talkpoliticsand then they did this.... the usual feelings only, create own context of the healthcare debate instead of seeing the full picture, reforming the system, keeping the government out of it as that's what caused the problems in the first place... the signs all look the same and nowhere are the stories (like mine and so many) of how gov healthcare has screwed things up - military, VA, medicare, medicaid etc.

Date: 9/9/09 21:34 (UTC)may i suggest you read some ol' speeches of william F. Buckley from the 50's & 60's wher he discusses this topic in the context of celebrities and other non-relevants.

Date: 9/9/09 23:25 (UTC)If I saw my dentist holding a sign on a street corner for a candidate I did not support I would not care one way or the other. Same if I saw him on tv giving an endorsement. Now if he insisted on telling about that candidate while giving me a checkup that would be different. In that case he would be forcing me to listen to his political views in a situation where I am not there for such things.
I think Arnold Schwarzenegger is a tool and Jerry Doyle is a nut, but I still like both of their acting, well only sometimes with Arnold...
As for Buckley I can't say I have a strong desire to go prowling about the internet for speeches. If you have a link I'll happily try and read it.

Date: 9/9/09 02:42 (UTC)You say it's about feelings. Look at the stats. There are hard numbers here. It's the anti-tax crowd that is running on feelings.
