn't running to beat somebody. He's running on his ideas to move our country forward. "

"Don't Just Point Fingers, Get It Done!"

"In times like this, I find my self casting about for someone to blame for Congress' inability to act. I blame the 2 parties for being too far apart to deal. I blame the outside money and special interests who only care about making money for themselves. I blame the White House for not pushing Congress along harder. But then I stop. We can't just keep pointing fingers. We need to get things done. We need to cut our deficit. We need to pass Immigration Reform. We need to creat good-paying, middle class jobs. And Barack Obama has the plan for that. We can get it done. We just need to break the fever that says "let's just block whatever he puts forward." We can do this."

"You Can't Be Bipartisan When The Other Party Refuses You"

"As many of you know, I was once a Republican. I was your Republican Governor for 4 years. Now, when President Obama passed the Stimulus Package back in '09, I applied our states for funds. We had suffered harshly during the recession, and these funds helped. When he came here for a visit to see how things were going, I introduced him, and I gave him a hug. We worked together to make sure those funds we're put to good use, a Democratic President and a Republican Governor. That hug ruined my future in the Republican Party. The President and I had some sharp disagreements, but we both wanted what was best for our country and the state. I left the party because I believe that we can disagree without hating the other guy."

Look in the eyes of the little girl with cancer who can't get kicked of her insurance because it's a pre-existing condition. Look at GM and Ford, who are operating at a profit for the first time in decades because we went in and saved the auto-industry when others were saying Let Detroit Go Bankrupt. Change doesn't happen overnight, but we've accomplished a lot. There is still so much more to do. And that's why we need 4 more years.

"Chris, do you know why Republicans haven't been able to win in New England? T's because their agenda is so far-right, there's no one it appeals to. Just look at the Republican Nominee, who rode in on the Tea Party Wave of 2010. Do we really want a President who's in favor of holding our country and it's debts hostage to get their way? I'm in favor of reducing the deficit in a balanced way. We'll cut unnecessary government programs and raise revenues on those that have enjoyed unnecessary tax cuts at the top."

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Obama Ad #1: "Main-Street"

"We've gone from pulling into our parking lot, and there only being 2 or 3 cars, which was pretty depressing, to having a full parking lot."

"We've been able to add a completely new second shift, we've brought in new employees, and now our factory has a future ahead of it."

"I mean when you look at President Obama's plans, there's no doubt our economy is on track to getting where it needs to be."

"He knows what people need, and that's jobs, and the opportunity to help themselves."

"Stick with this guy, he will move our country FORWARD."

This Ad Shall Run In The States Of Nevada, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire for two weeks.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Whoever runs the better campaign the rest of the way wins. The debates could also decide things. I think the Obama campaign got a little complacent, and the Ayotte campaign has drastically improved in the last few weeks. Christie/Lumine has provided a major boost to the campaign.

Well, in all fairness Clinton1996/Obama's schedules are better, but without Hillary Clinton and a complacent Obama I can see why he is losing voters. About the Debates, it seems Ventura is the only one who has mentioned about trying to get the Commission to include him, does that mean he is out of all debates?

I won't deny it, I did get a bit lazy. I got BaconKing to be Hillary, so I'll PM him later.
On another note, what do y'all think of my ad?

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

I could play as Hillary, just to help Clinton96 if he wants...

Please God.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

- What are the major differences between the candidates in terms of how you would go about creating  new jobs?

"Over the past 4 years, we've gone from shedding 800,000 and 900,000 jobs a month to gaining about 150,000. That's not nearly enough, but we're getting there. But we need someone who will put and keep in place policies that promote middle class growth. That's what I've done in office, and that's what I'll continue to do. I am here to fight for the future of working families. I've pushed to end the practice of outsourcing, and have provide incentives to companies who bring jobs back to our shores. I've put forward a plan, The American JOBs Act, that puts forward billions of dollars to rebuild our failing infrastructure, renovate crumbling schools, put teachers back in the classrooms, and out first responders back on the job. And it's budget neutral. Which means it won't add a dime to the deficit. The difference is, I'll stand up for you; not those at the very top and those who got us into this financial crisis in the first place."

- How you would go about tackling the deficit problem in this country?

"I've put forward a plan to tackle our deficit, in the form of a commission headed by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles. Simpson-Bowles cuts our deficit in a balanced way. Everyone needs some skin in the game. And here's what it does. First of all, we need to make some tough choices on Medicare and Social Security. Some reforms can be made there to save costs, but I will not, it repeat, will NOT, privatize it like my opponent proposes to. I'll raise revenue on those at the very top who've enjoyed the fruits of the Bush-Era Tax Cuts. We'll reform our tax code, closing loopholes for corporations, but lowering rates overall. I'll focus on the long term deficit-reduction, but short-term stimulus to get our economy moving again."

- In terms of reducing the debt, where will you place more emphasis: Increasing revenue or cutting the size of the government?

