| Message | What are you trying to say? That the GPA and SA and the Liberal Party and other non-CC parties are communists? Because the GPA was never and will never be a communist group. We believe in democracy, not communism. We believe in freedom, but not to the point where it has been overused as if it was an absolute thing. We believe in liberty with responsibility. Who, then, are you calling "communists"? The GPA? The SA? Tell us. And if you really do not wish to work with "communists", why did you vote YES to the Even-Handed Cabinet Proposal of June 2601 passed by the MLP, despite the fact that the SA and the GPA and other non-libertarian parties? Tell us. The words you are speaking right now do not match the actions that you had performed. |

| Message | Another thing: Since you've voted NO, and since your mind might not change anyway, this proposal won't even get passed anyway even if the other parties included in the proposal voted YES. |

| Message | LP, the executive cabinet is largely symbolic in case you didn't notice. Like the president. They can't make laws. That's parliament's job. It's token, you know? Your continued rhetoric of militancy is surprising. The commies haven't had control in nearly 2 decades. The libertarians are the people's choice. Just so you know. |

| Message | SA are communists, even if liberal in civic liberties, they are for heavy regulation of everything else. i supported wide coalition when there was need for it, nowadays liberals (civic+market) have majority, so there is no need to include communists in the government. and even if gvt plays only symbolic role, i don't see why i should support one i don't agree with. |

It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
