Why I Support Emerick For President
Silas Soule
- Tons of experience in the game.
- A pretty cool guy who communicates well with the public.
- Can be trusted to assemble a good, solid team in a time of turmoil.
- Recognizes talent when he sees it.
- Isn't afraid to shake things up when they need to be shaken.
- The right combination of elite skills and libertarian sensibilities.
For what it's worth, I think he's the best guy for the job at this point.
So Why Did I Run For CP If I Support Emerick?
Mainly for the fun of it. And it has been tons of fun.
But all good things must come to an end.
What About the Other Candidates?
- I don't know Pfeiffer/Henry Arundel. I'm sure he's very capable and all, it just seems like his team is mainly the "old school gang". So, meh.
- Laxsnor seems like a good guy. Evry too. But wouldn't it be like having accountants running the country? Just sayin'.
- Lefty from Mulberry Street cracks me up. And yeah, I'm all for Freemasons taking over everything. 'bout time.
- George Pumpkinette is a national treasure.
- Pizza the Hut. Oh lord help me. Just say no.
About the SFP primary
As reported recently by outstanding Freedom Writer and SFP President Mark Valshannar, I won the SFP's party primary for PoTUS candidate on a write-in campaign and was then duly nominated as a CP candidate by the Socialist Freedom Party.
Despite my friend Macht Geil's delightful observation that the poll shows that "PQ is 7.1 percent more awesome than emerick" (LOL), and despite brother Deniz Kabus' equally heart-warming statement that "SFP and PQ are lovable" in this PoTUS Endorsement article, I feel it is necessary to point out that:
- I did not start this write-in campaign. In fact, I voted for Emerick in the primary polling.
- To anyone who asked, I made it clear that Emerick was my preferred choice as the next President.
- In my responses to Gnilraps' interview questions, I made it quite clear that I respect Emerick's capabilities as an Executive and his judgement in world affairs and I think he is a p cool character.
The SFP is a democratic and multi-tendency party. People have different opinions about the merits of various players, and about the degree to which the Party should support different Goverment policies and programs and so forth. For example, there was a lively debate over policy towards iNCi, among other things.
In general the SFP doesn't air its laundry in public. But perhaps some degree of explanation is in order to waylay any confusion.
This primary vote -- and the ensuing realization that I would encourage people to support Emerick's campaign -- led to a situation the Party had not previously encountered. It quickly became evident that the primary likely did not reflect the actual will of the party members. It seemed that the real plurality supported Emerick's candidacy, so a vote of the Revolutionary Committee -- the SFP's leading body -- was held to reconsider the veracity of the primary.
A majority of the RC voted to revise the results to indicate that Emerick was the SFP's preferred candidate. But it was not a unanimous vote. And the opposition to changing the results made some noteworthy points regarding inner-party democracy. That led, in turn, to a discussion on some of the finer points of the Party's Constitution, which are still continuing.
Meanwhile, election day draws nearer. So I have taken this somewhat unusual step of going public with this report on an internal party matter, as well as personally encouraging people to support Emerick's campaign for CP.
Hope that doesn't get me sent to re-education camp... again. That "How to write an article in under 10,000 words" session was murder.

@Ace: jeez. see what re-education camp does to a me?
o7, SFP is awesome!
Emerick is a troll
PQ is great
george pumpkinette is presidency
Thanks for your support, Phoenix. Make sure to make an actual run soon.
Emerick is totally competent for PrezFag and would do a great job, but wouldn't it be totally hilarious if Ajay won? Either one can do the job.
I will hold my vote until late.
PQ for prez
haha loftedraptor what would Ajay actually do if he won presidency? I believe he would just troll America while jerking off to Reagan. Then quit.
^This
@ Turd LOL he can't possibly be any worse than any of of the rest of the medal seeking wankers I have watched during my long life in this silly game!
"PQ for prez" x2
This is totally messing me up. I voted for George Pumpkinette in the SFP primary - probably the only SFP party member to do so. But when Civil Anarchy pulsed me on this, I made it as clear as I could that PQ was my preferred candidate, and not Emerick. I didn't go into any more details. There is no point to that. So what do I do now ? Revert back to my longstanding friendship with George and get run over by the Emerick steamroller. I suppose I could just be stubborn and vote for PQ anyway, despite this article. If we are going to let it all hang out like this, I might as well write my own tome. Yup, I think that's what I'll do.
Don't know how well I will do until you elect me... until then you are all speculating. 🙂
@ Pizza, I don't need to watch a nuke go off to know beforehand that it would be an ultimately detrimental thing.
