Please don't edit updates into previous posts. It's a lot harder for me to follow the story if I have to sift through what I already read to find the update. Make a new post, even if it is just a short one.

Other than that, very good update. Keep it coming!

The 1985 Progressive Party Nomination

With their biggest ever landslide defeat five years ago, a fer Progressive were afraid or nervous to risk their political careers running for the Presidency. Among notable Progressives that didn't run were George McGovern and Mark Hatfield, who had joined the Progressives in 1982. However, a field still emerged.

Congressman Thomas P "Tip" O'Neil of Massachusetts
A member of the Eastern Establishment, who was supported by Congressman Ted Kennedy of the very same state, O'Neil had been a Congressman from 1954 to 1971, Governor of Alaska 1971-1976, and Congressman again from 1981 up to that point in time.

Governor Mike Gravel of Alaska
A newer politician, who before his election to Alaska's Governorship, had been appointed Governor of Alaska by Nelson Rockefeller and had been a candidate for Congress in 1980. In 1982, he had only managed to win a tight three way race for the Governorship of Alaska by distancing himself from the national Progressive Party and reaching out to natives and environmentalists in the state.

Progressive Minority Whip Walter Mondale of Minnesota
A well respected Progressive from the solidly Liberal state of Minnesota, Mondale was the favorite of the three major candidates. While O'Neil represented the old Eastern Establishment and Gravel represented the growing Wester Progressive movement, Mondale was the "generic Progressive".


1985 would be the first year the the major parties used the primary system where members of the party in different states would vote for who they wanted to be the nominee. There was still a large amount of power in the conventions, however the Primaries worked to keep the system more Democratic.


Dark Green-O'Neil
Green-Mondale
Light Green-Gravel

Had O'Neil won California, the nomination would have been his. However, because of upset victories for Mondale in California and Ohio, none of the three candidates had enough support ot win the nomination. Because of that, the nomination would go to the convention, held in St. Paul, Minnesota.


On his home turf, Mondale worked like a race horse to capture the nomination, stealing just enough North-Easter delegates from O'Neil and just enough Western delegates from Gravel to secure the nomination, and he did.

The 1985 Centrist Party Nomination

After incredible showings in the last election, and with more members in Congress and a greater base of support, there were a number of candidates representing different sides of the Centrist Party ranging from Libertarian to Populist.

Governor Edmund G "Jerry" Brown Jr. of California
Having served a number of state offices before running for Governor including Attorney General and Secretary of State of California, Brown lost his 1980 bid for California Governor to Barry Goldwater Jr. However, because of Goldwater's election to the Presidency, Brown had been given a second chance at becoming Governor in the 1982 special election. He had been the nominee of both the Centrists and the Progressives, however his strict fiscal Conservatism lined up much more with the Centrists than the Progressives.

Governor Robert P Casey of Pennsylvania
A Populist leaning Centrist known most for his siding with the American Patriots on a number of social issues but also being fiscally Liberal and having a large amount of union support, Casey was running primarily in order to champion the issue of abortion. He was afraid that in 1985, all three major party nominees would be pro-choice, as they had been in 1980. His Social Conservatism would be at odds with a large amount of his party, however he had accumulated his own following within the party.

House Centrist Leader Gerald R Ford
As Mondale had represented the "Generic Progressive", Ford represented the "Generic Centrist". He was not the Libertarian Brown or the Populist Casey, but what the part had originally stood for, a strict centrist approach.



Dark Yellow-Casey
Yellow-Ford
Light Yellow-Brown

Had Casey won New York, or Brown won Minnesota, the nomination would have had to go to the convention, taking place in Chicago. However, with close Ford victories in Vermont, Minnesota, and New York, he secured the nomination by a hair.


The keynote speech for the convention was given by a war hero who had worked tirelessly the past three years in order to bring down Nazi Germany and had succeeded.
General Colin Powell

Powell's speech did not focus on foreign policy, Powell's strong suit, but instead on domestic policy which was where Powell mainly opposed Goldwater.

At long last, the man of the hour, Congressman Ford stepped on stage, greeted with thunderous applause. Despite a last minute attempt to draft Powell for the Presidency, who didn't attempt, Ford was easily nominated on the first ballot.

