Scrabman / Bastion for June!
•
by scrabman
A lot has changed in the world since I announced that I will be running for a third term as President of the eUSA this Friday, June 5th, 2009.

ATLANTIS failed and all of its member nations started dividing up into smaller interests, one of which has centered around the war in Germany. Through all of this Vice President Moishe has been a great friend, confidante, and supporter in achieving the goals of a stronger America. However, Moishe tells me that he is pretty busy so he will have to decline running for office one more time so that the job may get done by a new person who will have the time and energy to devote to the Office of the Vice President.
Thus, I am announcing Bastion as my new Vice Presidential candidate for the June 2009 election. I've known Bastion for most of his eRep life as he has been a long time employee of mine over at Scrab Holdings. We haven't always agreed but he has risen to prominence within his party (the CVP) as well as within the military as he is currently the General commanding the eUSA Mobile Infantry and an integral part of our Military infrastructure. Bastion has served with distinction in the military and has also been a member of Congress. Further, Bastion has also been a helper around the eUSA Forums for quite a while as one of our dedicated Moderators. Through all of this I believe he has demonstrated his supreme competence to handle the task of Vice President.
Starting with my selection of Moishe 2 months ago I have asked the Vice President to work to strengthen our Military. I think that Bastion will be able to continue this tradition and that his background will be perfect for that task. I have also asked another member of the Mobile Infantry, Loftedraptor, to join my cabinet next term as my Secretary of Defense or as an undersecretary in the Defense Department. I think that the combination of Bastion and Loftedraptor will do much to improve our position in an ever changing world while we work to figure out what our new alliance situation will be. Both are also significantly older than the average player of eRepublik which has proven to be a successful formula in bringing a level of professionalism to running the government. Expect to hear more from both of these fine Americans as the week goes on. You can read all about Bastion in his paper: The Citadel.

Glad to hear it scrab!
Great pick! Congratulations Bastion! You two definitely have my vote.
congrats to General Bastion!! oh, and you too Scrab
Why was Moishe Dropped?
@sukoidha - "However, Moishe tells me that he is pretty busy so he will have to decline running for office one more time so that the job may get done by a new person who will have the time and energy to devote to the Office of the Vice President."
Both Bastion and Loftedraptor are great players, any cabinet with them in it is sure to be a good one.
Care to explain why your troops cant train in Germany, but you can grab Battle Hero?
I'm not voting for you unless you reach FM by Friday scrab 🙂
Repre-freaking-sent MI FTW
Inspired choice in Bastion! Here's to your 3.5 terms --CHEERS!
Good luck!
Excellent choices.
Great choices! Best of luck in June.
Good choice of running mate, best of luck!
I did have my differences with Moishe at times but he did do a great job as Vice President.
You got my vote as usual Scrabman unless I am asked to vote elsewhere to prevent or attempt to prevent a PTO elsewhere.
I encourage all of you to educate yourselves on Scrabman's polices and past accomplishments. I encourage you to ignore the fact he runs under USWP. I also encourage you to learn about the other candidates and decide if not voting for Scrabman who has successfully ran this country for 2 months is really a great idea. We are in a time of need and EVEN if you feel Scrabman has screwed up it is all the more reason to reelect him cause only he can undo his so called "screw ups".
And with this pick, scrabman gets the vote of every MI soldier for fear of being discharged 😉
In all seriousness, two very good picks. They would do a phenomenal job as VP and SecDef.
FTW!
I need to clarify that Loft will be the Sec Def when tdwester is finished with the post. I wasn't sure if he wanted to stay on next term and it would seem that he is. Either way, Loftedraptor has been an ardent supporter and one who has worked to improve our military and he will still be involved in assisting tdwester in whatever capacity that he needs as an undersecretary or maybe he'll even take Bastion's place as General of the MI. These are all things that we will work out after Friday.
Lol @ Joseph Schmo. Might just have to vote for Scrab. Yay Loft and Bastion!
Congrats General Bastion, and QMG Loftedraptor, sirs! Couldn't pick two better men to help run the country.
Oh, and Mr. President, thank you for realizing the Mobile Infantry has all the talent.
hm, this will be an interesting election...
obligatory comment
You've got my vote!
Great choice. Bastion knows what he's doing and so does Loftedpraptor. You made some great picks right there.
Thank you for your confidence, Mr. President. We've not always seen eye-to-eye, but I've always been impressed with your ability to both lead under pressure and maintain a mature approach to governing.
Best of luck on Friday!
Vote Scrabman/Bastion!
Best of luck in June!.-vote
Excellent choices Scrab.
Vote scrabman/bastion!
well, neither one likes me so whatever.
Yes, cussing out most people who disagree with you is very mature.
Loyal to scrabman!

thanx to scrub and his lickspittle congress newbs can now only fight in wars if they have the money to move. if u want one person to control your elife to this extent, you are welcome to him. im done.
Man, what the hell is wrong with you people? You don't re-elect someone in order to fix previous mistakes! You find someone who has the solutions to the problems at hand right NOW. Boo.
So I see your running for a third term with out even mentioning the fact your broke your own military edict. How nice of you Scrabman. Fighting in eGermany against the eSweeds at the expense of more than likely the tax payer for your weapons and wellness and you just fob it off.
Scrabman cant follow his own military orders yet hes the commander in chief and a member of the home guard. He needs to recieve his own punishment and be drummed out on a dishonorable discharge.
Stop electing this eLiar and eTraitor.
Holy shit capitalized letters.
Also, 🙁 Bastion. You may as well have picked Alee
The ticket will get the vote of every MI solider, but only because we know our General Bastion will do such an amazing job for the country! From everything I've seen, scrabman and Bastion combined will be far more than the sum of their parts, and their parts are pretty darn impressive.
I agree with Dania. I used to dislike Scrabman myself, voted against him the last two times in a row, but instead of just bitching, whining and complaining about issues, I send him a PM and RESPECTFULLY ask him. As the President of the United States of America, I granted him that respect and because of that, we were able to talk it out.
I now see his POV and I understand mine. Yes he's made mistakes, No, he's not perfect, BUT he's qualified, experienced and under him, I've seen some great things happen in the eUS Military. I am a member of the CVP, and probably always will, but I will vote here on abilities and experience. Scrabman has my vote.
You can ask him something, just don't be an interrogating, insulting, accusing ass about it. It seems like most of the people getting stonewalled by him are the ones doing JUST that. Bastion as his VP pick is a great decision and will continue his show of good judgment. Bastion represents commitment, experience and he follows his principles. This further connection with the eUS Military will help grow eMerica's strength and recognition on the global stage.
The inclusion of Loftedraptor into his decision making process will prove INVALUABLE. Bastion and Loftedraptor build the Mobile Infantry into what it is now, in no small part due to their knowledge and abilities.
I see people criticizing Scrabman all the time, but they don't actually go after the facts. It's a smear campaign, pure and simple. If you don't like him, give reasons, and don't bitch about how he doesn't do just what you want. He's a free and independent thinker, leader and provides good judgement. He has earned my respect, my vote and most of all, my TRUST.
Darn right! Rock on scrabman, freaky bro!
Got my vote
