SPC for Senate: Part X

[Marokai Backbeat]

Anyone actually willing to debate an issue is more than welcome in the Senate, as far as I'm concerned.

There are two types of Senators, those who debate, and those who create debate. SPC does the latter.

Ah, so SPC is the idea man of Atlasia. Comes up with an idea and let's everyone else do all the work?

[Marokai Backbeat]

Any legislation in mind should you win?

[Marokai Backbeat]

While I wish you luck SPC, I am still irked that you threw your own race last time handing victory to a Senator who then went MIA and was thrown out of the Senate. Nothing since then has assured me that you would not such a thing again.

But without him doing that, I would've never come to the Senate :-P

I see no reason why we should elect some sort of Party-Like-It's-1789 Nay-saying Randroid.

And what do you think of my proposed amendment to the OSPR?

Unnecessary and paranoid. Issues of Constitutionality should be taken up with the courts if you actually think they're necessary.

For the record, if the Enumerated Powers Resolution is signed into law unadulterated before the declaration deadline, I will drop out of the Senate race.

Lol, so we pass a bad resolution in return for political benefits? Is this how the RPP governs?

What does this have to do with the RPP? And why is it bad for Senators to take their oath seriously?

It just seems like a very awkward way to try and get a bill passed. It's like GPORTER's promise that if he won the presidential election, he'd serve one term and leave Atlasia forever, but if he didn't, he'd stay around and keep irritating us.

I don't have high expections for the resolution passing in this Senate. So, I was just saying that by some longshot that the bill passes, I will drop out of the race. Are you suggesting that I issue a retraction?

I might be willing to give the resolution consideration if you take back such a pledge. It just doesn't seem right, to me.

Congratulations on your failure, SPC.

Will you be refusing to publish a platform again this time?

I can tell my constituents that I would have never voted for any "stimulus" bill to waste taxpayers' money.

The stimulus that, according to the GM's reports, was incredibly successful?

Vote SPC: He supports the right of smokers to give children respiratory problems.

     Every good thing can be spun to look bad. Case in point: the quoted post.

Please explain how overturning a smoking ban is a good thing. Not in terms of libertarian buzzwords (I know about personal and business freedom, blah blah), explain how it's better for society for second hand smoke to be everywhere.

     It is difficult to explain such a thing to one who explicitly rejects the value of freedom.

And evidently difficult to understand for someone who places idealistic values of "freedom" above what is an empirical success and observably better for all of society's health.

You can't agree to disagree when the argument is literally idealism vs. empirical success.
