How to Whack a Liberal

How it reads:
On paper, this campaign looks fairly standard. Obama, an Illinois Democrat, is staunchly in favor of abortion rights, while McCain, an Arizona Republican, has compiled a solid record over four Senate terms of opposing abortion.
How it should read:

It's a subtle difference that makes all the difference in the world. It would be more obvious if it said:
Obama, an Illinois Democrat, is staunchly in favor of abortion.
That would be a profoundly inaccurate and unfair way of characterizing Obama's position. The decision to exise the word 'rights' from what McCain has opposed over four terms in the Senate is equally inaccurate and distorting.
LIEberman to speak at the GOP convention?
Whoa, there's a shocker!
Where else can a pariah find shelter besides the metaphorical leper colony that the GOP has become?
Support the Troops.
End the Occupation.

By justintymeAugust 20, 2008 - 3:07pmLeave it to Joe to go to a convention that even many
prominent members of the party aren't attending, at the advice of their own congressional campaign chair! Just when you think Joe can't do a worse job of reading the public, he surprises you. I keep expecting Hillary to show up too, to accept the VP slot from Crash McGrandpa. Mediocrity and privilege, meet arrogance and ego.

DICK.
I hope LIEberman enjoys himself ... me thinks his days as a "democratic" senator from CT are numbered ... I plan on working very diligently AGAINST him.

They did this same thing with words like liberal (now we all have to be progressives, I'm not sure I want to be a progressive).

By justintymeAugust 20, 2008 - 3:33pmRights and informed consent
I'm not in favor of abortion. Abortion is a sad, last resort. But the right to an abortion should not be taken away from women in the first trimester. I think women have had plenty of time in the first trimester to decide whether or not to keep a pregnancy.
After that, it really should be a decision based purely on medical grounds. If a woman's mental balance is in jeopardy, it should be more than just stress. Pregnancy is stressful. Suddenly being faced with having to support a baby is stressful. Women are emotional during pregnancy. Those things in and of themselves should not be enough to allow a second or third trimester abortion. Mental health should be objectively evaluated by a competent mental health professional.
That said, I believe a good many women who have abortions after the first trimester would not if they were given education in fetal development and what abortion a second and third trimester abortion does. There is no informed consent without accurate information. Hiding the information in the belief that women might feel guilty infantilizes women. They would feel a lot worse if they were to uncover the information later.

Joe Lieberman... Our United States Senator from the great state of... Isreal.
Who's he kidding.
Lieberman is intentionally and willfully putting the national interests of Isreal before the national interests of the United States... I don't forgive that.
I have always been, and remain a supporter of Isreal as the only democracy in the region and as a check against anti-U.S. elements in the region... But not to the point that I put THEIR interests before those of my country and fellow citizens.
Fuck Joe Lieberman.
