After the mission statement, this is article #4, and it is ALREADY the biggest story in U4Prez. Corporations shudder when Olivia speaks. Creators are knocked down to moderator status. The handpicked president himself can't keep my name out of his mouth on his own talk show, and neither can his snivveling minions. Mountains rise and fall, comets bounce one another in all their splendor, and woodland creatures are frolicking and being fruitful for all to watch in awe.
Lest we ever forget, David slew Goliath with nothing but a slingshot and a rock. If this pee-shooter can undo all the firepower of the Kempite nuclear arsenal, maybe there's something to be said about starting wars you cannot finish. That's good advice for Kempite, Mduminiak, George W. Bush, and any other thug who thinks disagreement is tantamount to assault.
What did we learn this week, candidates? We learned that, if Eric Gurr can be pulled away from his appointed rounds as Kempite's Svengali (or maybe Kempite is Eric's Svengali, hard to say which is which, but Svengali, one of them's got to be), this was never Eric's baby in the first place. Obviously Mduminiak is pathetically wrong when he calls U4Prez a private site. It's not a private site, it's a corporate site, which means Eric is a working stiff, trying to please his CEO and bootlick his way up the corporate ladder, just like anyone else would. Eric created something great, but he doesn't own it at all. Whatever nameless, bloodless corporation he works for yanked him back by the collar. U4Prez can become something big in time, but not when the creator mingles with his favorites and brushes off the common folk.
Eric is a father of three (allegedly), he must know he cannot play favorites with his kids. He cuddled a few and let the rest fend for themselves. You cannot blame the other kids--candidates--for any amount of resentment they feel. Eric is completely responsible for his own actions.
As much as I would like to think a blog like this can unhinge U4Prez, it's complete flattery and nothing else. And if the Hard Right goons--and for a second, let's name a few of them, for the sake of knowing just who we're talking about here:
Kempite: Handpicked President
MDuminiak: Kempite's monkeyboy
BigDaddy: The VRWC's mudslithering crackwhore
RogueJew: He-Man Woman-Hater
Iron Lady: Sold her integrity to play apologist for these thugs
Hawk: Knuckledragging Neanderthal who grunts when liberals talk
--if these yutzes want to blame me for Eric's demise, all it does is prove they love creating a boogeyman. Instead of holding Eric responsible for his own actions, they will scapegoat. Which is fine, if they are that childish. If they want to blame the monster in the closet for why the bed has been pissed in, that's their level, and maybe we should stop taking them so seriously and start talking to them like the children they are. When you talk to them, talk slowly, and don't use big words. You break out your collegiate vocabulary, they'll call you a socialist and blame you for their benefactor being yanked away.
There's about ten others who are their satellites, who come running whenever one is looked at wrong, and they come in force. They're sort of like those little teeny tiny dinosaurs on Jurassic Park II, one can't do much harm all by itself, it's rather mundane and is more likely to hurt itself than you, but you get three, four, five, seven, ten of them together, they become lethal. That's why the Hard Right is always travelling in packs, because individually, they are meek and even cowardly, saying something lewd and then calling YOU names because you dare to stand up to them. Within minutes, though, you will find yourself in an alley, with five of them, switchblades gleaming in the moonlight, giggling and cursing at you, waiting to cut you, for doing little more than speaking your mind or pointing out their fallacies. They do it within the walls of the Liberty Caucus, they do it to anyone daring to walk the streets of U4Prez.
The biggest thing to cripple them is that Eric isn't around to let them have their way. Whether it's beating up on some newbie who is daring to talk about peace, or pinning some female candidate against the cold brick wall and sodomizing her cruelly with a few anatomically humiliating barbs, they have had their way. And Eric turned a blind eye to it all along.
And you wonder why the list of candidates is growing who have quit? No one quits because they have better things to do. They quit because The Hard Right wants to turn U4Prez into a vast NeoCon wasteland, killing all dissention. Eric let them have their way, that's why it's the Hard Right alone who are so deeply hurt with his demise.
