Ahto Presidency Campaign 2008: Canvassing and Campaigning

[Darth InSidious]

do not paint yourself in a favorable light sir, for you have stood up for these slavers on many occasions and you mock those they torture with your remarks.

 

And which one of us, sir, voted to reintroduce slavery to Ahto? Not I. Which for the establishment of a formal slave market in Lamar Square? Not I. Who proposed to bolster his own boom-and-bust economic theories with slave trade resources in his manifesto for this very election? Not I.

 

No, sir, it was you, as the Hansard record shows; while I can be seen to have voted firmly against each and every amendment put forward by your good self on this subject, and my speeches of condemnation are fully reported.

 

Sir, the foul stench of corruption and lies emanating from the side of the chamber belonging to you is enough to kill a man.

 

Would you vote for a slanderer, ladies and gentlemen? Would you?

 

so now you seek to stifle me? to trample upon my freedoms? good people, i move that garfield be disqualified from this election for such talk.

And so we see, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. 7142's true colours! He talks of democracy, of freedom of speech, of freedoms trampled, and yet does he not seek to do the same to my noble opponent? Is this simple stupidity, or naked hypocrisy, I ask.

[CommanderQ]

Hi, Folks, and this is CommanderQ with the CQBC. Here we are again with our rather angry 3 friends here. So simply, let's ask them who they'd vote for and why.

 

John, why?

 

John: SSPP, why? They're definately the more law abiding and justice finding group. And they care about the people.

 

Yamamoto?

 

Yamamoto: SSPP, same reasons.

 

And Comrade Yakolev?

 

Yakolev: HAIL STALIN AND THE WORKERS PAR...

 

Okay, that's quite enough. So, that's their opinion for right now. We shall soon see how all this unfolds. Till' next time, Good night, and Good Luck.

 

This CQBC in Coruscant.

[GarfieldJL]

so now you seek to stifle me? to trample upon my freedoms? good people, i move that garfield be disqualified from this election for such talk.

 

Thou not have freedom to slander others. That tramples on the rights of others, thou not better than anyone else here.

 

And so we see, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. 7142's true colours! He talks of democracy, of freedom of speech, of freedoms trampled, and yet does he not seek to do the same to my noble opponent? Is this simple stupidity, or naked hypocrisy, I ask.

 

At least we are having a civil campaign though, lets try to keep it that way.

[El Sitherino]

Thou voteth for Sith, yesplz?

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

And which one of us, sir, voted to reintroduce slavery to Ahto? Not I. Which for the establishment of a formal slave market in Lamar Square? Not I. Who proposed to bolster his own boom-and-bust economic theories with slave trade resources in his manifesto for this very election? Not I.

Would you vote for a slanderer, ladies and gentlemen? Would you?

yet again i am cast as a nominee for some sort of office when i am but a humble servant of the public good. furthermore, mr darathy must not have his reading glasses on (he is old lol) as i have never put forth any sort of vote, because as i have stated before, i am but a humble servant of the public.

 

 

And so we see, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. 7142's true colours! He talks of democracy, of freedom of speech, of freedoms trampled, and yet does he not seek to do the same to my noble opponent? Is this simple stupidity, or naked hypocrisy, I ask.

again, darathy makes assumptions about my character and my future plans without a shred of evidence, sir i question how you can say you stand for any of the things you mentioned.

[CommanderQ]

Folks, is it just me, or do I detect foul play with our candidates?

 

We have had numerous reports of threats against the fair and loving party of the SSPP, seeking to stop us, if these parties challenge us, if they are in power, what will they do to you fair people? Vote for the SSPP.

 

 

Tune in next time with CQBC to see what our three friends think on the current elections.

 

This is CommanderQ reporting on the elections from the CQBC in Coruscant.

[Darth InSidious]

Sir, your positions in the many referenda which you funded are well known, and shying from them now will do you little good, sir. You are not standing, you say? Are you not a member of the Sitherino Party? Are you not, in fact, sir, member number 1? Before Mr. 7142 attempts to wriggle out of this claim, ladies and gentlemen, please note the piece of paper I have in my hand. Take a good look at it. I am sure Mr. 7142 will recognise it. He should. It is nothing less than the very writ of enrolment that Mr. 7142 signed for said party!

