Campaign:

Well, I think most people know where I stand on issues of our nation and this government position, as I have just finished campaigning for it.

If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to ask.

You´ve done a good job for this first term, you´ll have my vote for the upcoming election...just so you know ...

I think it was Theadore Roosevelt who said "Vice President is the most useless job ever!". It may not have been those exact words, but the idea remains the same.

Heres another great quote on the Vice Presidency

"The vice-presidency isn't worth a pitcher of warm piss."

-John Nance Garner (1868–1967), U.S. politician.

When voting for a vice president one should keep this in mind. Should, Ra forbid, anything happen to the President (computer malfunction, impeachment, just not available for a long time) the vice president would assume his duties. So I ask you not to underestimate the value of the position. Vote for someone you can trust and are willing to invest power into if need be.

Yes, I must agree with ALL statements posted here. In fact, in my last election campaign for the position, my definition of the job was this: Vitally required, yet highly unnecessary .

The VP’s main job is to always be ready to take over as leader of the nation, should the need arise. I have had this opportunity during the short time President Trip was absent.

By voting for me, you will be voting for someone with experiance, and someone you can trust to be able to take over, if it is required.

I think you've done a good job TL. Aside from the 'tapes with Trip' thread. That was just... Tacky.

[Timeline]

Yes....I do alot of "tacky" things

About 95% of the time it is just meant to be good-willed humor and for fun, but many times people mistake it for something els. It's always been one of my peronality flaws, but I do try my best to do a good job here at 'Poly.

[notyoueither]

Yes you do. You are a good member, but putting that thread up at the time you did cannot be construed as anything other than cheap politics.

I used to bash Trip for other issues that offended the people (or my concept of a healthy body politic). Don't take it personally. Just don't do it. Go to OT if you want some cheap bashing.

Timeline.....Why should I vote for you and not banana?

[IceElement]

A question, no doubt, on everybody's lips.

Not to pile on here, but I agree with nye on that Dinner with Trip nonsense.
On the other hand, you served ably on everyone's behalf in Trip's temporary absence. And I like the idea of the DIA and the UFC working together, at this stage. No point in having either the 's or the 's take over the game and drive different minded people away. This game needs both points of view.
(Although the role playing is fun. )

It was funny.....very funny, at least to me and some friends. Don't take it too seriously, it was just some role playing and a joke.

Why vote for me over the Banana? Have you seen one post from the Banana over the past 2 weeks? I think he is becoming inactive.....

I feel there is a great void that needs to be filled. I am heavily compelled to fill it. Because of this, I announce my run for the Office of the Vice President as an Independent (IND).

In the words of the current VP....
The VP’s main job is to always be ready to take over as leader of the nation, should the need arise. I have had this opportunity during the short time President Trip was absent.

The VP should not be a member of a political party. The Vice President should trusted to fill in posistions. If you vote for someone in a political party, you run the risk of partisan politics getting in the way of what the person the Vice President is filling in for wanted. That is assuming that what that absent person wanted is what you the people want. When the Vice President fills in for someone of the same party, you also run a large risk. You the people may be unhappy with what that person is doing. If I get elected, I will take advantage of the times I fill in for people by substituting the will of the people for the will of a corrupt politician.

I will be your Vice President. A Vice President for the people.

My non-partisan nature will be great for a Vice President. I am good friends with people on both sides of the aisle. Though some people in the two parties seem to be friends now, you cannot guarantee that in the long run. Me being independent will allow be to stay friends with these people and get more done for you the people.

Though I don't post as often as some, I'm still very active. I read every post and vote in nearly every poll. I'm even a song writer.

Rough draft of revised Egyptian lyrics for the anthem:

My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land,
Only to you, is my due hearty banana at command,
My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land,
Only to you is my due hearty banana at command,
Mother of the great ancient banana,
My sacred wish and holy demand,
All should love, awe and cherish banana,
Gracious is thy Banana to humanity,
No evil hand can harm or do you wrong,
So long as your free bananas are strong,
My homeland, my homeland, my hallowed land,
Only to you, is my due hearty banana at command

Furthermore, though it is not required, I am in good health. I run many miles a week. I'm not oblivious to the blight of the common man. A assure you that when we have the wheel and mass transit, I will ride the bus.

Timeline is a great guy, but for any other position. For the Office of the Vice President, you need a guy who is independent. You need me. Vote Apocalypse.
