Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. has paid more than $2 million in campaign cash to his family members, their businesses and employers over the years, a practice that watchdogs criticize as rife with potential conflicts of interest.

PALIN,

This will not be a story--since it is a Democrat.

"This will not be a story"


Nothing illegal, and frankly i don't see much wrong with having family work for you. If you wasn't to hit his campaigns for unscrupulous finical issues go back to the orchestration of his wifes bribe by obama.
The way i see it is that the republicans don't need to sink to this level where we are just grasping at straws, leave that to the dems, the american people have seen enough already.

Politics of Change, my ass.

"Nothing illegal"

Farting in my grandmother's face is not illegal either. That doesn't mean it is proper for me to do it. Therefore the fact that what Biden did is not illegal does not necessarily make this a non-story.

it won't be a big deal and neither will this. they are untouchable.

Paying them $2 million in campaign cash vs. out of pocket is a bonus. And I'll bet their time sheets and expense reports are all in order.

All i'm saying is that this is the petty crap i am tired of. This is all we have been seeing as of late, i can point to 3 or 4 threads already today that are about this same kind of nonsense. Talk about issues or legitimate legalities rather the this low level distraction.

Bristol Palin is pregnant, and her boyfriend is a redneck. Better?

If you want to talk about issues, then go to a thread about issues and talk about them. Telling other people what they should and should not find important it a waste of your time. Potential ethical violations by a candidate for vice president are important to many people. You are not the final say in what is and is not news.

on a positive note - democrats for mccain/palin raised $11 million this week!

"You are not the final say in what is and is not news."


No, i'm not, i'm just tired of all this stupid mudslinging crap. I guess i just am not comfortable with our elections rendered down to this petty junk.

So my point is, many of us that are on the right have been constantly bombarded with this kind childish attacks and are tired of it. We hear on a day to day basis the mccain used too much toilet paper or palin won't drink orange juice, we don't need to recite the same drivel. So let the left think what they like, i don't believe we need to sink to their level, we don't need to resort to mindless attacks, we can do better.

"I guess i just am not comfortable with our elections rendered down to this petty junk. "

Then let's lift it up. Since the economy is in all the news, how about answering this:

How do McCain's economic policies differ from Bush's?

This should just be made illegal. If you are a politician and your family wants to work for you then they can volunteer. If they are unwilling to do so then find the service they are providing somewhere else.

"How do McCain's economic policies differ from Bush's?"


Biggest point is to curb government spending, something that bush promised. That will allow the tax cuts need to create a health business environment creating jobs and hopefully pushing us a little further into the global market. I understand you are trying to paint mccain as being bush on the economy, but this is not bushes fault, we are suffering because of the heavy taxes the corporate world faced because of Clinton's shortsightedness. Yes he had a surplus, at the expense of the necessary growth tho continue the economic boom he inherited.


Now thats that is out of the way tell me the differences between obama's and lennin's.

Re Lenin's NEP:

Economic policy of the Soviet Union (1921 28). A temporary retreat from the failed War Communism policy of extreme centralization and doctrinaire socialism, the new measures included the return of most agriculture, retail trade, and light industry to private ownership (though the state retained control of heavy industry, banking, transport, and foreign trade) and the reintroduction of money into the economy. The policy allowed the economy to recover from years of war. In 1928 chronic grain shortages prompted Joseph Stalin to begin to eliminate private ownership of farmland and to collectivize agriculture under state control, effectively ending the NEP. By 1931 state control was reimposed over all industry and commerce.

Oh cry me a fuckin river. The party of Rove bemoaning petty personal attacks is fucking pathetic. Sink to their level? The repubs have set the bar that low and, unfortunately, the dems have sunk to meet it.

See? told ya.


So which one is this?
lenin or obama?

control the banks
control the credit
control the corporations(hold taxes over their head till they submit)
deny wealth it innovators
punish those with more
Mandate business pension operations
Require public schooling (no alternative for the masses)
Exact control over business(as seen by the foreclosure moratorium)
oops did that one give it away?

"The repubs have set the bar that low and, unfortunately, the dems have sunk to meet it."


Show me.
I can point out dozens of personal attacks by the democratic party not just the supporters. Can you do the same?

Alright, iv'e got to go. I'll look forward to your list tomorrow.

Wow, look at the right wing circle jerk. Make sure to wash up when you guys are through.
