At my press conference there was 5 of us, so to answer your question, I got more votes than media. However, I can't help but also accept that the 2 are tied together. Had my hometown newspaper actually showed up to cover the event...maybe some more people in my town would have voted for me... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Maybe you have it backwards.... perhaps if you were not such a flipping loonytunes retard people might care about what you had to say? Just something to think about. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Are you really so dense that you have to ask what that kind of support means? >All that I ask is an opportunity to be tested upon >equal grounds, with you or any other. Given a square >match, I can prove myself your equal. You have already had as much chance as anyone else. Probably moreso since you are unburdened from the crippling obligations of a job. Yet you still fail and refuse to see that you fail because you, simply put, are a failure. It's not the media. It's not Weinzapfel. It's not the electorate. It's you. It's ALWAYS BEEN YOU.

THAT, SIR, is the root of your problem, like it or not. Even a retard could connect the dots, but you still can't see the picture. >'I' am what am, and this is all that I am, and I have >no plans to change. That said, if you have a problem >with what it is that I stand for and or support, then >speak up and be specific. Then you will continue to fail. That is what failures do... they fail. And you, sir, are a failure by every meaningful measurement. You beg for help and then squander it stupidly. You beg for advice and ignore it outright. You beg for meaning and find none. >If not, shut your hole, because I have no time to >address personal attacks and baseless accusations. You have nothing but time. Nothing at all, but time. Also, a 30% slide from 17 votes to 11 is hardly "baseless" grounds for calling you a chronic fuckup. I will not shut my hole - you give orders to no one. That is the lot of a failure. Get used to it.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Mayoral Meanderings Author: Knabe saying it like it was... [Edit] Date Posted: 08:55:01 07/26/05 Tue I received some 18 votes out of 400 something in the last election, according me so 3% of the vote. In this election, I received 11 votes out of 139, specifically alotting about 12%. I did indeed receive fewer votes this time than I did last time without my name even on the ballot, but that was a Presidental election cycle, and this was merely a local election. They were indeed 2 different elections. Beyond this, I did indeed fail to receive any meaningful support, and thus I'll have to do something different if I am to expect different results. However, I can not change what or who it is that I am. I can only understand the needs of my citizenery, and then offer options to them in a public forum that will ease their woes... I erely desire to have my ideas and options placed upon the table of consideration by all of our leders, and then let common sense and understanding prevail. You can take your attacks on my person, and shove them back in your ass. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Yes, I know the numbers. >I did indeed receive fewer votes this time than I did >last time without my name even on the ballot, but that >was a Presidental election cycle, and this was merely >a local election. They were indeed 2 different >elections. No, in that you were barely a flyspeck on the ballot, they were PRECISELY THE SAME. But of course you feel better with your excuses. Whatever. >Beyond this, I did indeed fail to receive any >meaningful support, and thus I'll have to do something >different if I am to expect different results. >However, I can not change what or who it is that I am. > I can only understand the needs of my citizenery, and >then offer options to them in a public forum that will >ease their woes... You don't have a citizenry. You are an idiot, and people see this. Call that a personal attack if you like, but that's why you're a laughingstock. Let me repeat: the problem is not that you are pereceived as an idiot - the probelm is you ARE an idiot. That's why you barely get the joke vote. >I erely desire to have my ideas and options placed >upon the table of consideration by all of our leders, >and then let common sense and understanding prevail. Hmm, you got 11 votes... I think common sense and understanding are prevailing just fine. You just don't like reality. >You can take your attacks on my person, and shove them >back in your ass. Now, that's not a very royal thing to say. Whatever happened to fostering discussion? Is it completely impossible that you ARE indeed an idiot? A raving, loopy, ego-obsessed loser with no idea of how the world works? The numbers seem to be stacking up in a way that suggests you ARE, IN FACT, AN IDIOT. At this point I'd say the burden is on you to prove otherwise. Your neighbors, those who know you best, think you're an idiot. People on your own web page here think you're an idiot. I'll bet your dog thinks you're an idiot, and obviously the voters think you're an idiot. Prove any of them wrong, I dare you. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
