2005 A2K Elections

You really should wipe our chocolate off your face before you criticize us, Nimh. That isn't nice at all.

For everyone's information...Nimh has been openly frolicking in our chocolate fountains at the Love & Beauty rally at Eva's Wine Cellar. We welcomed him openly, as we do all undecideds. But apparently his intentions were not honorable. I see now that while he was smiling and enjoying our considerable hospitality, he must have been spying on us. (Sigh.)

Shame on you, nimh.

Shame, shame, shame.

Soz...do you still want such a duplicitous, unethical character for a campaign manager? I'd send him packing if I were you. He's going to give your campaign a bad name.

Love & Beauty would never stoop so low. If you're looking for a Party with standards, vote Love & Beauty. (And fast cars. And compassion. And sensibility. And cat shows. And escape novels. And champagne. And chocolate. And NO taxes...EVER.)

Yup - the Love and Beauty Party promises you everything your heart desires ... and they'll make it appear by pure magic!


Oy!

I brought my own scrumptious chocolate cake to the Cellar, wot - and good it was! Home-baked. Y'all ate it up ...

And y'all enjoyed the cherry juice I brought even as I was telling you folks to consider Sozobe and Farmerman as the real alternative to stop the looming GKE take-over!

I didn't hear you complaining back then ...

I say, your indignation is as fake as your promises are! You'd better apologize now, you hear.

I mean - fuzzy math and nasty insinuations ... you give love / a bad name.

(Oh god I cant believe I just quoted Bon Jovi. OK, that's it. Now I'm gonna go to bed ... try to behave youselves while I'm gone, 'K? ;-))

go to bed man!








we wanna eat your cake.

Sorry man, I think the girls finished it all already ... but tomorrow, I'll make you a new one!

Oh, that is GREAT news, Dag! "Wise Assistant" would be good. "All-Knowing, All-Seeing Oz" would be even better. I have missed him around here. His sage advice and razor-sharp insights will be a great addition to the Party! Where is he? I wanna give him a big smooch!!!

A smooch, venison, and cold beer for Dys!

Well, Nimh...you've been quite the speech-giver today, haven't you?! There are a few, um, inconsistencies in your remarks, however...



Flip-flopping? Wasn't that what the EKG Party accused you of a couple of days ago? My, my, all these accusations flying around in the air, it's a wonder we can still breathe!



No, no, you're the one proposing new taxes to cover your outrageously ambitious agenda. A tax on carrots, I believe you said. Or is it lentils? Oh, that's right, you changed it (FLIP FLOP!) the minute that Dlowan showed interest in joining your party. I believe you called that...let me look it up...ah, yes, here it is...CATERING TO SPECIAL INTERESTS.

We are the NO TAXES...EVER Party. We are financially self-sufficient. Craven says we don't need any more money, the text greenies are all we need. We have more than enough money for virtually anything you can think of. So why in the A2K world would you want to RAISE TAXES?



Why, thank you! BTW, it's called "integrity." We are the Love & Beauty Party. Of course we're lovable. We even love little ol' misguided you. {smooch}

Oh, and you're absolutely right. I forgot to thank you for bringing the cherry juice to the Wine Cellar. It was delicious. The chocolate cake, however, was a bit on the dry side. May I suggest you use better quality chocolate next time? We'll loan you some. We have plenty.

Heee heee heee. I luuurve this thread. And the other three or four. Time well spent away from work...

Just making sure that everyone knows that when I said this, I meant that I was nominating myself, and that yes, Ima win. That's all.

A MESSAGE FROM A GKE SUPPORTER.

What we have here is a situation. You know the score...I know the score.
You need to show some respect.
All I ask is that you give the GKE offer some consideration, but refusal will bring its own consequences.

VOTE FOR KICKY,
OR THINGS GET STICKY.

I plead guilty on the veggies charge. And Dlowan is indeed very special, I'm glad you see that. Perhaps now you can think again about those lowly attempts you've stooped to, ever since she chose our side, to smear her as some kind of psychiatric case? It's really quite unlovely and unpretty...

Hey, all I'm proposing is to keep these elections at least halfway decent - to focus any stridency in it on the issues, like we've been doing. Instead of always playing on the man. That shouldn't be a problem for a party of love and beauty! As soon as you actually identify where you stand on an issue or two, I'm sure you'll be well able to avoid the smears and personal attacks!


The text greenies are sufficient to run a board, Eva. Not free food and drink, chocolate fountains, fast cars, cat shows and naked chicks for everyone. You're the one who came up with all that - or rather, your ingeniuous campaign manager did. So what gives? Promising all that is fine with me - it's all in good fun! But then to go scaremongering about other candidates raising one's taxes? Nasty, nasty <shakes head sadly>.

As for us, look at our programme. It's serious, it's true. We're the only party with an actual programme. If that makes us look dour in comparison, so be it. It's realistic. We balance out spendings and savings. Will finance a decent working wage for all by clamping down on monopolies and fraud, putting transparency before everything. Will save costs by suspending support to dictators, rewarding responsible behaviour instead. Improving sex education so fewer abortions will be necessary. (I have some good sex threads in mind already). We'll increase agricultural productivity by protecting lifestock against disgraceful violations. Accountants we are not - but we are accountable!


Frankly, my dear, I've been appalled that a party claiming to stand for Love and Beauty has waged what must be the nastiest and cheapest campaign tactics of all.

To the voters I say, there is a clear choice. The GKE Party has the best jokes - but it's run by shady figures, and the grumpy old men don't shy away from outright threats of violence. The Sex and Bribes Party doesn't even have the good jokes. It has nothing to offer but empty promises, and tries to make up for its vacuity by launching one mean-spirited personal attack after another.

Vote for a clean ticket. Vote for an honest candidate. Vote for someone who dares to make choices. Who actually stands for something. This May, vote the people's choice. Vote Sozobe, Farmerman or Dlowan. You know it makes sense.

What shall we do for my sweet cousins, the hamsters?

At present they are working for beans - no retirement scheme - no health benefits - it is a disgrace.

This party, whichever it is, has just lost my vote....

OK. If you're to the point of graphing a mock election on A2K, then you need to unplug for a while....

I see that I apprear in Pink.

Dag, Dys, Eva, Noddy and lil'k are in good company....

Where am I?

<<harumph>> I refuse to speak to any of you...I can't believe I didn't get nominated....

Bella, let me be the first to say that we would be honored to welcome you into the fold. You have a combination of intelligence, realism, and humor that would add depth and meaning to our ticket.

Spoken like a true politician....
