Washington (CLOSED) US Political RP 2016; OOC Pt. II

[Imperial Esplanade]

Anyone who votes against it he will out as "homophobic trash."

"What? You voted against my drilling bill? The heck did you think it meant when it talked about the 'bedrock' anyway? Stupid bigot."

[Tectonix]

Senator Maxwell: "Nay to the Nay."

Goodness me, might as well increase funding for trash dumping and starting a national campaign to exterminate all shrimp (AKA: Long John Silver's)

That's a double-negative, which means yes.

That is implying that the original nay is responding to the other nay, which it isn't. Just a figure of speech.

I have never heard that figure of speech used.

Kiser is on TV!

[Chewion]

He had a doctorate in Psychology

And yet he apparently doesn't know what classes he took, or what kind of practice he ran.

What? I've never been asked what type of practice I e ran and the classes thing was just a miss understanding.

[Chewion]

Kiser is on TV!

No just a story about the emergency landing.

'Dem liberal media, always showing Kiser's stupid shenanigans on TV.

"I can shoot a man, and the damn Liberal Media will blow it way out of proportion!" -Kiser, probably

"They are being very unfair because they are showing all the things I do, and all the things I say on TV!"

Two options for another character, perhaps an additional speaker for the Republican Convention? Thoughts on which route I should take before continuing on with either character?

Short Bio:

Born to Central American immigrants in the Bronx, he seemed to be set up for failure. He grew up impoverished and under people who others would call "bad influences", he only succeeded through his hard work in school and being able to quickly make connections. His high scores and and active participation allowed to receive a scholarship to Hofstra University, where he studied law and joined the Republican Party. After graduation, he founded a law firm with his friend, Joseph E. Chao, and got deeply involved with the Suffolk County Republican Party. Chao eventually became the County Attorney, and Torres soon ran for local legislature. He won a seat, and soon stated making his name known throughout the county. The old congressional representative eventually retired, and after a grueling election, at age 38, he was representative for the second district of New York. In congress, he supports laws that help legal immigrants, education, and is personally for lower taxes. His stance on the military is confused and not clear. He is soon up for election.

Other Info: He is unmarried and has no children.
