Congressional Report #5
•
by Sally Willis
Side switcher? It's an outrage!
Or is it? I hit the Congressional ground running. I was happy and content to run with my party's policies.
But what happened? Well, I don't do "shrinking violet". It was my intention to make a large SPLASH, and thereby become unforgettable. Being a congressmen meant something to me, and (yes, I actually DID read and check through such stuff as the Congressional Rules of Order) but, yes, I fell foul of a lack of comprehension ... them rules are not perfectly clear.
I learned that I had pissed off the MDP "High Command" through a "senior" who normally "avoids talking to 'lessers'", but that senior lost me when he called me a bitch for failing rapidly to come to an understanding of whatever point he was making.
I'd very much like to continue to gain experience in Congress, but I'll not kowtow to the opinions and instructions of those who describe themselves simply as "seniors".
If I'm fortunate enough to gain a seat in the next congress for the CPF, I'll continue to work to expose flim-flam and cynical politicking, I'll continue to examine congressional procedure with a view to streamlining it and empowering the ordinary player's role in the political process, and (of course) I'll uphold CPF policy and obey whipped votes.

Argumentum ad hominem is the tool of the lessers
the only thing I saw you propose that made sense was taking the small "o" out of CRoO
everything else complicated the shit out of a very very very basic and easily understandable set of rules and guildlines
good luck to the CPF
I disagree. The rules ARE simple. But I was told there was no need to incorporate the punishment thing; that was in the Speaker's purview.
And yet ... in the dying days of the current congress you old farts have gerrymandered a punishment "rule" through a rapid travesty of a debate before putting it to the vote. Shame.
Shame for gerrymandering.
Shame for claiming there were no punishment rules.
Shame for hiding punishment rules away from the CRO, which is where they properly belong.
Kudos to you though, because I do remember your sympathy for the small o removal.
I quit the MDP because I had little faith of keeping my place and even if I did, I would have been unhappy supporting a party whose in-Congress policies are so far removed from its ideological orientation. I don't expect any you to understand that.
Side Switchers keep politics fresh and free of bed sores. As far as I am concerned, you and Leo Balzac have done a service to your party by letting in new talent where you left off and then moving elsewhere to share your knowledge with other parties.
Sorry I didn't stick around to see how your CRO proposal went. Perhaps CPF will be more supportive of adding to forum procedures. gl!