The fact that Eric was indeed demoted must mean I am right about a few things. These things, however, weren't concocted when I was in bed with some john, counting ceiling tiles and getting paid for it. These things have been going around for literally months. It's just that, now that someone is actually speaking up, action is finally being taken.
The fact that they sneer and gloat and dance around with such glee when a candidate is fed up with the crapola and leaves should show you the kind of people these Hard Right criminals can be. They cheered when Catbus had enough, kicking the commie to the curb as he left, fed up with the typical neoconservative freeper nonsense that is singlehandedly killing U4Prez. G.E.Smith contacted me the other day, congratulating me for leaving the "cesspool" that is U4Prez--and lest we forget, he came in here like a bright and potent ray of light, very gregarious, got after it quickly and boldly, took on all comers with focus and professionalism. Say what you want about me, but when Catbus and G.E. Smith left, they danced their little jig with the same spirit and smugness that they did when I left.
You go to any "neutral" political message board in the ether, and I guarantee you, it's overrun by these freeper goons, playing their little games, twisting logic, completely uninterested with actual political debate, and pumping their fists in victory if they can get their perceived opposition to quit.
The same way a gang of Crips declare victory by making you run for your life out of the dark alley they hang out in.
The above-mentioned clique and their sycophants, their intention is not political, their intention is violent and cruel.
Word of mouth is always the best means of advertizing. It is also the most destructive force that can ruin a business. I was telling this to Hedrick, after he collected his thirty pieces of silver from the VRWC after he took a PM I sent him to them. I told him, it takes years to build a reputation, and a second to wipe it out. For all the hard work Hedrick put into his candidacy, he is now completely untrustworthy, little more than a snitch for the VRWC. From prodigy to snitch, at the drop of a hat.
The same thing is happening to U4Prez. Favoritism and negligence are destroying it from within, not a psychobitch with an axe to grind from without. The ones who are crying foul the loudest are the ones who benefitted from the favoritism the most. Do you really think these jokers on the Hard Right could get away with sexually harassing comments in real life? They found a place where they could get away with it, and they dug their talons in. Do you really think they have enough friends to wage violence in real life? They found a place here where they could do that, and they call it home. The fact that the creator gladhands them and turns a blind eye to their violence should tell you what U4Prez is morphing into--just another political message board overrun by the worst in American politics.
You wonder why I quit, and yet I an using this blog in this way? It's because I want U4Prez to succeed in the worst way. Never doubt that for a second. I put five months of campaigning into that place. I've waged wars against the big boys and won them all. I've looked the bullies in the eye and called them out for what they are. And I did it with creativity, sincerity, intelligence, and pride. My record stands, and one can perceive it however one wishes. But the favoritism had to end some time, the negligence has to end, the harassment, the violence, it has to end, folks. Eric created something good, but instead of letting his creation run its natural course, he wanted to be part of the fun. Eric is human. Instead of setting a site in motion and letting it go, he fell in love with it. He is Pygmalion, who carved a beautiful statue of a woman, and he fell so deeply in love with her, he wanted her to be real. Eric made a big mistake in trying to promote specific candidates, including me. It is his mistake alone, and that mistake is not only costing his ability to function here, but also the reputation of U4Prez. Instead of building a functional simulated democracy, he allowed the worst elements to take hold. Whether he did so intentionally or not, there are serious problems with U4Prez, and since he can no longer play with his buddies here, he can finally fix the problems we all have been chastizing him about for months, but he poo-poo'ed away.
See you Monday. Until then, keep fighting the good fight. The carpet has been yanked out from us all this last week, it will be interesting to see where everything lands in the days to come.
Love, Olivia. XXX

Thanking Mike for a Job Well Done
The blog is doing swimmingly. Allow me to continue.
I am impressed that the same set of thugs who were hanging on my every word at U4Prez, the ones whose entire lives hinge on what I have to say, have followed me here as well, and are STILL awaiting with baited breath for the next thing to fly out of my mouth. I am no longer even a candidate at U4Prez, and I STILL have them by the balls.
Apparently the Bitch video was even more prophetic than I thought. What I do outside of U4Prez is still the biggest story inU4Prez. After resigning, I am STILL the most powerful candidate on U4Prez! Again, thank you, Hard Right thugs, Liberty Crips, Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, or whatever you hooligans are being called these days, for not only coronating me long ago, but insisting I still wear this crown.
