VOTE SCRABMAN / MOISHE!
I've been trying to get this article out announcing my selection for the next Vice President of the United States (assuming y'all decide to keep me in office). I would like to formally announce Moishe as my Vice Presidential candidate.
I've been talking about him for a while in the eUSA Forums but I didn't want to have an article announcing him get lost in the preparations leading up to the War Games. I'm happy to announce that the War Games are going very well and that Moishe has been looking into some ways to make them more fun by having some friendly competition among the military units and others. We finished this first round of War Games with a wall of more than 182,000! I will let Moishe elaborate in his newspaper as he is my current Secretary of Defense.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/american-free-press-173541/1
In any event, I need to make a quick announcement first. Many of you in the Forums already know this but I changed my staff around a little this week. I moved my real life friend Hokiehigh from the position of Chief of Staff to the trusted position of Secretary of the Treasury where he has been working to manage the funds remaining in Ft. Knox (including making good on my promise to return a large chunk of that money to the control of Congress). My new Chief of Staff is USWP friend and former Speaker of the House, ProggyPop. I believe that this change will make things work even better heading into my second term where I will then take applications to see if we want to update the cabinet.
As for that second term. Many have wondered what a conservative RL ex-military guy like Moishe would have in common with a liberal RL civil rights lawyer (also a former Prosecutor) like me. Well, when I started playing eRep I hadn't planned on being a politician ... rather I started as military. Moishe was General of the Armies early on in my military career and I greatly admired his abilities to lead and some of the many reorganizations he did of the US Military. He made the military command structure work and made the troops understand what their roles were ... he gave us purpose and made it fun. After leaving that post, Moishe would later accept my offer to have him head up the Wellness Committee when I was the Party President of the USWP. Moishe served very well until he left us for the CVP and it was a great loss as he had accomplished much during his short time on the USWP Executive Board.
Thus, I would like to have Moishe as my Vice President for many reasons. Perhaps one of the greatest would be to revitalize the Army that has languished under the command of Joeph Cole. I'm sure that whatever Moishe can come up with will help us all. I'm not talking about having Moishe take over the military, simply to work with them to find ways to bridge the communications gaps and other current problems. I would like to see Moishe appoint a competent Secretary of Defense and work with him or her to find ways to get the men and women of the Army feeling that they are doing more than just waiting to qualify for the Marines. It seem like too much emphasis has been put on Tanks and Marines in the last several administrations and I would like to see Moishe bring back the Army as a distinct entity. I'm sure he can do it. That is why I created the new position of Secretary of Defense for Moishe and did not reappoint a Joint Chief of Staff.
Moishe is not all military though. He also served as Alabama's Congressman for 2 months and served in the seat with distinction. I believe that his fiscal conservatism will come in handy for helping us to establish the Federal budget with the assistance of Ananias and the Congressional Budget Committee too. We need to find a way to get realistic about the taxation and spending habits that, up until now, have been haphazard and not very well thought out. We need a plan and Moishe is the man when it comes to making plans. Moishe is well liked in the military, Moishe is well liked in Congress, and Moishe is well liked in his newspaper. Moishe will be a positive force for the nation and that is why he will be my Vice President.
Please vote Scrabman / Moishe for President and Vice-President on April 5th!
Remember, no other candidate has told you they would continue the War Games in Baja ... we brought you War Games and we will continue to bring War Games ... 35 free fights per week and more than 150 free fights over the course of a month! Most people should easily earn one or two battle ranks during this time. Remember, the next fight is tonight at 17:00 server time.

April fools?
Nope. No fooling.
You'd be a fool if you did not vote.
You'd be an April fool if you did not vote..
..SCRABMAN / MOISHE!!!
Great article Scrab! I'll be voting for you of course.
Jordan Miller you voted for Uncle Sam too 😛
"We need to find a way to get realistic about the taxation and spending habits that, up until now, have been haphazard and not very well thought out."
First guaranteed wargames, now your make common-sense statements like this. Well darnit, Scrabotronic... you're really going to make this a tough decision. I wasn't planning on voting your way, but I have such tremendous respect for Moishe, that I'm now interested.
Thank you Bastion. I think that I've been the most fiscally conservative President since I've been playing eRep. No other President has made a mandate to put spending back in the control of Congress and no other President has demanded a Federal budget. So please consider us for your vote.
