Seriously… what? Is the text from the props on the ballot? I assume people will see what the propositions are about…

Meep, they will see what is on the ballot. Each California election cycle a booklet is sent to each registered voter and every item that is to be voted is generally described. Also, under that general description, a column is provided for a group opposed to the measure to say why. And a column to the right provides space for a group in support of the measure. They allow each side enough space for about 400 words.

It’s a good system and makes it almost impossible for the politicos to dupe the electorate. I know this because I use to live in California, but now in Missouri.

The Missouri State Constitutional Amendment 2, that is on our ballot this cycle is very deceptive. It states boldly in the title that it bans cloning, but in fact does just the opposite within the five pages of small print not shown on the ballot. And on top of that, just to add insult to injury, if approved, it requires Missouri tax payers to pay for it. I wish we had California’s ballot system here.

But that’s the ONLY thing I want from California!

I’m more interested in knowing why liberals hate Bush.

Why did Hitler hate Jews? You’ll get at least as cogent a response.

LGF shows photos of Palestinian children holding guns under the title PALESTINIAN CHILD ABUSE (O-T, I’ve emailed Charles about this, in most of those photos they AREN’T real guns, but either toys or Airsoft pellet guns), by the same logic this video, which uses children to do their political dirty work who aren’t able to distinguish whether they are doing and saying things they’d actually agree with, is LIBERAL CHILD ABUSE.

Aside from the completely inane suggestion that two California propositions are Bush’s doing, and relate AT ALL to the charges mouthed by the kids, let’s consider the charges themselves.

Oil-loving. Hmm, yes, Bush is an oil man, so guilty as charged. So what? Oh wait, the real reason we went to Iraq was to steal their oil, I forgot. So, why haven’t we?

Land-grabbing. Where? Oh, you mean the Kelo decision of the Supreme Court? Not something you can beat Bush over the head with, except that he should write a Presidential order vacating it pending appropriate legislation to further limit eminent domain. - This is the ONE comment that has any potential tie to the subject of the ad, and Prop 90 is a stringent limit to the state’s eminent domain authority. Ironic.

Croney-promoting. Not a charge worth answering. Politics is politics. Nobody in history ever promoted their buddies more than Bill and HIllary Clinton.

Corporate-coddling. Ah yes, the socialist clarion. Government’s one proper purpose is to destroy business, thereby making all comradescitizens equal.

War-mongering. Check the facts again. Bush tried for 16 months to get Saddam to be reasonable, tried like crazy to get the U.N. to show some spine, and then followed the vision he established on 20 September 2001.

Stem cell-vetoing. Lies. President Bush has promoted immunological research well beyond what should be done by a president. His only opposition is on principle against government funding of destructive embryonic research which kills babies.

Constitution-bashing. I’ll grant that President Bush has been soft on issues that DO damage the Constitution, which it is his first duty to defend. For example, while signing the McCain-Feingold finance reform bill, he expressed his disagreement, then assured everybody that the Supreme Court would find it unconstitutional. Passing the buch can have repercussions. However, using decisions like that to call him constitution-bashing is sad.

Privacy-invading. Can anyone else remember, in the not-so-distant past, when you knew that long distance phone calls would be monitored by the operator? That if you uttered illegal, vulgar, or obscene words over the line you could expect a visit from the FCC? No relevant laws have changed, you have no expectation of privacy in such communications, just as you have no expectation of privacy in emails. International communications with suspected terrorists are and should be subject to governmental monitoring, in violation of NO LAWS.

Reminiscent of Holly Patterson – chic that was Pwned!

The label Conservative Democrat can be added to the list of Oxymorons.

i promised a “corker is racist” parody on friday.

here it is…

I was a little taken back that he would even know who she was. His mother saw his tantrum, was very embarassed, and said loud enough for anyone around to hear, “Now now, we don’t hate people.” Obviously she had just been outed in public about what goes on in her home. The kid obviously picked up on her vehement feelings about Condi and was parroting them in public. It was funny to see her discomfort at the scene and sad in that the kid was being indocrinated without realizing what was happening.

Seriously… what? Is the text from the props on the ballot? I assume people will see what the propositions are about and wonder what the hell it has to do with George Bush.

I liked the daisy ad, too. So I thought about your comparison in the spirit fair-mindedness, and concluded that they’re apples and oranges. You’ll see what I mean when you get a chance to see the ad.

– partial transcript –

Narator – “What do you think about George Bush’s special interest agenda for California?”

Kid 1 – “I think George Bush should take his oil-loving…”

Kid 2 – “… land-grabbing…”

Kid 3 – “… croney-promoting…”

Kid 4 – “… corporate-coddling…”

Kid 5 – “… war-mongering…”

Kid 6 – “… stem cell-vetoing…”

Kid 7 – “… constitution-bashing…”

Kid 8 – “… privacy-invading…”

Kid 9 – “… ideology out of California!”

[...]

Both ads feature kids, but after that the similarity kind of evaporates. But thanks for bringing up daisy anyway. I hadn’t really considered why most kidsploitation ads bother me. What really bothers me isn’t the use of kids at all. It’s the product they’re selling.

Their I Hate Bush message is clear, and they should be ashamed of themselves for promoting hatred amongst children.

Seems to be that kind of stuff has been talked about before. Like here: “It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.”

But what is the difference between this ads victems (young children) and that Daisy/Thermonuculear War ad from the 60s? She was pretty much the perfect victem too. And I believe a lot of us liked that Daisy ad.

that’ll show em….

They will feel cheated and used, molested.

One of their Conservative relatives should duly note the abuse and have lawyers available and at the ready.
