I realize many of the items in this article are old news but I still found it interesting when you consider it all in perspective.

...and I dare one of the conservatives to call this site liberal.


Bush-League Lysenkoism

I consider myself to be well read and semi-articulate, but that was some unreadable ****. The issue is making your point with in the first paragraph, something I had to read and re-read, and then scan the entire article to discover.

It amounted to this after the third try:

<White noise>

<More white noise>

"Bush is a bad man."

Heh, entertain your audience, Git, entertain me.

Don't worry, Totem, someone fro the White House will be along shortly to dumb it down for you and explain that "we all know scientists are crazy. Look what happened when they invented Flubber, after all."

Looking at the site I wouldn't say it's liberal or conservative. I would say it's trying to do as much marketing as possible(I'm assuming so it can make as much money as possible). So I'd think if the rabid republicans wanted to submit something just as negative about the democrates, as long as it sells papers, they would publish it.

Mud slinging is nothing new in politics, but this article pretty much reads like a group a scientists(a VERY small group might I add), whining that "mean old Georgie" won't let them have a piece of the pie.

George Bush is a politician, NOT a scientist. His goal is to get re-elected. Of course he's not going to support or put forward people who don't agree with him, or who paint him in a negative light, it would be counter productive considering his goals.

And if you think a democratic president would be any more open or accepting of criticism, then you have a LOT of learning still to do about politics.

Democrats start with science and adjust policy. Republicans start with policy and adjust science.

Simmilar, but not the same.

Smash....A democratic president is going to suppress whatever he needs to in order to get re-elected. That's the nature of the game.

Democrats and republicans are pretty much different sides of the same coin. It's all about getting in office and staying there. Policy is dictated by whatever will get them enough electoral votes, and ***** what the majority of the population wants, or what's best for the nation. There is no idealism in politics anymore, it's just about keeping your job, and that goes for BOTH parties.

That's a realy novel insight. I'd never heard that point of view before. Both parties are the same, who cares. Revolutionary!

The fate of this nation is regularly decided by nine people. Of those nine people at present, four ussually agree with Totam, four ussually agree with me, and one alternates back and forth.

That one who alternates back and forth, Sandra Day OcConor is getting old and is going to retire. Someone is going to have the privlidge of choosing who takes her place. If that someone is George W. Bush the future of this nation will be radically diffrent than if that person is John F Kerry.

That, my freind, is the most idealistic and critical of political decisions to be made in our generation.
