I think this is a kernel of important information, insight into the rightwing mind, or lack thereof, that we should be paying attention to.

I would wish that this would be a wake up call, a message that gutless moderation doesn't work in the face of crazies. Our state is a casualty too, Virginia that elected an extremist right wing governor-which makes me question and ask, how can the same people who voted repeatedly for Ted Kennedy and Tim Kaine vote for polar opposites? Is winning really just about "firing up the independents" who seem to get fired up for a new episode of American Idol...

Ok, I get that its not perfect, horrible stupak amendment which is vile to women, myself especially since I consider an early choice that I made to have an abortion one of the most adult and responsible moments of my life. I am very proud of that decision. I have three wonderful planned children who will grow up to make meaningful contributions to society not detract, and thats what an adult does.

Isn't it always really just about money? Legislators (probably some dems like Nelson, who sounds just like a republican),will not support real reform because they get a hefty paycheck from healthcare and pharm-the two most evil industries right up there with tobacco and oil.

They simply will not let a black man BE President. Every move that President Obama makes infuriates them- teapartiers, birthers, whatever the issue of the moment that they can wrap around the fact that they are furious that a black man (or maybe they are furious that an intelligent man) is president. The latest is even more outrageous-that school children can't listen to their president give a welcome address-and what if there was a political element in it? I had to listen to crap from Bush I about a "war on drugs" that I don't agree with, or wear an f-ing red ribbon (mandatory) for red ribbon week. I know as an educator that DARE is a horrible horrible ineffective program but it is shoved down my children's throats for years. No choice. But this Tuesday my children will not have the opportunity to hear their President speak live. (we can "tape it and listen at home like sex education, so that parents can say things to their children like: "now see the black president doesn't really count"). We elected Obama, we made sacrifices so that this country might recover from extreme stupidity and they just won't let it happen. Maybe dems should grow a pair and tell them to just SHUT UP and live with it. Please stop trying to be bi-partisan!!! When will we learn that these people cannot be rational???

How to talk to your children about politics: Passion is more important that polite

Two events caused me to write this entry: this morning the talking heads on morning news did a segment on "how to talk to your kids about politics", key point-be polite. That TOTALLY misses the critical message and continues the mainstream view (and the view of some responders here who seem to represent the Temperance League and Spelling Police-who both need OCD medication)...the "teachable moment" is decision making (not mirroring the opinions of parents, cohort group or authority figures) and that is both a developmental milestone and a key difference in the two party perspectives. The other event was a panel discussion we attended at our local high school last night where I was amazed (shouldn't have been) at the level of dittoheading of local teens, who stand to lose (alot, like their lives, in terms of the draft) based on the results of this election.

The incredible amount of money spent by the RNC ($150,000)to turn Palin into a package that would appeal, was a telling investment. Is it possible that, this time around, the republicans have overestimated the stupidity of the electorate? Wow that would be uplifting.

Have you noticed recently that cable news, always horrible, has gotten worse in terms of quality of reporting and stories. The lack of substance and the need to always make every political story appear equal, even if it isn't-not to mention the packaging-has made watching this garbage unbearable. There is a real existential disconnect when the smiling news blonde (low cut blouse)...tells a serious story followed by the everpresent animal story (substitute old people or children)...

What a phenomena, what's in the "Kool-Aid"? I live in a little hamlet in Northern Virginia, 20 miles from DC. It has no diversity and considers itself rather affluent. Yesterday was "Clifton Day", the annual street fair. Who showed up? Not just thousands of McCain supporters but Sarah as Wonder Woman. (or Wonder Woman as Sarah?) The cops had their picture taken with her. (emulating Troopergate?) What are these people thinking? Do they realize they would be voting for the leader of the free world, or what used to be free? Why would you want someone lacking intellectually (I would use the word "twat", which is the most appropriate word, but some of you have PC fits...) to serve as the Commander in Chief? Same question now for three presidential races.

Does it matter if a candidate is "good" or "evil"? Does it matter if a President or Vice President is either end of this moral continuum? This weeks exhange focusing on the past (Ayers and Wright) are an example of unethical practices that would have angered McCain in 2000 when Bush did the same to him.

As a follow up to the highly sexualized performance of the Avon Lady Governor, as Bill Maher characterized her, Keith Olberman pointed out the ongoing and disturbing soft core porn that is circulating through the right wing corridors regarding the debate, masquarading as commentary, but sounding like the seventh graders that they are.

This is exactly what Olbermann said, before the pruds of daily kos get to it.
