ON WHAT DO WE BASE OUR DECISIONS?

Posted on by

ON TRUTH?: the body of real things, events, and facts

ON FACTS?: something that has actual existence <space exploration is now a fact> b: an actual occurrence <prove the fact of damage>

ON OPINIONS?: belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge b: a generally held view

ON FEELINGS?: often unreasoned opinion or belief

ON HEAR-SAY?: a rumor: a statement or report current without known authority for its truth (not accepted in court)

ON HALF-TRUTHS: a statement that mingles truth and falsehood with deliberate intent to deceive

(definitions from: http://www.merriam-webster.com/ )

——————————————-

ON WHICH ARE THE FOLLOWING BASED (from some items posted)?

“Lets face it……The Republican Party is one where the very rich lead the very ignorant…..There are some exceptions as we saw at the Democratic Convention…..Republicans who had lost their jobs, their health insurance, their homes, etc……and when Jesus didn’t step forward and come to the rescue, they turned to the Democratic Party.
 
The Republican Party now offers America as its Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates a 72 year old man with serious health considerations and a born again, rifle shooting, moose gutting, abstinence teaching, anti choice, oil drilling woman who, as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska tried to ban books from the local library…..books that she considered morally or socially objectionable to her.  This is truly a dangerous woman to have one heart beat away from the Presidency.”

SOME REPUBLICANS WARY OF PALIN’S NOMINATION….

Posted on by

GOP vice presidential pick Sarah Palin accepted at least $4,500 in campaign contributions in the same fundraising scheme at the center of a public corruption scandal that led to the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens.

The contributions, made during Palin’s failed 2002 bid to become Alaska’s lieutenant governor, were not illegal for her to accept. But they show how Palin, a self-proclaimed reformer who has bucked Stevens and his allies, is nonetheless a product of a political system in Alaska now under the cloud of an ongoing FBI investigation.

It’s the latest in a string of revelations that have forced John McCain‘s campaign to defend his choice and the thoroughness of the background check of Palin, 44, a little-known governor who is new to the national stage. Palin stunned delegates at the GOP convention Monday when she announced through the McCain campaign that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant.

With the convention still abuzz, the list of potentially embarrassing details grew Tuesday:

_Palin sought pork-barrel projects for her city and state, contrary to her reformist image.

_Her husband once belonged to a fringe political group in Alaska with some members supporting secession from the United States.

_A private attorney has been authorized to spend $95,000 to defend her against accusations of abuse of power.

_She has acknowledged smoking marijuana in the past.

And this: Bristol Palin’s boyfriend, Levi Johnston, plans to join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention, the boy’s mother said. He left Alaska on Tuesday morning to join the Palin family in St. Paul, Minn.

Defending his choice and the team that helped pick her, McCain said Tuesday that “the vetting process was completely thorough.” Campaign advisers at the convention in St. Paul, Minn., said Palin filled out a survey with 70 questions, including: Have you ever paid for sex? Have you been faithful in your marriage? Have you ever used or purchased drugs? Have you ever downloaded pornography?

I’D RATHER LOSE AN ELECTION THAN A WAR (McCain).

Posted on by

“Forget all her so-called family values and politics.  Assuming that McCain actually did know beforehand about Bristol Palin being pregnant,  that means he decided Bristol’s situation would somehow be beneficial to his campaign.  In other words, he would use Bristol Palin’s problems to promote his presidential chances.  Otherwise, he would have decided it would have a negative impact, in which case he would have eliminated her from the selection process and picked someone else before her name even came up. 

So what is that advantage? 

And what was Sarah Palin thinking?  What did she see as her advantage in going forward with her candidacy, knowing that her daughter was pregnant?  Certainly she must see some political gain being made from this, or why put her daughter through what will certainly be an incredible amount of unnecessary psychological stress brought on by the media scrutiny she will undergo over the next two months. 

Somehow I feel I’m watching something pretty sick, especially when I think of all the undeserved stress this 17 year old girl is about to be exposed to, in the interests of furthering her mother and John McCain‘s political careers. 

Any thoughts?  If people write things, I’ll pass it around my circles.  I feel there’s something really fundamental and scary here that the Republicans are planning, something really emotionally manipulative that we need to get a handle on, and quick.”
