My dear friends of the IDS, what I would respectfully suggest is that if you do opt to retain the imperial titles, in particular that of Emperor, is that the constitution contains the term

Emperor or Empress.

That way, the part of the constitution pertaining to the Chief Executive is non sexist and will have already provided for the appropriate title for a female Chief Executive, in the, admittedly unlikely, eventuality of the election of a female Chief Executive. 

Even though the election of a female Chief Executive is remote, given the seemingly low level of female participation on this forum, nevertheless, with this measure, the constitution becomes non sexist and would provide for that eventuality.

Thank you and best wishes in your constitutional deliberations.   

[Who will speak for the Mustafini-Kominists now?]

Don't resign! Who will speak for the Mustafini-Kominists now?

Who really cares?

Ah am not a faan ah imperial tahtles, howevah, if the good folks ah the south want ta use imperial tahtles, that is up ta theym.

Congratulations ZuWo and Cathcon on your win.

I am certain you will do well and do what has to be done.

Human monster would apply in this case, although Gosnell demonstrates none of the traits that humans should have.

And some here are playing with the technical term of human.

You all know the point I am making, so quit trying to play cute with the technical definitions.

I make no apologies for the terms I have used to describe this deplorable individual.

[ARE YOU HUMAN?]

And this particular individual is indeed foul, pernicious and embarrassing, to say the least.

Yes, he is a human being, however, his actions betray that status.

Even the prosecuting attorney, clearly a legal authority, said to Gosnell during the trial

ARE YOU HUMAN?

A valid statement from the attorney indeed.

Why should he get off so easily in comparison to the babies he killed? If he were white he'd definitely be getting a case of sparky or whatever they use these days (lethal injection). Slime like him should get Osama bin Ladin'd

I sympathize with your sentiments, however, in jurisdictions with the death penalty, those on death row are able to appeal their sentence for 20 years before it is carried out, if ever.  Then, years down the road the death sentence could be commuted to life in prison.

This scum bag is 72, and would likely die before a death sentence would be carried out anyway.

Let him sit in a 6 x 6 cell, or whatever they are, for the rest of his miserable life.  With any luck, other inmates may carry out some kind of inmate retribution on this monster.

Yes! More signatures for this, please!

This is a prime example of the ridiculousness to which citizen initiatives can sink to.  No sense, no logic, no intelligence, simply utter nonsense.

Clinton will need to pick someone relatively new to the national stage who can bring excitement to the Democratic ticket in what is bound to be a lull of a year.  Thus, I think its likely that Clinton (or any 2016 Democratic nom) to pick a new Democratic governor or Senator elected in 2014.  Alternatively, to generate the same kind of energy they could nominate another woman or a minority...

Which raises the question, will America 2016 be ready for a Democratic ticket that features two women or a woman and a racial minority?
 

Two women?  Absolutely 0% chance.

Philadelphia Abortion "doctor" Kermit Gosnell sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, waiving his right to appeal for killing three new born babies, born live.

This depraved monster has set a new low.

I can only hope this sub human is somehow, "accidentally", let into the general prison population.  Even hardened criminals have no use for baby killers.  They would make short work of this hideous excuse for a human being.

Any assistants he may have had should go to prison for many, many years.

Is anyone going to pick up the torch for Clarence and continue his campaign and fight for his ideals? 

Indeed, all the best to Clarence and Andrew.

May they have speedy recoveries.

Nay

Candidate SirNick, if elected, will you move the Governor's office back to New York City where it belongs?

This election will be going down to the wire.

There is no clear favorite.

STOP!

YOU'RE KILLING ME! 

In the context of the simulation, definitely the delayed Senate issues.

Although, all appointed and elected officials in Atlasia should at least be doing their jobs and carrying out their responsibilities in an effective and timely manner.

But he is trying to get New Yorkers to eat healthier, and that is commendable. 

There can be no doubt but what Cruz is a rising star in the Republican party.

He is without question absolutely brilliant, certainly Obama's equal in intelligence, as well as in his oratorical skills.

However, 2016 will not be his year.  If he does run then, I believe it will be more to establish himself in the national consciousness, and as a serious national figure.

If he plays his cards right, he can then run in 2020 as a known quantity, and, should he secure the nomination, pivot somewhat to the center in the campaign.

He is certainly a gifted individual, with a bright future ahead of him.

Almost but not quite all of his colleagues hate him.

Winfield sees greatness in candidates that other people inexplicably find unlikable.

That's because my insight in such matters is absolutely uncanny. 

Romney 2016.

You, sir, are an absolute genius.

Ah, but it's the people who elect the President, not an effete corps of impudent snobs. (Agnew)

If Hillary's health fails, Dems may turn to the champion of gay marriage, Gavin Newsom, former Mayor of San Francisco and current Lieutenant Governor of California.

Youthful, attractive, and at the forefront of gay marriage to boot.  Dems should love him.

The highest political office I see for Daniels in the future is as a member of a Republican President's cabinet.

Not so bad actually.

As for being on a national ticket, I cannot see this ever happening.