"As I've stated before, here and on the trail, we need a balanced solution. I've worked with both parties to craft a Grand Bargain to solve our problem. Because no one, Republican, Democrat, or Independent, wants to leave our children trillions of dollars in debt. We can make responsible cuts, but with a scalpel, not a hatchet, as my opponent Senator Ayotte proposes. But we need to realize that we need some revenue too. If we just look across the pond to Britain, we can see that austerity doesn't work. We can't cut our way to prosperity. Which is why I propose letting the 2001 & 2003 Bush Tax Cuts expire for those making above $250,000 as well as instituting the Buffet Rule, because billionaires doesn't need to pay more in taxes than their secretaries.

- Are you supportive of Simpson-Bowles?

"I came out in favor of Simpson-Bowles last year as a blueprint for a Grand Bargain with congress to solve our Debt problem. We need to go at this problem with a surgeon's scalpel, not a butcher's axe. We can look at government programs that need to be cut for wasteful spending and consolidated. But we also need to face the fact that revenue also needs to be raised. We cannot balance the budget on the backs of the poor and the middle class."

- What do you see as the major difference between the candidates on Social Security and other entitlement programs?

"I will not cut Social Security or Medicare. There are too many seniors reliant on these programs to just gut them. If you've paid into these programs, you deserve to get what you've earned. But that doesn't mean some reforms can't be taken. I've proposed converting to Chained CPI and also raising the retirement age. We could also look at raising the income cap on Social Security. My focus in preserving these entitlements, not only for current beneficiaries, but for future generation. It just wouldn't be fair for those of us on stage to get Medicare, but our kids don't have the choice. We can make smart and responsible reforms to these programs without gutting them as my opponents have proposed."

- Conclusion

"I'd like to thank the Debate Commission for allowing us to be here tonight, I'd like to thank [BLANK] for moderating and Senator Ayotte and Governor Ventura for joining me here on stage tonight debating the issues and futures of the American People.
Now I know the last four years haven't been ideal. My hair's a little grayer and I'm a bit more beat up. That Change that we voted for in 2008 didn't happen as fast and as easily as we'd hoped. But it's happening now. Change doesn't happen overnight. It takes work and perseverance.
My opponents want to take us back to where we were. One of them is proposing policies from 1979, the very same policies that got us into the Great Recession in the first place. Neither of them represent the views of working class families.
Over the last four years, we've worked together. We've fought together. We've passed historic Health Care Reform, so no child can be turned away because of a pre-existing condition. We've ended the Iraq War, and now our sons and daughters aren't being sent overseas to die for a war with no purpose. And together, we've pulled an economy back from the brink of collapse. Progress has been made, and we have moved forward. Now I know we aren't there yet, there is so much more to be done. And that's why I need 4 More Years.
I want to build on our strengths. We need to being manufacturing jobs back to our shores by rewarding companies and small businesses that are investing here, not overseas.
We should make sure that we've got the best education system in the world. And that we're retaining our workers for the jobs of tomorrow.
I want to control our own energy by developing oil and natural gas but also the energy sources of the future.
And yes, we should be working to reduce our deficit by cutting spending that we don't need but also by asking the wealthy to do a little bit more so that we can invest in things like research and technology that are the key to a 21st century economy.
In closing, I want you to look forward and ask yourself a question before while you're in the voting booths: Under which candidate will your family do better over the next four years?

Thank You, God Bless You, and God Bless The United States of America."

And I know, as I travel across this state meeting it's citizens and the people who call it home, I know that they do not want to go back to where we started. They see the tide changing, they see manufacturing jobs returning. They see the auto industry more vibrant and moving. They know we're not there yet, but we're working on it. And they want to move Ohio and America Forward."

I know one of them has been up here shaking hands and talking about how they're gonna win Maine. Well I've got some news for them, the great state of Maine is a bastion of moderation and hardwork. They don't vote for ideologues and extremists, they vote to get things done. You guys saw the Republican Primary and have witnessed the Tea Party House.

"This Isn't About Some Ideological Extreme, It's About Fighting For Working Families!"

Sen. Sherrod Brown

"President Obama stands against the extremism of the Republican Party and the Tea Party and fights for working families. We need someone who has a vision for the middle class, and making their lives better and easier. Not providing unnecessary tax cuts for the 1%. He saved the Auto-Industry and manufacturing jobs are slowly coming back. Let's give the President 4 More Years to finish the job!"

"As Governor, I worked across the aisle to get things done. President Obama tried the same. But at every turn, he was blocked. No the Republican Party has got its nominees, but don't have a plan to help working families. All they've got is a far-right agenda of dismantling Medicare and Social Security, cutting taxes for those at the top, and balancing the budget on the backs of the working poor. President Obama has a plan, the American JOBs Act, to get our economy back in top shape and help the middle class."

But the nominees, the so-called heads of the party, won't tell us anything about their ideas for the future. Because they know that you'll reject them. I'm telling you, this ain't your dad's GOP.""

"There's only One Man With A Plan To Reform The immigration System"

"President Obama is the only candidate in this race to put forward any ideas for the betterment of our country and the benefit of the middle class. He's the only one with a valid plan to reform our broken immigration system, the DREAM Act. This bill will double down on border security, and help the children whose parents brought them here illegally, but to no fault of their own. Super-majorities of Americans agree there needs to be a fix, and the President's proposed one!"