I especially have to thank Mduminiak for making this so.
There was a time when I had a modicum of respect for Mike. He was quiet, professional, polite, concise. He used to be what Smashey still is, a strong, consistent candidate who is much more likely to confront with strength of character instead of freeper nonsense, who is diplomatic instead of a blowhard, who will tell his side and leave it at that instead of use it like a sledgehammer and beat you senseless with it.
Mike changed somewhere along the way, and I think I know when it happened.
A few months ago, during the titanic collision between Kempite and myself, Mduminiak felt he had to press himself into the mix. I made comments I immediate tried to force back into my mouth, while Kempite and his fellow tribesmen continued to kick the crud out of me. Within two days, he had prostitutes on his page, I had the Grinch Video (by the way, you can see these videos on YouTube, just type in U4Prez for the search, and you can see them for yourself), and he had his anti-Olivia video. It is still arguably the fiercest skirmish in the history of U4Prez, and I think the entire population got a huge kick of seeing two of the top candidates, opposed in virtually every way, slinging the mud as fast and furious as we were. It was the apex of negative campaigning, and it reached its conclusion when the U4Prez voters voted for me over him in a run-off.
Like every other election on U4Prez, however, it's flung open to suspicion, but my stand on that is on a previous article. Moving forward.
Apparently Mike, who was Kempite's second banana at that time, and will always be one step behind him, wanted to jump in. The Grinch video says a few things about the Liberty Caucus, at least in his interpretation. Actually, it says nothing about the Liberty Caucus itself, just the way Kempite runs it like Josef Mengele ran the hospital at Auschwitz. That was Kempite's baby all along, and a few of his cronies are part of the LC to give him his daily asskissing, and a couple of token Democrats and liberals to give the appearance of bipartisanship. Reliable sources from within the Caucus have told me the lefties in the LC are little more than punching bags for Kempite and his goons, and at least FOUR members, past and present, have told me Kempite and his rightwing flunkies do little than browbeat them into submission. The same sort of antics these Hard Right jerks pull on the U4Prez community entire, it's even worse within the LC!
My bringing-up of Kempite's leadership skills was seen by Mike as an attack on the LC itself. He says he was defending the honor of the LC, as if such a thing exists. Look through the Grinch video for yourself, with the benefit of hindsight. Am I going after the Caucus itself, or just Kempite and how he runs the place like a tyrant, with a flawed mission statement and members complaining all the while?
I think Mike, always Kempite's boy, wanted to defend his guru like any good stooge would. Seemingly instantaneously, the night Kempite premiered his anti-Olivia video, Mike had FIVE anti-Olivia videos on U4Prez, and by the next morning, there were EIGHT. All of them were quick hitters, all of them very reminiscent of my own style of video-making. Further proof that Mike has nothing to offer but mere regurgitation of what others do.
At the end of that night, I went to the PR board and thanked Kempite and Mduminiak for officially making me the most powerful candidate on U4Prez. If I can make these two nutbars jump every time I say Boo, apparently I am their puppetmaster. On my own profile, I declared myself "The Little Lady who Brought Down the Liberty Caucus". While the population of U4Prez was laughing at the Grinch video, they were getting rubbed the wrong way with NINE anti-Olivia videos put up in less than 24 hours.
I was winning the war, and Mike knew it. That's why, the next morning, he took it upon himself to go behind Kempite's back and negotiate a truce with me. He was very professional about the whole thing, saying he would continue his campaign against me if I continued to talk about the LC. Ultimately, I ended up putting a hold on talking about the LC, and he took down his videos. We gave press releases, all was right with the world yet again.
But make no mistake about this. Mduminiak made it perfectly clear he was defending the LC. To hell with Kempite.
