He ended up speaking a bit about how we need to get people on small drug charges out of our prisons and instead fine them, and then send them to drug rehab centers paid for by that fine money. Sounded like a good idea to me.

Won't do me any good. Part of the reason he came to Oklahoma is to try and shore up support for OBAR (Oklahomans for Ballot Access Reform). Basically we have the strictest ballot access laws in the nation, strict enough that candidates need something like 60,000 signatures to get on the ballot, and you can't do write ins. He essentially can't get that kind of support.

So does that mean G.W.Bush = a pig?
I think the Palin = Bush is pretty accurate . . . both are inexperienced governors from red-states, both have failed businesses, both are charismatic & folksy, both are fundamentalist Christians, both value loyalty over competency, both are secretive, both make decisions from 'gut', etc.
And I like these activist ladies . .. particularly the one on the right.

Show one post. Show one fucking post where I said the left wing boogeyman was out for Palin.Steve Youngblood said:
I said, clearly that some of the initial stories that hit about her were stupid, inaccurate i believe some rubbed independents in the wrong way. i never said there was a left-wing media bias.
I said there was a legit argument to believe that Independents think Palin had shit thrown around about her. This idea that everyone uses the internet when it's useful for your angle, especially when it involves independents, who tend to be middle-aged and computer savy is ridicoulous. Barack obama became an internet sensation thanks to speeches being put online. Debate talking points were intensified due to blogs and youtube, and until this point the internet has been a large factor.
but that completely changes when it comes to negative about Palin? Now it's a niche?

Some pages back I remember reading about inaccurate polling methodology in several key states that actually favors McCain... anyone know what I'm talking about?
Having trouble finding it.

I voted for Nader last election, and I would have voted for him in 2000 if I had voted. I really liked Camello, his running mate. But Nader is just noise this election. A complete waste of time. Obama encompasses much of his movement now with more style. Let's be honest, Nader wasn't gonna win shit anyway, so I'm actually putting my vote behind Obama this time. Douchebag beats turd sandwich this go-round. PEACE.ZealousD said:

that's a stupid plan. I shouldn't have to go to rehab if I don't want to. Also, I don't think drugs should be illegal and get fined. So, ya.

It seems to basically took in a lot of the Bush people and told them "Do whatever it take to win!" Maverick status went into negative territory. :-(
I don't think I'd ever vote for the guy, but I used to respect him. Respect be gone.

I have an idea for that image but I'm not at home yet to extract my craziness on it.
I do think it's funny how Colorado, Virginia, South Dakota and Wyoming are weighed equally.

I am always amazed at how many black faces the RNC manages to dig up to disrespect their race on these cable networks. Seriously...the number of black repubs being shown to us is disproportionately large compared to the actual number in the voting block. Is this supposed to fool anyone? PEACE.

DailyKos is not a news site. It is a political community. Look . . . even Google News doesn't use it. If you type in dailykos into google news, you get news stories on kos but no kos itself.

So, you're argument is that independants are going to be following left wing blog sites, not accept them for what they are (partisan news), and think that the media as a whole is being unfair towards Palin?avatar299 said:
To me, this argument is the same as me saying "God, that Sean Hannity is such a tool. the stuff he was saying about Obama is completely uncalled for. I don't like the way "the media" is treating him."
If I come across as antagonistic, I apologize. I just honestly think you're being intentionally aloof here.

That electoral college image up at the top is all kinds of wtf
Seriously. I have never met a black republican in my life and if I did, they were ashamed to admit it.Pimpwerx said:
Actually reminds me of a old roommate who was white and didn't want me to tell anyone he was part of the college Republicans. I guess around here Republican is a bad word.
Wow, that takes a big swing from the current projections.HylianTom said:fivethirtyeight is using the Drudge siren in its latest posting, announcing that Obama is projected to be back in the electoral lead. Cute.
(more data coming soon)

Yeah, a great deal of US political reporting USED to be pretty good about screening bullshit and not parroting the candidates' or their surrogates' scripts. Now, the most honest US reporting tends to come from political comedy shows and fact-checking organizations. Thankfully, it seems that the media will not completely revert to the cocksucking inanity that typifies the Bush-era political coverage (one that is PROVEN to have mostly Republican and Bush administration propaganda and viewpoints that call all others un-American/unpatriotic). Still, most US media has a ways to go to return to some semblance of the kind of journalistic integrity that was mostly divorced from the 'reality' show and American Idol-like contest mentality that we have now.DSWii60 said:
It truly hurts that this generation of kids (as old as 26) never really knew a world without the baldly propagandist, and borderline racist & bigoted shit-speak that dominates the late 90s to today. There's the near-complete infestation of right-wing hate/news radio that completely distorts what many of this new generation see as the unbiased truth...they think the right is actually the center?!?!. When I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s, political discourse was FAR better and more issues-based than the crap that passes for substance these days. Sure, it was still happy to practically celebrate the age-old tradition of bullshit in politics taken at face value, but it was far more centered and, most importantly, critical in thought and not just verbal communication...which is what you get from Fox News and many of the more right-leaning outlets.
Price Dalton said:
The issue is that polls poll an equal number of republicans and democrats, even though there aren't an equal number of registered voters. There are far more registered republicans. So all that polling data is useless and inaccurately skewed right.

im surprised you had not seen it before, was pretty big news in the UK and Ireland since Bush and his people were furious and actually made a complaint to the Irish Embassy :lol
and yeh I agree he did surprisingly well

Yay title change
:lol You seriously don't see the irony here. The constant bitching about the quality of our media, and i'm behind all of that and you don't see a connection.Steve Youngblood said:
Do all independents think that, no and I never said they did, or at least i didn't try to make that statement. Independents are independent for a reason, and while some may believe she has been handled with kid gloves and others believe she has been treated the same as anyone else, there may be others who think the initial attacks against her were either to personal, completely irrelevant or just stupid, and that reflected bad on the media they read(blogs),watch(t.v), or hear(radio).
