Confirmation Hearing: Hashemite (Secretary of External Affairs - CONFIRMED)

[DownWithTheLeft]

I shall be voting against this nominee.  Anyone who has seceded from the country should not be allowed to represent our nation to foreign countries.  What kind of message does that send?

That's a question in case the nominee didn't notice

[DownWithTheLeft]

I'm not sure I can go for this. Wasn't Hashemite among the secessionists?

He WAS the secessionist.  No one at all left Atlasia except for Hashemite.  He is a traitor to our great nation and should be treated as such.  My vote for president becomes easier every day when Moderate takes direct shots at the Dirty South and regional rights, and patriotism, at every chance

Oh, lord.  Do you actually believe this stuff that you're saying, or do you just want to find any reason possible to claim victimhood?

I'm taking direct shots at patriotism?  Christ.

You are.  How in the world can we appoint someone to represent the country to the rest of the world when that person at one point in the recent past denounced their citizenship?  Seems ridiculous.  With the all the qualified people, you chose him.  Shows, once again, a terrible decision in judgement.  I don't think your stupid, so the only other explanation is to take shots at the RPP, Dirty South, and other pro-regional people

Looks like the nominee will simply dodge the non-softball questions

I ask again:
Why should we let you, a person who is a treasonist to this great country of ours, represent us to the world when you renounced your citizenship?  What kind of message does that send?

[DownWithTheLeft]

NAY

[DownWithTheLeft]

I don't understand.  First, we have a country full of people who think secession is an evil beast, then we have a senate that thinks secession is awesome and that those who secede should be rewarded handily.