Which I find odd. Here was Mike, Kempite's stooge, throwing his best friend in the whole wide world under the bus. Just the night before, I could picture Mike and Kempite in their basement, giggling like teenagers and making videos, as if they were Beavis and Butthead, giggling at a fart joke. Yeah, Kemp, THAT'LL teach that whore to mess with us, heh heh. You said it, Mike, that bitch won't know what hit her, heh ha ha. Amid their potato chip bags and Dr. Pepper bottles and Kit Kat wrappers all around the desk, they darkly set themselves up to demolish the Olivia campaign once and for all.
Apparently they didn't realize I took it all as a compliment, that these two strong candidates would get so completely bent out of shape over a candidate they always tried convincing the population of being unimportant, unsubstantial. Nine videos in one day surely doesn't seem like I'm just a nobody.
I was very surprised that, the next day, as Kempite slept in the pile of Frito's bags and Coke cans on the floor, Mike was making a deal with Olivia to undo everything he had done. Mike isn't stupid, never said he was. He knew Kempite was failing at this, and didn't want to be associated with such a failure. I can only go by what was said, but Mduminiak made it clear that there was a difference in attacks, that Kempite's was personal, and his was to defend the Liberty Caucus.
In other words, Mike threw Kempite under the bus to save his own ass. Apparently he was tired of being Kempite's douchebag. And when he saw I was going to fight them every step of the way, he buckled.
Two on one, seems to be a fair fight to me. I beat them both, which is why they now attack FOUR to one. Whatever. Maybe by the time it's seven to one, it will be a fair fight. Seven mediocrities to one Olivia.
After backstabbing Kempite, peace was resumed. Mduminiak must have felt vindicated for rolling Kempite over when I allegedly beat him in a run-off. He got off the bus just in the nick of time.
The truce lasted a few weeks, and apparently Mike got tired of it and resumed his attacks. Whatever, I told him, and left it at that. Mike re-posted the anti-Olivia videos, which by this time numbered TEN, and included the Olivia Party video, which was his way of saying all Independents are morons for having me as their leader. I came back with the Bitch video, which put him and his back on their heels, and ever since then, up until my resignation, they've been reduced to a set of freepers, playing NeoCon message board games, rather innocuous, but somewhat annoying nonetheless.
I am glad to see Mike's comment on my blog this morning. It is further evidence that, even after resigning, Olivia is still the biggest story at U4Prez. It's not me doing it, I'm just a girl with a blog. For this to get more buzz than his and Kempite's shows combined is saying something. For someone who no longer goes to U4Prez, I sure still keep them worked up.
Mike is no longer Kempite's monkeyboy. He is ruling the Republican Party with the same sort of tyrannical clench that Kempite has on the Liberty Caucus. He installed many of his buddies from the LC onto the Politburo--errr, Steering Committee--and is dictating the actions of all other Republicans through this. Thirteen Republicans telling 700 brethren what to say, think, feel, and promote. Typical tyranny.
That makes him the perfect NeoCon, shrowded in a conservative facade, willing to say anything to that end, but when it comes to actual practice, his is a thug and a tyrant all the same.
I stand corrected. Maybe he is STILL Kempite's monkeyboy. Kempite Light. A Kempite wannabe. Always a step behind. But instead of being Kempite's Boy Friday, he is waiting for his moment to backstab him again. He is Iago to Kempite's Othello, Brutus to Kempite's Caesar. Kempite is the goldenboy, handpicked to win the whole thing. It's got to bug Mike to no end that, for all his work, all his positioning, he has to continue to be his stooge.
He backstabbed him once. He is a tyrant just like his master, at some point he'll backstab him again. That's what evil bastards do. When they grow tired of picking on the average Joe, they turn on one another.
So, thank you, Mduminiak, wherever you are. Aside from the guy who handpicks the president, I am still the most powerful person on U4Prez, and it's all because of you.
I am impressed that the same set of thugs who were hanging on my every word at U4Prez, the ones whose entire lives hinge on what I have to say, have followed me here as well, and are STILL awaiting with baited breath for the next thing to fly out of my mouth.

Delete This!
The rock that was Olivia having been removed, look at all the insects now scurrying. I am encouraged to write again.
Last night, Jimmycart asked the question many of us have asked ourselves and the mods. No one has answered this question, so don't worry, I will do it for you.
Why is the Delete Photo function not working?
