Nominate your president

[imaeditedbysowulo]

I say since we have a new forum, we should elect a president of the forum. That way the people who don't come in here will be jealous cuz we'll have our own president and they won't have anything.

Post in this thread if you would like to nominate someone.

I will use this post to nominate Jaxson, that way I have someone to vote against.

[WebHead]

I nominate me.

[TechZ]

I nominate Techs, I like his views on Bush.

[imaeditedbysowulo]

I will second Wrbby's choice for nomination.

Good well that's one confirmed candidate.

[TechZ]

No offence to WebHead, but he's too nice when it comes to Politicos threads, we need a hunter, like Techs ;)

Too late, I already seconded his nomination. He is the only confirmed candidate so far.

Techs and Jaxson both have been nominated but not 2'd.

[WebHead]

I may be nice,.. but I am also fair. I think I would make a great president of the Politicos board because I am a unifier. A diplomat if you will. I bring peace and common sense to the Windrivers community. If elected president of Windrivers Politicos, I promise to uphold the integrity that originally founded this great website and I would restore order to the galaxy. You know,.. There's an old...saying in Tennessee...I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says Fool me once...(3 second pause)... Shame on...(4 second pause)...Shame on you....(6 second pause)...Fool me...Can't get fooled again. And you can count on that!!!

[WebHead]

I'll second the nomination for Techs.

[techs]

I nominate John F. Kerry.

[imaeditedbysowulo]

Great speech Wrbby...techs is now seconded....

So we got Techs and Wrbby right now with Wrbby being the frontrunner according to the latest polls...very interesting indeed.

[WebHead]

I nominate John F. Kerry.

To be president of the Windrivers Politicos board? Hehe,.. He's too busy running a president of the United States of America campaign so I don't think he'll have the time. :)

[imaeditedbysowulo]

I will second the nomination of John F. Kerry.

[techs]

I will second the nomination of John F. Kerry.

Hey, maybe we can get the daughter with the boobies to address our convention. On a friday, of course.

[WebHead]

I will second the nomination of John F. Kerry.

:eek2:

I don't know if you can second a nomination twice though. It would be an honor to run for president against Mr Kerry though.

[imaeditedbysowulo]

Hey, maybe we can get the daughter with the boobies to address our convention. On a friday, of course.

I'll PM our staff publicist to contact her immediately. If we can't get her we can at least pass around photos of her.

[WebHead]

So how many candidates are we going to have before starting the actual poll for the people to vote?

[imaeditedbysowulo]

I dunno. I forgot to make a plan before I posted it.

How bout we close the nominations off at 11:59 EST Monday Aug 2. That sounds like a fair enough time for me. If we have too many candidates we might have to have some primary action.

[WebHead]

Sweetness. I wonder if anyone will be able to post a speech that reaches out and touches the people of Windrivers as deeply as mine did? I had tears in my eyes as I wrote it.

Your's was touching and magical at the same time. That's a tough combo to beat. The only thing that can beat it would be a catchy campaign slogan.

Something along the lines of...if Meatwad was a candidate he could be all like "Don't let Wrbby beat your MEATwad". Outside of that I think you may be untouchable.

[WebHead]

My campaign slogan: "Never fear, your friendly neighborhood WebHead is here!"

[techs]

I'll PM our staff publicist to contact her immediately. If we can't get her we can at least pass around photos of her.

I think we should have a hamster ready so she can show us what her Dad did.

[Wayward Clam]

One more vote for Webby!!!

[WebHead]

w00t! And if elected, I promise to....
.
.
.
{{5 minutes of politcal banter}}
.
.
.
..as do the rest of them. Which leads me to my point about the other....
.
.
.
.
{{10 more minutes of promises and words}}
.
.
.
... in which case we need to stand up and...
.
.
{{20 minutes of applause, laughter, and more promises}}
.
.
.
... which can ONLY happen if you vote for me. And I promise to stand up and make that happen. Thank you and God bless. :)

[GrandDad]

I Nominate "inferno_gn" !!! :thumbs2:

They would be the perfect pres. for this forum . :thumbs:

[Ya_know]

I don't give a damn who gets elected, I won't respect any one of you turds as a president of anything... :cool:

[WebHead]

If I am elected, then you will obey ALL of my orders. And my first order to you will be to go clean the toilets. I want the toilets sparkling clean. So clean, they sparkle. Got it? Good.

Yeah, that's exactly why I won't follow you...I'll rebel and oust you from your throne! Does the phrase “coup you” mean anything???

[WebHead]

No

[Ya_know]

No

The humor will get lost in the translation...if you don't get it, then don't bother. :thumbs:

[imaeditedbysowulo]

Order in the thread, order in the thread!!! Despite threats from the insurgents, we will carry on with our electoral process.

So Webhead, Techs and John F. Kerry have all been confirmed as candidates, and Jaxson and Julie On have been nominated. Nominations and seconds will be accepted all the way up thru midnight tonight and then we will start the fun stuff. It's looking good for wrbby so far.

