| Message | Last term, you and the right-wing Economic and United loonies had a regime. It took 5 of everyone else to overvote you 3. One abstaining vote from us 5 and most things would have passed, and they did. |

| Message | We must look to the greater good, which is to say that we must provide our companies some wiggle room, however unpalatable, to try to improve themselves and their products since our economy is so sluggish. We're going to have to vote against; animal testing should require the barest of licenses and there should be no regulation beyond that point. If things become truly atrocious, the media should find it easily enough. |

| Message | The media, being entirely private, is sponsored by the companies. Hmmm, let's think about that for a second... |