The 1985 American Patriot Nomination

With a good economy and recent victories overseas, including the toppling of Nazi Germany, there were few, if any, credible challengers. Despite protests from Pro-Life groups, Goldwater had made certain concessions with the Buckleys ensuring that there woudl be no major challenger from the Right. The concessions, however, included endorsements of pro-life bills as well as adding opposition to abortion on the official party platform.

As with the other two parties, 1985 was the first year that the American Patriots used the primary system. However, with no major challengers, Goldwater won every statewide contest on the map.


Blue-Goldwater



At the 1985 American Patriot Naitonal Convention in Atlanta City, New Jersey, there was a joyous and hopeful attitude. The American Patriots as they saw it had no reason for their losing.

Admiral John S McCain III
Admiral McCain, whose father and grandfather, both named John McCain, had risen quickly in the Navy ranks. He had had a rough childhood, being born in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 when it was owned by the United States of America. In 1955, he and his family was finally able to return to America, when things had stablized. They settled in what was by then called the Renewed States of America. During the 1960's and the 1970's, McCain served as a member of the Renewed State Navy, becoming a hero and earning the Henry Wallace Award of Patriotic Valor, given to him by then-President Richard Nixon in 1977.

Other speakers at the convention included New York Governor James L Buckley, Indiana Governor Phil Crane, Ambassador to the Allied Forces Robert Dole, and Congrressman Ron Paul.
Congressman Ron Paul of Pennsylvania

On the last night of the convention, President Goldwater spoke, raising the audience to thunderous applause.


Five years ago, we swept into office with a mandate. A mandate to fix a broken economy, to win a broken war, and to rejuvenate a broken country. We did that all and with time to spare! That is why, tonight, I once again accept your nomination for President, so that we can continue to govern these Renewed States of America, and lead it in peace and liberty, so that every individual will receive the rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!

The 1985 Presidential Election; The Results

President Goldwater Re-Elected!

Goldwater-62 electoral votes
Ford-36 electoral votes

The results were an obvious referendum on the success of the Goldwater Administration, Despite a lack of electoral improvement, having gotten the same number of electoral votes that he got five years ago, Goldwater was in a much better position. The effects of 1980 were still being felt as the Progressive Party placed third. However, hey had managed to regin Progressive strongholds such as Washington and Illinois.

America and Onward Part XXVIII
The Second Term of Barry Goldwater Jr.


With his landslide re-election, Barry Goldwater Jr. felt that he had met the standards met by his father, perhaps succeeded them in the realm of foreign policy. With his mandate, President Goldwater set out to topple the "Evil Empire" of the Soviet Union once and for all.

With General Powell's land forces and Admiral McCain's sea forces converging on the Soviet Union, and with a troop build up in Norther China, the "final battle" for the fate of the rest of the century seemed imminent.

In March of 1986, conflict exploded in Eastern Europe as RS Navy ships were fired at by Russian patrol ships in the Arctic Ocean. That moment was the "beginning of the end" of the Soviet Union as Allied Forces burst through the Russo-Chinese border and General Powell's troops took out Soviet forces in Eastern Europe and marched towards Moscow.

Soviet Party Chairman Gorbachev, a hardliner, unleashed all the forces of the Soviet military that had dominated the Eastern Hemisphere since the 1940's on the Allied troops. President Goldwater promised "strong resolve, and quick action" to end the fighting by any means necessary. In April as fighting continued, President Goldwater asked for an extension of the Patriot Act, as well as shipping over of 10,000 Renewed States troops to strategic locations around Europe and Asia. Congress, controlled by the American Patriot Party, and with a President that had a 67% approval rating, approved both acts.