[Ya_know]

Well, in that case, I nomonate myself!

And also second the nomination for Jaxson...unless I am only allowed one nomonation, if that's the case, just the one for myself!

[imaeditedbysowulo]

And also second the nomination for Jaxson...unless I am only allowed one nomonation, if that's the case, just the one for myself!

I started the thread so I get to make the rules. That's one of the rules.

I will second your nomination and also accept your second of Jaxson. Now we gots us a great little election campaign!

To summarize:

Candidates: Techs, Webhead, John F. Kerry, Jaxson, Ya_Know

Nominated: Julie On/Inferno

It all comes to a head at 11:59 PM EST tonight, then at some point I will post a poll with all the candidates and we will vote. This is more peopel than I was expecting so we might have to have some primaries or split you fockers up somehow and whittle it down to two final candidates for a final election.

The winner will be allowed to invade the tech lounge and drill for oil. Haha, just kidding. There's no oil in the tech lounge.

So if you have anyone else you think would make a good candidate make sure you nominate them before the end of today.

[paraflyer]

I nominate myself.

As the only Libertarian candidate thus far, I promise little or no government intrusion into the forums. Taxation will be a thing of the past. Crime will be dealt with at the business end of a fully-loaded Lee-Enfield. Freedom of speech to be honored by ALL parties participating in discussions.

Oh, and free beer, too :drink:

I nominate Seeker!

Seeker for President.

[Cleetus]

I'll second that

[TripleRLtd]

Free beer? Well I'll second that.Hey wait. You said you don't drink. So, since I am a Beck's man, I will second that nomination. In fact, I see a new Party Party in the works. Remember that gentlemen? And, to get this going, I see ILTU as Para's running mate. We need a new alternative to the usual
right-wing nut jobs and liberal weenies I envision that to be the new Party Party.
You got my vote guys!!!http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/jammin.gif

BTW:
The beer must include own version of Butt Day and Boobie Day!!http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/cool.gifhttp://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/pbeer.gif

Cleetus is now the official minister of boobies and Seeker is an official candidate. Time for me to go back to work.

The only reason I don't drink is because my body doesn't handle it very well the next day. I still consider myself a drinker tho and encourage others to drink. :drink:

[amyb]

alfred e newman for president

[Titchski]

Question to all candidates: What've you done for me lately?

Cheers :thumbs:

If elected president, you can count on me to make sure that there is a boobie thread started every Friday.

[Spork]

I think this should've been some sort of poll. Unless we're just trying to figure out who all the candidates are.

BTW, my vote is for Webby! Keep the politics outta the lounge! :thumbs:

The question is not what have the candidates done for you... but what have you done for the candidates?

Sorry, couldn't resist. :p

Did I win?

As sexiest girl in WD, no. I think you came in right behind Wayward Clam, sorry... :p

I was the one who helped with Webbys publicity campaign by getting him to sing and dance with Miss Piggy on the muppets.

So Webby gets my vote :thumbs:

[Camaro80z]

I second Ya_know . We need to have atleast one person with an I.Q. higher than the average scoring at a Pistons game running in this election!

[Commander Klarg]

I haven't annihilated your puny planet with photon torpedoes and disruptor fire.

Oh wait, I wasn't nominated. Carry on!

[Wayward Clam]

I really don't think you should allow your fantasies of coming in behind me to interfere with the political process here, Ya_Know :D

[imaeditedbysowulo]

I will post the final list sometime after 11:59 pm EST today. Course it will probably be tomorrow, but that's ok.

So far we have Webhead, Techs, Ya_Know, Jaxson, John F. Kerry and Seeker as votable candidates. Yet to be seconded are Julie On and Alfred E Newman. True you don't even have to exist to win this race, but that doesn't make the post any less honourable.

I think we'll need some kind of a runoff election to narrow it down to a final two candidates, but there's still plenty of time for that.

[WebHead]

You could just put all the names on the poll and the person with the highest amount of votes wins. Yay!

[imaeditedbysowulo]

Nah, we're much more advanced than that. We don't want a president winning with only 30% of the votecount. What would that do for our president's mandate?

Oh and seeker, no, you haven't won yet.

I see. Very wise. Well I will count on you as the election committee to execute a plan that is fair to both the voters and the candidates. Thank you. Good night. And God bless.

Oh yea, I knew I was missing at least one person.


Add paraflyer to the list you see a few posts up. I might be missing one other person, but I'll scour this thread once the deadline passes.

[Seeker]

Oh and seeker, no, you haven't won yet.
:sad:

Well...if I win I promise to start a public service announcement advising all women size 12 and under to wear a thong at all times...unless going commando!

My motto is short skirts and low cut shirts!!!


And if I can't win your vote with the sexuality...then...just remember my vote will go to whom ever is the nicest to me :)

:thumbs: :drink:


But really I just want to be the Prez because I am sick of always being "the working-(wo)man"...I want to be in charge some place!!!!

So what happened to the election poll? We have all of our nominees don’t we????
