    How DARE you accuse me of such treachery! I wouldn't even know how to change a quotation. Does vBulletin even allow for such skullduggery? I sincerely doubt it, but my opponent is always looking for a means to cheat the system. Geoff stands for punching fish, but I have always felt that fish deserve equal rights to all Americans. Vote Mario for State Comptroller. It's a vote for change, not a vote for fish-punching skullduggery.

    My name is Mario, and I approve this message.

    LOOK! he had it all along! see how he deceives us all? My opponent wouldn't have the courage to punch a fish! Even if it was a zombie! Do you want the Zombie Fish to win? If so, take his side by all means. But that's not the orangebelt that I love. And did you notice that mario is of Italian descent? Do you want Italian Zombie Fish Babies going to school with your children, telling them to eat all those pasta carbs and die? No sir, I like my children on an appropriate diet and alive thank you very much.

    This just in! My opponent has edited the messages of others to further his own devious schemes! Do you want a candidate that punches fish and changes the past without time travel? I would only change the past by traveling back in time first, like any decent American. Do you want your state comptrolled by a fish-punching history rewriter? Is that who you want your babies to be kissed by?

    I apologize sir, but there is clear law that dictates that dead people don't get to vote. They don't pay taxes, all they do is consume our valuable brain resources. They are a burden on the system, and you sir, are letting them. But my opinion doesn't matter, what matters is the opinion of decent, hard posting orange-beltians. Do you want your threads being taken away from you by zombi- er... excuse me... the living challenged?

    EDIT: That image has clearly been altered!

    My opponent has made baseless attacks on my stance on the rights of the living-challenged in the past. I would contend that the men who penned the Declaration of Independence, among them Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, great men who fought hard to ensure the freedoms of all Americans, are themselves deceased. If my opponent's proposed laws come to pass, then these great men would be denied their basic rights as Americans, simply because their veins no longer course with blood. I will continue to fight for the rights of all individuals regardless of expiration!

    Candidate Geoff also makes vague claims of zombiism among the fish population he so mercilessly punches. To this I must reply, sir: where are the requisite zombie test results? Without knowing the true nature of the fish's actions, we cannot in good conscience resort to fish-punching! You would have us go into war against fish that may yet have their own minds about them, that may not yet crave to bite into men's brains, that may yet be redeemed from this horrific fate! I simply cannot allow such reckless behavior, and I would hope the voters of this forum feel similarly.

    So I ask you, fellow Americans: would you elect a man with a known track record of punching fish who might not even be zombies, a man who hates dead Americans, a man who changes the record to suit his mood? Or would you rather elect a time-traveling candidate that grants equal rights to all men and fish?

    Ladies and gentlemen, I am that candidate.

    You're American by extension of being a member of a forum community hosted on an American server.

    Mr. Panighetti is doing two things that I find outrageous. He is attacking me personally with some made up story about time travel, making it about personal lives instead of the issues. Also, he is obviously implying that he intends to raise Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin from the graves and have them join the ranks of the living-challenged! Is that American? No, sir, I don't believe so. I want to honor their memory and allow them to rest in eternal peace, not force them to walk among the ranks of those dirty, decomposing, filthy brain-biters. No, I say we keep Orange Belt a place where the living (not limited to just Americans, our brothers across borders are welcome in my plan, so long as they're living) can go on doing so in peace, not worried about whether or not the people or fish on the other end are going to bite their children at school! This country was founded based on the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not death, oppression, and a lack of emotion!! It was created by the living, for the living! I say we tell these grave-huggers where to go! And for once, folks, I've gotta say not with our fists (yet), but one of the oldest rights reserved for the living in this great forum of ours, the vote. Let's remind these no-pulsers who runs this place!

    My opponent has made clear his opinion on the living-impaired: he feels that they are somehow less than other citizens. He feels that the lack of the pulse indicates an inferiority. This is simply despicable. A man should be able to pursue life no matter what his disposition, but most of all when life is what he specifically lacks! What is this pursuit if not all men are entitled to pursue? Mr. Kottmeier would purport that, while all men are created equal, an inequality like early termination of life should make some men less equal than others, that their rights should be separate from those of the living. Another man felt this way once. His name was Jim Crow.

    Mario: the important thing is that my opponent's horrific stance on unequal treatment for the deceased be brought to light
    Dr Faustus Lives: well, a lot of people say they're for dead civil rights, but when they get to the voting booth they still tend to vote for the pro-living candidate

    Okay, Geoff, so you're asking me to settle this for you?

    By which you mean take your side over Mario's?

    I'm not getting in the middle of this dirty campaigning.

    Name calling? My opponent has resorted to name calling? and yes sir, i punch fish. zombie fish. I punch them to protect my country, my people, and my loved ones. and children. This man wants your children to become zombies! what's next, classes will have to be taught in living people's languages and zombie-groans? Why should live children have to learn to speak like the dead people who want to eat their brains?
