]]> Comment on Black and white politics? by Nate http://rationaldialog.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/black-and-white-politics/#comment-9 Nate Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:36:28 +0000 http://rationaldialog.wordpress.com/?p=10#comment-9 Good points. It's a little daunting and scary to think of the influences that can affect perception and how that shapes important items... such as presidential elections. If I have to hear one more person tell me that their reason for voting for Obama is "because he's charismatic, motivational, change..." yada yada yada I'm going to become sick. Sweet! What has he actually accomplished that makes you want to vote for him? Records usually tell a whole lot of the story. That's why I check out your blog, you study things out... not saying I always agree but I know I'll get a well studied and thought out answer. - What are your thoughts on McCain? Obama has been so much in the spotlight seems like we know a lot more about him for good and bad. Good points.

]]> Comment on Is Barack Obama too liberal? by Bo Wood http://rationaldialog.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/is-barack-obama-too-liberal/#comment-2 Bo Wood Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:43:23 +0000 http://rationaldialog.wordpress.com/?p=7#comment-2 Great post! The thing with Obama is that he doesn't fit neatly into pre-established categories. He is quite liberal when viewed through the lens of his stances on abortion, gay marriage, and the potential for government to play a substantial role in society. But he also has a pragmatic, pro-business side that responsible corporations can readily accept. He doesn't automatically favor more regulation and assume that environmentalists or labor groups are right and corporations are wrong in every instance. I think that's precisely what many of us like about the possibility of an Obama presidency - he sees things differently from the typical politicians and he comes at problems from unusual angles.
