Hi Ho, Fellow Texans! My, how time flies when you’re feeding at the public trough! It’s time once again to humbly ask for your support – and if that doesn’t work, bribe you silly! As an incumbent member of the Representative Council (four terms now, still no indictments), I pledge to continue providing the good citizens of Texas with the kind of bureaucracy that you’ve come to expect and cherish. As your duly elected, humble servant to the people, I will: Greet and welcome new nations! Play an active role in the life of this Great Region! Support Big Tex! Enjoy all of the perks of political life! Draw an enormous salary! But you reasonably ask, “What’s in it for me?” Well, how about some serious cash? I’ve grown rich as a public servant, and (at least while I need your vote) I want to share the wealth!!! I believe that you have to think big here in Texas, friends, so any Texas nation endorsing and promising to vote for me on this thread will be promptly wired $100,000,000.00 – yep, that’s $100 Million Texas Dollars! – just as my way of saying, “Ain’t politics great?” Remember – Vote Early and Vote Often – FOR DARTH KERMIT!!! :darth2 Thank you, and God Bless Texas!!!

Darth Kermit has long been known for his fiscal responsibility. *Picture of DK shoveling money out the back of a pickup to supporters fades in on screen* As a veteran Texan, and former Cabinet member, I officially give Darth Kermit my official endorsement for TRC. *Images of DK in his office surrounded by framed pictures of money* He was a leading proponent of the campaign finance reform bill, and has always put his money where his mouth is. Vote for Darth Kermit! "I'm Evictorius and I approved this message" *PAID FOR BY FISCAL FRIENDS OF DARTH KERMIT* (I expect a very large sum for the above ad DK :rolleyes: ) |

Evictorius, I appreciate that fine campaign commercial. All it needs now is Pink Floyd's "Money" playing softly over those excellent background shots! $100,000,000.00 in Texas Dollars has been sent to your account. As Bartles and Jaymes used to say, "Thank you for your support!" We've got the old political machine oiled up and runnin' now! I've hardly made a dent in my bank account, so... Who's next? |

Hi Crazy Hell for War! Unacceptable? Where I'm from (Far East Texas, aka Louisiana) paying for votes is: 1. Expected 2. Encouraged 3. Fashionable 4. The only way to get elected! Let me make you an offer: Endorse me here, and I'll send you $100,000,000.00 in Texas Dollars. Then you too will be able to buy votes, run expensive ad campaigns, or just enjoy some good ol' Christmas shopping here on the Texas off-site! There's some good stuff in the store! Either way, I appreciate your passion and integrity, and I therefore plan to vote for you! The offer is also still available to the rest of you - Who want$ some ca$h? Vote Early and Vote Often - FOR ME! - Darth Kermit |

Very well, bribes it will be. But instead of money Darth, what about you vote for me I'll vote for you? And for everybody else goes the same! If you aren't running for something though, I will glady contribute a nice (tax-deductable) good-will donation to your nation, should you vote for me! |

Up here in West "by Gawd" Virginia, the rumor has always been that the only reason JFK won the primary and general election in 1960 was due to a little judicious vote buying by his father. Rumor also has it that in some southern counties in the state the practice is still very much followed election time. $20.00 or a Fifth of wiskey is the rumored going rate these days.

Hi F799! I was already going to vote for you, so... You've got a deal! (Getting what I want without paying for it - This is no way to run a political campaign!) And I add the following endorsement: F799 is one of the finest Defenders I know - Vote F799 for TRC!! Murray, Since Hurricain Katrina, everything is more expensive here in Louisiana! :rolleyes: Maybe I should start a new nation in West "by Gawd" Virginia and run for office there too! Sounds like votes there are a real bargain!

But Big Tex - Dead people vote all the time where I live! Oh well. It's still a great endorsement, and it only cost me $100,000,000.00 Texas Dollars! Still plenty more where that came from - Any taker$? |

Hello Candidates! I'm a honest politician - I believe in doing what is best for my nation! Why should I vote for you??? *Honest politician (Texas defination) - One who accepts bribes in return for favors or votes. A politician who is loyal to those individuals have given bribes etc. |