Mr. President, just a quick question. I am all for the war games, and appreciate the opportunity to do something other than work and train. The point of these war games are to increase our nation's military strength (everyone's rank), right? But by doing this with Mexico (who has strong ties to PEACE), aren't we also helping the enemy grow stronger?
No. Mexico can't fight in these battles unless they move to Baja. We control Baja. Also, PEACE can't fight unless they move to the USA so they aren't getting free fights. Of course, if you haven't noticed, PEACE gets free fights every day anyway as there are almost always battles happening halfway around the world.
The point of these War Games is to get our citizens trained. A noob citizen who fights all 35 of the free fights that are being offered this week (assuming they use the Hospitals correctly) will rank up from Private to Corporal and will increase their overall battle damage. The National Guard has raised money for Q1 weapon purchases which will help National Guard troops to even more dramatically increase their battle ranks.
If we are ever going to compete with PEACE and stand on our own we NEED these War Games. All of these tough talking guys who want to do a "third alliance" assume that we have the strength to go out on our own and leave ATLANTIS behind. I tell you this is hogwash. We don't even begin to compare to the military might of many of the PEACE countries because too many of our citizens aren't trained enough. I hope to dramatically change that. Then we can seriously look at our alliance options but for now we need ATLANTIS and need to work to make it better.
VOTE SCRABMAN / MOISHE!
SCRABMAN/MOISHE !!!
Thx for the credits given. If anyone needs a banner or campaign sign, then just PM me and we'll work something out.
Thank you for explaining josh hoss's question. The only way you can fight in this war is if you are currently in a US state. You're the man srabman, thanks for the war games.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!
JJ, do you see anyone debating you within the comments of your article?
Get some class and keep this in your own articles or within an organized debate. Otherwise, you just look like school on Sunday; no class.
Sorry Proggy. I feel you are wrong. His mod goons haven't come after you for words you have said. With his team of mods, this is the ONLY forum in which people can feel safe breaking down his words and saying what they like. If you feel it is classless, so be it. He is running for president, as am I. Every citizen of this country deserves every candidate to be vetted properly. Seeing as he was not elected, I believe that is even more important at this juncture. We let a relative unknown into the White House because of an ill-timed (and illegal, I may add) impeachment. IMO, he has not earned anything yet, neither have I. And this is the proving ground.
Seriously, your comment brings up a point of scrabs literal fear of being judged or questioned. Sorry, but inside the confines of this game, he cannot decide to NOT answer questions because of someone's "implied" attitude. Proggy, my post was warranted and valid. I am sorry you disagree.
P.S...Bad form. If you guys actually took me seriously and read my articles, you'll see that there IS debate and questioning in the comments of my articles, followed by answers from me. Thank you for confirming that Scrabman assumes this election is his. Much appreciated. Like throwing gas on JJ's fire.
You know what John Jay. I don't troll your articles. I guess you're just desperate.
I think this may just make it in to my next Scandal article.
but at what cost did we get these war game, at what cost !!! 😉
OMG...OK, scrab. You win. Don't answer a single critical question in this election. Good form.
P.S. If you want a cabinet position in a Jay cabinet, you're going to have to be a little nicer than this.
lulz...Vote JJ, avoid being disrespected.
For all who didn't notice by now: Scrabman considers everyone who disagrees with him to be a "troll". 😉
Word up, JJ!
How is this trolling?
Debate is healthy, I don't see trolling.
I don't know lucius, JJ does the exact same thing to me.
JJ's comments are laced with personal attacks. They were obviously intended to create an argument, not a debate. If you don't think he is trolling, then I have to question your objectivity.
I'm still not sure which candidate will get my vote, but after reading those comments, JJ is out of the running.
How exactly do you find the server time?
No thanks
Server time is the default time of eRep displayed at the top of the screen. It is Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Thank you for the comments. Sam and I disagreed on policies and methods but our bickering was never personal or vitriolic. I have decided that I will no longer respond to John Jay or his band of flying monkeys and associated haters. I have far better things to do.
What's not to like? Excellent domestic leadership and vision, plus a VP with significant military experience and advanced understanding of the war dynamics.
Youve got my vote.
PERSONAL????
I rated your performance. lulz. Wow...like i said Scrab, don't answer the questions people want to hear the answers to. It's all good.