As the fighting continued and it appeared that despite the Soviet economy being in a state of recession, a stalemate was occuring, President Goldwater sat down with some of his cloer and higher up advisors. In order to look for an end to the conflict, Minister Rumsfeld revealed secrets that had been in the works since the time of President Joseph Kennedy. They revealed the research of an abandoned project from "Old America" called the Manhattan Project which was research for the creation of an atomic bomb. Since the first President Kennedy began work on the old project, there had been a number of tests in Northern Canada, and the bomb had developed under the first President Goldwater, President Robert Kennedy, President Nixon, President Rockefeller, and the current President Goldwater.
       Maps further detailed that a strategic bombing could wipe out significant portions of Soviet military power, leaving factories, civilians, and Allied troops unharmed. Goldwater at first was not eager to drop "The Bomb" on Russia. However, American casualties were piling up and by June, it appeared that fighting would continue for some time.

Empire Building Manuscript, May 5th, 1986
Goldwater: Why wasn't I told about this?
Rumsfeld: I myself wasn't aware of it until 1984. Before that, it was listed under "Top Secret". Even in Congressional hearings in the late '70's when we were trying to clean out Nixon's damage, Congress couldn't get ahold of what it was.
Goldwater: When did this thing start.
Rumsfeld: The first Kennedy Administration.
Goldwater: Damn...How much do they say it can wipe out?
Rumsfeld: Deleted from tapes
Goldwater: Damn, that would win us the war.


Even today, the exact amount of land the Bomb was said to destroy hasn't been revealed.

By July, President Goldwater and Minister Rumsfeld had selected the strategic position where the Atomic Bomb, much advanced beyond 1940 levels of technology, was to be dropped.

On July 12th, 1986, the first Atomic Bomb was dropped in an area in the taiga where a large number of Soviet troops had been fleeing to to regroup. All Allied Forces had been on standby over twenty miles away. All in all, it was a relatively weak bomb, and only enough to wip out a large number of the troops there.

A photo of the first atomic bomb drop, from over one hundred miles away. The flash made the exposion look much larger than it was.

Within hours, with over a third of the Soviet military wiped out, Russia was preparing a surrender. By July 13th, Gorbachev has surrendered.

Final Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev issuing his public surrender

With victory over the Soviet Union, President Goldwater issued a Presidential decree stating that all American troops would be called home by 1987. This was greeted with much delight by the American people, who had become war weary since the 1960's.

Over the next three years, delegates from members of the Allied Forces convened to discuss the fate of the destroyed Soviet Union. The first order of business was finding Soviet leaders guilty of war crimes including ordered purges, murders, and other things. This was accomplished fairly quickly. The next step was the fate of the citizens and the government. On this Goldwater proclaimed that the Renewed States would not be party to nation building, and if the Allied Forces decided to go ahead with the "Yeltsin Plan", the Renewed States would bow out.

Domestically, the economy continued to do well with improvements and strengthening of many industries. By 1987, Goldwater's approvals were standing at 61%, and it looked like they were going to stay there. With several large initiatives out of the way, a good economy, and victory in World War II, Goldwater finished out the rest of his term in good standing.

Issues only heated up when Congressman Mark Hatfield (P-OR) proposed the atomic freeze amendment stating that the Renewed States, along with all other nations would immediately stop their production of atomic or nuclear weapons by 1990 and get rid of their arsenals. This was not supported by Goldwater and others for national security reasons, and even Congressman Ron Paul said that the country should not immediately disarm.

However, there was a growing "Atomic Freeze" movement in America that would not be ignored in the future. With the failure of the atomic freezein the American Patriot controlled Congress, President Goldwater finished out the rest of his term with moderately good approval ratings, thought it would later be said that for the most part, after 1987, President Goldwater was a "do nothing" President. Goldwater would later retort "Of course I was a do-nothing after 1987! There was nothing else to do!" Meanwhile, in Russie, different factions including the mafia and the KBG warred over who would rule the land.

WIth 1990 approaching, and an election, President Goldwater announced that he would not seek a third term as President, citing a wish to return to business and private life.

Congressional Balance of Power 1986-1990
American Patriots-67; Leader-Jack Kemp
Progressives-38; Leader-Walter Mondale

Thanks. Smiley Right now, I'm working on looking for a Progressive politician to lead the "Atomic Freeze" movement into the 1990's. Suggestions are welcome. After 1995, I'll probably switch perspectives to the CSA for the 84, 90, and 96 elections, then go back to the RSA.

