primary voting strategy article
July 23, 2007 - 09:59 ET by sarcasmoHere's a primary voting strategy article for conservatives I like, even though I could have never written it!
JMR
Not a good strategy
July 23, 2007 - 10:07 ET by dagdaIf you vote for Ron Paul and Ron Paul wins then it is Paul against Hillary. Then I have a real problem. Which of two evils do I vote for. Or who do I vote against.
This is a really bad strategy. You vote for who you want in the primary and let the voters decide who is going to going to compete in the general.
A better strategy would be to cross party lines and vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Al Sharpton. If all Republicans changed their registration to Democratic and voted in the Democratic primary they could pick a very beatable candidate. This would drive the Democrats nuts.
Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow. Dwight Eisenhower
How's this guy "evil" again?
July 23, 2007 - 10:16 ET by sarcasmoHow's this guy "evil" again? I am sure you and others here dislike the strategy, but I think it's the only possible win for Republicans, and I find the arguments amusing because I've been "against" them for so-long in other contexts. Anyway, this election is turning out WAY more amusing than I'd ever imagined, and I'm excited about tomorrow.
JMR
Word choice, sarc
July 23, 2007 - 10:21 ET by dagdaRon Paul does not represent my best interests. Almost all the Republican candidates represent them better than he does. Evil might have been too strong a point but it is a common phrase. I do see that you were not concerned that Hillary was "evil" so you must be trying to protect your candidate, sarc. If I have hurt your feelings it was unintentional.

I do not support Hillary, so
July 23, 2007 - 10:41 ET by sarcasmoI do not support Hillary, so she's not my concern. Heaven forbid trying to protect "my" candidate from a totally unsupported charge of "evil," but maybe that's just my right?! What if I said Rudy was "evil"? (One would think the lightning in the debate would have been a little hint, but who listens to the obvious these days??) Would people here just accept that, unquestioningly?? I sincerely doubt it. How 'bout we turn over this new leaf, and treat all Republican candidates equally on a site that's ostensibly dedicated to fighting bias? I know it's a revolutionary idea, but I'm sorta used to those...

How does one make decisions
July 23, 2007 - 11:21 ET by BruzillaHow does one make decisions based on what is success or failure during combat? Did you know that the phrase the "attack on Pearl Harbor" didn't come into wide use until after the war? From Dec. 1941 until late 1946 the date was usually referred to as the "defeat at Pearl Harbor". How many times did we have a lack of success on Guadalcanal? How about after the Germans came through Belgium in 1944? How about when the North Koreans almost pushed us out of South Korea? All of these were examples of "defeat", as would be described by Liberals and guys like the writer of that article today, that ended up turning into great victories. In short, the game isn't won or lost in the 7th inning... it's won in the 9th.
When I read articles that start out with disagreement about the war, and then go on to discuss things like "no WMDs", "no links to terrorists", etc., I know that these folks don't know anything more about why we went into Iraq besides what they got from the MSM... so I choose to ignore them.
WRT to going into Iraq,
July 23, 2007 - 11:16 ET by MightyMouthWRT going into Iraq, Paul wanted legislation for delcaration of war. It of course never happend. Had such a declaration been voted on, he would have most certainly voted against war. And has he now become a cut and runner?
"There are two types of people in this country; those who provide freedom and those who enjoy it." MM says...
(oops, that last comment
July 23, 2007 - 15:50 ET by sarcasmo(oops, that last comment ended up in the wrong place!) Anyway, why do people assume that declaring a war is not possible? A delay may have allowed other, cheaper means to dispose of Saddam, for all we know (and as far as Saddam being evil, I was against our alliance with him in the '80s for that reason, so it's nothing new to let evil go-on around there, obviously!). Anyway, I'm interested in the foreign policy views of those who say that declaration of war thing is old fashioned, because I disagree. I just think it's Constitutional.

Reactionary vision
July 24, 2007 - 02:43 ET by UnsaneWhat exactly does a war declaration achieve nowadays? Or ever? If you read The Savage Wars Of Peace by Max Boot, you will find MANY conflicts that did not have war declarations attached to them.
I suppose that you are such a reactionary in matters diplomatic that you want the United States diplomatic corps to also engage in bribery?

