1. I don't loathe anyone. Try harder.

2. I worked closely with President Polnut, Commander in Chief. I remember being told that he sought your advice on the matter. Obviously, the final law was a compromise that took a diverse set of views into account.

You definitely loathe me Napoleon.  Or at least cordially dislike me Wink

But I don't understand why you don't think the SoEA is someone you should work with on a foreign policy bill.  It seems like negotiations should have actively included the SoEA, not merely through the President.

Perhaps the SoEA could have made that effort if he felt excluded- I was under the impression that you were part of the discussions. Actually, I am certain you were.

I was at the end.  If I remember correctly (and if you have evidence to the contrary, please provide it so I don't criticize you unnecessarily), I was only included when I went to Polnut to get involved - you said it was useless to work with me because I was too stubborn.  Do I mis-remember?

And admit you loathe me Tongue

I do not know for sure but if you expect me to go back nearly a year ago to find evidence to defend myself, I regretfully must inform you I cannot oblige. This campaign is about the future of Atlasia and I will not allow distractions along the way. What does need said regarding the End of Imperialism Act, and can be easily verified by anyone if desired, is that I worked my ass off to see our troops come home securely and safely while you fought for more war and more bloodshed. I took on the political establishment and military-industrial complex to protect Atlasians and their families.

while you fought for more war and more bloodshed.

I object to that.  Also, I'm asking a question about how you work with those people you disagree with.  There's no need to take things personally.

Im not taking things personally, I am just reminding everyone of the facts. If you think I loathe you, then obviously, you are the one taking things personally.

Yeah...

I don't know if you're obsessive, masochistic or simply crying for sympathy right now, Ben.

If the Tongue didn't make it clear, I was joking.  And Napoleon, could you elucidate your views on the new FPR?  I asked, but I think it got lost in the shuffle.

Sure. Foreign policy is an area I have involved myself in since first elected to the Senate. As President, I will pursue a foreign policy that expands trade with other nations and opens markets. I would also like to prioritize environmental issues within the larger sphere of foreign policy, and work with other world leaders to that goal. My administration would go to war as a last resort measure only in extreme circumstances when we feel we have exhausted our other options. I would emphasize intelligence operations and collaborative international diplomacy. I can not say with certainty who I would ask to remain from President Polnut's Cabinet, but the things I will be looking for are activity,  experience, confidence, and flexibility.

You avoided the second part of my question brilliantly Wink

Also, can you comment specifically on the recently posted FPR?

My biggest problem with the Foreign Policy Review is the sustained use of the word "attack" to describe the goal of the tariff. Such is all but admitting economic warfare. While I support restrictions for rogue nations, describing it is an attack does more harm than good.

That's an interesting and novel complaint.  What sort of wording would you suggest?  It's never been a problem before, and that wording has been standard for quite a while.

As I already said, I'm eating babies, not dogs. And I'm not eating babies for fun. It's to make my hair stronger. When you grow up, you'll understand there are things men must do.

On the issue of dog consumption, I will point to my support of the Canine Protection Act. Animal lovers can is also take comfort knowing I worked to pass the Animals are our Friends Act in the Northeast, to help protect shelter animals from untimely death (this is another example of my ability to compromise and work with other ideologies to make it work).

I got a question for Kal. Why do you want to be VP again? I thought you disliked the position. If elected, will you make it more interesting? Like have hookers on the Senate floor?

"Escorts". Show a little respect for the trade, will you?

A tramp is still a tramp no matter what name you give them.

Kalwejt and I will release a schedule of our respective and joint campaign stops within the next few days. We will travel the nation and look forward to getting to know and spreading our message to as many Atlasians as we can. Keep an eye open for us. Wink

Sure, I guess there can be ten left of center tickets and Clarence in the race.
And 0 of them labor.

Does the campaign care to respond to Winfield's bizarre reason for retracting his endorsement?


I have found it necessary to withdraw my endorsement of Kalwejt for Vice President.

His baby eating comments, although he thinks may be funny, I find completely inappropriate,  objectionable, disgusting, and entirely unfitting anyone aspiring to become Vice President.

It was kind of a weird endorsement... you can't simply vote for the President and then the Vice President on separate tickets, so endorsing the VP separately is rather needless.

Representative Winfield is a friend and I thank him for his honesty. I find it refreshing in this game. Hopefully Kal and I can convince Winfield that our ticket is still the best.

As I recall, afleitch was running for reelection without a declared vice presidential candidate and there was no raised legal problem. I think it would be fine for Winfield to write-in a vice presidential candidate.

Btw, I don't know whether it's sad or just comic to withdraw an endorsement for such a laughable reason (and considering Atlasian, hm, "political culture").

Winfield, just tell it's about 2012 board and Mitt Romney. The people know you already and will understand Tongue

Is it possible that someone (Ben or Clarence) has asked Winfield to be their VP, so he wants to clear up any previous endorsements for that position for whatever reasons he can find?
