A Concession and a Plea
•
by General Lex Luthor
Today, I ran for congress in South Carolina in the hopes of helping to repeal the recent manipulative and unacceptable tax increases. And while voting will still be going for a while, it has become clear that my bid for congress has been defeated. I would like to thank those of you who did vote for me and assure you that the fight is not over.
Now, to those who are still in the running and to those who will eventually win, I make this plea: Listen to and act on the will of the people! It does not take a congressional veteran to know that there is a spirit of elitism and exclusivity in many areas of this game and congress is not immune to this disease. However, you must resist the peer pressure from those of your fellow congressmen who would have you believe they know better than the people who you represent. Be proactive in listening. ASK for opinions and determine a consensus and then act on that consensus in the halls of congress. Tyranny comes in many forms. Be certain that it doesn't come in the form of your vote.
Thank you again to all who showed me support and congratulations to those who will win.

damn, I like this guy!
get a good handle on the political scene, Dusty, the ins and outs and the back room deals, get yourself a decent ballot placement, and I'll back you all the way next month.
I'm given to understand the South Carolina is "an iNCi State." in other words, the outcome is predetermined by agreement between the Parties, and only blockers are to be placed against the iNCi candidate.
I feel Dusty's Party threw him under the bus by leading him to believe he could and should run a proper campaign there.
myself, I'm bucking the system by "going rogue" and using my blocker status to launch a last minute campaign.
I will not likely win in this heavily iNCi populated State. but win or lose, every vote for me sends a message that the system is broken, and politics as usual just don't fly anymore.
~hyuu~
"I'll back you all the way next month." +1
you might not win this time but as long as the american people play this game you will always have a chance.
@Custer: Before you speak, know what the hell you are talking about:
"I feel Dusty's Party threw him under the bus by leading him to believe he could and should run a proper campaign there."
Dusty is a Lib. Libs are now a Sixth Party". Dusty started late and was placed by a Top Five to replace a blocker.
"I'm given to understand the South Carolina is "an iNCi State." in other words, the outcome is predetermined by agreement between the Parties, and only blockers are to be placed against the iNCi candidate."
I'm calling bullshit here. I won in what is "an iNCi state (NY) and YOU won in an iNCi state". Parties do not devide up regions, but when the iNCi had power, they were tough to beat.
@DUSTY: Keep it up, man! Make sure you change your party back to Libs. Get active with us on the forums and chatroom. Volunteer for party jobs. Make a name for yourself - you're on the right path already!
Jude, my damn hippie brother...
that "an iNCi State" phrase was presented to me by several people, along with the explanation of how things have been for quite some time. I didn't make it up.
Dusty, or anyone else, never told me anything about him being a Lib running as USWP. late cross-Party entries are often dropped into the chart wherever they can be fit in, it's unfortunate that his first political experience was to be placed in an unwinnable race.
