What's all the fuss about?

Last few days in erep have been typical insanity as the election for country president approaches. What is coming in the next few is sure to top it.

We have 3 front-runners, and due to some difficulties over at EPIC HQ in retrieving the preference of the membership, it is not quite at planned.
They are:
Aeriala
Addy Lawerence
Rolo Tahamasee

Now, I would like to give you some plain talk. Any one of these players can do a fine job of running the country. There are all perfectly capable in skill as well as character. They all all good people, really!!

We are in the midst of some serious mud slinging and finger pointing and name calling and whatever else is going down. Who knows what to believe anymore? So many have gone numb to it.

I won't tell you I think you should vote for, but I will tell you who I am going to vote for. Aeriala is my choice and why?

Because voting for Rolo will cause instability, not because I think he will do something bad, but because of his history. There will be impeachment votes spurred on by those who won't or can't forgive. Then more fights and I-told-you-so's. Treian's presence won't fix this, but rather, if it backfires it will harm his political future. I would much rather see Rolo make some sort of peace with the Canadian electorate and then run a campaign.

Addy Lawrence is, I'm told, away camping and not really interested in being CP. I can't say this is fact, only what I have heard. I do know past attempts at CP by this fine fellow have ended with poor showing at the polls and if he were interested in being CP, there would be some indication of that by him. He would have written some articles before he left at least, his last was to ask members for a CP candidate, I guess they didn't suggest anybody so he put himself in.

Areiala is now facing some difficult opposition from some who seem to consider him a poor candidate, although the reasoning doesn't add up. I thought he a good job last time in a difficult situation. There is no part of him being CP that requires that I consider either of the other candidates. MU funding, after all is in Congress hands at the end of the day.
Aeriala has asked me to serve as his VP and I have accepted. This I do to support who I see as the best choice this month and I would not turn down a chance to serve my country in this manner. I hope he wins. I hope you make your decision based of what is best for you and your country.

Aeriala is a poor candidate

He causes much more instability because of his own doing that I could possibly cause because of my past

Will there be impeachment attempts? Yes, I guarantee it. Will we find 14 congressman who can look past the semantics and know what is best for the country and be counted on to vote No? - Yes I think we can

That controversy that surrounds Aeriala isn't because of actions that Aeriala did in the past, it's what he does on a daily basis that rubs people the wrong way. His entire demeanor is what makes him a bad choice for President. Look at the way he treats people and it's all you need to know.

Now on to the issue of Rolo. You said there's too many people that can't forigve and move on, but you want him to launch of a "Friendship" campaign to try and win them over? What's the point. You already said they can't move on.

The way I see it the only way to guarantee a full-term Rolo Presidency is for Aeriala to take second. Best of luck to him.

Vote anything but Rolo.

What I do on a daily basis rubs ppl the wrong way? Lets see what I do on a daily basis? I try to help communication, help Canada, help our allies, make donations to help MUs and players, try to be entertaining, keep ppl with responsibility positions on their toes so they might try harder. Yep it's horrid. Every single person I have made loans and personal donations to should hate me because I'm a terrible person.
