Forgive for looking at some old threads (as I am a trained google historian, I am doing research on a topic so I can become a proficient dot connector.... that and one of my kids has a cold so we are homebound today):

244. I am a historian by training so I am taking the long view on this
and comparing notes to the McCain campaign, the other one where the ultimate insider is coning out and telling us how horrible she was (and she was)
But this is beyond the candidates, this is DC and how it operates in the age of personal destruction.
Give thanks to Karl Rove, and we can go back to Nixon and the 1960 defeat to Kennedy... this is part of the long trend in US history.
Clinton (and the impeachment) was the first example at the presidential level of this new age.
Well, Edwards is just another one, with the rest of them... at the Senate level (mostly on the right, and in that case more a case of double standards, which in this case there is as well)
But this story is another notch in the trend.
Clinton, they kept it with him and mostly left the rest alone. Now they have also gone after Elizabeth.
What do these stories have in common? Halperin.
As I said, historians (and I happen to be one by training) will have a hell of a time with this campaign and the tell all stories.
And yes I liked him on IDEOLOGICAL grounds so did Kucinich. This country will not vote for men with a social democrat ideology because they will simply be destroyed... again, part of those trends. But as a historian, this is what I am looking at... trends and how these politics of personal destruction will take out many people, some for the right reasons (maybe) some for the wrong reasons. But damn it they are also damaging and the country needs to grow the **** up about personal relations... no France is not a paradise, but have you ever asked yourself why the story with Clinton, or the story with Edwards, or for that matter vitter and the crew have never been a story in Europe? I'll tell you why... they don't give a shit about things like that.

278. My observsations are not just about Edwards
get it now?
The pattern of manipulating the population to bring down those that political elites do not like goes back a long time... and it is hilarious to see how people FIXATE on the current one.
This is about the United States and a pretty naive population when it comes to politics and what actually matters in politics.
Yes Edwards was a monster, but not precisely for the same reasons you THINK he was... and I am not defending his sexual indiscretions, they are none of my business.
So here is my question, who is the next monster to be destroyed? The next that gets any traction beyond the five percent...

276. And halperin has other reasons
to come out with that shiny axe. This is a pattern going back to oh the silent majority of the Nixon Era... and earlier.
That's all I am saying.
And me liking him on ideological grounds does not mean I am blind to the reality that this sexual fixation of the US is as old as the first colony... it has gotten better, but that puritan strain goes back a LONG TIME.
And it is ultimately doing damage to the people. Some are brought down for "good reasons" some are brought down out of spite, some are just brought down because their ideology does not match that of the political elites, and some are brought down for multiple reasons. I can bet that this has to do with ideology (and the next gig) far more than whether you like Edwards or not. And the next one who dares to run on policies that are not liked by the ruling establishment will be brought down and you will lap it up too.
It is why I laugh. People complaint, but cannot see how damn hard they are manipulated.
Don't mind me, I am just the pointy head intellectual on the corner quite frankly laughing my ass off.
Resume addition?

Nads, first off, English please. I don't speak and/or understand batshit crazy.
Second, if you a ****ing intellectual, I'm the ***-damn Pope.
Third, you couldn't possibly laugh long enough for the junk in your trunk to fall off.

What she is saying, is whenever a democrat gets caught cheating on his wife, or exports images of his wang on twitter for all to see, its not his fault. Somehow the republicans MADE him do it,
Thus we all should ignore democrat scandals, especially the ones they do to themselves. Its ALWAYS a GOP plot.
So whatever the Democrat Unicorn shits, it must be Skittles, so eat up good citizens and never question your masters again.
