Yep, and I plan to use that as much as possible. TV ads on every station, massive advertising in rural America, all that good stuff. And I since there's no other Reform Party members, I plan to invite any politicians that want to debate to my mansion for a super debate.

Eric Gonzalez will join!

The other thing is, I dont think Americans would be uncomfortable wth that idea, at least not as much as we may think.

Look how most are for surveillance of civilians and expansion of the patriot act. I dont think it would hurt me tremendously in the polls, if at all. It also shows effective leadership, something most Americans desperately want, as shown by Trump and Sander's wild popularity irl.

And why they are "angry" now, and not years ago when it occurred.

It also has been done in Chicago on many occasions in recent years, and without question.

Heck, DC tried to do it in '93.


There was a lot of blowback when they did it, and that was on a very limited scale, for a very brief period of time.

Mine was on a limited scale, for a relatively brief period of time. Also, results are important to look at in this situation.

Have any of you ever even been to Connecticut's cities? They are practically war zones.

i'd affirm sanabel's opinion on public backlash - other then other candidate's supporters no one really gives a damn.

Oh, I do not think it is a scandal, but I think you massively alienated the libertarian wing.

I think it would be more effective in CT, as we have smaller, more concentrated cities. Though I could imagine it would be scary for sure.

Definitely. You can have areas for a few square miles where it is all chaos here.

Oh, Bell is not necessarily going after the Guard bit, but he is going after the implication that the actual military would be used to fight crime domestically.

Democrats are easy targets, though, say something controversial, get yourself out there.
