Oh, the bitterness! From: Dale Baker Read Replies (1) 62241of 62374 I will be gleeful and amazed if the fall campaign is actually waged on policy proposals and real issues. From the perspective of today, I don't see much hope. The TURD throwing will be raised to major league pitching speeds, and the game will begin yet again. I was overseas all of 2000 and most of the spring and fall campaigns in 2004; I realized today how unplugged I was from the 24/7 waste water treatment festival that our "political scene" becomes in election years. No wonder we end up with failed minority presidents who can hardly pass the time of day in Congress, much less needed reforms. It's exactly what we all get most excited about and clamor for more and more. So the campaign gurus get into the cow patty business and make millions. While the electorate is left to eat st and live with the results. Message 24541520 From: Dale Baker Read Replies (1) 62274of 62376 And if it's about TURD throwing does it mean the winner is likely the one who's most Full Of St ?!! The winner will likely be the last shithouse rat standing, the one who is best at manipulating and tossing it around. And then - WHAT A SHOCK! - we'll find out that politician really isn't very nice or very ethical all the time, and will often do or say anything to promote themselves and tear down their opponents. Of course we had NO IDEA that such a wonderful, ordinary, common-man kind of pol could ever turn out like THAT. What a freak show. Message 24541954 From: Dale Baker Read Replies (1) 62311of 62377 Dionne gets it exactly right. As the election gets smaller and focuses on ridiculous trivia instead of hugely important issues, it also descends lower and lower. May the best TURD thrower win now. We can be so proud of what we will accomplish. Message 24542911 To a "centrist" a candidate's Character, Wisdom and Judgment are ridiculous trivia. Why such things are "turds" that everyone should ignore. What counts is a candidate's "position on the issues". Never mind, that the candidate's "positions" on the "issues" are nothing but poll-driven pandering that his campaign personnel quietly assures those interested he doesn't really mean.
