Is income tax illegal??

JacobKerr — Wed, 07 May 2008 18:36:20 -0400

I think one of the reasons the way the IRS is enforcing income tax is because it contradicts the 5th amendment and it clearly states in the IRS code that income tax on a employees labor is optional. Something else I know about the 16th amendment is that it was suppose to be temporary and that it was targeted towards the income for a business on there goods and services not the individual employees labor. I think it's the 5th amendment that states that an individual can not incriminate himself (s...

Mat8675 — Mon, 05 May 2008 10:39:41 -0400

I was just wondering, if I pre-ordered this today, would I have access to the Beta!?

Beta?

Piratetacos — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:13:38 -0400

Can we expect the beta any time soon?

More than one?

Ok, well I just saw that upcoming TPM 2008, and I have and older one that I purchased in 2006 but was copyrighted 2004. I was just wondering, how many Political Machine games have there been? If there has only been the one I have and the upcoming one, is there a way to update for cheaper, or free?

Other Candidates from 1928-2004 and 19th century

whoman69 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:15:07 -0400

These are most of the important candidates from the 20th and 19th century not included in the game. Generally more effective candidates will have more points. Alf Landon and McGovern are pretty pathetic as is shown by their results. Feel free to disagree with any of my assessments. To use these simply create a new character and go into the character files and replace it with these stats. If you want to include a picture my suggestion is this website http://www.campa...

Making your own candidates: How to

Brad Wardell — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 14:56:19 -0400

Here is how you can add new candidates to the game and share them with others:

Step #1 Find the image. I went on Google and found a picture of John McCain.

Step #2 convert the image to a small PNG. Don't make it too huge. I made mine something like 150x186 but as long as it's not ridiculously large it should be fine. Then save as .PNG with your favorite graphics package.

Step 3: In the game, create a new candidate and pick your new image and then set him up.

Step 4: Exit ...

I Cant Type!

RipCity323 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:15:56 -0500

Ok, when I start a game I want to create myself as a candidate. WRONG!

It won't let me type anything at all for my name. It just makes an annoying beeping noise. And I'd like to play online aswell. But I can do that if I can't even name a person. Someone help me please!

Political Machine 1.02 -- Saved games mess up advertisements

greggbert — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:57:58 -0500

On version 1.02, I am having a problem when I restore a saved game midway through the election. The problem is that on reload my advertisements tend to switch states, switch type, and the costs are not correctly reflected in the assets screen.

For example, I was on week 20 with a television ad in illinois about Support More Jobs, and a television ad in virginia about Support war on terror, and a radio ad in Colorado about war on terror. WHen I restored the game, it showed two TV ads in virg...

Lil Bush is a hilarious cartoon.

Also, I can't wait for more great Stardock products...

Relationship between human and nature

gary_waugh — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 01:57:50 -0400

The one discipline that, sad to say, has hitherto remained virtually untouched by any concern for the environment or the human-to-nature relationship is psychology. You will search in vain in the texts and journals of any of the major schools of psychology—clinical, behaviorist, cognitive, physiological, humanistic or transpersonal—for any theory or research concerning the most basic fact of human existence: the fact of our relationship to the natural world of which we are a part.
Any thoughts...

Save The Constitution!

JacobKerr — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:48:48 -0400

How can someone have a war on terror??? Are we not creating more terrorist with our actions? I think if they were concerned about terrorism and there was not a ulterior motive then the "war on terror" would have and should have been handled much differently. I think anyone who justifies or even attempts to justify what the United State of America's doing to families and citizens in Iraq is evil. I have heard reports of entire families being shot to bits, bombed and little girls being raped by Am...

Can't change campaign manager or game name

jscott991 — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 18:21:41 -0400

Has anyone else experienced a problem with changing the campaign manager name after a reinstall?

I recently installed the game on my Vista machine and I can't change my name from 'Pat Smith' or my game name from 'Campaign 2004'?

Where is the campaign manager name even stored?

How many digits would the serial number of this be? Not asking for a serial number, need to find whe

Zellio — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 06:16:06 -0400

First off, I'm not asking for a serial number, don't IM me, or give me advice.

So I just noticed that the Political Machine and World War 2 Front Line Command need serial numbers and not cd keys... Damn I'm blind.

Only problem is... I don't have a clue where the serial number is, as they don't exactly say on the box.

Yes, they are real boxes, bought from stores, they even have cd keys (well, frontline does). I just can't seem to fi9nd the serial numbers, and am entering random codes ...

Any success on CrossOver Mac?

cavillor — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:34:21 -0400

I've played this game on Windows and love it. I'd like to play it on my Mac, but though it installed into CrossOver, when I launch it nothing happens. Has anyone successfully installed this game into CrossOver?
