"Questions About [Michael] Moore's Facts"
michael moore is an asshat. i think HM did a very good job answering the questions. i don't necessarily agree with it all, but HM as usual did a great job.

"John Kerry Flips the Bird"
Kerry flipped a guy off. i pointed out the lack of thinking in the action. just like i thought GWB was stupid for getting caught calling a guy and asshole on a live mike four years ago. when you are running the most important election of your life you should be able to think about the consequences of your actions under a microscope.


so there we go. as i said i support bush over kerry. kerry was in the news a lot during that time frame so there was plenty of fodder publications to pick from. i post and comment on what i see. just like hm and most of the cellarites favor kerry over bush, i wouldn't expect to see them posting a lot of pro-bush articles. but exactly how does my preference for bush over kerry make me a big bad right-winger? (obvious negative connotation) very few people are really far right or far left unless they are running for office and trying to get the support of a large activist base. most of us are pretty close to the middle because we go in different directions on different issues.

do you want to talk issues or do you want to throw around subjective names like right-winger vs liberal? if you just want to throw around names, that is fine, but it does get old after awhile and it doesn't really help us to understand where the other person is coming from, which i think is the point of having the discussions we do around here. i think that most of us, while we don't have our minds changed from what we see in the cellar too often; we do learn by seeing how other cellarites respond to certain issues and questions.
