[Prolieum]

Esselman-you can interview Eberhardt if you like.

[Neo-Chicago]

Well, I'm taking a shower, so if Eberhardt's interview ends, I'll do mine after I get out.

Also, Kiser, "OMG, we both came here carrying the same gun! Awkwaaaard!"

[Chewion]

Guys I feel special I participated!!!! Also we should continue with the little girl that was hit.

Why did Kiser bring a gun into a gun-free zone?

Present tense? Is your computer waterproof?

[Pantorrum]

Has the Ohio Primary occurred for the Presidential race in this RP yet? If not, I would like for my Governor (should he be accepted) to endorse someone.

Me! First applicant!

Eberhardt is huge on the budget-it is his primary priority, so definite synergy there.

Lol, I will have to look closer at your presidential hopeful. Robert Friedrich Eberhardt, right?

Its either Eberhardt or Cross right now. Convince me, and you got it.

[Chewion]

Why not Kiser?

[Pantorrum]

Why not Kiser?

Sorry, let me check him out. I'm not familiar with all the candidates yet, so I'll read about him some.

Right to bear arms.

Its either Eberhardt or Cross right now. Convince me, and you got it.

Well, Cross and I are going to be rather similar. Eberhardt is less interventionist than Cross, and wants to reform the military-he is a Captain in the Army National Guard, and is trying to cut pork projects, and Congressional favorites, for example, the F-35-and reorient towards the military's actual needs. Overseas, the focus is on precision, and force where needed, rather than the more broad-scale, "softer" response. At home you clearly have the budget priority, and he is also rather libertarian-working towards criminal justice reform, and the lessening of penalties for nonviolent possession of controlled substances, including Marijuana, which he supports the legalization of. Both he and Cross are very big on honesty in politics-who is more so, your guess. In education, Eberhardt is pushing for voucher programs, allowing greater parental choice, and for competition to improve the schools. Cross and Eberhardt are both nearly identical for abortion, though Eberhardt wants to take down Planned Parenthood entirely, shift the funds to more effective women's health organizations that do not provide abortions, while Cross wants to keep it intact. Infrastructure is a fairly major concern of Eberhardt's, the idea of long-term investment to aid the economy in the long run, rather than kicking the can down the road. Both Cross and Eberhardt are quite similar on free trade, and I believe they are similar on the Second Amendment, though I will have to check. Personally, both are Christians and teetotalers, though Eberhardt is more open about his faith.

What issues is the governor biggest on?

Lol, I will have to look closer at your presidential hopeful. Robert Friedrich Eberhardt, right?

Its either Eberhardt or Cross right now. Convince me, and you got it.

Besides the issues that Eberhardt explained we're similar on, Cross is strongly against fossil fuels, and he wants to end subsidies to them, moving the money over to nuclear power, which is gonna create thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of new jobs for hardworking Americans. On abortion, Cross wants to leave it up to the states (and is a strong proponent of states' rights in other scenarios as well), but the most important thing for him in that respect is defunding Planned Parenthood, so the federal government doesn't condone abortion, and moving that money over to other, similar women's healthcare facilities that don't provide abortions. Cross is a proponent of a flat tax, with tax credits for children instead of any sort of reduction in taxes for marriage, and though he'll start that flat tax at about 10% or so, he's more than willing to increase or decrease it according to the nation's needs. With surplus cash, Cross prefers to send it where it does the most- the tax-payers wallets. Cross isn't a warhawk, but at the same time, he recognizes when war is necessary, and will gladly supply U.S. troops when other methods prove ineffective. With ISIS, he wants to work with NATO, the Kurdish, and the Free Syrian Army, as well as our Middle Eastern allies, against them, and is willing to not interfere with Assad for the time being, if only because it's too costly and too tactically inefficient to be fighting a war on two fronts in Syria. Cross cares more about the workers than anything, and is going to reduce corporate taxes, so that our corporations that have gone overseas come back, and so small businesses can actually survive, and perhaps even thrive, in America once again.

What issues is the governor biggest on?

The Governor isn't big on foreign policy, it will definitely be the candidates domestic policy that matters most to him. In his bio, I mentioned his attempts at educational reform to make the system more effective, major infrastructure investment, and tax cuts. He also proposed a plan to stop funding for abortions in Ohio, voted in favor of bill that legalized medical marijuana use, and passed a religious freedom bill to protect Muslims and Jews in the work place from discrimination. Leeman is also a rather honest politician

His main focus is Primarily the budget. In my bio, there is a good portion about his attempts at balancing the state budget and working on building the current surplus'. That is the most important thing to him.
Where does Eberhardt stand on taxes? Leeman is big on cutting taxes for business, as he did with the Farmer's Act and the Industrial Renewal Act mentioned in his bio. Taxes are probably another very important thing for him.

I made the things they agree upon bold.

