Talk Elections

My fellow Atlas Republicans, it is no secret here that Democrats outweigh Republicans here. Several Democratic members have suggested that they would vote for me if I were the GOP nominee.

This weekend, when you nominate a member of our party, remember - we need someone who can beat Nym. SteveNichols is too far right to do just that.

May God bless the Atlas Forum.

What about me? Do you think I have a chance at winning?

That's true.  I'm right. ;D

And you are a good man!

Thank you Josh.  I think you're a good man as well.

Mike you still have not answered my question.

I THINK ANY GOP THAT IS RUN FOR OFFICE IS GREAT & TRUST IN FREEDOM AS I DO
GOOD LUCK TO EVER ON THAT IS RUN FOR OFFICE
THE POSSBLE NOMMIE FOR GOP

THE NEXT PRESIDNT OF THE ATLAS FORUM

What do you mean like what are the jokes..tell me I wont get mad

First of all, radical is a totally relative term.  One man's radical is another man's moderate.

Secondly, how can you presume to know who is electable and who is not.  I've always thought that I can be a very effective spokesman for my beliefs.  Although I have strong convictions, I'm willing to listen to people, answer questions, and address concerns.  This makes me more electable than a centrist who's a terrible salesman.

But my main question is this:  Why do we have primary elections?  Is it to select the candidate with the best chance of winning, or is it to select the candidate who shares our vision for the world?  I envision a world in which individual human beings are treated with dignity, where his or her God-given rights will be cherished and protected.  Government exists for the protection of the individual human being and the promotion of liberty and order in society.  If government interferes with this vision of individual dignity, I say cut the size of government.  If individuals threaten the rights and dignity of other individuals, I say increase the size of government.  That's my vision.  It's not too far right.  It's just right.

You are right. I do not think you are to far right. I think you are one of the best candidates running.

Mike what makes you different then us?  Like how do you stand for ect...

IS THERE ELECTIONS THIS WEEKEND

Mike-
Is the misspelling in your sig graphic intentional?

The fact that he's running for Presdient sets him apart right at the start ;)

I am running for President too.

I just look forward to the debate on Monday.  We'll see where our differences really are.

I was teasing his spelling mistake (Presdient).

edit: Shucks, he removed the picture.  I liked it.

Oh sorry!

I just want to say if I do not place good this weekend, I might drop out of the running.  If I do that I will run for V.P.  

IS THERE ELECTIONS THIS WEEKEND
CAN SOMEONE ANASWER THAT PLEASE

I'm not sure of the exact dates, but the republican convention isn't until the end of May.  Other than that I'm not sure.

Yes they are this weekend

What exactly is the process for the primaries?

IS IT THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

I am sorry Mike, but I support WildCard for President. Good luck though.

We ran two moderates last time, and they were defeated. Maybe it's time to turn to the Conservatives.

I think I can win over Nym.  So
 vote for you!!

Thats certainly not the case. One Republican voted for Nym because the GOP ticket was too conservative(Which they weren't). Conservatism had nothing to do with it.

Super is not conservative? I think he is. That is nothing bad. Just, what I feel is more accurate. But, hey, I can be wrong but I support Mike but then again, I am unsure if he is a real moderate because of some of his post.

he's a "moderate" like i'm a "moderate" :P

Supersoulty is a reasonable conservative. He ran as a moderate with very moderate former Democrat Demrepdan as RM. So, it was perceived as a moderate ticket...why Bullmoose voted the way he did, we'll never know, lol.
