| Message | Perhaps you're issue positions arent moving because they already reflect where you are. In just a few bills I'm already well on the way to having my party officially certified by the game as crackpot mentals so I suspect your issue positions are actually already there, even though they really dont look like it. Also, tis a no vote. |

| Message | Because I'm all for open fucking in the streets and people mounting dogs on camera for the enjoyment of toddlers, as well as murdering small animals to see if this new weight loss pill is harmful. Where could I be going wrong that is keeping my civil rights: restrictive, and my morality: conservative? |
