Ärende: politics....
====================
 
-> Since when did you all care about character, you brought us the Clinton,
did
-> you not?

I did? I guess I did. He did well. He was flawed and had pernicious
attackers. 
-> 
->  JO> ->  RS> Is Edwards still running for president?
->  JO> ->  RS> Is he running for ANYTHING?
->  JO> ->
->  JO> -> Up til last week he was considered to be a possible VP or Atty
Gen.
-> 
->  JO> He STILL might get Atty Gen. H'd be good.
-> 
-> I doubt he will get named Head Dog Catcher now.

Perhaps yer right :-)
-> 
->  JO> -> I am not concerned about 30 yrs ago.. If it happened oh lets say
2
->  JO> years ago, I -> would.
-> 
->  JO> Whew! I SO relived! My killing of those children, raping those
women,
->  JO> and stealing all that money 50 years ago does not change your
totally
->  JO> respectful  attitude towards me? Great!
-> 
-> What would you do if Obama was said to have done the same thing?
I inure my self from all "Was said to have done" and most 'what would you
do' . There's no answer to those...  
-> 
->  JO> Actually: This country has so many important matters to resolve
that
->  JO> transcend matters pertaining to sex...doting on distractions...gets
->  JO> ratings and sells papers...so onward with the personal attacks! The
->  JO> only thing we have to fear is a mud shortage. :-)
-> 
-> Oh I know, this political mudslinging is so new..

Yeah :-)I am again and again amused/shocked every time I run across an
article that contains the amazing things said about those I was taught to
revere in grammer school :-)  
-> 
...the more
-> famous you are the more attention your deeds get...

Few are not flawed. 

 But if you want to get
-> perfect strangers, ie majority of the electorate, to vote for you, then
you
-> have to convince them to...

Accept your bottle of whickey...:-)

-> 
-> Sometimes advocating a position on a given topic isnt enough for many
people,
-> some voters, much to your chagrin...

I haven't chagrined since 1965...

, also take the time to look at the person as
-> well.
->
And come up often if not always with a wildly distorted, subjective,
biased, prejuticed, ignorant, terrible, judgment. (Did I mention 'wrong'?
:-)

Bush got a look at Putin's soul. Took him under a minute.
  
-> As soon as the Edwards story broke, you and Sauer immediately began
defending
-> Edwards...

Stop that. I did not, I do not, I will not defend Edwards. Nor McCain.
Until I wear judicial robes, I condemn neither. I think ol' Saul, that guy
from Tarsus got it right: "All have sinned and come short of the glory of
God" You know, the 'throw the first stone... sort of thing...



 by using McCains past, something I havent heard much hay about until
-> then.

Well I have. Lying about his age to his wife, kike about the times after
divorcong his wife he married. (He said 9 months, it wass five weeks. He
took out a marriage licence before the divorce was finall...ya da ya da
All of this will often come out in the campaign...and will have exactly
zilch to do with ANY issue of any importance.   
-> 
-> You blame the media on how it was handled, except you omit the fact that
the
-> mainstreamers didnt really pay much attention to the story that the
tabloid
-> did, until Edwards got in trouble at the hotel.

I do NOT blame the media his is one time The National Enquirer got it
right. 
I never read the National Enquirer, I got the news from the MSM in
spades...I guess a day late. Darn!
-> 
->  JO> any rap McCain took, he took long ago...

Did he? Really. It'll all be regurgitated as will the Keating Five, 
His West Point record, his skill at flying a plane...whereas Obame will be
dealing with Rev. Wright's new book which is aimed at bringing about a
great big fat wonderful extensive discussion about race in the United
States...which will eliminate Obama's chances. You heard it here first.
Cheers!

 
-> Lets assume this story had not broke yet... hypothetically.
-> 
-> This story would have had larger implications had...

Yes yes, that THE reason it IS a story...

> 
-> At least in a presumptive Obama administration, Edwards was holding some
post,
-> like Atty Gen.

It's still a (remote)possibility...
-> 
-> This is what you and Sauer miss..

I really wish you would back the hell off of making presumptive
declarations as to how I would act, who and when I should decry, what I
miss etc., and realize that in damned near every case you are wrong. I'll
be glad to tell you what I think and I do not lie. I'm afraid that I'm not
easily understood. It matter less and less and by the time the actual
voting takes place I am pretty much disenchanted with both.
-> 
-> Lets assume that the story broke later and Edwards went on to not be a
-> component in Obama's endeavours, either not selected as VP or appointed
to a
-> position, or that Obama loses, he goes back to private citizen, this
story
-> would not have the same size footprint.

Of course not. But this is the thing about news: In the order of
importance...report 1)quickly 2) Who is involved 3)What really happened 4)
The precise location...and finally,last of all, it's significance. :-)

(The rampancy of infidelity) 
I'll never know, nor would you.
I read an 'expert' mention the figure 50%...
 
-> I bring this up since it appears that the DEMS have a taste for
hypocrisy as
-> well.
->
They have their fair share.  

-> Get the picture?
You took a long way around to say that the not-noticed are not celebrities
 
> 
-> What Edwards did at best was show that he knows how to cover things up,
those
-> on the left should be doing a collective WHEW...

I like Mrs Edwards. sympathy for her first, them a 'whew' :-|

-> 
-> After all Bush is accused of covering up lotsa shit

A lot of which is coming out...

, with Obama, there is
-> change, hope and "we can"

I do not believe that the problems the United states faces will be
addressed much less solved by the next two presidents.

We should immediately ration gas, enforce a national speed limit, ( A' la W
W  Ii ) Prohibit non-commercial vehicles from driving on Sunday...and pay
attention to T. Boon Pickens. 


->  JO> Attention has been paid. It is now of no great moment and will
quickly
->  JO> pass.  The campaign for President continues, and I am starting to
be a
->  JO> little discouraged concerning Ron Paul's chances...
-> 
-> Vote fer NAder.. LOL

I prefer Steven Colbert to Nader. :-)
