Subject: Politics and CoJ... I'm impressed Both the Michelle Obama nonstory and the John McCain/NYT innuendo piece passed without partisan comment here. What, this place is suddenly the UN?? |

Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Politics and CoJ... I'm impressed heh. And now ya gotta go and bring it up. I for one, am bored. Seems to be a forgone conclusion that it will be McCain/Obama. So I am taking a short break from paying attention and caring and getting my knickers in a twist. For now. |

Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Politics and CoJ... I'm impressed AcesFull - 2008-02-22 1:05 PM Hopefully this is a sign that people are getting smarter. Nah, just CoJ people. Right now there are several non-stories out there. Obama plagiarizing? McCain's lobbyist? Rubbish. Frankly, even if McCain was having an affair, as the innuendo is seeming to suggest, this is a non-issue. I could care less where the president puts his penis, so long as he is doing a good job running th country. And just to dispel any notion that this is a partisan-based response, I am a liberal democrat who WILL NOT be voting for McCain.
Yeah! Yeah... and... and another thing... YEAH! |

McCain presents himself as Mr Clean so when a campaign chairman is thrown in the clink, one wonders about Mr Clean's judgment and/or cleanliness. Doesn't make Mr Clean dirty - but it would be silly not to wonder what the dealio is there. I disagree with the way you summarily convict any elected official, but you're entitled to your cynicism - I just don't share it. Anyway, what do we have to go on, to base our vote upon if we are not willing to vote based upon a D or R next to the name? Behavior, words and associations. So, these stories matter because they give us a glimpse into the inner workings of people who spend millions of dollars to present a pleasing public facade. The problem with your Berger reference (once again) is that you are comparing a McCain bishop (campaign chair) to a Clinton pawn (adviser), so to speak. BTW, the Founders never intended for us to have a democracy. Mob rule and all that. Edited by Renee 2008-02-22 3:49 PM |

Pro 4292 Evanston, | Subject: RE: Politics and CoJ... I'm impressed Pennsylvania's primary isn't until April. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that (a) Clinton would be a better president, and (b) I'll vote for Obama. Why? Because I think he has a better chance of beating McCain. Sadly, I think Hillary would be a boon to Republican turnout. Some people who otherwise might not bother to vote at all would CRAWL to the polls just to vote against her. I hate that it's true, but as long as I think it is... I'll take the good-looking young guy and pray every day that he surrounds himself with smart people. |

Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism is a fascinating read. It's particularly interesting to watch the cult of Obamaism through Goldberg's lens.

Back to normal OK, carry on yeah, it's not like you didn't know what you were doing Selachophobia, it's called "context." renzi's indictment today fit the context. william jefferson's indictment june of last year didn't. oh, and spokes, this is the 6th time you've expressed your jonesing for a bloomberg candidacy. there is nothing that gets the electorate less excited than the possibility of a bloomberg run for prez. if you think he'd have a legitimate shot, i'd like some of whatever it is you're smoking. you say you want someone who is qualified, so what exactly is bloomberg's qualification? being a billionaire? mayor of NYC? cuz, you know, that worked out so well for rudy. |

jonah goldberg's book is one of the stupidest arguments ever put into print. |
