I didn't want to clutter up the voting booth, but can somebody try and convince me one way or the other on term limits for the Supremes?  (or point me to the appropriate thread)

It was a debate that came up awhile and I was trying to gauge opinions.  The idea isn't that the SC cannot serve more than 12 months, its that they have to be reconfirmed.  If a justice is not doing their job, the senate should have the right to remove them IMHO

They could, but the process is lenghty and requires an incredible supermajority.  Under the term limits scenario, a simply majority is all that would be require for gaining another term.  And remember, one year is an enternity in Atlas time, very few justices serve that long.

     Oh. If I had known that's what you meant, I would've voted yes.

One of Down's many interesting features is the fact that he's too cowardly to respond to just criticism.

That's a lie. I did not accuse you of loving the holocaust I find your attitude towards the holocaust (which is characterised by callous, brattish sneering and a total lack of humanity) to be utterly despicable and to reflect extremely poorly on you as a person, but that's not the same thing.

You are either an anti-semite or so utterly clueless as to find pretending to be an anti-semite amusing. I look at anything you write about the Jews in the light of that. And so should everyone else.

Now lets see... at the time I made that little remark the only members of your party (whatever it was called then) that I was aware of were you and that nasty rape-loving racist, Duke. Both you are trolls. I wouldn't make that claim now as there are clearly non-trolls in your party (though I've no idea why).

That's not my view of the Holocaust at all, the comment was mocking people who think of the Holocaust as something to take lightly

That statement is so absurd there is really nothing to respond with.  See statement above

There is nothing that suggests either myself or Duke fits the definition of a troll.  The fact that we disagree with you does not make us trolls.  Obviously a lot of people feel the same way considering those that joined the party and voted in the affirmative for getting me as the chair

People who do not understand irony cannot claim it in order to defend themselves.

Quote

Your own words do defeat you:

Hardcore jews are some dangerous people and they definetly have more influence over our government.

Everytime I see this topic I keep thinking it says "Impact of Jews on the Movies"

I hate the term "anti-Semetic", people get the impression that Semetic is somehow synonumous with "jew" which it is not at all.  It pretty much means the Middle East as a whole I believe. 

The fact that I despise Israel and would support Muslims over Jews no matter what the case (balance purposes) in an election isn't really closested Tongue


I know convinced due to today's spike Israel is responsible for high gas prices, yet we keep supporting these bastards

This is just more proof that the existence of a Jewish state in Israel is the biggest road block to world peace

1.) I believe he knew about it
2.) He attacked the wrong goddamn country, much worse than Bush going after Iraq AFTER Afghanistan
3.) His aid of the British and taking it up the ass from Churchill is why they were so pissed

===

1.) Lincoln encouraged war too, this was nothing new
2.) He went to war with Japan after Germany
3.) Sounds like the stupid Israeli policy that is screwing us now

Then there's this sorry thread: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=52952.0
And some stuff here also: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=43926.0

And so on and so forth. Plenty more out there. I'm sure that you'll now claim irony again (though see my earlier post for why that'd still be disgusting). Or trot out your sad little cop-out that "hating Israel isn't anti-semitic".

One of the many interesting things about the virus of anti-semitism is quite how obsessive those who suffer from it can become. Seeps into all kinds of things. Of course, it's possible that you're just a nasty little shit who gets a kick out of pretending to be an anti-semite because other people find anti-semitism so disgusting. Either way...

Amusing. Actually I get on quite well with plenty of people here who I disagree with greatly in political matters.

I wonder how many would have done so if they knew that you have proudly declared that you would vote for Hitler.

My two personal favorites that Al pulled out of there was when I said "Effect of Jews on the Movies" because I read it wrong, and when I defined that anti-Semitism was commonly mistaken to only refer to Jews when it technically means the Middle East as a whole.  But seriously Al, get a life instead of reading old threads desperatley trying to find something that does not exist.

Now, with 13 members we are the second largest party in Atlasia.  Thanks to PiT's recruiting and an effort to keep all our members active, we hope to remain a force.  Even if a huge movement knocks me off in the last few hours, we showed that we are something to be reckon with.

Hopefully in the next nationwide election we can run 2 candidates, and the presidential race remains up in the air for now.  The big announcement on our future is tentatively scheduled for later on tonight.

And here is the big announcement (alright maybe it won't excite you that much Smiley ):

BREAKING NEWS
Following the pickup of a senate seat in the recent August midterm election, the RPP looks to build on its success.  For this, it is only appropriate that the party turns to the region where it exploded and to the person who made it all possible.  It is with great pleasure that I announce PiT will be making his fantasy politics debut in the October Southeast senate race!


Alright, so maybe its not that big of a deal but we want to make sure our party keeps paying attention Wink