Strategic assumption
July 23, 2007 - 11:03 ET by KC MulvilleAs politicians say, the game is between the 20's ... according to the polls, 40% will vote Democrat no matter what, 40% will vote Republican no matter what, and the remaining 20% decide the election. Strategically, then, the whole campaign depends on attracting that 20%. If you can argue that appealing to libertarians will make a difference in that 20%, then you have a case. But let's face some uncomfortable truths ... after two full years of campaigning and TV coverage, that 20% can only remain undecided if they weren't paying attention until the last minute. Serious libertarians are usually not so casual and inattentive (and I'm not a libertarian).
Why pull punches? Let's say that the endless campaign cuts the undecided down to 10%. We're still over a year from election day, and we already know everything about these candidates. If you're still undecided by election day, I'd bet that you're going to cast your vote based on your last minute mood-swing. (That's why Mark Foley was so damaging in 2006, and why Rahm Emanuel didn't break that scandal until people were forming their last-minute mood swings.) Strategies about party primaries will mean nothing.
I don't think that
July 23, 2007 - 11:29 ET by BruzillaI don't think that assumption is going to work in 2008, and for the following reasons:
1. This will be the first time that a woman and a black (and maybe both) will be on a ticket. While there has been a lot of "you've come a long way baby!" progress by both women and blacks over the years, there are still a lot of people who will not vote for either to be President. Factor in that many of these fall into the middle class working/union member crowd, and I think this prejudice hits hard at Democrats.
2. Hillary has as many haters as fans, so assuming she's the nominee, there are a lot of people who will vote against her rather than for a Republican.
3. There is a bias on the part of blacks against other blacks who are perceived to be "better than everyone else", so being a black candidate can have its setbacks with a lot of black voters.
Based on the ways that Democrats are blowing what little political capital they had, I think we're in for a McGovern II butt kicking.
If Hillary is Nominated/Loses, she will go away
July 23, 2007 - 13:32 ET by JayTeeIf hillary wins the nomination, A BIG IF, and she loses the Election, then she will be done......A Senator all her life. I think the Democratic Convention will be the MOST interesting Spectacle that has been around for Awhile.
I will only be able to watch it with the sound off most of the Time.....instead of channel Surfing.....I will be Mute Surfing.....the only way to make a Democrat Shut up.
The Iraq War news may make their nominee a Loser..........Hey DEMs, Don't let your Nominee turn into a Harry Reid or a Nancy Pelosi....a Loser and a Do Nothing.

Saddam and al Qaeda updates
July 23, 2007 - 10:54 ET by regimeofterrorI know most people on here think the media hasn't given the full story on Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al Qaeda. They are right.
I just finished posting a list members of Saddam's regime who have been caught working with al Qaeda since 2002 (yes, prior to invasion). The list is up here:

July 23, 2007 - 11:04 ET by BruzillaHere's the problem that I have. Most of the names of that list are described as "known to be...", "associated with...", etc. I think the process of tying Iraqis to terrorist groups has become like the Salem Witch trials, by that I mean anyone can make an allegation against anyone else, and since the terrorists aren't confirming or denying these stories, who's to say if they are right or not?
We had to take out Iraq because Hussein was dead set on taking over the Middle East and unifying it into one state under his control, and we could not allow that to happen. All of the rest of the soundbite reasoning (WMDs, terrorist links, death squads, etc.) is just something to tell the folks who can't see the big picture.

Well, Neal Boortz has managed to once again cheese off the C.A.I.R. crowd. It appears they have taken exception to Neal's referring to their peaceful little religion as a cult.

You can read Neal's comments on the matter here. You will also find his take on the Michael Vick situation, if you're interested.

