You really got to get your story straight here.......ever consider a career in politics?

Have a good one!:s4:
You really have to try to expand your posts...I am flattered that in quoting me there are more of my words in your posts than your own, but I would appreciate it if I did not have to carry the whole weight of the discussion when dealing with you....ever consider a career as a comedian? Your one-liner responses are a knockout!

You win! You win! Now could you please tell me which candidate you would have me support--the one that tells the truth at all times, for this is the only one that can be considered to not be a liar.

My original concern with the Yahoo! articlewas that it had two small quotes of Mrs. Clinton, then ended with this:

Republican National Committee spokesman Danny Diaz doubted Clinton would give up any power.

"The reality is that Hillary Clinton, much like Bill, will say and do anything to win political office and will conveniently forget their promises in short order," he said.


It should be the responsibility of the reporter/agency to point out that this statement has no scientific basis. Would both Hillary and Bill Clinton do ANYTHING to win political office? This should be a skit on SNL news. REALLY, Mr. Diaz. Would they really do anything to win political office? Really....there is the notion that journalism should be unbiased, which it should, but this does not mean it should stand aside and let the story be created on its own. Journalism should be active. The journalist has to assume responsibility for being involved in the story too and comment on the deeper aspects of the story. Anybody can quote a few sources and call it news, but it is not journalism unless the writer takes an active part in creating it.


So I guess my point is that if you are concerned that the person who will almost certainly be the next President of the United States is a chronic liar, then you should engage in thoughtful debate and discussion about this reality rather than throw your hands up in disgust. I spent the first half of the Bush administration doing just that, so I understand the motivation, but recent revelations from (insert your vision of Jah/God/Brahman/Allah/Great Spirit/Tao here) have prompted me to be more involved in the world. This is not a world that I live in. This is a world that I AM...and that is the only difference between us. I am disgusted too, believe me, but I still have hope because the alternative is unthinkable.

Have a kind one! :hippy:
