Atlas Awards 2009

[Mechaman]

I feel so honored that people think highly enough to rate me Troll of the Year! I really do try my best to be an all-around asshole to as many people as possible!

Nah. You've revolutionized the art of trolling - you've made it likable.

     Straha was a pretty likeable troll, though he was also before your time.

Yeah, I've heard plenty of comparisons between myself and Straha before. Hell I think someone even said "Whatever Straha" after I bashed the hell out of an issue.

Hmm...No. In 1912, you would be Taft and I would Roosevelt.

Politically yes, but this is not about the politics, it is about the rivalry. Of course reading comprehension was never your strong suit.

No. Reading comprehension isn't YOUR strongsuit. You can barely evenspell, so I wouldn't yet expect reading comprehension. That being said, I destroyed you in the so-called "rivalry" (lol, as if you could "rival" me), much in a similar way to how Roosevelt slaughtered Taft, despite Taft's "establishment" support.

No your strong suit is hypocracy.

I recuited you, gave your chance. TR brough Taft up through the ranks of the Gov't and then handed him the Presidency. I then turned on you when I could delude myself no longer about you. TR turned on Taft when he could no longer stand Taft's conservatism whether real or imagined. TR then launches an independent bid sinking Taft's reelection bid but. I would argue that at the time I turned on you, you had more power in the RPP then me so that made you more of the "establisment" guy, the establisment of self destuction whose unwilling co-conspirators were DWTL and Rowan. Ask yourself. Can you still win regionwide in the NE like you claimed a month or so ago? After your two best friends on the whole forum turned against you, the only way anybody could still trust you is to endeavour to employ "the willful suspension of disbelief", to quote Hillary Clinton. Look what happened to Xahar/NiK, even the mere hinting of a possible Hamilton connection sent necessary supporters scurrying away. And there is more then hints regarding that. TR destroyed Taft's chance at second term. I began the destruction of your credibility and people's trust in you.

Yes very much so. Of course if Hamilton cared about the truth he would now that my lax grammar on here is more because I don't consider it a priority on a message board when it takes 2 minutes to get a post to load on dial-up.


Can we for heavan's sake get back to the topic at hand.

[Rob]

Y'all still have dialup? You really have embraced southern culture, haven't you, Republican Yankee?

No. We had planned on switching to Broadband but my dad lost his job and we didn't have the money.

[Rob]

So, of course, it makes perfect sense to support the Republican Party. I'm not trying to be an ass, but is your dad on unemployment? Do you know how the GOP feels about unemployment insurance?

[TeePee4Prez]

Me vs. Keystone Phil has apparently died.  Oh well.  Whip out the champagne bottles.

How many times do I have to go through this? I am not stupid, I know perfectly well what the GOP wants to do with Unemployement but one issue is not going to make me change parties when you consider the following facts. I belong in the party, I oppose Cap-n-Trade, Oppose current Health Care proposals, I oppose Amnesty for Illegal alliens, I support three bracket Tax code with a 25% corporate tax, I am for Free Trade with certain exceptions, I support partial privatization of Social Security, I am Pro-Life, I oppose gun control, I oppose legalization of drugs, porn, prostitution, and I support the Death Penalty. I supported "a" stimulus, the minimum wage, unemployement insurance, Civil Unions, and strict new Financial Regulations. Five issues where I disagree with the GOP compared to about 15 where I agree with them. Guess what, most sane Republicans with a chance of winning nationwide agree with me on those last five. I am perfectly in line with my party.

Well, it takes two, to tangle.

You sound a lot like a Bob Casey Sr. Democrat.  Though your economic score surprises me.

Atleast you recognise the Pennsylvanianess of those positions. THough I have much respect for the late great Bob Casey Sr, I don't think I qualify as a Bob Casey Sr. Democrat because, My tax positions are enough to give any Democrat a Heart Attack and thus the economic score. I still support Deregulation across most industries, I just feel as a French official said, the financial sector is different because, "we need them". I support Free Trade with most countries. I just support taken actions against those that don't play fair and I oppose Nafta over Sovereignty issues.
