| Message | It's just it looked to me that you all rather talking from yourselves rather then game persona. It is very confusing. Too avoid, I suggest do like this here. A statement released by a spokesman for the Revolutionary Armed Forces on a cassete tape, played on a pro-Militarist radio show: "The Capitalist Party again shows the people why it cannot govern. The Fascist Party, the group of misguided fools that it is, shows it's colours, siding with the traitors. It is because of such weakness and greed that the country is devided as it is, and why the old traitor elements still hold power. Social-Democrats, United-Liberalists, Constitutional-Radicalists, Liberal Party, they are all of the same old elite class that kept the people oppressed before the second civil war, and who still today keep them under the heel of tyranny. The same traitors wearing different uniforms. Down with them all." |

| Message | Oh, wait. I thought the Fascist Party voted yes. My mistake. But you see what I mean, right? |
