Very well put.

The real question is whether her campaign theme, that only Team Polgar
can save us all from these terrible, horrible people, will win her
votes or cost her votes.

The Polgar blogspot reminds one of the fictional cartoon Team Rocket.

Team Rocket has a slogan, which they always recite, just as our George
here recites much the same thing:

Prepare for Trouble
And Make it Double
To Protect the World from devastation
To Unite All People within our Nation
To Denounce the Evils of Truth and Love
To Extend our reach to the Stars Above
Team Polgar
Blast off at the Speed of Light
Surrender Now or Prepare to Fight

The following is the posting on Susan's Blogspot today referred to
above in which lists all the terrible things that are being done to
the USCF and then states that only if her team is elected can all of
these problems be solved.

What do you think about this?

The troubling state of the USCF

Now that some of the USCF voting members have received their ballots
(most still do not have them), lies, lies and more lies are starting
to pop up in the USCF forums and various newsgroups hoping to confuse
the voters while trying the hide the troubling state of the USCF.

This is the win at all cost election by the people who are desperately
trying to maintain their power and they will do whatever it takes to
accomplish this including physical threats to my children and I, legal
threats to my husband and I and daily insults and attacks.

None and I mean none of the board members spoke out against this kind
of classless tactic. In fact, some even helped fuel the attacks and
some even launched these deplorable tactics themselves.

While some of us are busting our behinds to do positive things for
chess and the USCF, these people spam the newsgroup with thousands and
thousands of posts with derogatory and false information.

The strategy is simple. They believe that if they lie and throw out
1,000 false items, some people will believe in some of these lies and
that is what they are hoping for. They know that it is impossible to
have enough time in a 24 hour day to respond to all the garbage. This
is how the USCF has functioned for years. Instead of doing the right
things, they do what is right for them. They use the same tactic for
years.

And if people like me who want to be above their tactic and not go
back and forth with them, they continue their daily insults and
attacks while telling the members that if there is no response, it
means that the charges are true. I am sorry to say but my children and
students behave better than some of our leaders.

GM Alburt was elected and was not allowed to do much. GM Seirawan, one
of the most well known chess ambassador of the US, lost the election.
They did the same thing to GM Seirawan. They also attacked, insulted
and tried to destroy his reputation.

So what is the bottom line? The bottom line is they are not capable of
discussing the accomplishments of their candidates in the past 3-5
years. They are also not capable of discussing real issues such as:

* Shrinking revenues and rising expenses which caused the USCF to lose
money in 9 of the last 11 years
* Membership level dipped from the mid 90 thousand to low 80 thousand
* Loss of 3 multi-million dollar sponsorship possibilities in the last
5-6 months due to the USCF politics and incompetence
* Pitiful marketing and promotion of the USCF* Loss of a $250,000 US
Championship and a sponsor which invested more than $1 million in
chess
* Lack of support for parents, coaches and the scholastic members
* There is no program or plan to help teach and certify more chess
teachers to accommodate countless schools across the country
* Lack of support for Internet, College, Correspondence and
professional players, etc.
* Displeasure of the USCF members with the board that they elected a
board member with conviction records to keep the current board members
"honest", which directly harm the reputation or what's left of it of
the USCF
* Coming up ideas or plans which can restore the integrity,
respectability, professionalism or increase revenues and visibility of
this federation
* Creating plans or ideas to promote chess the right way, increase
memberships or retaining the current members
* and many more issues...

What they are capable of is throwing out baseless accusations, rumors,
innuendos and insults, etc. There is no chance in the world that these
people can change their ways. They have no vision, no experience, no
understanding and no ability to turn this sinking ship around.

I made my recommendations here and here. You have the power to make
this change. The choice is up to you.

We all need to unite to change this federation. Thank you for your
support!

Its called 'calling it like it is', Sam Sloan. I suggest to you that you
have identified some problems yourself, and fixed none.

Therefore, I suggest, and did so 10 months ago, that if you attended to
issues rather than personalities, you would actually have something to run
on.

Now you have competition, no ideas, nothing accomplished, and furthermore
have indulged yourself in postings would make McCarthy blush, and find
yourself part of a duh-team with no answers and no presence.

And every day, rank-and-file USCF members who go there for problems, real- time analysis of the candidates' matches, and all the other content, are also getting articles about how the chess politicians, and the current members of the EB, without exception, are responsible for physical threats against Susan's children, driving away sponsors, a constant campaign of lies, destroying the reputation of GM Seirawan, neglect of the scholastic community, a membership crisis, a financial crisis, and so on, to cite today's post as an example, and how the only remedy for this is to vote for Team Polgar.
