I WILL TELL YOU WHO I AM VOTING FOR
castaneda
Dubh ,
I dont doubt Dubh's commitment to ireland , he has had some great ideas(lambda and the merging of two vital ministries are not two of his best) , but yes, the HW medals and lack of fights does niggle at me.
Will Dubh make a Great president ? , Ok lets not raise the bar too high .
Will Dubh make a good president ?
I dont think he will , In all ive seen of dubh and in our many , lets call them conversations , in the forums, i have never found dubh to be approachable .
Never found him to be accepting of criticism (im not talking personal), always believe's that he's right and if you dont agree then thats a personal affront.
He is also quick to anger .
These are not the traits a President of the country needs, Some might not agree with me .And im sure that Dubh has tried to change this especially after the spiteful ad's he ran against our current President in a previous election.
Lambda It just WONT work
Its The biggest problem i have with Dubh's campaign.
People are already complaining that we have had an increase in income tax. Well you think this is bad , It wont be a patch on the taxes you will pay if lambda proceeds,
Some say "you wont need money as all food , gifts and weapons will be supplied by the state "
Dont make me laugh ,
We dont have enough dedicated people to successfully distribute food , weapons , gifts , organise housing for 500 people on a daily basis ,
As well as keeping all state companies running , running a military , foreign affairs, health, new citizens , and finance ,
Im sure ive omitted many others .
Lambda workswell on paper , in a country where the only people there, want to be there and be part of that system . That means everybody .
A question for you Dubh
Considering how closely you have worked on project Lambda. Is there a place for the TRAITOR Brian Boru (sorry brian ,it hasn't gone away u know) on your cabinet ?
Brian the mighty , the republican , the legal whiz , the amazing economist.
But brian wrote most of our constitution !!!
He did , and used the same laws he wrote to escape any ramifications for stealing the countries property.
The same man was minister for finance a while ago too , And he set up state RM (raw material) companies in countries with Medium resources . Which wer a waste of gold , and eventually sold at a loss .
The same man who has great ideas for our military , the republican who wants NI back but at the same time would like to know why we didn't support "our oldest allies " the UK ,when they were getting invaded by eden .
The same man who has a paltry military record yet claims to fight so hard for Ireland
The same man who fought ONCE in the 2nd RW.
Johnsmith2k9
I like john , he knows that , And i think john will make a truly great president someday.
He has nearly all the qualities needed to suceed, his drive and his commitment are unrivalled.
But john wont be getting my vote either today (he also knows that)
Because
IT's Nith who'll be getting my vote
I have always found Nith to be very approachable , always answered any questions i had for him . He's level headed , and he has experience .
For me , a fighting gorilla , He knows the military .
If you want to fix a military you dont ask a banker , or a lawyer.
You go to a man who knows the military side of the game , a man who is already a part of the system and can see where it falls short , and knows how to fix it
So today , Vote for Nith .
Cheers
Castaneda

