How do you know if it's bullshit if you don't even fucking read it? How about reading it, finding any source that refutes this (and, honestly, I accept right-wing think tanks as a source if you feel that this is coming form a purely left-biased source) and post it.Quote:

Politco is more than likely racist and so politically bent its not worth anyone's time to read their hit piece.
They basically go down the list of Republican candidates and then write hit pieces on them.
Hey Politico...go after the black guy claiming he chased after women...black men are always after women, right Politico?
Smear campaign gone wild. Just racists and ridiculous.
Does anyone here think that Dale Kildee is a pedophile?

Poor Tahoe.
Political News:

Do you still watch broadcast TV?

Quote:
Conyers stated that between 10 and 15 percent of Michigan residents depend on off-air program delivery, and that the loss of broadcast service from spectrum auctions would affect between one and one-and-a-half million of the state’s residents, including a large number of Detroit viewers.
Cutting just for the sake of reducing the deficit can also impede growth potential... they should strike a balance between loss + interest vs wasted opportunities.Quote:

But nooo we're (re GOP) too stubborn to see anything that makes business sense.

Hypocrite, liar, etc.

Couple of political issues that _don't_ involve presidential politics or Rep vs. Dem too much:
Should what you confess to a priest be used against you in court?
http://www.freep.com/article/2012020...xt%7CFRONTPAGE
If someone confesses that they abuse kids to a priest, would you be pissed if the priest told the cops? Would you be pissed if they didn't? How is a priest fundamentally different from a lawyer on this front?
Should prisoners be paid minimum wage?
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...ors_picks=true
If we pay them minimum wage, this gives them more money to compensate the state and the victims?
If we don't, do we create a class of worker who undercuts regular workers who have to be paid minimum wage?

She should contact Stabenow's people, I bet they'd find a role for her.
Theoretically, the Republican war on women is political news these days.
But at the end of the day, white women cast a majority of their votes for Republican presidential candidates.
So, Republicans can bitchslap women all they want and still get their vote.
It's the American way.
In the category of "stuff that should be political news":
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/op...stem.html?_r=1Quote:
“The truth is that government officials have deliberately engineered the system to assure that the jury trial system established by the Constitution is seldom used,” said Timothy Lynch, director of the criminal justice project at the libertarian Cato Institute. In other words: the system is rigged.
In the race to incarcerate, politicians champion stiff sentences for nearly all crimes, including harsh mandatory minimum sentences and three-strikes laws; the result is a dramatic power shift, from judges to prosecutors.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that threatening someone with life imprisonment for a minor crime in an effort to induce him to forfeit a jury trial did not violate his Sixth Amendment right to trial. Thirteen years later, in Harmelin v. Michigan, the court ruled that life imprisonment for a first-time drug offense did not violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
I've been sending that article to a ton of people. I'd love for that to happen. Jails are a multi-billion dollar industry in this country and we waste so much state money on them (yes, waste). I'd love for this to happen and see some great tangible consequences (like de-criminalizing possession for example).

I had a meeting with a Republican that I'll likely be voting for.
Will Tahoe die of shock? Will mercury think I'm a traitor? Will anyone care? :)
That's great.Quote:

Odumba and Mitt had some fun at a (Catholic) fundraiser last night. I thought it was some pretty funny stuf. Seriously.
I liked one of Mitts....something like..."The liberal media has already came out with their headlines for tomorrow. "Catholics embrace Obama at Fundraiser" and "Romney dines with Rich people"
Obama "Ratings show that a lot more peeps paid attention to the 2nd presidential debate. I am one of them."
There's anonymous out-of-state folks spending over a million bucks on Oakland County judicial elections.

The political news of the day for me is that NO MEDIA outlet is covering what a fuckin dildo Odumba is. Why are they not covering this? :)
Try the KKK.. they'll give ya what you search for.
^LOL
This one's for you, Tahoe!

Tahoe might be happy to know that I voted for 5 Republicans (or 6 if you count voting for an unopposed R).
^ not impressed unless one of them was Romeny. :)
Nah, good for you. Pick the peeps who you think will do a good job...dem or repub.
Romney commercials blew up the screen tonight... one after another... guess you can afford this when you don't pay taxes like everyone else.
