Rob Willington on 96.9

The Phoenix's Ultra, HardCore, Radical, Rabid Article

David Bernstein from the Boston Phoenix loves modifiers. Bernstein's recent article is full of political-speak resembling a DNC press release.

radical right wing creatures

radical kooks

ultra-right wing (Steve Pearce)

ultra-right wing (American Conservative Union)

ultra-conservative (Newt Gingrich)

ultra-conservative (John Kyl)

rabid conservatives

rabid right

rabid ideologues

radical right wing creatures

hard right conservatives

ultra right wing (2)

hard-core conservatives.

know-nothing, scary conservatives.

zombies.

The term "conservative" won't do for David. He wants to show you how very, super-duper, very, very, very, majorly, "extreme" some of these Republicans are. The article should cause you to zoom out a little bit and ask; what is the difference between conservative and "ultra," "radical" conservative? David's answer is that Newt Gingrich is not simply a conservative. What this article really reveals, if anything, is David's worldview and where he is on the political spectrum.

NY POST: DEMS' CAMPAIGN-FINANCE HYPOCRISY

By BOB KERREY

ON the question of public funding of presidential campaigns, we Democrats who strongly support Sen. Barack Obama's candidacy and who previously supported limits on campaign spending and who haven't objected to Obama's opting out of the presidential funding system face an awkward fact: Either we are hypocrites, or we were wrong to support such limitations in the first place.

The next time we speak of the virtue of level playing fields or state our strong belief that democracy can't survive in the modern age unless big money is taken out of campaigns, we'll be counting on our audience's forgetting our silence this year, when the free market was flowing in our direction.

A hypocrite is a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue - who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. And that, it seems to me, is what we're doing now.

Former Sen. Wendell Ford once gave me good advice about public issues and votes: "If it takes you more than 10 minutes to explain why you voted a particular way, you probably voted wrong." It would take me a lot longer than those 10 minutes to explain why I'm not outraged by Obama's decision to opt out of funding - which has given him a decisive spending advantage over Sen. John McCain.

Actually, I could keep my answer under 10 minutes if I were willing to answer that it's now to my advantage to act in contradiction to my previously stated beliefs. All I would need to say is that, on the issue of public funding in 2008, I was a hyprocrite.

Of course, there's another option: Admit I was wrong on such limitations in the first place. And that's exactly what I'm likely to do.

For the facts in evidence seem to make the case that this presidential campaign is the most exciting, most closely watched and most expensive in my lifetime. That is, there seems to be no correlation between the amount of money spent and disillusionment among the voters. Indeed, the contrary appears to be true.

The argument that money is corrupting our democratic system is as old as our first election. And it is an argument usually made by liberals, who have proposed various interventions in the marketplace of political ideas.

The bedrock federal law here was enacted in 1971 and has been challenged time and again by individuals and groups who view such limits as a violation of the First Amendment. On each of the several occasions when the Supreme Court has ruled against the law, Congress came back with further modifications to the statute.

The most recent effort was in 2002, when Sen. McCain led a bipartisan effort to "clean up the system." Last year, the high court overturned the key provision of that law, which restricted individuals and groups from engaging in issue campaigns.

There is great irony here, since the key vote in that 5-4 decision was Justice Sam Alito - just the kind of "nonactivist" judge that Sen. McCain has promised to nominate.

So maybe I was simply wrong about placing limits on spending and providing public monies in exchange for adhering to these limits. Of course, it's possible that I'm making a virtue out of a necessity - since my candidate is now winning in part because, by opting out of the system, he has more money to spend.

In the short term, I'm sad to report that hypocrite is a more accurate label. In the long term, perhaps this will be the moment that causes me to change my views. It certainly feels better than remaining a hypocrite forever.

Suffolk College Republicans

I have to say, the Suffolk College Republicans rule. They are here at the MassGOP right now at 7:59 and they have been making calls for hours.

They are dedicated.

The Suffolk CR's remind me of how I was when I was a proud member of the Massachusetts Alliance of College Republicans.

You don't have to be left out. You can join the College Republicans in their effort by donating right now to help the GOP farm team to send Republicans to Beacon Hill.

Obama Redistribution Of Wealth

Here is a 2001 interview of Obama talking as a State Senator. He wants to fundamentally change our constitutional system.

Obama In The Real World

This was an email sent to Robert Bluey:

"In a local restaurant my server had on a “Obama 08″ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference–just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application."