 

As for your attempts to tar my character with my age, I will ignore them, as any person of good character might.

 

And I would ask, since the member has accused me many times of supporting slavery, where is his condemnation? Not once have we seen Mr. 7142 decry the practice, nor the slightest hint of his disapproval. Perhaps it is in the public interest that we discover his own links to certain Egyptian slave gangs?

 

again, darathy makes assumptions about my character and my future plans without a shred of evidence, sir i question how you can say you stand for any of the things you mentioned.

Evidence! Our demagogue asks for evidence! He need only look back to his previous comments, my friends, I am sure you will agree.

 

I don't know, thou has already made wild accusations about me and my noble opponent. It is reasonable to assume thou is trying to hide something.

As my honourable and learned friend says so eloquently, the constant pretence at neutrality and near-universal slanders point only to a base attempt to turn this election into a media circus in order to distract from his own shortcomings!

[CommanderQ]

The CQBC will find all evidence if possible! We are a the Public's voice! And the Public demands the truth! We as the media have great power here.

shortcomings sir?! ha!

*unzips pants*

[jrrtoken]

My running mate has been chosen. The new VP for the SUCCUBI Party makes his debut:

 

[Darth InSidious]

shortcomings sir?! ha!

*unzips pants*

 

My friends, not only does he seek to turn this election into a media circus, he is also an exhibitionist! Do you really trust the words of such a person?

[CommanderQ]

The people demand a proper leader! Obviously, the SSPP is the best decision, only with them at our sides can the Forums grow!

 

Oh, cool running mate pastrami.

[Jae Onasi]

Thus sayeth the Birthday Girl and Momerator:

This thread is to make speeches, canvass for and/or bribe potential voters, sign up the dead/felons/illegal aliens such as Hutts and Twi'leks/assorted others who aren't legal to vote, and otherwise talk about why people should be insane enough to vote for you as Ahto President. If you wish to announce your candidacy for Ahto President, then you shall do so in the Ahto Presidency Campaign 2008: Candidacy Signup thread in accordance to the rules of that thread, provided you have an adequate number of signatures on your petition, real and/or forged.

 

For the purposes of this thread:

1. You shall remain In Character. If your are Out Of Character (aka OOC), I shall exercise my Princess Powers to alter/delete such comments.

2. There shall be no gross smear campaigns and insinuations of misconduct, sexual or otherwise. You shall smear each other in a most friendly, cordial, and semi-professional fashion. Accusations of cheating, lying, Evil Death and Destruction, and/or other similar mischief is acceptable, rape is not OK, and molestation is Right Out.

3. There shall be no OOC complaints, for there is a Report Post button for you to use if you choose to say something Out Of Character.

 

That is all, unless I choose to further exercise my Princess Powers to change the rules to suit my campaign.

[Bee Hoon]

All females get 25+ polys for their bust !

How can you bring yourself to vote for a candidate who judges women by the size of of their bosoms? Vote DSMALL! We guarantee equal rights for women, as proved by how I am honoured to be Sabre's running mate!

 

Who or what is Sabre?

Shame on you sir! Thou art ignorant of thy fellow candidates, yet thou dost dare to promote thyself? Methinks that thou is clearly unfit to govern, as thou hast not even announced thyself on the candidacy thread.

 

Vote DSMALL, and Ahto shall enter a new era of surreal beauty!

[Alkonium]

Well, since I've never been good at speeches, let me just say that anyone who votes for the ISIP will be exempt from taxes for a period of time that we shall specify at a later date and from random kidnapping for unethical scientific tests, which may involve unidimensional portals or genetic modifications to the living.

[CommanderQ]

All who believe in the right and proper government should vote for the SSPP! The true party that stands for all things good and right in the world. We can gaurantee security in justic and will not abuse our power! VOTE FOR THE SSPP!

[tk102]

I can't even count the number of times Teekay has left office.

Which only goes to prove I am not a career politician!

