Because I think some people who might want to see it didnt, like Kasz and Rocketpig. I was also banned for a few days, so I couldn't revive the topic anytime between then and now.
It is a pretty major issue to me too, and shouldn't be overlooked like any other report. If someone found some information that Obama had supported a lot of pro-life organizations while consistently maintaing a pro-choice stance, then it would be a major discovery. Obviously that is just an example, but you get my point.
When a candidate waffles on one of their main platform issues, it is big news. Waffles on minor issues are often blown out of proportion (like the McCain birth control/insurance fiasco awhile ago), but big inconsistencies in a candidate's actions and platform are completely relevant.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
