drat, "hypocrite" really is the worst critisism our society can muster, isn't it. The Last Psychiatrist posted:In the age of authenticity and identity an easy way is for the media to "expose" people, e.g. show that what the candidate believes and what he says are different, i.e. that at best they "just say stuff to get elected" and at worst they are hypocritical ideologues, but this way of thinking is a media template, this is not how individual psychology works, not today. Do you think that when everyone in Congress voted to invade Iraq, they were saying to themselves, "I really think this is a bad idea, but the stupid rednecks in my zipcode all want it, and I want to get re-elected, but I feel a little guilty for doing it"? WRONG. Each of them created an explanation for why voting for war was right. NO GUILT. Some truly wanted it, sure; others... figured out how to want it. The important thing is to stay true to yourself. Rest of the post here and it's great and also goes over the leaked Romney 47% video in an interesting way, among other things.

I don't get it. Is there one particular thing that "hypocrisy" is meant to point out or is it just the word, "Hypocrisy" standing alone, in reference to everything. I'm pretty sure it's the later but, that's really dumb.

Candidate tracker 6/13 We all know about the Hillary announcement rally. Here is the full speech. Pretty good group of photos of who and what was happening. I wish I could find attendance numbers for this. [url= Click here to visit SA]Meanwhile in Marshalltown, IA. Everyone went to see Bernie.[/url] FEEL THE BERN # He was in Des Moines, Marshalltown, and Cedar Rapids. Did Rand Paul Really Eat at In-N-Out? Tacos in Photo . Who knows. He did eat and speak at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner. Tickets to the event were only $250. Bobby Jindal was in Charleston, SC for some prayers. I think this is his interview on tomorrows Meet the Press put up early on accident.. Mike Huckabee stopped in South Carolina today and yesterday. He visited Rock Hill, Spartanburg, Moore, Gaffney, Indian Land and one of those is in Lancaster County.

messagemode1 posted:I think a lot of it is about her Wall St donor pool as the Republicans are criticized for being puppets of their billionaire benefactors. I think it's more that the GOP's role as puppets is a far more detrimental series of actions than Hillary's role as puppet. There's a lot to argue about when asking whether the wealth-concentrating effect of huge banks on wall street writing their pet legislation is more harmful than huge carbon polluters and christers doing the same but the polluters and bigots are far more visible and more crystallized. New York versus Kansas, for example.

It took a little while to puzzle out "turnouts" and "grassroots" but this isn't that hard to read. Still pretty dumb, though. Most people probably won't try.

V. Illych L. posted:I imagine Hillary would probably want to boost Rubio as much as possible, force the Republicans to spend money in the primaries rather than just letting Bush cruise to victory like she is with the Democrats. Having the Republicans do her opposition research for her also seems like a good idea It seems Bush is doing a fine job of stopping Bush cruising to victory. And Rubio actually polls significantly better against Clinton that Jeb does.

If you assume people who were taught cursive are able to read some of it, then probably not as many as you'd think. There is a recurring meme about teachers lying about cursive being useful, however.

There is a recurring meme about teachers lying about cursive being useful, however. I'm happy I know cursive because I can sign my name quickly and there's rare occasions I need to read it, but it's mostly a useless skill. Secretary's short hand probably has more practical applications.

The constitution: quote:The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators. ... quote:Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States, shall be appointed an elector.