If any readers want to suggest candiates for 1990, I'm open to them. Right now I'm working on finding a good solid American Progressive to use as a candidate, but seem at a loss. It looks like Russ Feingold would be too young by that point, the Kennedy name would be tainted, Hatfield and McGovern would both be too old. What I really want is a staunch leader of the emerging Atomic Freeze movement. If this was taking place ten years earlier, there'd be too many to count.

Right now, the names rolling around in my head include Bruce Babbit and Bernie Sanders, though I'm undecided about either of them.

Joe Biden would likely be PA, not DE.  Doubtful the Bidens would move to DE from PA in 1951.

America and Onward Part XXIX
Morning in America-The 1990 Presidential Election

The 1990 American Patriot Nomination

With the success of the Goldwater Administration, a number of candidates were willing to jump into the race. Representing different brands of Conservatism ranging from Moderate to Arch-Conservative to Libertarian, they were all willing to win their party's nomination.

Congressman Ron Paul of Pennsylvania
Personally the candidate Goldwater favored to win, Goldwater and Paul believed in several of the same principles. Paul had first entered politics when he ran for Congress in 1975, believing the worsening economy to be because of continued warfare and a large amount of social spending. He lost in a Progressive landslide. However, in 1980, he was redeemed when he won the seat he had run for in 1975. For the next ten years, he was called the "First Friend", because of his close relationship with Goldwater.

Governor Phil Crane of Illinois
Called by Progressives "Too Conservative for Nazi Germany, Phil Crane was still a somewhat attractive candidate because of his fifteen years of executive experience as well his success as a Conservative in a traditionally Progressive leaning state.

Minister of Diplomacy Paul Laxalt of Nevada
Elected Lieutenant Governor of Nevada in 1960, Congressman in 1965, and Governor in 1970, Paul Laxalt had a long and extensive political career, being a successful politician of the swing state of Nevada, as well as one of the leading members of President Goldwater's foreign policy team.

Ambassador to the Allied Forces Bob Dole
A Senior politician who had been in Congress since 1956 and had served in leadership positions since then, he was one of the remaining 'lucky ones' who had been fortunate enough to survive World War II. After a twenty five year Congressional career and two runs for the Presidency, he was appointed Ambassador to the Allied Forces in 1981, where he served as a "senior statesman". It was said that 1990 would be his last run.



In order to show the strength of the West, which had been the most successful region for the American Patriots since 1960, more primaries that had been held in Michigan and New Jersey last year, were moved out to the West. This gave Paul, the Libertarian, and Laxalt, the Favorite Sone, the advantage.


Light-BLue-Paul
Blue-Dole
Light Green-Laxalt
Dark Blue-Crane

While Paul won a plurality of the primaries, they had been low delegate primaries. This only put him with a shaky first place going into the convention, followed by Dole who only won two primaries, but he had won the crucial New York primary. Laxalt, who came in second place in state count, was third in delegate count, followed by Crane.

At the convention, the nomination came down to the moderate Dole vs. The Libertarian Conservative Paul. While Goldwater had already endorsed Paul, Dole took advantage of Paul's inexperience at the convention by swinging delegates over. However, both Paul Laxalt and Phil Crane endorsed Ron Paul, giving him the nomination.

In the "Renewed States of America", they don't have running mates. It just goes by cabinet. That's how Nelson Rockefeller, Richard Nixon, and Joseph Patrick Kennedy all became President. They were the Ministers of Domestic Policy and Wealth Distribution before they President they served under was either killed or impeached.

However, in the CSA, they have running mates.

I figured that in a society that I had the chance to organize into a "what makes sense" form of government, there woudl be no Vice-President. However, I included other things that didn't make sense, such as "Ministries", instead of departments. Because the governnment was orgnized primarily by the Liberal Henry Wallace, the term "Ministry" represents a more European flavor, though there are still election with electoral votes.

...And to all you Progressives out there, don't complain about Paul. I personally didn't want him to win the nomination either (I wanted Laxalt), however, I felt that with Goldwater's endorsement and the accomplishments of the Goldwater Administration the last ten years, he would win.