The answer is, because Eric Gurr's buddies were abusing it, and being too pussywhipped to say NO to them, he disconnected it. Instead of confronting the president-to-be and his minions, he chose to give all 2000 U4Prez candidates the middle finger, and screwed you all out of a basic bodily function.
Allow me to fill in the details.
A few weeks ago, at the end of June, U4Prez crashed for, how long was it, a day or two? It went down, and ever since then, the interactive aspects have been screwy. You will notice your text was askew, often forced into tight little columns. The pictures you dwith other U4Prez candidates, all the links were severed. And the Delete Photo function, that's gone.
As I was eludicating the other night in my consideration between just taking a break from U4Prez and leaving altogether, I asked whoever was behind the U4Prez mask for the night, hey, what's up with this? Not that this was the first time that question was uttered, I had asked at least twice before then, with no reply. I am sure I am not the only candidate who would like to remove a picture. A simple enough process, eh? Why hasn't what must be a simple function been repaired?
The moderator, who seemed to think it more important to play with the peasants instead of doing the job he is paid to do, told me on the comment board that it was removed because certain candidates were abusing it, removing a picture and immediately putting it right back on. By doing so, they were bogarting the side on the home page where the new pictures were presented to the board.
Now, let's stop there and catch up a little. Who out there do we see their names in that picture column the most? You might think I'm picking on him unfairly, but can anyone name me anyone else who had their puissant little mug on that list more than Kempite? How many times over the last month or so did we see the exact same "Profile Updated" sign Mduminiak put up there? Everytime these two took a crap in their beds, they took a picture of it, signed their names to it, and put it out there for U4Prez to deal with.
My opinion at the time, as it is now, is it's a non-issue. It is--errr, it WAS--part of the infrastructure of U4Prez. That's one thing I really liked about how U4Prez used to be, many of us pushed against the sides of the room to make it stretch. I realized the additional publicity you could get from doing it, and I too admit to putting up flashy pictures in order to generate publicity for me and the Independents. Having a bright picture there meant exposure you might not get if you weren't in the top three. It was part of the website, I really don't blame anyone for trying to make use of it.
Then again, I wasn't so selfish to just delete and re-post the same freaking pictures over and over and over again like Kempite and MDuminiak did. Like a couple of spoiled brats on Christmas, they hogged the new toy, pushed others away from it, and played with it until it broke, and screw anyone else who wanted to play with it.
Instead of telling these two self-indulgent pugs to lighten up on the Delete Photo button, the powers that be, which is Eric Gurr and his lazyass moderators, declined to stand up to them. I mean, why tell Kempite to do anything? He's the golden boy.
When Kempite tells me, "Does the hooker have her legs open all over U4Prez again," where is Eric to step in and tell Kempite he was out of line? There is a thick stack of sexually harassing comments we have saved over at the U4Prez Women's Society, and if you read them, they all were uttered either by Kempite or his fratbuddies over there on the Hard Right. Eric has never said a word to any of them to knock off the sexual harassment.
Lest we forget, sexual harassment is evidence of criminal intent and even psychosis. It diminishes she who is made to feel embarassed, humiliated, and awkward. Several female candidates confided in the Society, and I will not betray that trust, except to say it's always the same brutes, over and over again, and with rare exception, they are part of Kempite's inner circle, if not Kempite himself.
Eric has access to all comment boards. He even thought it would be cute if Kempite and I went toe-to-toe in a run-off. Whether I truly won it or not, I seriously doubt, because pretty much every election on U4Prez is suspect at this point. If it is a true result, it spoke boldly that Kempite' misogynistic, bullying, and sexually harassing tactics were loathed by the U4Prez population.
As well they should be.
Eric had access to all this, and not once did he lift a finger to put a stop to it. Female candidates came up to me from time to time, wanting to quit because they were being browbeated by sexually harassing comments. I always talked them into staying, hoping we could come up with a way to put a stop to it.
Down the road, I might name names. For now, let's just stay on task.