"Lambda It just WONT work"
You haven't seen it, so you don't know.
"He did , and used the same laws he wrote to escape any ramifications for stealing the countries property."
No ramifications?
Being heavily censured by the Dail isn't a ramification?
Who HAS seen it Brian?
Genuine question, you know I am railing at Dub for trying to do everything solo, in a bubble, with no input from people who are heavily involved in the stuff of his theoretics...so same question to you.
Who HAS seen it? Whose input has been incorporated, and what talents/skills/background/relevance have they?
Just askin' , like.
Gráinne.
Myself and Dubhthaigh, but do bear in mind that the plan will be up for public debate AFTER the Presidential elections.
I think this article demonstrates perfectly how election season can turn the whole media into a bloody circus, there is no way I'm going to put Lambda into that so that our political opponents can use it as a political tennis ball.
Lambda is a large project, therefore it must be debated seriously, with election considerations more or less aside.
Hold on a minute Brian , i havnt seen anyone else running using lambda in their manifesto
So u guys really did start this off
Brian refuses to release it until after the election ..most likely as it has somethings that will damage dubhs chances.
I think a few of us have seen something at least very similar to Project Lambda. This is the billionth time I've beat this to death, but the Theocrats made a very similar plan work to great effect with much, much less to work with.
Because the Theocrats all agree , everyone , to work in this environment . And ONE of the reasons they left SK was to get away from the day to day running of a country, because of the difficulties involved in this . Am i wrong Brad ?
"Hold on a minute Brian , i havnt seen anyone else running using lambda in their manifesto"
The reason we have it in our manifesto is to demonstrate that we are at least ATTEMPTING to think of radical new ways to advance eIreland.
So use it when you see fit , but no-one else is allowed to bring it up , i get you 😉
same oul brian
Hhmmm, I see, Brian.
Well, I gotta say that doesn't plaster a smile onto my wee face, but hey, I'm hardly surprised tbh.
I just find it "a little off" that the whole campaign for Dub and yourself revolves around detailed plans that
A) aren't published for the electorate to see.
😎 have not been sensitised, contributed-to, or verified by anyone at the coal-face of the topics concerned.
C) Will only be at debate stage IF you guys are voted in.
So why didnt you finalise the plan BEFORE asking for support?
What seat in cabinet did Dub promise you to get you to convert to supporting him?
Or is the whole super-sekrit thing really a way of selling snake-oil?
I already posted my opinion on Dub arriving here as a USA spy from JJ with readymade plans when I was CoS( uhm, on Bristels article I think?)
I had a chequered history with you too, working with you in cabinet. But besides that, I did respect you for your economics.
Your famous coup etc was poor judgement on your part, and will dog you for a long time, but hey, I even tried to help you out there if you recall?
Dub, no, just a dodgy spy who has dug in a while since, playing on the RL Irish thing to look more kosher than he is, and with a mentor who denies all of course...but Grainne never forgets.
( mmwwwuuhahahaha )
*sigh*
Really, all anyone wants is a strong united country without the continual ego-show and back-biting.
What do you reckon? Is it likely anytime in my e-lifetime?
Me dreads to think...my negative side tells me "s'never gonna happen".
Audience?
Vote Nith.
You can trust him, and he knows what he's doing.
And yep C, you are right. Military dictatorship/communism only works when your population are all dedicated Soldiers 😉
Uhm, that's not eIreland 😃
YET !!!
"So use it when you see fit , but no-one else is allowed to bring it up , i get you 😉
same oul brian"
You're perfectly entitled to bring it up, but just expect me to come say you're wrong when you get the details wrong.

First of all, Dubh's campaign does not revolve around Lambda.
Secondly, ALL contributions to the Project are welcome once we release it AFTER the elections. So the talk about "Oh, they made it on their own without referring to others" will be nothing more than talk.
Thirdly, I intend to go ahead with Project Lambda regardless of who wins the Presidential election. My concern for Lambda if Nith or JSK win is because both their economic advisors have shown themselves hostile to the plan, though I hope that will change once they see the legislation.
Lastly, Project Lambda is not communism.
Anyone that says so is a scaremonger.
I'm sure Senator McCarthy would be proud.
Dubh's election as President will not have a massive impact on how we push Lambda. It will still need Dáil support! 😛
Brian Brian Brian
You know that calling me three times is a Celtic Spell, right?
lol
So sorry, BB, I missed a bit, being spellbound an' all... 😉
Which cabinet position were you promised, did you disclose?
And who called it communism? Not me.
I was referring to Theocracy, a subject I know exceedingly well 🙂

Again, so selective Dub. You forgot one of your articles though, the interesting one :

I made a full copy, just in case it gets lost somewhere, or slips your mind again.
"Which cabinet position were you promised, did you disclose?"
Stay on the bloody point.
Nith on the 5th!
😉
@boru If you read grainne's second post you will see that the already asked you that question , you replied to the other questions she asked , Why is it changing the subject to answer that one ?
Aww, don't swear BB, I did ask it already, it was on the point. Read again.
Wow, you and Dub are in bad form today, both here and in IRC.
I hope the angry and impatient sides of your natures will not be inflamed by foreign presidents and activities if you are elected. That would be unthinkable.
So anyway, what was it?
Will you tell me?
And the rest of the country?
Thanks !
😃
good stuff cas I am right there with you!
Simple cas, how does the Cabinet relate to Project Lambda?
Dying of a cold, can't help but be on bad form.
/me throws Lemon n Honey and Echinacea, and refrains from answering how the cabinet relates to Lambda.
Bad karma to mock the afflicted 😉
