My resignation as Vice President

Frankly, all this BS is stressing me out and it makes the game suck. The President has made mistakes, huge mistakes but that's all I'm going to say about it. In fact, I want to thank Uncle Sam for picking me out of no-where and allowing me to get into the inner workings of our Country. If it wasn't for him a lot of you would not even know who the hell I am.
Those people that know me best, know me to be a civil dude. The lack of that is why I've had enough. I've been playing this game for 5 months and the last month and a half have been quite a chore for me. The fun has been zapped out of the game. Politics are no fun for me, I have never even been a Congressman and I don't desire to be one. Vice President is nothing but a ceremonial title in game, and I get nothing out of it except guilt by association, and a freaking headache.
I'll be around, I will be focusing on my tasks for the Marine Corp. At least those crazy fuckers know how to enjoy the GAME. Lol. I also intend to return to writing articles on my terms. Last thing I will say is I still support the President, I sincerely hope America doesn't plan to impeach in the middle of a war.
Take care you all, I pray this country finds its bearings.
Joe DaSmoe,

Proud American
Btw, be sure to read up on this article from my fellow Marine, Suko. Excellent article here.

Thanks for serving us! You did a great job!
I totally understand about that stress thing. Not in eRep, but I know exactly how you feel.
Thanks for serving Joe!
We'll miss you 😕
No!!!??????
Great job, we'll miss you joe. See you in the fights.
Good luck Joe!
I look forward to your articles! I've always been a fan of your work!
Hate to sound like a jerk, but I think it was smart to resign. Uncle Sam hasn't done the best job.
Joe: No, don't do this
one of the greatest Vice President ever!!!!
Im sad to see you go, you were the one sane voice in this administration
Different phrase in Italian:
Il fuoco di Dio volontà piovere sulla nostra terra e causare il caos tra i nostri cittadini.
L'unico modo giusto evitare questo la giustizia Dio, est di la smaltire di crudele uomo inetto e che noi chiamiamo "presidente".
Giù con lo zio Sam, Dio lo vuole!!!!

As long as you still have a newspaper it's all good 🙂
"Last thing I will say is I still support the President, I sincerely hope America doesn't plan to impeach in the middle of a war."
It's in fact the right moment.
So a smart guy can minimize the loss.
sorry your resigning but come to the marines bar for a drink on your way to the barracks.

You were are great VP, Stay around please 😃
Joooeeee! I didn't think I'd see you leave the position. Much too bad, looks like you'll have to spend some more time back on the forums? XD You've been a little absent lately
Thanks Joe! I'll continue to follow you though! Create a military dictatorship and right the wrongs of eUSA!!!!
you had a good run, VPs don't do much though since they don't get to don't have any real power and they don't get to take over the country should the president get impeached.
Way to bail Joe, way to bail...
Joe, I will admit, going in I did not think you had it in you; being new and all. You proved me and countless others wrong and I am glad to have called you my Vice President for the past month and a half. Keep active, and don't be a stranger.
I echo Jewitt's statements. Great job.
Thanks Jewitt, that means a lot to me.
A true American patriot. o7
I'll see you at Joe's for a brewski, LT.
The comments sound like conversation at a funeral. Lighten up, people! I guess Joe DaSmoe was tempted to enter the politics by hopes of more easily obtaining larger funding for the armed forces, but ended up getting tangled in too much political infighting and media wars. From now on, however, he will have more time to do what he's good at - building up the military.
I sincerely wish you success, because when the eUSA learns to stand on its own feet it will gain confidence and will stop associating with abusive allies, who try to drag it into wars from which it stands to gain nothing!
You did a great job as VP, Joe. Oorah!
good luck joe
Thank you for being a good one, Joe. You'll always have my respect.
Thanks for your service, Joe.
Frankly, I think the wrong half of the Presidential ticket resigned...
Thanks for serving.
I think you've done a great job, Joe, even (rea😛 ESPECIALLY) on calling me out a month ago (has it been that long?). You have my best wishes and respect. If/When I return to America, I'll definitely make sure I say hi.
Loser.
All political positions are more or less ceremonial.
You've done a great job Joe. I will miss you as a colleague and I'm sure US will miss you as leader.
Well, just look at the comments, they already are..
;_;
Joe, I'll miss you, you've done an outstanding job as our VP, good luck to wherever your feet may bring you.
Thanks Misho, I look forward to serving beside our Swedish friends, I'll be in touch. 😉
Last comment was a bit too strong...
This was a weak move. You don't just quit in the middle of the term. You made a commitment and then you backed out of it because "it was too much" You said yourself that you weren't doing much. It doesn't take much to wait until the end of the term and then to quietly elect not to run again. This is just creating undo drama over something that was really a nonissue. It just wasn't proper and you lost some of the respect I had for you.
Thanks for serving us. To quote "He serves me most, who serves his country best." God bless you in future affairs.
Joe Dasmoe! You were a great VP! I look forward to seeing you having a more enjoyable time in the future 😃
Frankly CJ, you have no idea the shit I have to deal with because of certain issues, which I will not elaborate on.
That being said, sorry for this. I know a lot of people will be upset, but I have been angry for awhile and its not how I want to play this game.
awww Joe 🙁
That comment again may have come off to strong. I just feel the right move would have been to live out your commitment for the 2-3 weeks you had left. You knew what you were signing up for and quite frankly if you can't put up with dealing with shit, you shouldn't have signed up for this job. You should be able to defend yourself adequately with words.
booo yeah american all the way

Desert Falcon 4 President!!!!!!!!!
Damn Joe...
You've done an amazing job, truly. A lot of people don't give credit to the vice-president, and coming into this election I questioned your ability simply because of lack of education, but you have proven yourself to be a leader, a dedicator, and a hero to this country.
I'll be seeing you in the corps though, so I won't complain all that much 🙂
Never once, in all my criticism of the Sam administration's policies, did I ever find any evidence to suggest that you did anything other than serve with intelligence and distinction, Joe. Are we correct in interpreting that your resignation (citing "huge mistakes") suggests you no longer support the President's policies?
Nevertheless, good work, Joe.
Sorry bro, looks like you had to leave. It's ok, I blame Uncle Sam to. Dun worry, you won't ever, ever, have to fight for another nation again. 😉 Not until you leave ATLANTIS.
This is very distressing. I hated seeing you leave the CVP, but at least then, I knew you'd still be the VP. Now you are leaving us completely. I'm sorry to see you go. I wish you well on your Marine venture. Don't forget to keep in touch.
You were the greatest Vice President,
Mattoze5
Good luck, sir.
i still love you joe!
Well, I certainly understand your reasoning, though I hate to see you go.
But that's part of the point, isn't it? "Hate to see you go". "Go" from where? What is the Vice Presidency? Ah, Joe...
Anyway...we're glad to have you back full-time in the Marines.
Speaking as someone who's new to the game and not 100% into the game. I voted for Sam solely because of your VP article. Everything you said in it made me want to vote for you guys.
Run for president and you have my vote.
