Why didn't you tell us you were running? Did anyone else know? Am I the last to find out?

Well, at least he'll be honest about his ambitions and plans for world domination.

Yeah guys, I was keeping it on the down-low until my bid was secure.  It's actually going to break several precedents in that it will be the first ever presidential campaign run on the platforms of "Stopping Zombies," and "Giving More Land to the Turtles."  Thank you for your support, I'll let you know when I have more information.

Monochromatic Lack of Noise Areas have been polluted and the population needs to be educated on how to preserve them. Also I think we need a reform on lootage and pirates are now over seas due to hackers menaces. No wireless for them either. Finally my people consider you should drink milk more often because its healthy for you. Other candidates seems not to think about these imperative matters. If you can do something about this you can count our votes yours.

I don't know....   I'm not sure he'd make a good President.  Wouldn't his duties as god of all of his own worlds distract him from running our wee little country?

You must have faith in the Overturtle, and all turtles everywhere.

a controversial issue on this site?

Edit- Although, in all fairness, this is probably a more metaphorical use of the term, thus avoiding said controversy.

Well, I took the time to read the FAQ and learn about the errr what was it? "Fiend of the Ninth Cabbage" or something and then a worship for turtles arose. I´d like to know morw about this.

Send Ish a PM. If he remembers the issue (I'm sure he does), and if he feels like sharing, he can fill you in.


Meanwhile, I'd like to make a comment that's a bit more on-topic:

Although I'm not officially running, I already have two votes in the bag. I kind of feel bad about this, not because of the responsibility of winning or anything, but because I only managed to get one of the votes because Mickey Mouse is fictional and Elvis is generally accepted to be dead.

I would vote for Ish as long as he promised to revert Northern California to pristine wilderness devoted to the protection of Turtles. Those baby turtles are just so cute.

They also wear dress clothing so well (great at formal campaign dinners).

I'd vote for the first Overturtle, Lord of the Underseas and Beaches, for President. What do we have to loose? Nothing! Nothing I say! Down with the 2 Parties! UP WITH THE OVERTURTLE!

VIVE LE NATION!! VIVE LA TORTUE DE MAR!!!

I am with sdragon. Also I hope that this sees a massive national increase in cabbage production. There is always room for cabbage.
