New Politics Discussion

The last political "fan post" has been replied to over a thousand times, so it was only a matter of time before a new one came up anyway.  Don't yell at me for posting this.

 

If I may suggest avoiding certain topics when possible:

1. Experience as it applies to either Obama or Palin.  Unless someone has something new to say, it seems to me it's been beaten to death.

2. Palin as a grandma-to-be, or at least attacks on that.  I'd think that commenting on news coverage of it is cool, but no "drunken slut" posts.  

3. Unions and their alleged role in the downfall of the Big Three automakers.

4.  Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design.

I'd like to see a discussion that had no one or two word posts.  I'd like like to see a thoughtful discussion focused on real policy instead of wedge issues.

Of course the Republican National Convention is cranking up as I type, so that would be good to talk about.  I'm not particularly fond of the current speech (is this St Paul's mayor?).  He just said they'd paint the Mississippi river "John McCain red" from St. Paul to the Gulf.  I'm not sure that's very good imagery, given McCain's hawkish leanings.

Anyway, so here's a new political discussion if you want.

In regards to the Palin situation (her daughter),

I think Obama said it best in that this shouldn’t be what politics is based on in this election. Teen pregnancy is somewhat of a problem in the country and the best that can be done by the media is to give the family privacy.

Also, I was watching ABC News last night, and Steponopolis was on there and he was talking to some past strategists, and they were saying that in the beginning, most of the Rep delegates were praising McCain for selecting Palin, but now, some have the mindset of “What was he thinking??” Its just something interesting to think about….

Well they didnt exactly reveal that

I guess they couldnt reveal the certain delegates because of the problems it would create within the party, but still pretty interesting if it is true.

how many posts did the last one get to?

i gave up b/c it was retarded to load and it turned to the discussion of evolution which i find to be insulting to my intelligence to listen to people belittle. and i dont wanna get into it, so save your energy.

there were some interesting discussions though before it got to 750+ posts and with the ’Pub Convention goin on it figures another was bound to show up.

so here’s my Question:

What’s your opinion of Joe Lieberman? He is speaking at the convention tonight so i figured id ask b/c democrats are familiar with him and now he seems to be lining up with republicans. What do you think of the guy?

Lieberman

It would’ve been a disaster if McCain picked him. It may have picked up some independents, but no Democrats and a lot of Republicans wouldn’t have been on board with it.

As a Democrat, I don’t like the way he lost his party primary and then ran as an independent, so that pretty much soured me on him for good. Don’t like his stance on Iraq. Don’t like the fact that he would speak at Republican National Convention. If the Democrats didn’t need him they’d kick him out of the caucus for sure.

I’d say he’s getting ready to switch parties but he still votes with the Democrats on social stuff.

by Black Francis on Sep 2, 2008 8:15 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Agree

from an ideological standpoint I would have preferred Lieberman, however that selection would not have united and fired up the Republican base. I don’t think a McCain-Lieberman ticket had a chance to win. Bottom line, a lot of hardcore conservatives that perhaps were put off by McCain’s moderate views will be back in the thick of things given Palin’s very conservative positions and are more likely to come out in big numbers on election day and vote.

Leaked Opposition Research

It’s not at all uncommon for campaigns to have that kind of information on their opponents and then some. I think it’s important to say that this came from the state party apparatus in Alaska, and is wholly inconsistent with how the Obama campaign has run things to this point. There’s no political advantage to be gained from it anyway. All you can get is blowback. I think it’s a safe assumption that one or two idiots decided to do this on their own.

That Obama has been handling the Palin situation (regarding her family) perfectly…

I get so tired of republicans using

the term ‘liberal media.’ It so easy, so pat and so dismissive. What an easy way to discount anything that’s reported by saying it’s coming from the ‘liberal media.’ Sure the NYT has a liberal bent just like Fox and the Wall Street Journal have a conservative one. Try forming an argument for a change. Are you saying that Republicans don’t have attack mechanisms at their disposal? Tell the John McCain in South Carolina in 2000 that.

by jcAustin on Sep 2, 2008 10:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

first off

if you deny that the media is liberal I dont want to bother talking with you. Second off all I stated was that the liberal media allows obama to not attack her while the media does it for her. Do you actually disagree with taht statement? You’re talking about attack mechanisms by the Republicans…I have no idea what you’re talking about. I made a simple statement and you’re talking about something entirely different.

"liberal" media

is a very limited way of looking at it. I think newspapers are mostly liberal, but tv is more balanced. Radio is downright conservative.

I don’t see the media attacking Palin at all. Do you expect them not to report this stuff? Was the media going light on Obama when all they talked about for a couple weeks was the not-so-reverend J. Wright?

The liberal media label is an outdated half truth.

No, not really

I’ve been following the news for 30 years, since before middle school. I’ve seen plenty of tv news shows. I still watch sometimes, but I really don’t pay much attention to the anchors’ names unless they seem really obnoxious. And since I also read a lot online bias isn’t hard to spot. I get my news from many sources and read op eds from both sides of the aisle.

Do you think Bush had to do anything but sit back and watch when the Swift-boaters attacked Kerry? Do you deny that Fox News and all Rupert Murdoch owned media is Conservative? If so I don’t want to bother talking to you either. All I’m saying is it’s easy to say the ‘media’ is liberal, it’s totally unprovable because it depends on your point of view, and every time a conservative says that little pat phrase I just shut down.

The media isn’t particularly biased, they just want to go 24/7 with any story they think has legs, for ratings and money. Gotta fill the column inches and burn the segments somehow.

Believe it or not, its kind of a new deal, and kind of newsworthy.

There is already reason to question her parenting, with her apparently out of control teenager.

its a terrible day when that sewage cooked up over at Daily Kooks has begun to spread to other parts of the interweb.

how fucking retarded do you have to be to cook up a conspiracy theory that her newborn son is actually her daughter’s child and she’s covering up for her. Seriously? So its just a vast right wing conspiracy that managed to pay off the doctors and forge a birth certificate and fake her pregnancy at the National Governor’s Association meeting.

You lose all credibility, not that you had any to begin with, when you come spouting garbage conspiracy theories like that. What a fucking nut you are.

by brettgardner on Sep 3, 2008 2:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

its not politics

that make me angry. its the continuous revelation that there exist people in this world that are incapable of logical and rational thought.

seriously, to think that humankind has sunk to such a level that there are individuals that are unable to distinguish between delusion and reality is sadly frustrating.

i dont mind opposing viewpoints. I gladly welcome dialogue from both sides, liberal or conservative. but extremism on either side, especially to the point of complete and utter fantasy for the pure purpose of propaganda, is despicable and should be derided as such whenever present.

id argue

that it affects us all. extremism is good for no one. extremist viewpoints are not founded on rational thought. the idea that my daily life can be affected, through actions taken by the federal government, based irrational thoughts is frightening to me.

if someone’s delusional propaganda, such as that of the Kos’ cooked up idea regarding Mrs. Palin’s newborn son, were to potentially have a serious impact on the election, leading to the election of one candidate over another, Id argue that my life could be very much affected.
