The Democrats
Senator Alyssa Potter
The junior U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, Alyssa Potter is commonly known as "Madam Democrat" by both the press and other legislators on the Hill. She's regularly ranked by Newsweek as one of the five most liberal members of Congress, and has been rewarded by massive media attention for this distinction.
Senator Potter was the author of the bill to provide amnesty for illegal immigrants, citing it as "the next logical step" from President Silverhawk's proposed guest worker program. As one might expect, she has also supported the repeal of the Patriot Act.
She has sworn that she will withdraw all American troops from Iraq and plead "with the international community to forgive America for the sins of Noah Silverhawk" by re-joining the United Nations. She has, however, proposed withdrawing from NAFTA, citing outsourcing as the "single largest detriment to the American Dream."
A former mayor of Philadelphia, Potter has called for the same fiscal sanity and balanced budgets that she delivered for six consecutive years in Philly. She has, however, promised "never to raise taxes on those making over $200,000 a year" and supported rolling back the Bush/Silverhawk tax cuts.
Senator Potter remains committed to the war on terrorism, but will never go to battle unless all attempts at all possible diplomacy fail first.
And Allyson Potter reminds me of Allyson Schwartz...except Potter was Mayor of Philly (Schwartz was not) and she pledged not to raise taxes on those making over $200 thousand a year (and Allyson Schwartz would have no problem doing that).