/me measures drapes for White House
lulz
Thanks for the war games, scrabman. Finally something for the little guy to do!
great article, ill vote for you scrabman for sure, and thanks for the help 🙂
I actually would like to see you answer some questions scrab. Here and on the forums it seems you just refuse to answer when someone criticizes you. Its automatically called "trolling"
It also concerns how you seem to take credit for the war games compromise with Mexico when all you did was sign the treaty.
Lastly it also concerns me that you seem to want to basically strip the office of the President of its power. From what Ive seen your aides have basically been filling in for you. From the looks of it the USWP is in effect running what little slice of the Executive Branch this country has left now.
Server time is PST, that's MY TIME! That's easy.
vote for JJ 😃
Don't know about that, Sam. But that's not the point anyway.
"band of flying monkeys and associated haters" - so that's what you call the Marines now, scrabman? :/
Tbh: The only one I see continuously attacking people on a personal level to avoid objective discussion of given matters is you, scrabman.
And please don't label me as a troll just because I am voicing my honest opinion.
i dont mind being called a band of flying monkeys.
come to think of it, i think we can make shit loads of money doing that act.
flying monkeys who play instruments???
i mean commmmmeeee on.
we would make loads of money 🙂
Lt.General of the flying monkeys
1) War games three times a week, for the next month. Noob wellness and experience is way, way up.
2) As noob wellness rises, engagement/retention of new citizens rises. Also, the productivity of every US company rises.
3) A chance for some kind of co-existence with Mexico after the disaster that was Operation Taco Bell.
What's gone wrong in the last couple weeks that would warrant a change in leadership?
And the addition of Moishe, an economic conservative with military experience, is a bold move. It balances the ticket.
As regards the state of the US military, and how every noob is getting a chance to rank up; and as a RL veteran of the world's finest Navy, I have only one thing to say.
Hoo-RAH!!
So wait, DaSmoe is saying that Scrabman shouldn't take credit for the treaty, but JJ is saying that we should blame Scrab for what he considers an over-priced treaty? Uhhh, sounds like your campaign's signals are crossed.
Scrab signed it. He could have easily went back to the table and negotiated correctly, he chose not to. He knew going in it was a bad deal, but signed it anyway. Sam negotiated, Scrab signed. TBH, I think it is sound political advice to Scrab from Joe to not take credit. IMO, it has already had an effect.
Yes, because we can see the huge uproar against war games.
...
Yeah, Americans _hate_ the war games.
They are getting instant wellness, experience, and ranking up. Every noob who's trying to figure out what's going on, whether to continue in the game, _hates_ that opportunity.
Employers hate the wargames, too, because their experience level 5 employee who had 42 wellness yesterday?... is now producing twice as much.
Critics have every right to express their opinions. We're Americans, please continue to do so.
But I think if you're arguing that the US is worse off than it was 2 weeks ago, you have a very difficult case to make.
Nobody says war games are bad - it's all about the cost/performance ratio.
Radical dart throwing speeches in an opponent's news article has been done before. It comes across with plenty of aroma, all bad.
Nice article, Scrab Shady. It appears to have the opposition worried to a level of great desperation.
Wow Alee, I didn't think you really had an account. now GTFO Troll 😉 lol
War Games FTW!!!
As a noob i am wondering what the cost is that we "paid" or whatever for the War Games? they seem like a great idea to keep new players interested and to bring up the strength and exp. of the population. This seems like a good idea to bring up the strength of our military which as i have seen from an article I read about highlighting the fact that our population as a whole is very low in strength. Correct me if i am wrong but is that not the point of the games in the first place? To bring up the populations average strength? also with the economic impact why not do these games? i understand that the issue is that the treaty that we signed is bad but why? That is exactly what my question is. If someone would explain this that would be great. hell a link would be nice. thanks hope my first ever post is relevant! lol
I'm new at this game so find it useful to see the debate done in this way. Please keep it up.
if you folks want war games, then come and help Norway - fight for defenders (green): http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/6217
fight for something that worths.
Nope. I would never vote for you. EVER. You're f$@king lame.
Woohoo I'm almost a corporal now, thanks for the war games! Scrab/Moishe!
Scrabman and Moishe have really good polices. Plus there better then anybody else hows running.
