The United States of Halforums (Presidential Election?)

#1

All right, I have to ask:

I vaguely remember back in '07 on That Other Now Extinguished Forum that there was a mock Presidential Election held. I also vaguely remember participating in said election, but withdrew my bid when I realized I had nowhere near the time & energy to properly "play" said "game."

That being said, I do believe that President Amy and Vice President Sera have reached the final year of their term - and there should be some sort of election process going on here.

Now, I understand that this was under the old TONE Forum, but still - what exactly have Amy/Sera done for us in this country we call USH?
  • We now resort to a benevolent dictatorship in King Dave-O the Nth to provide us internet access;
  • We have Secretary of Defense Shegokigo in control of the Big Red button;
  • The economy still sucks;
  • GasBandit still runs amok.
So, it is at this time that I am hereby throwing my hat back in the ring, announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of the US of H.

And, if anyone out there wants to make a game of it - well, so be it.

So does this mean that Sera is going to run for the nomination of her party in Amy's stead?

EDIT: Oh, and I'm looking at hiring Krisken to be my campaign manager.

I intend to run a tight, well-organized campaign. I promise to end the threat of sauna pants forever, and loosen the laws involving manslaughter and murder committed by lesbian Latinas. Also, by the end of my third term, I promise that the Grue will be sufficiently fed with steak.

I will also make being a killjoy a federal crime. Punishment to be administered either by Secretary of Justice Shegokigo... or by forcing the culprit to watch Teletubbies 24/7 indefinitely.

Well the important thing is that you run his campaign and I run the PAC and in no way will we discuss the PAC's completely unrelated attack ads on his opponents.

Or use the money to buy a sweet helicopter. That would totally be an abuse of the system.

Also Krisken, on a completely unrelated note guess what I just found an listing for:

Espy, I saw they had it instant watch on Netflix and I've been holding off just because I was afraid of ruining the nostalgia I have for it. Then again, I wasn't disappointed by The Greatest American Hero, so what the hell, right?

And we definitely don't coordinate.

The first two seasons are the best. It gets a little silly in the later episodes (er, sillier) to the point of being hard to watch. But the earlier stuff, totally awesome.

I may have the series box set on DVD that came with the cape. ::looks around sheepishly:: Er, no, I never wore it.

Technically grues can vote. It's just that they rather eat the voting booth and leave no ticket.

We Canadians will have our own election, and then 1812 posts later, we'll have a flame war, resulting in burning down Dave's house.

I did mention that this was the presidency of the United States of Halforums. NOT of America.

Voting requirements, last we checked, was citizenship in Halforums. Which, if you're able to create a new thread, is the requirement.

Candidacy is another thing, though. Don't think we've checked up on age limits.

Right now it's me. Amy is the incumbent, but she hasn't announced whether she's running for a second term; Sera hasn't said if she was going to run for the Prez spot.

And I'm still figuring out how we can do this...

Obviously Halforums will vote for me, and I shall let them run amok, not doing a thing required of my position at all. And I'll draw dicks.

In that case I'll cast my vote for whoever is willing to nominate themselves for PRIME MINISTER of Halforums, and shun this USA politcs overtone.

(Come on, let us Canadians vote for a good Prime Minister. We've forgotten what that's like.)

I just want to go on the record that I have no intention of running for Prime Minister, because that would mean I would have to become a minister first.

I'm honestly not sure how anyone can consider voting for anyone other than Airwolf. Airwolf would make an amazing president and I for one won't let this great opportunity to pass us by.

Also, I think I found a good running mate for Airwolf:

Will our president ever return to claim their rightful place atop the pile of horrible threads littering our once prosperous nation??
