A question for all those not currently supporting Bedard

[DraftBoy]

Please do explain, because this isn't an answer, it's you chasing your own tail yet again. Tell me HOW you think we've made this a popularity contest???

Read your post, read RS post, read Freeman's post. Notice the antagonist persona brought on.

Here Ill provide you with examples;

It seems as though that some are jealous that he comes in as a popular person, so they are trying to use that against him somehow.

Why say that line? You gain nothing from it but just reinforce the notion you are attempting to dispel. You don't on one like say this isnt a popularity contest on the next say but our guy is very popular. Do you not see the double speak there?

It's a popularity contest at this point.

Bedard is the popular choice which is why Playa is winning. Same reason people root against Duke for no reason. They are sick of seeing the popular (in this case, good) team win.

Again why the stab at the end it just comes off as totally pompous and arrogant. That's a very eltist statement even though I know RS is not like that and I dont think his intent was that either. However I also read RS's posts every day and since he's a fellow mod I think I have a decent handle for his sincerity but that doesnt mean the majority of posters have any idea.

Lastly...

You speak quite often in first person... almost as if you're running for Pres yourself. Comical considering you weren't even involved until it more or less became a popularity contest slash cryfest 2k8.

The VP himself saying its a popularity contest when the threads point is to dispel the idea that it is such?

I mean these are basic mannerism or speech patterns that I can point out in multiple threads, which is why I told Devin, NBF, and L.A. Playa that we didnt need to take the angle of this being a popularity contest it would be done for us.

Here is what I've gathered from the Playa campaign.

1. Hold on, let me see every other issue by the candidates and spin that around into my own words.

2. Have DraftBoy come on and act like he is the VP of the United States and talk down to everyone.

3. Change up my entire persona to be people friendly so they vote for me.

You guys need to get your stories straight either Im Karl Rove or Dick Cheney I cant be both. When you decide get back to me and let me know.

Bedard is the only non-condescending choice for President.

[Bill Brasky]

I for one am thankful that god himself graded my post as though it was a thesis paper, yet failed to bolden my 'antagonistic' rhetoric.

Please see the new MBB Address thread.

DB if you have crayons it might.........nevermind.

Wait .... does that mean there will be no crayon drawings????

[Valerie]

I'll try to explain this in terms you can understand.

This election isn't real.

You're kidding, right? What do you mean this election isn't real?!?!?!?!? I've spent a lot of time researching each of the candidates and analyzing their platforms. Are you telling me that I've wasted my time?

[Bill Brasky]

Wait .... does that mean there will be no crayon drawings????

Dude, you are so negative... HIV negative.

[RockStar36]

How is it that I've gone 23 years without being called an elitist and now I've been called one twice in one day.

[Earthquake Enyart]

I'll try to explain this in terms you can understand.

This election isn't real. The person elected president has ideas to make the Zone better, which will have to go through staff approval first.

So go ahead and vote for Playa because you hate me. I'm still staff on BillsZone no matter who wins.

Voting for Playa over Bedard because you don't like me is the most idiotic thing I've heard of considering I still help run the site with the other mods/admins.

The reason we need a president is because "staff approval" is a horrible quagmire. These are the people who brought you voter registration.

A true strong hand at the wheel is what this place sorely lacks. The riff raff staff is out of control. Addition by subtraction.

Voter registration lasted all but two days because not all the staff agreed on it.

One thing you need to realize is that you criticize the staff like it's a piece of cake job but it's actually pretty hard when we have to deal with people like you. Instead of making the site better and improving it in certain areas we're busy babysitting, splitting threads, moving threads to spam, etc....

Explain!

A true strong hand at the wheel

Unless of course the hand at the wheel becomes tired of driving the vehicle and parks it in a garage for a few months.

[BlackMetalNinja]

At any rate, it seems as though you feel that the staff is the source of this issue, not the candidate himself, so keep that in mind when voting. We are merely those that wish to help Mike with his campaign, not those running for the position ourself. Bedard truly wishes to be a voice for all the Zoners and to help them convey their ideas, he's told me this many times. So let your personal feelings towards myself or Rockstar not bear on you in that aspect.

[The King]

Will you guys just go read my address already! I address all of this in my address.

[RockStar36]

Crap...maybe we are the same person.

[Dude]

Unless of course the hand at the wheel becomes tired of driving the vehicle and parks it in a garage for a few months.

Or maybe it's tired from something else.

[Dr. Lecter]

If I were the hand at the wheel, I would run all of you whiny *****es over with an 18-wheeler.
