Free Time Makes Happy Act (Failed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

AYE.

If, I am correct you swore in on September 30th in the year of our lord 2010, then this vote cast on October 1st does not count as you are no longer a Senator.

[bgwah]

aye

[Badger]

AYE.

D'OH! You are right. Force of habit to never miss a vote.

[Bacon King]

Aye

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

As of right now this has enough votes to pass. Senators have 24 hours to change their vote.

In a case of a tie, can the V.P. cast the tie-breaking vote?

Just asking, so don't get angry, as you uses do, Yank

Not untill the vote is finished. The only way a vote gets finished before seven days is up is when a clear majority (6 or more, or 5 in this case have voted Aye or Nay) since that hasn't occured the vote has to end as a tie. This has about two more days.

And yes,  I will get mad for insinuating that you somehow have the authority to regulate when I will or will not snap.

[AndrewTX]

I really hate doing this, but I change my vote to Nay.

I really want the people to have vacation time, and they really should have it. But, I cant in good mind force companies to give employees vacation time when for a lot of them, the money and the manpower simply isnt there

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Really, please, Yank.

Back those days this cute emoticon was not abused yet.

The vote switching certainly indicates Yank and Andrew didn't want to be on the losing side of this measure, but would kill it if they had the chance (and did).

It indicates as president Andrew will campaign moderate, but govern right wing. It's only one vote, but discouraging nonetheless.

And before anyone wants to cry about the "JCP attack machine", please note this is the first criticism I've had of Andrew since he's run, and it's hardly without basis.

I dont really even take it as criticism. As I stated before, if we were in a better economy, I'd love to be able to vote in favor of it. But in our situation, I dont think the time is right. Also, I've never hid the fact that I'm socially liberal, and fiscally conservative.

Well, a sudden position switch.

Easy, Kal. That's a bit over the top don't you think?

IMHO, let's just say a Mitt Romney comparison is unfairly stretching it; that said, while Chris Shays may be Andrew's political hero, right now he reminds me more of Rob Simmons.

Can we take that as a campaign promise, Senator Andrew, to support this bill in the future once the economy recovers? If so, that's certainly encouraging.

Chris Shays and Rob Simmons? You are talking about such a slight difference between those two you can even get a follicle of hair in between them. Or maybe I am mistaken about one of them. Simmons didn't move that much to the right in the Senate race that I am aware of.

yummm, your eyes really did taste good.


Actually I fully expected this to pass from the start. I voted Aye and then switched to Nay for two reason:
1. To see if any of our weak press would notice and make an issue out of it, No
2. To throw my good friend SPC a bone.

As I said, your false vote, threw me off kilter, even after I pointed it out. So I expected a tie or a 6-4 passage. Either led to passage. So I played a little game with my vote. But since you have accused me of strategery and other illicit actions, buying votes and scandals and such for and such like, I have expropriated your eye balls from my dessert tonight.