Eric said nothing to Kempite, when he knew he made arguable the lewdest comment in U4Prez history. Hell, I put it on the Grinch video. Everyone knows this is Kempite. Everyone knows he is a bully who will say the meanest thing he can think of, for pretty lame reasons. Why Eric is betting the U4Prez farm on this sexual deviant is beyond me. If Eric wants to turn the other way when his President-to-be is kicking women in the vagina, as Mduminiak likes to say, it's a private site, Eric can do what he wants, including letting his handpicked winner say the cruelest things he wants to, especially to women, without batting an eye.
If Eric isn't going to say NO to Kempite about something as serious as sexual harassment, do you honestly think he is going to tell him NO to quit humping the Delete Photo button? Two thousand candidates cannot remove their pictures because Eric can't say NO to Kempite.
So here's what you have to do now. You have to ask the mods to do it for you. Fathom that one. The mods don't ever answer anyone. It may take days for them to get around to it. You have to ask the mods, pretty please, I know I am just a candidate and not Kempite or of his ilk, but could you please remove this one little picture for me? What used to take a fraction of a second now takes a week.
You can thank Kempite and Mduminiak for that one. A browbeating misogynist and a goon. Way to go, Eric, you did it again!
So, Jimmycart, I hope I answered the question for you. No one else had the answer, so I am happy to provide it for you. The reason you can't delete a picture is because Eric is too pussywhipped over Kempite to say no to him and his, and as a result you now get to wait until a mod feels like getting off his lazy ass and doing his job. That might take a few days, a week, it's entirely up to him, whenever he's up to it. Until then, Jimmycart, you are shit out of luck.
Last night, Jimmycart asked the question many of us have asked ourselves and the mods. No one has answered this question, so don't worry, I will do it for you.
Why is the Delete Photo function not working?
The answer is, because Eric Gurr's buddies were abusing it, and being too pussywhipped to say NO to them, he disconnected it. Instead of confronting the president-to-be and his minions, he chose to give all 2000 U4Prez candidates the middle finger, and screwed you all out of a basic bodily function.
Allow me to fill in the details.
A few weeks ago, at the end of June, U4Prez crashed for, how long was it, a day or two? It went down, and ever since then, the interactive aspects have been screwy. You will notice your text was askew, often forced into tight little columns. The pictures you dwith other U4Prez candidates, all the links were severed. And the Delete Photo function, that's gone.
As I was eludicating the other night in my consideration between just taking a break from U4Prez and leaving altogether, I asked whoever was behind the U4Prez mask for the night, hey, what's up with this? Not that this was the first time that question was uttered, I had asked at least twice before then, with no reply. I am sure I am not the only candidate who would like to remove a picture. A simple enough process, eh? Why hasn't what must be a simple function been repaired?
The moderator, who seemed to think it more important to play with the peasants instead of doing the job he is paid to do, told me on the comment board that it was removed because certain candidates were abusing it, removing a picture and immediately putting it right back on. By doing so, they were bogarting the side on the home page where the new pictures were presented to the board.
Now, let's stop there and catch up a little. Who out there do we see their names in that picture column the most? You might think I'm picking on him unfairly, but can anyone name me anyone else who had their puissant little mug on that list more than Kempite? How many times over the last month or so did we see the exact same "Profile Updated" sign Mduminiak put up there? Everytime these two took a crap in their beds, they took a picture of it, signed their names to it, and put it out there for U4Prez to deal with.
My opinion at the time, as it is now, is it's a non-issue. It is--errr, it WAS--part of the infrastructure of U4Prez. That's one thing I really liked about how U4Prez used to be, many of us pushed against the sides of the room to make it stretch. I realized the additional publicity you could get from doing it, and I too admit to putting up flashy pictures in order to generate publicity for me and the Independents. Having a bright picture there meant exposure you might not get if you weren't in the top three. It was part of the website, I really don't blame anyone for trying to make use of it.
Then again, I wasn't so selfish to just delete and re-post the same freaking pictures over and over and over again like Kempite and MDuminiak did. Like a couple of spoiled brats on Christmas, they hogged the new toy, pushed others away from it, and played with it until it broke, and screw anyone else who wanted to play with it.
