Her. Just saying.

Well you can see why he'd be confused.

ducks and runs

I'm telling on you!

Seriously though, another person from ATS that I would like to see in office is phage. He is a really intelligent man and has alot to offer.

On that note, I too would like to see Bill (SO) in office. I would like to see Springer as VP and Crakeur as the Cheif of Staff.

In other words, for those of you that don't understand the American political system:

Figurehead, politcal face - SO
Brains behind the operation -Crakeur
the reason we pray nothing ever happens to the figurehead - Springer

Oh...

And questioningall for Ultimate CT Czar...

@ yeahright: Byrd Brain...Bird Brain (nice play on homonyms there!)

Exactly Now you're getting it. By the way Mark just called. He says you are fired

If YOU are the brains, we are already so screwed it won't matter that I am a genius.

Springer...

Just to let all know...

I knew I'd have to follow this thread after the ~political office~ in the title...

Every Mod & Staff Member has now engaged the following modes...

I would have to pick TheLibra,

Other than that, hmmm.

SO? Na, wouldn't last a day on the campaign trail, neither would Springer or Chissler (oops, I mean Crackeur) All of them are too honest. It would be a bloodbath.

Byrd? Holy hell! She would be awesome in a debate, (that logic and reason crap always screws people up)

The nomination and electoral processes are terribly flawed !

I can't really nominate anyone because of my friends list.

BYRD would get my vote.

But I want Zorgon to be director of ATSNSA.

I think S'dog should be forced into MODdom.

Have any of you ever considered A Monarchy ?

I love the fact that you outlined some more specifics.

However, you never mentioned an ATS/BTS member you would want to see in office.

Did you forget, or are you winding up for a finale?

reply to post by tothetenthpower


tothetenthpower, that was a part of my point exactly, about people not knowing people.

I do not see how this would be necessarily an easy choice, if you do not know them.

As an ATS friend, you would almost be playing favortism, if you picked off your friends list.

If you hear of someone's reputation, however, or have read their writing, it makes a change.

Isn't demonstrating my point through how difficult it would be in itself kind of interesting?

I thank you for your nomination, that list of people like you is building, for me.

Should I tally those nominations at some point, or just use the thread as it is alone?

Elevatedone has my vote. I stumbled upon his profile page and found a list of rules he would implement. Well here they are.

Wow, while I can say I like elevatedone, a lot, I am not sure if his list is serious or a joke.

Why The Hell Would I Want To Become P.O.T.U.S., Really People?

That's all I really got to say on that issue.

Well Since I can not nominate SpartanKingLeonidas, as he is one my friends list I would have to say Skeptic Overlord. Bill would make a great Governor or congressional representative. Clear headed, Skeptical but open minded, Smart enough to affect good significant changes in the benefit of the people as opposed to lobby groups...especially with his experience with lobby groups..

DO IT BILL!!!! RUN FOR OFFICE!

I'd vote for you.

That's it, I'm up into the mid-double digits now, just on ATS/BTS.

SO would do good in politics, I would like to see his reply to people stating that.

Somehow, I wish I could have made this an actual poll for all of ATS to vote.

Maybe this can become the premise of a poll?

No clue how to make that happen other than put it out there.

Sorry Dude,

But i wouldn't trust anyone on this site.

Question belongs in BTS.

No one?

Really?

Care to share your reasoning?

Apparently, Admin/Moderators agree with your BTS analysis.

Not complaining, but I prefer ATS more.

I would have voted for Jamie, but he got banned some time ago for some reason.

I don't know that member, so I cannot comment.

Without going into the issue of the ban, can you share why you think that?

I am not touching the issue of the ban, I just thought it was important to include all.

People would have done it anyway, I was just being inclusive instead of exclusive.

Very good choice.

I have seen this individual's posts and they are marvelous.

Thanks for posting.

If he would include eliminating "crazy checks" I'd agree that elevatadone would be a serious contender.

What is a "crazy check"?

Sorry, it must be something I have never come across.

I've hired a hit man with a standing contract to knock off any of my friends who go into politics....ever.

...Including me.

Just kidding but I still think its a good idea.

Honestly. Think about it...would you want any of your buds you share a brew with anywhere near the halls of power?

That was my argument against bush minor in 2000 as well. Everyone was saying he seemed like a guy you could sit down and have a beer with.

Well duh!!! And look how well that turned out.


[edit on 7-10-2009 by grover]

Seeing as how I do not drink, I cannot comment specifically on the brew comment.

Don't get me started on Bush.

That's how I would like to see the man.

Power elite families should automatically be disqualified from becoming politicians.

It should be someone people can relate to 100% but I do see your point.

I nominate:

MemoryShock ... imagine the filibusters.

Good choice and as well good reasoning.

Great guy, his posts are always eloquent and well thought out.

If you weren't on my friends list, SD, I'd nominate you, just not sure which office.

Puppy Czar?

I'm surprised no body has brought up Dave and Johnny yet.

Alas, I still give my vote to SO.

On that note, I too would like to see Bill (SO) in office. I would like to see Springer as VP and Crakeur as the Cheif of Staff.

The three of them are intelligent, and really could do a great deal of good for this country.

Well, you're not on my friends list, yet, gimme_some_truth, but I've heard good things.

I have seen you around and I am impressed and think you might be good for office.

Takes finding out the truth and relying it to others seriously.

Seen Byrd around.

Thanks for posting.
