Snowguy, if you really want to start more active period of your, until now pretty unimpressive, presidency by vetoing a harmless but potentially useful bill and facing quite possible overturn, be our guest. I think you are wasting your political capital that can be used in better way.
Yeah, because your time in the senate has been super impressive...
Living wage law: You had nothing to say except to vote on the amendment and vote for passage of the bill. I had plenty to say on that bill, making my case to the senate to lower the age from 21 to 18. I made my position clear soon after the bill was introduced.
Your key piece of legislation in the senate thus far?
National ilikeverin day. Enough said about that.
Caucus infrastructure bill: You had about 4 or 5 sentences in the whole 9 page debate... and one of your posts was simply telling Marokai and Napoleon to shut up. I only made one post in that thread, saying I supported the idea of caucuses but saying they shouldn't have any legal authority (as in, are not official parties).
Regional Ratification amendment: You had a few decent posts in there. I'll give you that one. It's an amendment.. so I had no say in the matter whatsoever.
Another hallmark bill sponsored by Kalwejt: Bringing back the death penalty for people who spell words backwards! The bill was quickly tabled.
Postal reform bill: You had nothing to say in the debate. You didn't even vote on the bill. I didn't say anything in the bill because I planned to support it. Then after the final vote had begun, Shua came with information showing that the current language wasn't sufficient.. so I vetoed the bill. Since then, nothing has happened with that bill. The original sponsors have thrown up their hands and decided not to take it any further, instead wishing the postal service to "just go broke".
Healthcare cost reduction bill: You've said nothing in the debate on that bill and you've offered no amendments when amendments are clearly needed to make the bill right and effective. I think I've made my case pretty damn well with that bill.
Bacon Cheeseburger bill: You've made one comment in that thread about fighting the fast food lobby. I also posted in that thread.
Empowering regions bill: You were active in that debate... but you were arguing that it was a waste of time... something you're attacking me on in this thread.
Working hours reduction bill: You didn't participate in the debate... you simply cast your vote.
You've said nothing in the caucus reform amendment bill.
You've said nothing and haven't voted on the Shell Corporation banning act.
And in this thread, you've made one comment on the bill at hand, and have spent the rest of the time screaming at Napoleon for something unrelated and at me for thinking this bill is pointless busywork.
So, frankly, your time in the senate has been unimpressive. You haven't actively participated in the debate on a large number of bills and have failed to vote in a couple.
This blatant hypocrisy on your part makes me resent you since you are willing to throw me under the bus by calling me unimpressive and 'inactive', when that has not been the case... all while being fairly inactive yourself.
THe first two weeks of my presidency were inactive. There was very little to do because bills were not being passed by the senate. Sure.. I could've issued a round of press releases for you to read.. but I didn't. And I'll take responsibility for not communicating my agenda or making sure my cabinet are doing their jobs. But don't expect me to take criticism from you of all people on this subject lying down.
