Tangents in a Virtual PlayGround

The Left Has Data. The Right is Pulling Strings.

A week’s assessment…

The Right:

The birth certificate stuff is like SO last year.

“D’OH bama”? C’mon now. Really?

When will everyone get the hint that really bad things happen when kids have access to guns?

Like you have NEVER a seen a “website under construction” pop-up in your lifetime.

I dare say the master’s of spin were birthed from the current administration.

And you haven’t done the happy dance?

Obamessiah? Now that’s just blasphemous.

The Left:

Let’s talk about the issues.

___

The Right has found their most canny way to support their candidate- smear the heck out of Obama’s name and character.

The Left has found their most canny way to support their candidate- show that McCain doesn’t have many friends online or offline.

As we get close to the election, much of the Right and Left attacks will get old. The American people will want to know the real juice about what each candidate is going to do when he is elected president. The question of whether Obama is a muslim terrorist hiding in Hussein brand sheep’s clothing as he fist bumps with Iraqi insurgents will dwindle. The question of whether McCain will really go insane as he ages in office faster than humanly possible and signs a law instating 100 years of Iraq will dwindle, as well.

My assessment of the conservative and liberal blogosphere is that the Right is hella happy about their candidate and the Left wishes they could’ve got a better guy- but, for loyalty’s sake, they gotta support him.

One blog. Two blog. Three blog. Four. Right blog. Left blog. True blog? What for?

Gotta love that childhood Dr. Suess spirit, eh?

Truth - a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle (ooo)

Lie - a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood (ahhh)

The question is: how can you really tell the difference? As an undergrad Philosophy major, I understand truth to be….ahh effit.

I recently sat down to peruse the landscape of the conservative and liberal blogosphere – not by choice, but I enjoyed it. In any case, I am confused- a condition I often find myself inhabiting. So, why does the Right prefer McCain and the Left prefer Obama? Oh that’s right. Because one’s a Republican and the other’s a Democrat, duh! But, clearly there are some fundamentally opposing beliefs between the camps not to mention the individual candidates are dishing out plenty of WRONG information, right? Ah, who knows. My conclusion: everything is speculation- from the “projected, potential, possible winner” (oh, there goes that alliteration again) in the polls to who the hell is actually going to assume the role of US President in November.

Well, now that Hillary’s out, at least this election has gotten a lot more interesting.
