[Rhodes22-list] The end of the Rove era -- Political

Tue Nov 4 14:59:36 EST 2008

   Ahhhh, pardon me, so you were talking about someone else's bullshit?
   Glad you cleared that up.
   Speaking of soapbox's and everything not being about you.
   Go back and reread the post that seemed to upset you so. As I said, I
   labeled you nothing, but while we're on the subject:
   Everyone labels everyone, all the time. It's only the small minded
   that seem to object. You label me constantly, wether you voice it or
   not.
   I'd say, even though I didn't name you by name, left-leaning liberal
   is a pretty apt description of you and your views, from what I've seen
   here. It's not an insult, nor is it meant to be. I'm a far-right
   conservative (on most issues), and don't mind being called that.
   Are you holding on to some non-liberal views in which I've misread
   you?
   If not, clean up your pen, the odor is getting stronger.

Herb,

Get off your soap box long enough and settle down. Not everything that's
posted on this list is directed at you. You aren't that important. There are
other people that have open discussions on this list.

Glad  your sense of smell is working Rummy. Clean up your own area, and I
think  you'll find the smell improves a little.

In other words, don't dish it  out if you can't take it.

 Herb,

Twist words anyway you want, but bullshit still  stinks like bullshit. I
think you missed your calling in  life.  You should have been a  politician.

Really?  I labeled you something? I'm rereading  my own message, and I
don't think I  labeled you  anything.

I DID say what I would do where I left leaning   liberal, but I didn't say
you were.

Getting a little  touchy there,  aren't you Rummy?

 Herb,
 Once again you label someone without knowing anything  about them. If

someone

even says anything that you find contrary to  your beliefs,  you label

them

a

liberal. I am sorry that you walk  through life  with blinders on. There

is

a

whole world out  there to  experience.
Now that today is the election day, I  for one would hope  that the

 political

chit chat would slow down a  bit, but that's  just wishful thinking.  If

Obama

wins, the right  wing  republicans will stop at nothing to bash him for

the

next four  years. If McCain wins it will be four more years  of bashing

him.

As I

see it, nobody is going to win. Same crap,  different day and non of  it

 amounts

 to anything  anyway.

I don't  blame you a bit. If I were a  left-wing  liberal, I'd want the
same thing.  Being of  the opposite  persuasion, I'm hoping she's around a
while to  bring  some real  change.

 Herb,

I'm not a gambling person and I don't much care   for  politics or

politicians.

My  hope is that Palin will  disappear  into the sunset just like  Dan

Quale

 did.

  Rob,

Do you not  see how self-conflicting  your  statements are?  McCain is

left

of  the  middle. If he  "lurches" right, he moves TOWARDS the  middle,

not

 away.

I don't place many bets that are not sure things,   but   here's one I

will.

$100 says  that Palin  successfully  runs for national  public office,
 maintaining a conservative  right  agenda.

Wanna  put  our money where  your mouth   is?

  Dave,
Thanks for the  story.  I certainly  agree with  it.  I  do think

McCain's

lurch towards the   right hurt  him.  We'll have  to await the final

 results

 to see if it's true or  not.  I do   agree his pick of Palin may have

 cost

McCain the  election  by  alienating the middle.  I  recall after   the
convention he floated  the name of Tom  Ridge  as  his running mate, but

the

base  recoiled due  to  Ridge  being pro life.  Tom Ridge may  have

helped

 him win   Pennsylvania, which  is so critical to McCain's  chances.

So

 McCain was stuck trying to pick  a running  mate that  appealed to the
 base, which   was Palin.  Problem was it  drove the middle away.

With

Palin's approval ratings  in the teens and  her  disapproval ratings

over

50%, it's   certainly not  helping McCain.  If you have the CNN   story,

I'll

read it. -    rob

I  think this in  an interesting  piece which  reinforces what  I've been
saying  about  the importance of the  middle of  the political

spectrum.

A  similar article on CNN.com over the  weekend   about how Sarah  Palin
may have cost McCain  and herself the   election by  alienating the

middle

 - I can send  that link if  anyone wants    it.