Instead of telling these two self-indulgent pugs to lighten up on the Delete Photo button, the powers that be, which is Eric Gurr and his lazyass moderators, declined to stand up to them. I mean, why tell Kempite to do anything? He's the golden boy.
When Kempite tells me, "Does the hooker have her legs open all over U4Prez again," where is Eric to step in and tell Kempite he was out of line? There is a thick stack of sexually harassing comments we have saved over at the U4Prez Women's Society, and if you read them, they all were uttered either by Kempite or his fratbuddies over there on the Hard Right. Eric has never said a word to any of them to knock off the sexual harassment.
Lest we forget, sexual harassment is evidence of criminal intent and even psychosis. It diminishes she who is made to feel embarassed, humiliated, and awkward. Several female candidates confided in the Society, and I will not betray that trust, except to say it's always the same brutes, over and over again, and with rare exception, they are part of Kempite's inner circle, if not Kempite himself.
Eric has access to all comment boards. He even thought it would be cute if Kempite and I went toe-to-toe in a run-off. Whether I truly won it or not, I seriously doubt, because pretty much every election on U4Prez is suspect at this point. If it is a true result, it spoke boldly that Kempite' misogynistic, bullying, and sexually harassing tactics were loathed by the U4Prez population.
As well they should be.

Eric Gurr, Pimp
No longer encumbered by the binds of candidacy, I think I will be candid.
And I will start from the very top.
Why did Eric Gurr feel it necessary to give me his phone number when I first came to U4Prez? Was it to wish me well? Was it to make me some sort of offer? Was he trying to get down my pants?
Let's think about this for a moment.
When I debuted at U4Prez, I realize I created a buzz with the way I submitted by inaugural profile. I made no bones about what I did for a living, and I was not sure as to the reception I would get. Surely, there would be a few holier-than-thou yutzes who were probably masturbating while they were telling me I shouldn't be a candidate in the first place. There would be others who would champion me for bring a street edge to the place, keepin' it real, as it were. Most would look past the first impression, get to know me as a person, and realize I have a brain.
I was pretty much spot on. Hawk looks at my chest everytime he insults me, and whether that's because he is a closet perv or he is too much of a coward to look me in the eye, I'm not quite sure. Some have hit on me, nothing too serious, a little harmless flirtation, at least they are honest about their intentions. For the most part, everyone got past that initial image and realized I have a few things to say. Whether we agreed or disagreed, most of the population of U4Prez seemed to have taken to me.
And then there's Eric Gurr.
Initially, like Kempite and several others, he questioned my identity. Kempite was more callous about it, which is typical for him, and the Democratic members of the Liberty Caucus will attest to it, if you are not Hard Right, you are nothing but fodder. Which is strange, a Gay Republican daring to talk about anyone else not fitting in. Kempite is one of those candidates who thinks everything is fair game, whether it's someone's profession, or his own alleged AIDS, he will use any tool at his disposal to prop himself up. Dead candidates, LC liberals, whatever. Millions are dying in Africa with no hope of living a few more months from what Kempite allegedly has (I haven't seen the medical records, he could be lying about it just as he lies about being able to take a PM in confidence), and while they suffer from it, Kempite uses it as a political stepping stone.
Kempite is Kempite, and in reality, he's not much different from me. We both pleasure men and like it. We both are hotheaded. The difference is, he's got Eric Gurr in his pocket, and I don't.
Eric questioned my identity as well. He felt I was some Jason Seagreaves character, apparently based on my writing. I must apologize, but with the exception of the plethera of commas MejicoJohn and Willy2000 employ in their commentary, how is anyone's writing so distinguished from anyone else's? I was there but a few days, and he got it into his head that I was Jason.When it was revealed to him I am who I am, Eric saw me as his meal ticket. Here I am, a pretty girl with a shady past, but also with a B.A. and the bulging brain to match. The prostitute with the heart of gold, the lowly street girl with a mind awaiting to be discovered.
What did Eric have before I came along? Kempite? A grouchy homo who hangs out with even more grouchy ultraconservatives? Mduminiak, the quinessential freeper with nothing to offer but obnoxious and unfortunately cliched NeoCon gameplaying? Hawk, who has absolutely nothing to offer but the occasional "typical liberal crap" to toss out?