shawn, Beats the hell out
July 23, 2007 - 11:37 ET by Dave Rshawn,
Beats the hell out of me. This has been covered wall to wall around here since the story broke. You can't get away from it. The rumors that have been flying have been pretty bizarre, too.
I have no clue why he (allegedly) did this, given the kind of money he was making. Of course, it could very well have been one of those "family tradition" type things. Who knows?
I think Michael's biggest problem, aside from the federal charges, is the fact that he (apparently) lied to the faces of the new NFL commissioner, as well as to the Falcon's owner, Arthur Blank. That isn't going to sit well with either of them, especially if he is ultimately found guilty in all this.
Another problem for Michael is the fact that the jury pool will be coming from SC, near the area were he's from. From what I hear, those people take a very dim view of this sort of thing. That will also be true if the local authorities charge him as well, which appears likely.
I'm just glad I'm not Arthur Blank right now. He bet the fanchise on Michael Vick, essentially recruiting him himself. $130 mil is a lot of money. However, if Michael is allowed to play, the hullabaloo around him is going to be very distracting to the rest of the team, especially with a new head coach coming in, who will be introducing a whole new system and all. So, what do you do?
I'm glad I'm not the one having to make that call.
Help Fred defeat everybody.

July 23, 2007 - 11:45 ET by shawn228I'm glad I'm not the one having to make that call.
Dave,
Could not agree with you more. As much as owners talk about principals, it all boils down to $$$. I live in Northern Cali and it seems Giants fans could care less if Barry Bonds took steroids or not. That is the reason the Giants signed him on this season. The Giants front office knows they cannot sell out AT&T park without him.
Michael Vick could be a different story though. I can see fans not going to games out of protest.
shawn, My gut tells me
July 23, 2007 - 11:58 ET by Dave Rshawn,
My gut tells me Michael Vick's carreer may very well be over. I just don't see him coming back from this, unless he somehow beats the federal charges. The local media around here, which is usually pretty accurate in these matters, is saying the feds have people standing in line who are going to testify against him, so for the moment, it looks pretty bad.
And if the local authorities in SC go after him, where even owning the property on which dog fighting takes place is a felony, not to mention just being involved in it, then I'd say he is essentially toast. Burnt toast, to be exact.
Plus, the fans around here have been getting a little tired of Michael Vick. The Falcons have missed the playoffs two years running. Fans here aren't like fans in Green Bay or Denver, where they sell out no matter what. I bought four season tickets for the '99 season and was the loneliest guy in the section after the third game. I couldn't even give tickets away.
Help Fred defeat everybody.
Dave, Its a real shame.
July 23, 2007 - 12:06 ET by shawn228Dave,
Its a real shame. Even though the Falcons did not do too well the last few years, I have been a football fan for a very long time and I have never seen a quarterback more exciting than Vick. No quarterback even compares"running wise" Not Steve Young, Steve Mcnair or even Donovan Mcnabb.
The man was faster than 3/4's of the wide receivers in the league. It would be interesting to see if he could outrun a pack of pitbulls after a 10 second start:)
shawn,
July 23, 2007 - 12:31 ET by Dave RIt would be interesting to see if he could outrun a pack of pitbulls after a 10 second start:
LOL-funny you sould mention that, given the cartoon somebody sent Neal today.
Arthur Blank has always impressed me as a stand-up guy. In the end, I think Mr. Blank will do what is right for the team as a whole. Regardless of the big bucks involved, there are a lot more people involved than just Michael Vick. There are also the new coaches coming in, the other players as well as the fans.
If I were the owner, I would have to consider all of them.
Help Fred defeat everybody.
Michael Vick
July 23, 2007 - 12:49 ET by shawn228Unfortunately I do not think there will be another running quarterback that will match his excitement for many years to come

George Plimpton greatest qb ever
July 23, 2007 - 17:51 ET by Carl KolchakShawn, you've obviously never seen highlights of George Plimpton playing qb. If he isn't the greatest qb of all time, then I don't know who is. I'm sure he could take a hit from Mean Joe Greene and act like it was nothing. Not even Deacon Jones could stop someone like George Plimpton.

July 23, 2007 - 18:35 ET by shawn228Hello Carl,
I never heard of George Plimpton. Lol not sure if you are being saracastic or not because I just googled him and on wikipedia they said he was mainly a backup quarterback. There are many quarterbacks that are much more talented than Michael Vick, ie Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and even at his age Brett Favre. Not many quarterbacks as exciting to watch as Vick though.

George Plimpton
July 23, 2007 - 18:39 ET by dagdaPlimpton, who weighed 130 lbs soaking wet, went to the summer camp for the Detriot Lions to write an article on training camp experiences. He actually got in for one or two plays and was creamed. His article and the movie made from it is called Paper Lion.

