The Public White House: Constitutional Convention at FINAL VOTE!

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Winston? He lost a debate to ME of all people, and is  a flip floper Maoist totalitarian.

Benconstine's a War Hawk.

Sewer raises some important points.


These appointments are quite troubling.

     I doubt there is much threat of Maoist policy being enacted given the composition of the upcoming Senate. A hawkish foreign policy may have more success, but I suspect that would ultimately be frustrated as well.

Benconstine was complaining about the current SoIA because he wanted Atlasia to waste it's limited foreign aid resources on funding the wealthy, warmongering state of 'Israel'.

That's an unacceptable position to hold, imo.

I see fairness, balance, and respectfulness weren't on the list of criteria when you were deciding who to appoint.

Because fairness, balance, and respectfulness would have been to appoint your bunch of trollish friends to every single cabinet position ?

Nope, thanks for your usual nasty and ridiculous remarks.

Afleitch likes playing a character, Vepres. To not expect the far right's pet moderate Tory to not play these stupid games probably would've been too much, I guess.

So questioning the appointment of a Maoist is now a "far right" position?

It is an unnecessary distraction that deliberately diverts discussion from 99% of everything we've done and everything we plan to do. It is a hollow attack given that Winston has no ability to make policy on his own, and it sidesteps any and all substance. It is a disingenuous effort to tear at an Administration without having to take on big arguments.

Afleitch may very well prove to be your best friend in future political endeavors. He has a pretty smile. Seems permanently in good stature with everyone no matter what he does or doesn't do. If anyone was the perfect toy for a right-wing political comeback (now with 55% less substance!) it will be him.

It seems like your personal vendetta against afleitch is what is diverting this discussion from the matter at hand, i.e., your administration has appointed someone who adheres to a murderous authoritarian ideology worthy of condemnation.

I chose those who I believed would be competent. I chose those who I knew would be active. I did not take ideology or personality into account because that has nothing to do with how I plan to run my administration. I think the number of Atlasian political parties represented in the Cabinet can attest to that.

If all people focus on is personality contests and false ideological lines in the sand, this game is doomed. We need reform and we need it now. My administration has no time for ego trips and left/right debates.

Mr President Spectator and Society; you have nominated a noted forum apologist for Maoism and the extreme left (and it's excesses) for the post of SoIA. Would you ever be willing in the future to nominate a Falangist or apologist of the extreme right for a similar role if they were proven to be competent?

As a matter of fact yes. I considered NCY for a Cabinet post, but he made clear that he would prefer to maintain the RPP presence in the Senate, rather than join my administration.

Honestly, my nominees should not be judged on their ideologies because that is not what they will be doing very much with. My administration will be all game reform, all legitimacy of the Executive, and all activity and competence. I don't plan on jumping into the fray on divisive ideological issues; you all can do those once I'm gone.

Would you be willing to publicly condemn and rebuke Maoism/Stalinism/Hoxhaism/(Insert murderous totalitarian ideology here) and commemorate the victims of these vicious ideologies?

Libertas, stop complaining about my personal beliefs or gtfo, to put it bluntly.

And, there have been precedents for people of my ideological persuasion being in Western governments

Thanks for your mature commentary, you've made my vote on your confirmation much easier.

As if you were going to vote Aye anyway.

It's already been made clear my views have little to do with this and you causing a fuss over it is simply you trying to derail this administration due to it being the ideological opposite of you.

No, don't even try to wrap yourself around this administration like that, as you're the only Nay vote I'm decided on at this point. Not one of Purple State's appointments is even remotely similar to me ideologically, but you're the only one who's gone out of his way to convince me to vote against you. 

Your inability to maturely address and respond to valid comments and criticism, summed up by your "gtfo" comment, was the straw that broke the camel's back. Pretending that your idolization of murderous dictators should just be a non-issue is absurd.
