| Message | "We are not urprised to see the interloper Regime once again petting one another. This is ridiculous legislation - all the problems remain, and - in some cases, the Red Tories plan to increase the woe. What is the Red Tory solution to drunk driving? Nothing. What are the Red Tory solutions to passive smoke and the rising tide of smoking related illness? Nothing. What are the safety protocols on gun ownership? Nothing. No plan. No responsibility. This is anarchy. The Red Tories are unfit to govern. The Spenocrats are accessories. No wonder Likatonia is turning to us." --Avar Akkad Avara Immeressen, in an impassioned speech on Channel Zero News. |

| Message | "The communists response to all the issues is to completely destroy the field. Tearing away freedoms is not the answer. A vote for the SuD is a vote for our nation's more arrogant, and senseless party. Remain sensible, do not listen to their slander and lies." Tyler MacNeill, in response to the comments made by the SuD |

| Message | "What the Red Tories fail to acknowledge is - while they may have seen our policies as Draconian - we DID cure the problems of drunk driving, passive smoking, the smoking-related illness crisis, and the sudden violent gun culture. Yes, our response was arguably more intense than it needed to be - but the Red Tories have NO response. Which is the lesser evil, being a little heavy handed, but getting the job done - or being useless?" --Avar Akkad Avara, responding to Tyler MacNeill. |
