The democratic party isn’t exactly hard up for money. Federal matching funds aren’t a factor for the two major parties.

For third parties, they’re freaking HUGE.

And again, this is so far away from what I was talking about it’s silly. When I say I’m not an environmentalist, I mean I don’t take that in to consideration when voting because I don’t care. If someone wants to save the whales and I agree with everything else they say, I’ll vote for them. If someone wants to club baby seals for the sheer joy of watching them die but agrees with everything else I believe, I’ll vote for him. I just don’t care either way. A pro-life democrat who votes republican throws away everything else they believe in over one issue. That’s retarded and if it’s THAT important to them that NONE of the rest of the platform matters, why the hell are they registering as a democrat?

As a part of legislation signed by Mr. Spitzer in June creating stiff new criminal penalties for those who force others to engage in sex or other labor, Mr. Spitzer approved an increase in the penalty under New York’s law against patronizing a prostitute in New York to one year in prison from 90 days (Penal Law §230.04).

He’s a huge hypocrite, and hypocrisy is a character flaw, you retard. He also undermined all the work his supporters did, giving easy opportunity for his enemies to oust him.

Splett, you think Democrats can’t vote on abortion, but you are a member of the Green party, and environmentalism doesn’t sway you. If those Dems should be in the Right To Life party as you say, you should be in the Socialist Workers Party.

Like I just said above, in my opinion Spitzer’s flaw wasn’t going to a prostitute, but attacking prostitution publicly and legally while doing it privately. I don’t think it should be illegal either and I said so on this site in March.

“What I do see happening is President McCain telling the congress not to bother sending any more spending bills packed with earmarks, as he’s not going to sign them.”

Oh really? Would that be before or after VP Hockey Mom Pitbull Kills Caribou With Her Bare Hands pulls him aside and threatens to cut off his nuts if he doesn’t shower Alaska with that sweet, sweet federal moolah like she’s done the last year and a half?

The last time “Maverick” McCain saw his balls was when he handed them over in a silver box to Beer Money Cindy to jumpstart his political career.

Hudson, old politicians or judges never die they just move over to another nipple.

Personality and character mean more in a Congressman than how they will carry the Party’s water. I would expect a congressman to vote NO on bills that adversely affect their district, whether the Party tells them to vote YES or not.

We need people in Congress that can see the totally out-of-control earmark spending by BOTH parties has to come to an end, and they should give the President, regardless of the party he or she belongs to the line item veto. Since they don’t have the guts to not rape our wallets to retain their employment, they should surrender their lack of fiscal discipline to a higher power–the Executive.

Nobody likes having their pockets picked–whether its by a criminal, a union, or the government. And a line item veto could end earmarks.

Frankly I doubt there will EVER be a clearing out of the incumbents that would allow this to happen.

What I do see happening is President McCain telling the congress not to bother sending any more spending bills packed with earmarks, as he’s not going to sign them.

@byron — olbermann’s remarks are more insipid and contemptable in print than they were when i heard them last night. american politics is not supposed to be about making the other side evil, it’s supposed to be about ideas, and which ideas are right for our country.

if you think that olbermann really cares about who wins the election, you’re as big a moron as the dittoheads who religously listen to rush. olbermann was fired from fox, but if they’d have elevated him to the position he now holds at msnbc he’d be attacking obama.

and in anticipation of your witty comeback, no, he wasn’t fired by fox for his principaled political viewpoints, he was fired because of on the air bitching about having to cover the o.j. simpson case. much like dennis miller, who was great when he did the news on “saturday night live,” olbermann has become a parody of his former witty and entertaining self.

when he did his first “special comment,” the one about donald rumsfeld, it was genuine, spot on, and superbly delivered. the piece you quote is just schtick for the bumpkins.
