Clinton: Why I Voted No On FISA
MiddleRoad,
New found respect for Hillary, because as a sophmore senator, she makes grandstanding speeches about why she voted a certain way? She is no longer a candidate, and she supported plenty of wiretapping in her day, when it was in her interest, or maybe you forgot she was wiretapping republicans while Bill was in office.
Please read the story below titled "More Of Hillary Clinton"s Alleged Illegal Wiretapping Exploits Uncovered"

NYCAlex,
Your civil liberties are only really being compromised if you are accepting cell phone calls from Afghanistan or the Gaza strip.
The republicans won't have a field day painting Obama as a flip flopper for supporting this, because its theirs. If anything it scares them a little. The will attack him for flipping on some other issue. posted 07/10/2008 at 10:40:03

I'm trying to get your point... Are you saying democrats suck as much as republicans because they lie just as much?
Or is it that you think Obama is a fascist because his party will follow him whatever his stance?
I can't read through your gripe to see what you are grasping at, I really think Obama is a lot less likely to get into a war than McCain (or Clinton for that matter). If there is war that starts it won't be him that started it. posted 07/10/2008 at 10:28:14

Kristen writes: "why in God's green Earth would Obama or any Democratic candidate for that matter ever run anywhere near the center?"
Even if more people identify themselves as Democrats, it does not mean that all Democrats run the far left. The vast majority of Americans are radical one way or the other.
Why not have what is best for all people, instead of a select segment?
And what is the left Kristen speaks about really trying to promote? I mean all I ever hear are gripes. I don't see anybody putting forth solutions.

Blogs like this undermine real progressivism. To promote undermining the Democratic Presidential candidate by supporting a delegate coup at the DNC or to promote withholding campaign contributions from him is nothing more than militant angst. MILITANT ANGST.
We are a nation of many types of people and for all those types people. When a candidate like Obama attempts to reach out to all people, it is not a matter of losing his core values, rather it is reaching out to those values that serve a majority of all citizens, black, white, straight gay, rich, poor, man, woman, religious or not...etc. This isn't some attempt to undermine the radical far left, which are as much a self-serving interest as big oil. This is an attempt to heal a nation divided, and a majority of Americans seem to support Obama's message (flippy or not) posted 07/09/2008 at 12:19:02

Update: Sending Your Obama Money to Feingold
Smart, send a message to Obama about FISA, which is nothing but leftist scare-mongering about privacy violation. Gee allowing the government to tap international phone calls to known or suspected terrorists abroad, doesn't seem to be a totally bad idea....not that I agree with FISA 100%. But to cut off your nose for a single issue to send a message, well that really doesn't say much for compromise.

Where's The Line? Fox Shows Footage of Dead Supermodel
The ultimate sick of this whole article is that Rachel Sklar invites you to watch the footage yourself, thus a defacto support of the footage. This piece is nothing more than propaganda. While I agree the whole thing is in bad taste. You can't just provide a link to the dead images and absolve yourself of actively promoting viewing it, by saying it bad.
Shame on Fox shame on Sklar. And shame on hypocrisy. posted 06/30/2008 at 18:35:08

See thats what your missing the whole wiretap thing is linked to the terrorist funders, they aren'ty listening in on average Americans, only those who are communicating with suspected terrorists abroad.

Illiniwatcher, your post is super long, but I was able to find the central fallacies in your thinking... there are still plenty of REGULATIONS in place.

Health care should not be for everyone because there is no way to pay for it. Half the country can barely survive on their paycheck, now its going to be smaller. The money has to come from somewhere, traditionally, the middle class foots the bill for everyone.
you won't be able to see the doctor of your choice
Government control will lead to poorer healthcare for those who could have afforded it otherwise. This is happening in Canada, where a politician with cancer has come to America for treatment because she couldnt get it quickly enough at home, despite the fact she was an advocate of universal healthcare, apparently only as it applies to other people
Government control over healthcare would result in discrimination against people who are fat, drink alcohol, smoke, rockclimb, etc... why?

Dodd And Feingold Will Filibuster Telecom Immunity
OK brilliant peoples!
Go after the telecoms, sue them silly on the wire taps, who do you think pays for it in the end? The consumer! We shouldn't give immunity to the telecoms for subjecting themselves to the government, so people should sue them for the illegal taps, then there will be a huge settlement, and the telecoms will raise prices to offset the losses.
Yes and we need to spend more tax dollars going after frivolous lawsuits.
I understand Feingold's idealism, but he's out of touch. Responsible government is to GOVERN not to investigate and prosecute and impeach endlessly. These are distractions from real issues, like better schools, infrastructure and real personal freedoms. posted 06/24/2008 at 16:25:42

The Libertarian Disaster Recovery Fallacy
Visceral,
"In a libertarian's twisted mind, turning every disaster into another Katrina is a small price to pay for righteousness"
Not sure where you came up with this. I don't consider myself twisted because I don't trust the government and I don't want to pay more taxes.
The government bureaucracy has been proven to be less efficient that private business. Congress couldn't even run their own cafeteria efficiently and cost effectively.
The idea is this, how do you pay for everything, Universal Healthcare, Infrastructure, Free Education, Cheap Fuel, Save the Environment, social security and have half a trillion in the bank for the next string of disasters and so on, without destroying the middle class with more taxes? and please don't be snide about the cost of the War in Iraq... thats a done deal and we aren't living in the past, we have to pay for that now anyway.
Just wondering if there are solutions, or just gripes. posted 06/24/2008 at 16:15:41

let me get this straight, since I'm a moderate libertarian, "it's proof that Conservatism/republicans/GOP should never be allowed to govern."
So your saying Someone like Abraham Lincoln should never have been allowed to govern?
Are you saying you prefer a one-party system like China, North Korea, or the former USSR?
Are you saying that the democratic governor of Louisiana and democratic mayor of New Orleans have no responsibility because we should throw out "all politics is local" in favor of a top down bureaucracy?

Ex-Clinton Spokesman: Drudge Bastardizes The Press
dvdpt...
"Obama will take over the media they will be regulated this means by-by Hannity, O'Rally, Beck" You should hope not... Freedom of Speech is the most valuable right an American has... whether you agree with someone or not...
Suppression of this right to expression would amount to say what Castro, Putin, Chavez and Iran and China do... If you like living the United States, keep in mind so much of freedom depends on your right to free speech. It should be protected at all costs.
"will not be able to lie they will have to have the facts and they will be monitor according to the regulation!"
I agree with fact-checking, but the monitoring would have to apply to the Huffington Post as well, I'd be willing to guess half of the blogs out here and 3/4 of the comments would have to come down to be reviewed or for for "questionable facts"
Thats all bad. posted 06/12/2008 at 12:48:24

realpolitic,
At least we have freedom of the press... Standards of journalism? got news for you. Muckraking yellow journalism has been around for centuries. There is always some sort of bias thats why articles have what is called a "slant" maybe you have heard the term "whats your angle?"
As far as right wing conspiracies and the news, Something like 85% of all political donations from the media go to the democratic party. Reporters must declare these donations so that the public knows how they tend to slant their stories...
What makes journalism truly "fair and balanced" is multiple media outlets representing different points of view... because well everyone see things differently.
Hearst and Pulitzer are often credited as getting the US involved in The Spanish American War. By knowing your history, you'll reward yourself with the knowledge that none of this is new stuff. Media, like government, should not be trusted. Period. Glean what you will from differing sources to create your own opinion, rather than just subject yourself to a regurgitated point of view. posted 06/12/2008 at 12:37:13

Clinton Faces Largest Campaign Debt In History
I just wanted to bring the attention back to all the vendors who are going to get screwed out of their earned pay. Meanwhile Hillary will sit on her own millions while the working people have to suffer.
Its a bunch of BS. If she doesn't bail herself out, and pay vendors off, well she really doesn't like people in general. So glad she lost, I can't imagine what she would have done to the country... posted 06/10/2008 at 12:05:54

cowboyjerkface,
Moderates like myself, with lower mid-class income, thought the country was in great shape because I was getting a decent paycheck for the first time in 5 years and I had a low 30-yr fixed mortgage.
I welcome constructive criticism on making this country a better place. But I don't think insulting people is a useful tool. Be a progressive, not a finger pointing angryman who tries to beat people down by calling them stupid.
Its not their fault they make more money than you. posted 06/10/2008 at 12:58:56

