Clinton in the debate, responding to a question on dynasty, said that she thinks America is great because everyone gets where they get because of their merits, and then ends with the non-sequitor that "it took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, and it might take another Clinton to clean up after the second Bush"
There's so much insanity in this answer:
- the obvious contradiction between the start and end of her response
- that she would actually believe it a good thing to encourage voting for "a Clinton"
- the idea that there's "equal opportunity" in this country in not an especially common one among liberals
And she still won't fucking admit her war vote was a mistake. She is making the obscene lie that she didn't know she was voting for the war, and didn't know Bush would fuck it up so bad. Everyone knew that
"Right on day one" - wow, that's the fucking best line of the debate
I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the media’s lack of questions to the presidential candidates about global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be an issue.
Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?
Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do? No matter what your political affiliation is or who you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.