He's unpredictable.

The voices of Ahto are united, we need change and not more of the same. Who better to bring change than those who are not tied to the traditional patterns?

 

The SWK People's Party will bring accountability home. Home to you yourselves, Ubernauts. You will be only ones accountable for yourselves. Do not confuse this with mob rule, because no mob can rule you when you help realize the Ubernaut that lies within.

 

I also make excellent tacos and may share my recipes with you.

[GarfieldJL]

How can you bring yourself to vote for a candidate who judges women by the size of of their bosoms? Vote DSMALL! We guarantee equal rights for women, as proved by how I am honoured to be Sabre's running mate!

 

Can we leave stuff like that out of politics, do not play the gender card.

 

Shame on you sir! Thou art ignorant of thy fellow candidates, yet thou dost dare to promote thyself? Methinks that thou is clearly unfit to govern, as thou hast not even announced thyself on the candidacy thread.

 

Thou jest.

 

I imagine thee not know all the members of this place.

 

Vote DSMALL, and Ahto shall enter a new era of surreal beauty!

 

Nay, I shall vote my conscious.

 

Vote for a real team of Mavericks vote for the Jawa Liberation Party.

 

 

The SWK People's Party will bring accountability home. Home to you yourselves, Ubernauts. You will be only ones accountable for yourselves. Do not confuse this with mob rule, because no mob can rule you when you help realize the Ubernaut that lies within.

Thou talk the talk tk102, but thou not have the record of walking the walk.

[CommanderQ]

There are 2 parties of extreme power and influence here! These two may shape the future of our dear forum land, decide on these two, perhaps a new form of government is needed! Vote ISIP or SSPP! They are the future! Join us while there is still time!!

 

The future is here!

[Alkonium]

[CommanderQ]

HAIL ISIP AND SSPP! THEY WILL LEAD US TO THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!

[tk102]

Thou talk the talk tk102, but thou not have the record of walking the walk.

Someone doesn't like tacos.

[Sabretooth]

 

Comrades, I departed last night, and now see many changes in the election process, namely the splitting up of the thread, and the expansion to 4 pages. There has been much campaigning and canvassing and paintbrushing and I am proud to state that I encourage all parties gathered here, save for that of the vile party of Darth InSidious that will send this forum to doom and that of Garfield, whichever party he is in, for he recognizes not one of the most eminent and respected members of the forum.

 

My friends, last night, I did not sleep. I wandered the streets in the guise of an old man, and I saw so much misery, so much poverty. It made me sad that what these people in authority call "Capitalism", "Administration" and "Moderation" have wrought nothing but misery upon we, who are poor and downtrodden.

 

I call to you, my brothers and sisters. We do not ask you to join us, we ask you to merely support us. We merely ask you to lend us a helping hand, a spoken word of support, so that we may bring forth an age of freedom, justice, equality and the destruction of authority.

 

Remember, in the DSMALL, we do not have registration forms or lengthy party joining process. Everyone is a member, but have you realised this? If you have, the come forth and let us bring about a New Age: an Age that will be remembered for generations across the Internets.

 

Divided Surrealo-Marxist Anarchy Liberation League.

[Bee Hoon]

Can we leave stuff like that out of politics, do not play the gender card.

I dabble not in gender games, but I firmly espouse equal rights for all!

 

I imagine thee not know all the members of this place.

Indeed, good sir, that is the truth. Yet I myself am not oblivious to the presence of the magnificent and magnanimous Sabretooth.

 

Nay, I shall vote my conscious.

Of course! One hopes that one's most respected opponent should not cast his vote while in a dead faint. That would be most distressing.

 

I now call upon my fellow sentients to lend us your ears, for surely one cannot help but be moved by our noble struggle for freedom, justice, equality and the destruction of authority.

 

Vote Divided Surrealo-Marxist Anarchy Liberation League.

[Darth333]

That certainly does not apply to the SWK People's Party. tk102 has already made riches available to everyone: just open KSE and add some credits to your account.

 

We are the only ones who can change your lives for the better and ensure prosperity to all! And it's been proven!