I wouldn't be too upset. Its like having a Gay political coalition, would you be upset because it left out 8 or 9 out of ten people, right?
Its not that Christians are a more important voting block. Just a significant one thaqt actually makes up a substantial part of the Republican base. He's just fighting fire with fire.
I'm sure there are groups out there like Atheists for Obama etc... so contribute on. Or stay at home and not vote, since McCain is definitely going after Christian votes. posted 06/10/2008 at 11:21:25

Why We Need Another Recount
Zax:
Who is in power doesn't change whether or not the nation is a democracy or republic.
A democracy = one person one vote.
A republic = a representative form of government.
We live the the Republic of the United States of America.
I support the concept of vigilant citizenry as you mention it. As far as fascism goes blind support or belief, including the demonization of a people or concept is at the core of fascism. Blame game scapegoating is a root of fascism. Bush is no demagogue, I mean really, have you heard him speak? So he's no Mussolini or Hitler, he creates no frenzy of chanting amongst crowds that gather to hear him.
So the idea that we are in a fascistic Republic, well thats really not the case. posted 06/10/2008 at 11:11:42

Marxist = socialism. Not everything Marx said was bad so tts not a swift-boat tactic to say the least. I will probably vote for Obama despite his questionable fiscal policies, because I support his promise for change. The fact is, everything that happens must get paid for. The idea of taking from the rich to give to the poor is a great theory if you are Robin Hood.
Free Healthcare = not free, it has to get paid for by somebody... government involvement means more bureaucracy.
Tax oil companies... I hate high priced fuel, but lets be smart, how is raising taxes on oil companies goionog to drop the price of fuel? They just rais the price at the pump. Businesses always pass the taxes on to the consumers. Always have.
Taxing corporations will also not bring jobs back. You can't bring them back, why? The buying power you mentioned. Look at Wal Mart... people shop there because they can get stuff cheap. That stuff comes from China.
Higher taxes mean less buying power which means more reliance on government cheese, thats the dark side of socialism.
Racism? Well you only have to look to Clinton... they've done more racial politicking this election than anyone. Republicans? Lincoln...Abolition, NAACP, Womens Suffrage... Republicans have put blacks in more high ranking government positions than the Democrats ever have. Two Secretaries of State and a Supreme Court judge, they haven't done bad with Hispanics either. posted 06/10/2008 at 10:42:53

julianne,
First of all, we live in a republic, a representative form of government, not a democracy. Individual votes have never counted on a national level.
Second... "incorruptability of the election process..." I'm sorry, but there has always been election fraud. In Chicago, a Democratic Party bastion, the old saying has been "Vote early and vote often." To think that the Republicans undermined the political process out of some inherent evil well that is fascist.
Third... Fascism see above. I hate to tell you but plenty of free thinking Americans don't belong to a party. These people sometimes vote republican sometimes democrat. When you label a whole group as evil, well that is a fascist tactic. Replace the word Republican with the word Jew, and you start to sound like a Nazi.
I AGREE: There are only disinterested parties in Washington. Divide and conquer. The two political parties have done a great job polarizing the left and right and divided the country into constituencies that fail to work together. While theytalk of controlling congress etc. They really only care about their own seat. There is now real politics of change in Washington. Unfortunately it will take bringing a bright light like Obama into office and another eight years of government erosion to show it really doesn't matter who is president.
At least the left won't have anyone to blame it on. Unfortunately the right (which I find equally disturbing) will.

Clinton did not congratulate Obama, nor concede the election, despite the fact Obama has won on the vote count.
That is devisive. Hillary is a strong intelligent woman. But the argument that some will always "bitch and moan" speaks more to the idea that you somehow think Clinton was cheated out of this election.
She lost fair and square, and is definitely acting bitter about it. Historically speaking she should not only have congratulated him yesterday, beyond a little compliment, she should be jumping up and down about it, uniting behind Obama, uniting the party and giving a farewell speech urging the party to unite behind the candidate who won...Obama. Thats how general elections are won, a solid concession speech by the loser using the word "WE" alot.

