Its ok, most conservatives in WI don't want Walker to be President- we want him to stay on as Governor of our state. The federal government and increasingly, the United States is becoming hopeless. Walker has reversed a lot of the damage to our state done by the red diaper baby Doyle and his corrupt administration- we don't want him replaced by another leftist, we can't afford it.

Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Are you meaning Virginia or the U.S? I'm supportive, either way.

(I'd say we can trade governors straight up, but clearly we'd have to offer significant compensation in trade to get rid of our accursed governor. How about Northern Virginia along with him? Or would you want a Naval base?)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

How about we trade you the Naval base for Milwaukee.

Let's not pretend the process of candidate 'vetting' in politics is a fair process for removing incompetent candidates... rather than what it is, an arbitrary series of witchunts.

It's not arbitrary at all.

It's a very deliberate purposeful witchhunt.

It's just that the folks in charge of vetting who just happen to have the biggest microphone aren't interested in vetting the folks they support.

It is arbitrary in the sense that the flaws on which an undesirable candidate is cast out are chosen arbitrarily, and are often nowhere near as horrific as the flaws of the candidate that in the end emerges victorious.

arbitrarily



http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/arbitrary

Quote
arbitrary adjective ar·bi·trary \ˈär-bə-ˌtrer-ē, -ˌtre-rē\

: not planned or chosen for a particular reason : not based on reason or evidence

: done without concern for what is fair or right

It is not arbitrary at all. In any way, shape, or form.

Those doing the "vetting" are also those who are setting the narrative.

The point isn't really vetting at all but freezing and personalizing the chosen target.  

This is a very well thought out and implemented strategy, nothing arbitrary going on at all.

Your confusion comes from thinking this is actually meant to be an honest a vetting process.

When did you become so pragmatic and realistic? :laugh:

Seriously, this is exactly, right.  Vetting politicians is done for the purpose of attacking political opponents.  It's not done out of some sort of objective effort to find the best candidate.  ALL candidates have flaws, and vetting is the process of finding those flaws in your opponents so you can use them for your benefit.  It does not matter what the flaws are.  It only matters how they can be used, and how effective they are.

If the media actually "vetted" candidates, would Obama be president?

No doubt.

Case in point: Todd Aiken, who believed the word of a medical doctor, that rape doesn't cause pregnancy; versus McCaskill, who defends a right to wantonly execute small children. Better to be evil than mistaken, apparently.

Good point.
Of course, it does backfire, if you notice, the whole "he didn't go to college" narrative died out quick, since the easy response is "well, exactly how well did the chosen one [sic] do when HE went to college...and law school"
