I looked forward all day to write this article. Today, we step away from epolitics and towards the humor that can be found in eRep. To do this, we need only look at one prominent citizen.
While I'm sure there are others, there exists one who rises above and commands our attention with every word he types. I present to you none other than Emerick the Great. He is great! Isn't he?

I've only been here a short while(day 551). It didn't take me long to discover Emerick in the comments sections. I proceeded to subscribe to the International Press. I have read his positions on many issues and cannot find a way to disagree. I do find that while he can be silly at times, he is be able to be serious when needed. His eknowledge is vast and he is highly qualified to become our next leader. I barely know him. I'd like that to change.

This is no interview. This is not an evaluation of his political idealogy. This is not the news. This is Emerick in his own words. I've gathered some quotes from around different sources available. It is my hope that you enjoy these quotes and laugh a little. Some of these may bring you back in time. For some, it will be the first time. Take a ride with me.


Emerick

"So yeah, vote for me for greatness in Texas, or vote for the other guy, who is a complete tool."

"Religion is Off-Limits!Don't Mess w/Scrab's
Jesus if You Know What's Good For Ya!!!"

"I'm going to beat up Scrab</strong>, in real life... Until he unbans me... For every day that I'm banned, <strong>Scrab will get beat up. I guarantee it."

"When I say that I like to soak in the experience, I don't mean that I'm like the kid in American Beauty who watches bags float around for hours; I'm the kind of person who would see how I could make it dance more beautifully, or add some leaves and paper cups to make it a nice ensemble."

"Indo's teat is indeed tasty, but that has nothing to do with my utter hatred of Romania."

"Some countries don't even have penises. Some countries have vaginas. We can't have that. Am I the only one who's disturbed by this?"

"Geno hit the nail on the head. Emerick is great."

"Jon, it's Indonesia's teat, not Romania. I drink milk, not vinegar."

"Let's talk about why you're going to elect me in West Virginia."

"Bonjour new French Canadiens! You got your azzes wiped, no?"

I WILL DO GOOD THINGS THAT PEOPLE WILL LIKE.
I WILL BE A GOOD AND NICE PRESIDENT PLEASE ENJOY ME THANK YOU

"Skraedos</strong> and <strong>Claire sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G"

Johnathan McCravey says "Emerick has a big mouth. Emerick is still right."

Congressional Budget Office: "The CBO has analyzed the situation. The conclusion: "Emerick is great"


For those of you who missed Emerick's performance at the debate, I present to you his opportunity to ask Ajay a question. (http://pastebin.ca/1477158)

[00:34] * Woxan sets mode: +v Emerick#
[00:34] {Woxan} Emerick the great is up#
[00:34] {Emerick} sup
[00:35] {HarrisonRichardson} Emerick is Great.
[00:35] {Emerick} Agreed
[00:35] {Emerick} I have several questions, if you gentlemen don't mind
[00:35] {Ajay} Sure Emerick is Great.
[00:35] {Emerick} First, if given the chance, what country would you want to attack.
[00:36] {HarrisonRichardson} me first?
[00:36] {Emerick} Oh yeah
[00:36] {Emerick} Sorry, I forgot
[00:37] {HarrisonRichardson} If I had the chance, I'd attack Portugal. They are our only real enemy and I think it'd be a good test for our resurgent (read: one that doesn't need reformed) military
[00:37] {HarrisonRichardson} only real enemy with a border*
[00:38] {Emerick} Thank you
[00:38] {Emerick} Ajay?
[00:39] {Emerick} Ajay?
[00:39] {Ajay} Let's see
[00:39] {HarrisonRichardson} He is stumped.
[00:39] {Ajay} How about this
[00:39] {HarrisonRichardson}
[00:39] {Ajay} No
[00:39] {Ajay} I am stumped by my opponents response. I, for one.. will ONLY use our armed forces to protect our sovereignty and that of our allies.
[00:39] {Emerick} You would never attack any country?
[00:39] {Emerick} Ever?
[00:39] {Ajay} The fact that my opponent already has a target in mind even before being elected is frightening.
[00:39] {Emerick} For any reason?
[00:40] {Emerick} Personally, I'd blow the shit out of Ireland
[00:40] {HarrisonRichardson} and end our war games?
[00:40] {Emerick} They keep attacking Rhode Island
[00:40] {Ajay} We should NOT speculate on who we will attack focus on protecting our homeland and our allies, as well as the serious domestic issues that Americans want to see addressed
[00:40] {HarrisonRichardson} oh ok.
[00:40] {Emerick} Enough is enough
[00:40] {Ajay} yet*
[00:40] {Ajay} I favor war games with ireland.
[00:40] {Ajay} they are a great benefit to both our peoples.
[00:41] {Emerick} It's something you need to think about
[00:41] {Ajay} Also
[00:41] {Ajay} let me close with this
[00:41] {Emerick} You need to stay on your toes
[00:41] {Ajay} they are NOT equivalent to any sort of war in a major combat theatre.
[00:41] {Ajay} I would keep war games in place to train the military, but we should not use a serious enemy such as Portugal as our training ground
[00:41] {Emerick} For example, when President Bush attacked Israel, don't you think that he had run the scenerio through his head thousands of times?
[00:42] {Ajay} and people say I can't seperate real life from eRepublik
[00:42] {Ajay} ah
[00:42] {@Woxan} This is eRepublik, not real life
[00:42] {@Woxan> Please stay on point
[00:42] {HarrisonRichardson} It isn't a training ground. Our military is ready (see: Central Greece)
[00:42] {Ajay} Oy vei!
[00:42] {Ajay} is all I have to say to that
[00:42] {Emerick} Also http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-irish-question-797382/1/20
[00:42] {Emerick} Ok, next question
[00:42] {@Woxan} Emerick, one more question.
[00:42] {Emerick} Just one?
[00:43] {Emerick} Gah
[00:43] {@Woxan} Yeah
[00:43] {Emerick} Ok
[00:43] {Emerick} Let me look through my notes.....
[00:43] {Emerick} Ajay
[00:45] {HarrisonRichardson} can we kind of.. hurry this along?
[00:45] {@Woxan} If you could hurry it up, your greatness.
[00:45] {Emerick} Earlier, you described your speaking methods as "intellectual depth" after Harrison complained about your tactless rhetoric. As a fellow conservative, I find your senseless rhetoric appalling and offensive. Do you actually know what you're saying when you speak, or do you just spout out whatever Sean Hannity says?
[00:46] {Emerick} Also rimjobs.
[00:46] {@Woxan} I'll allow this.
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] {Emerick} INTELLECTUAL DEPTH
[00:46] * Woxan sets mode: -v Emerick
[00:46] {HarrisonRichardson} wow..
[00:46] {HarrisonRichardson} ...
[00:46] {HarrisonRichardson} that was pretty awesome.
[00:47] {Woxan} I have to agree here.