Obama Ad #2: "Determination"

"There's just no quit in America, and you're seeing that now."

"Over 5 Million jobs created and imports up 41%."

"Home values, rising."

"Our auto-industry, back and operating at a profit."

"And our heroes, finally returning home to their families after a decade of war."

"We're not there yet, but we've made real progress. And the very last thing we should do, is to turn back now."

"Now here's my plan for the next 4 years: Making education and training a national priority. Building on our manufacturing goals. Boosting American energy. And reducing the deficit in a responsible way, by cutting where we can and by asking the wealthy to pay their fair share. And ending the war in Afghanistan so we can do some nation building here at home. That's the right path, so read my plan and compare it to Senator Ayotte's. Don't just vote on the last four years, but for who you think you'll do better under the next four years."

"I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message."
This Ad Shall Run In The States Of Nevada, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Montana, Ohio, Maine 2, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Georgia and New Hampshire for two weeks.

Nice try

No dice?

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

My debate answers are almost done, and should be up a bit later today.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

- What can you say to students getting ready to graduate from college to assure that they will be able to sufficiently support themselves?

"I know times have been tough, and so do you. We are in the midst of fighting our way back from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Now I've got a plan to alleviate the pain and make sure you've got a job waiting for you. First, I'm cutting student loan interest rates in half so you don't have to cut off an arm and a leg to get a quality education. Second, I'm providing tax incentives to companies that hire new workers, especially those fresh outta school. In my Health Care Law, ObamaCare, I've made it possible to stay on your parent's plan til you're 26; and starting in October of next year, you can enroll on the health exchanges and get your own affordable care. What we need is leadership in Washington that has the new ideas to push forward, and the leadership to work across the aisle to get the job done. That's what I've been doing in office, and that's what I'd do in a second term. Thank you."

- President Obama - Why did you focus primarily on health care during the first two years of your administration instead of on jobs?

"First of all, I think the premise of that question is a bit off. During my entire tenure of office, I've had a laser focus on jobs. My first act of office was a jobs bill, the Recovery Act, which pumped billions of dollars into the pockets of working families and the economy to stop the downside without the help of my Republican friends. It didn't push us into boom times, but it gave us some positive growth. Now, the ACA was made to help families suffering not just from the recession, but from decades of poor health insurance. It was hard to get a job, and ObamaCare makes it so you don't need a job to have health care, because it is a basic human right. My primary focus was and is on helping middle class and working families get a fair shot in an increasingly unfair system and economy. That is my promise to you and your family tonight, and in a second term."

- Where do the candidates stand on climate change?

"An overwhelming super majority of climate scientists worldwide agree that climate change is occurring, and that humans play a part in it. Now for some reason, many people have stooped to debating how much of an impact humans have on the environment. I've got an idea though. Regardless of if CO₂ levels have made that hole in the Ozone Layer, and if humans had a hand in boosting the levels in the atmosphere, why don't we do something about it anyway. We're either in a climate crisis, or we're not. But keeping our planet clean for future generations shouldn't hinge on quelling the doubts of a few. We should do it because it's the right and smart thing to do. During the last four years, I've put in places policies to make America energy independent, and to push us toward a green economy. I've proposed a plan to cap CO₂ emissions, that will cut both it and the deficit at the same time. There's no doubt something needs to be done. We just need a Congress that'll pass it, and a President to sign it. And I hope to be that President."

- What should the federal government do in regards to LGBT rights?

"To be honest, there shouldn't be any such thing as LGBT Rights. There are human rights, and that is it. I've come out in favor of Marriage Equality because I don't see it as the government's role to restrict the rights of or discriminate against any American. In 2010 I pushed for the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell and we got it done. Be instructed my Attorney General to push for an end to the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act. While Senator Ayotte may disagree, I see it as the role of the government to protect the rights of its citizen's; and that's what I'll do for every American."

- What is your vision for immigration reform?

"We are a nation of immigrants. We all understand what this country has become because talent from all around the world wants to come here. People are willing to take risks. People who want to build on their dreams and make sure their kids have an even bigger dreams than they have. But we're also a nation of laws. So what I've said is we need to fix a broken immigration system and I've done everything that I can on my own and sought cooperation from Congress to make sure that we fix the system. The first thing we did was to streamline the legal immigration system, to reduce the backlog, make it easier, simpler and cheaper for people who are waiting in line, obeying the law to make sure that they can come here and contribute to our country and that's good for our economic growth. They'll start new businesses. They'll make things happen to create jobs here in the United States. Number two, we do have to deal with our border so we put more border patrol on the -- any time in history and the flow of undocumented works across the border is actually lower than it's been in 40 years.What I've also said is if we're going to go after folks who are here illegally, we should do it smartly and go after folks who are criminals, gang bangers, people who are hurting the community, not after students, not after folks who are here just because they're trying to figure out how to feed their families. And that's what we've done. And what I've also said is for young people who come here, brought here often times by their parents. Had gone to school here, pledged allegiance to the flag. Think of this as their country. Understand themselves as Americans in every way except having papers. And we should make sure that we give them a pathway to citizenship."