In all actuality Obama has plenty of experience. He may be a freshman US Senator, but he has been an elected official for a lot longer than Hillary, and has about as much "experience" as Bill had by his first presidential run.
He has also proven he can select experienced and intelligent people of action to surround him, otherwise he wouldn't have won the election.
The fact is this primary was Hillary Clinton's to lose, and she made a fair amount of poor choices that cost her the election. posted 06/04/2008 at 14:58:18

I enjoyed reading your post. But knowing Clinton's character from the beginning should have clued you in on her reaction a long time ago. We are often blinded to the flaws of the people we admire, so now realizing the Clinton is a selfish power-monger concerned only with furthering her own agenda must certainly come as a shock.
I wouldn't be suprised if she sabotages the Obama campaign just to say I told you so.
As far as VP Hillary Clinton? If I were Obama, I would say no way, especially after some of the accusations. I would go so far to say as if he does select her for Veep, I will vote for McCain. No Clinton limelight.
It would be great if he were to select another woman for Veep, just to silence Clinton's unfounded arguments of sexism. posted 06/04/2008 at 14:50:24

practical magic,
I'm saddened by your emotional connection to rhetoric. It sounds like you are talking about experience as if Clinton had any experience. She has less experience in an official governing capacity than any of the candidates or last four presidents.
If you are planning to vote for Clinton, you are the one who needs to stop voting with your heart, and use your head.... posted 04/01/2008 at 18:10:05

Rog, that is about the most unintelligent "cute puppy" crap I've witnessed as a view of government. We're all just flawed humans! The government we deserve???? Guess what... not one of the candidates in the "final four" are really the best person for the job. Fact is humans are flawed and we will always buy into a certain amount of B.S.
Rather than ho-hum about dying flowers and human frailty, you should wake up from this dream of acceptance and realize its about choice.
By the way we live in a democratic republic, not a democracy. Democracy = one person, one vote. We live with a government where we elect officials to make our decisions (a republic) elected (in some cases) by majority rule. posted 04/01/2008 at 18:06:13

Bill Maher's Hillary Clinton Monologue: "Get Elected Or Lie Trying"
now thats good funny posted 04/01/2008 at 17:49:20
I agree with you Voodoo, but sad to say, the Huffpost lacks intelligent dialog altogether.... well, for the most part. Its just more of place to come and whine about the way things are rather than discuss the way things could be and how we can get there... Sadly, I guess thats the way progressives think posted 04/01/2008 at 17:39:21

Hate to tell you but um mistaking something like money from a dead president is a little different than saying you were getting shot at in a war zone when you really weren't. This wasn't a misrepresentation, this was an out and out lie to garner votes... posted 04/01/2008 at 17:36:38

Hillary And Bill: We Aren't Going Anywhere
Frustrated she went beyond the pale back in the Nixon years and has proven she'd do anything ever since...
Hillary was fired from the House Judiciary Committee staff investigating the Nixon Watergate scandal for lying and ethics:
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Zeifman fired her:
"Because she was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview last week. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality."

When Did "Immigrant" Become a Dirty Word?
marignymitch - first learn how to spell, its martial law. Second, Bush will be out of office before the prison is built, so so much for that idea, as well as the invasion of Iran thing... gimme a break.
cynara... "paying a private for-profit corporation to lock up Mexican grandmothers." I'm sure thats who they will be going after, its not like old ladies are the exception to the rule... Its not like they want to lock up members of Mara Salvatrucha for human trafficking, drugs and hate crimes against blacks... Yeah most are illegal aliens, but that doesn't make immigration a dirty word, not as dirty as say citizen. posted 03/25/2008 at 17:34:51

4,000 Dead -- Fox News Empowering War And Making Us Dumber (Murdoch and His Vengeful Fools)
4,000 dead is a sad number anyway you look at it. But the alarmism assoicated with it is off-base. Over the same period, more people have died from accidents related to driving while talking on a cell phone... 2,600 people per year for last five years comes out to be over 11,000. http://www.livescience.com/technology/050201_cell_danger.html posted 03/25/2008 at 11:25:50