July 23, 2007 - 18:43 ET by Carl KolchakYeah Plimpton was like a PBS type of dude who tried out for the Lions and was like a third string qb. There was a movie called "Paper Lion" with Alan Alda about it as well. Plimpton also tried out for baseball or wanted to pitch batting practice in an all-star game or something like that. He seemed like a pretty cool person, but I really don't know too much about him.

As long as the Bidwills (sp?) own the Cardinals, they will suck. My old man was a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan, but once they started whining for a new stadium, he turned his back on them. Most of what he had to say cannot be transcribed here.

July 23, 2007 - 16:40 ET by Dave RActually, Hillary said something similar to the same crowd, but is was far milder, as in no "promises" were made.
I noted over at HA that the national media most likely will not report this, in part, due to the fact that many blacks do not support amnesty, either. After all, many of them have lost their jobs to these illegals.

Equal Treatment Under The Law?
July 23, 2007 - 20:15 ET by stratmanI would think a large percentage of legally immigrated people will take umbrage at this blatent circumvention of law.

July 24, 2007 - 02:55 ET by UnsaneWhy couldn't those three "nations" be run under a confederation, or a federal state?

They can, with a huge,
July 24, 2007 - 08:50 ET by sarcasmoThey can, with a huge, expensive Saddam/Tito style brutal central government. But they can't any other way, apparently... Why can't repeated attempts at genocide by not just Saddam but the Turks and to a lesser extent the Iranians as well, justify at least a separate state for Kurdistan?

News media: Scoreboard for terrorists
I don't know if anybody
July 23, 2007 - 18:11 ET by bigtimerI don't know if anybody heard the Fearless Leader Reid say about Feingold's dream to have President Bush impeached/censured with this bill he wants to bring to the floor in the Senate..
Reid said, the American people already know this President is the worst Pres. in our history....
In other words, he is not going to bring it up because we already know this out here so NO need to bring up a bill that I know will be defeated....
LOL!
These leftist crazy critters are digging their own holes, soon they will have wished they had stopped digging...after they bury themselves.
Fools.
Has anyone else noticed
July 23, 2007 - 18:20 ET by Chris NormanHas anyone else noticed that the writing for The Half Hour News Hour, on FoxNews, has gotten somewhat better? Their sketches still fall a little flat (bad timing) but the news item jokes are sharper. I liked the one about the upcoming Democrat's debate on "gay issues" - it'll be done in the format of a musical.

I like the show and look forward to it on Sunday evening.
BT,Some of their "news
July 23, 2007 - 18:47 ET by Chris NormanBT,
Some of their "news items" are as funny as some of the ones on the old SNL Weekend Update. I laughed at the one regarding Giuliani's version of the Contract with America - they called it his "Pre-nupt with America"...

Sarah Palin Fact of the Day
July 23, 2007 - 18:23 ET by Free StinkerSarah Palin can make any announcement exciting. Even the announcement of a new State Quarter.

I just like seeing HONEST
July 23, 2007 - 18:45 ET by Free StinkerI just like seeing HONEST Republicans unseating questionable Incumbant Republicans.
All we have in Jersey are RINOs
Same here
July 23, 2007 - 18:50 ET by dagdaRight now we have the same problem in Arizona. We used to have one RINO and one Republican. But after they both joined Amnesty International, we have two, count them two RINOs.

On Gov. Palin
July 24, 2007 - 02:59 ET by UnsaneIndeed, what Sarah Palin accomplished in AK should be a lesson to the entire Republican party, and indeed, to the voters. Yes, you CAN toss an incumbent in a primary and hold the seat.

Just wanted to post this
July 24, 2007 - 01:56 ET by bigtimerJust wanted to post this about La Raza and a few of the candidates on the left side of the aisle who never had this brought up on tonight's debate...
Pathetic this was not brought up in depth to each candidate....
Oooooops we do not want to go there if it is a leftist network now do we...bet Lou Dobbs is happy ....lol.
Might be important to 99% of the American people...you know the legal citizens of this country.
bt-that's quite the puff
July 24, 2007 - 02:36 ET by mastersofdeceitbt-that's quite the puff piece. I agree, the media should be asking hillary about the involvement in her campaign of LA mayor Antonio (another can't keep it in his pants dem) and Fabian Nunez (protector of child predators in Calif).