Eric tried to use me to put forth his million-idea, U4Prez. I wasn't a candidate more than two weeks before he started setting me up for a television interview. Or at least, that's what he told me then. The fact that it fell through lends me to think in several directions. Was there an interview at all? Why me, a newbie still asking around what's going on? Why is he giving this prostitute so much attention?
Eric gave me his phone number, wanting me to call him to verify. Now, that's nothing new, several gentlemen callers at U4Prez have given me their phone numbers, and I haven't called any of them for the same reason I didn't call Eric. believe it or not, I am not at U4Prez to sell my body. I have my own means through which I do this. I make this clear to everyone who approaches me with more than a fun little flirt. I would have liked to have thought I found a place where smarts outweighed appearances. While I no doubt used images that presented me as an attractive woman (you really don't want to see a picture of me when I wake up), and while I am not so naive as to think men won't make passes at me, I would at least like to think the creator of a website has better things to do than try to pick up chicks.
When the television interview fell through, Eric called up one of his buddies, Felix, to get me to do a phone interview with him for some magazine based out of I think San Diego. Again, another guy giving out phone numbers. Why is it all men giving me their numbers? In my experiences at U4Prez, not a single female has ever given me her number. And I have to tell you guys, if you didn't have penises, I wouldn't have much use for you. If women had them, you all would be completely shit out of luck, boys!
I gave Felix a healthy Q&A write-up, but for some reason, no article was ever written. Fancy that.
When it became clear Eric wasn't going to be able to get down my pants, he stopped talking to me.
I have talked to him one time since, and that was July 5th, when I apparently had to raise Holy Hell to get the moderators to get off their lazy asses and put MejicoJohn back on the primary schedule as he was supposed to be. Eric insisted that though I gave up my primary position in protest, I would get into the general election anyway, despite my protests. Still thinking I was his meal ticket, he has tagged me as the "April winner" as his way to keep me involved all the way to the conventions in October. His reasoning was this: Even though Coberloco was an Independent before Independents had primaries, he was awarded a position in the general election as the "April winner". There is no record of this, so I thought it incredibly odd that he would try this. On the Communication Center board, he posted the primary winners and general election qualifiers as of June. There were no Independents posted, because Independents had been screwed out of their ability to compete in such primaries. When he brought this up , this mysterious position for me in the general elections, I was aghast. He was still trying to push me forward, give me things I didn't earn.
During my eloquent exit from U4Prez today, people were asking me why I would say Eric plays favorites. Eric has been trying to push me along ever since I got to U4Prez. Why is this? Has he shown other female candidates the same sort of favoritism? Surely THINK08 or kt2020 are just as thoughtful and intelligent as I might be. Why show such generosity at all to a woman in the first place? I have yet to hear of any other candidate being showed such splendid attention.
That is, until yesterday, when Kempite announced Eric would be on his talk show. At that point, I snapped, because I knew for a fact Eric plays favorites, because he had a long history of having ME as his favorite. After five months of trying to use me to perpetuate U4Prez and failing, he's settled on the only other whore on U4Prez, Kempite.
There are at least a half-dozen other such shows featured by U4Prez candidates, why Kempite? Surely those other candidate Eric gave the finger to were eager to have him.
U4Prez is Eric's million-dollar idea. It's his lottery ticket. When he couldn't get a hottie to front him, he took the frontrunner. When he couldn't somehow get a little piece off of Olivia, he got some off of Kempite. He saw me as someone he could promote, the shining example of what U4Prez could be, and here I was, a pretty face, a solid mind, a ferocious wit, just waiting to be "discovered" by a wannabe webgeek looking to get out of his parents' basement. And if he could get off by hearing my voice, so much the better.
My original soundbite was, the only difference between me and other politicians is I will tell you up front I am a whore. If Eric couldn't pimp out a real whore, he will make damn sure he'll pimp out someone who will willing kneel down and pleasure him.
You might as well hand the presidency over to Kempite. Kempite is the prostitute, and Eric is the pimp. A match made in heaven.