Leeman would agree with you on your tax policies. Tax cuts for businesses and a flat income tax are things that Leeman likes a lot. As I said earlier, Leeman brought about major tax cuts in Ohio for businesses over the years. He reduced taxes, though he didn't pass a flat Income Tax. That doesn't mean he doesn't like the idea.
The usage of your Surplus isn't something Leeman entirely agree's upon, as some of the Surplus in Ohio was put into Infrastructure.
Fossil fuel's aren't a big topic for Leeman, though he would be attracted to the idea of job creation caused by the switch to Nuclear Power.

I will sleep on it and decide tmrw, they are similar in a lot of ways. Its the small differences that will be the deciding factor.

[Prolieum]

Sorry for the delay Esselman, had to deal with something.

Though you note that it is not important, Eberhardt is also a big fan of nuclear.

On taxes, Eberhardt has a somewhat different policy than Cross's. Huge drops in the corporate tax are the first priority, along with similar taxes, and deregulation is a big part of his proposals, cutting past government forcing things on businesses. For personal taxes, he favors a shift from income/property taxes towards sales taxes, taxing consumption rather than work-necessities such as food would not be subject to the increased sales tax. Eberhardt is probably going to be for a slightly higher tax than Cross, largely due to his budget focus-not democrat-high taxes, but more like 15% than 10%-a deficit because of low taxes is still a deficit. Once that budget is paid off, you get a lot of money back from interest. He is for a simplified tax, but not a completely flat one-moderately progressive. The idea behind it is that taxes on business are far lower, and thus a slightly higher tax on wealthy incomes can be borne.

Concurrent with taxes, Eberhardt is very anti-corporate welfare, campaigning to cut the government subsidizing big businesses at the expense of small ones.

The differences, as I see them.

Abortion: Eberhardt seeks a federal ban on abortion, Cross seeks state-level decisions
Taxes: Eberhardt's are slightly higher, and slightly progressive, to pay off deficits. Business taxes are very low for both, possibly lower for Eberhardt.
Military: Eberhardt has a reform plan for the military, Cross does not.
Foreign Policy: Similar, just general more interventionism from Cross, though Eberhardt is in favor of Linebacker II-style policies.
Infrastructure: Eberhardt supports improvements, no statement from Cross.
Criminal Justice: Eberhardt supports reform in this area, no statement from Cross.
Marijuana: Eberhardt supports legalization, Cross has no statement.
Deregulation: Eberhardt in favor, Cross in favor for some things, not others
Corporate Welfare/Subsidies: Eberhardt against, Cross likes subsidies in some areas
Balanced Budget/Debt: Eberhardt for very anti-debt, Cross no statement, seems moderately anti-debt

Free Trade
Marriage
Second Amendment
Right to Enterprise
Probably a lot more.

Feel free to correct me if I messed up your positions Cross.

With marijuana, I think this also should be left up to the states. I'm not sure what you mean by "criminal justice reform", since you really didn't state anything you specifically wanted to do, just that you wanted to reform it. Generally, Cross is fine with the current state of criminal justice, but for drug addicts, he supports treatment. With a Balanced Budget, I was under the impression that everyone sought a balanced budget, but practically speaking, Cross finds that some debt may be necessary, though he wants to make budget cuts. If the deficit is low enough, he would just raise taxes, provided it isn't too extreme of a hike. Cross thinks that infrastructure needs should be attended to by the states, not the federal government. Regarding the military, Cross wants to build it back up, essentially.

Also, Cross wants to raise the retirement age for Social Security, for those who haven't retired yet, and also wants to over time phase out Social Security in favor of private plans, again, only for those who have not yet retired. Cross believes that Social Security is an awful, awful program, but the fact is, people are so dependent on it that it can only be ended gradually at this point.

[Pantorrum]

Well, I think, based on this information, I can make a decision right now
I love both Cross and Eberhardt, but I think Governor Leeman is a little more like Eberhardt. The subject of the budget is the biggest thing that would pull Leeman toward Eberhardt. Cross is a great candidate, but his willingness to accept a small budget deficit is the largest problem. Also, his stance on abortion isn't a match with Leemans. I do like his Marijuana stance, though.
If accepted, I think Leeman will support Eberhardt. I will post as soon as I am accepted, and I intend to give his backing to Eberbardt. Ohio is an important state to win on the road to the nomination, and considering that Leeman is pretty popular in Ohio, his endorsement will be a big thing to win.

As I noted earlier, Eberhardt wants to lessen sentencing for nonviolent criminals, as well as some others. Also, not noted, but he wants to do away with mandatory minimum sentencing.



OK, about what I expected, Cross is a moderate budget hawk, Eberhardt an strong one.





OK, that was what I assumed.



OK, privatization is identical retirement age is not.

Ditto Eberhardt.

I will make the little adjustments.

Well, thank you very much for the (pending acceptance)(future) endorsement!

I do think it will be interesting if it becomes Cross/Eberhardt as the last two, just given the similarities, it would be interesting to see going down into the details on some things.

That's as a fucking OOC thread tag wtf
Someone tagged during the democratic debate and no one cared.

Well, I was not at the Democratic debate, now was I?

It was kinda on the same thread

[Hillary Clinton 2016-2024]

Why are we talking about Ohio like 20 days before it happens?
