Good and Bad, Republicans and Democrats

With so many people saying many diffrent things about politics in this country I want to know who you consider to be trustworthy and untrustworthy in your own party. I'm going to try and compile a list here so next time I turn on a debate show I might know whether to turn it off or not.

Good:
D - Al Frankin (Backing up everything in your book with actual sources really helps)
R - John McCain(Don't really know if he is good, but I've never heard anything bad)

Bad:
D - Michael Moore(Too many lies and misrepresentations for me to ever believe what he says again)
R - Ann Coulter(Just lies, all the time)

McCain is honorable as well as a vet... while Coulter is an embarrassment to conservatives

I agree but I am still wary of Franken as I think its shitty to lie in a book about exposing liars.

Makes minor corrections which in themselves change nothing, yet calls someone a liar for it. Gets violent with Alan Colmes at a dinner party because Alan is a liberal working with Sean Hannity. Good my pimpled ass.

Quote:
R - John McCain(Don't really know if he is good, but I've never heard anything bad)
Camera hound, enjoys being the 'maverick' for more camera time. Odds are if you see a senator on TV a lot and its not one of the senate leaders, its someone who likes the camera and does things just to get in front of it.

Quote:
Bad:
D - Michael Moore(Too many lies and misrepresentations for me to ever believe what he says again)
Agreed

Quote:
R - Ann Coulter(Just lies, all the time)
Backs up everything she says, and repudiated the 'lies' exposed by Al Frankin. She is hated for being effective, and personally I think a lot of liberals have a hard time dealing with a conservative woman. Next time you are in a book store, pick up one of her books and read it a bit, she uses endnotes too. (oh wait Frankin called her a liar since she called them footnotes which is technically incorrect, but then again the NYT's called them footnotes too).

I'd say if you want a bad for the conservative side go for Michel Savage. He always has seemed like a conservative shock jock to me.

Franken called her a liar because its been well documented that she lies, I thought this would be an easy one. The footnotes thing was a joke. After he talked about her real lies.

Well, it would be pretty hard to find a politician who wasnt a liar I should think?

I am sure some Republician's and some Democrats are decent people and some are not, but all of them represent a set of political idea's that are basically the same.

Interesting list, but 90% of it doesn't seem to change what was said, only corrects a minor difference, word count, or the like. I think most liberals think she lies because thats what liberal pundits like to call her. Somewhere below I posted a link where she answers some of these claims, but its to late and I'm to lazy to look it up.

(and yes I'm well aware the footnote thing was more a joke in passing)

Now to be sure, I don't take Coulter as all fact, as she does make mistakes in her zeal, and she is too quick to blame this or that on some liberal conspiracy, but I would hardly put her in the same ranks as Moore who's outright fabrications go beyond poor proofreading and research.

On topic...I think Coulter fits in with the revisionist historians who use bits and pieces to refute a larger truth (i.e. the Holocost never happened).
Sometimes they are right but most times they are just trying to advance a political agenda.

Just like all groups there are decent, honost, caring people in both parties.
There are also weasley, bombastic, nasty, rude, liars.
You have to use your own judgement to pick them out.

Ann Coulter reminds me of a slightly plain female physics or computer science college student.

She went all through high school not really getting a date and not really being noticed, then she goes to college as is on a course that is 98% full of guys who couldnt get a date at high school either, and they are all hitting on her and it kind of goes to her head.

Well, it may be a stereotype, but you get the idea...

I can't dispute she is better looking than Michael Moore though.

I think it is a little bit sad that you can't see that Moore and Coulter are exactly the same. The both create "truth" out of thin air and use it to further their political agendas. Coulter has somewhat cute looks and Moore has the funny, it evens out.

I've read and watched them both and Coulter is not anywhere near as bad as Moore in the fabrication department. Thats my reason for not putting them together based on 'lies lies all lies'. Now if you want to slam Coulter for her tact or her 'blame any liberal' attitude, then be my guest.

And while I'd fuck Coulter long before Moore she REALLY needs to eat a cheeseburger or 10, thin is good but come on.

I would say his " the dumbest person in England is smarter than the smartest man in America" comment proves that.

So you are saying that what I posted above is incorrect? Moore did not make these and many more comments insulting to the very people he pretends to care about?

Thanks for high-jacking this thread Ustwo. You slammed me for my choice for putting Ann in the bad column but then agree later that she should be there. And even if its only 10% of that list is lies(more like 50%), that is what she had written down, meaning that she really ment to do it. So when she talks you can expect more lies than the book because she tends to get upset and start yelling.

So what this boils down to is that yes, Ann lies, and yes, she should not be taken seriously. So please get back to the topic and actually add more people you think are trustworthy and stop arguing about the hittibillity of Ann.

P.S. - She has an addam's apple. "Its a man, baby!"

He said it on British TV on tour for "Dude, where is my country?

Moore, in the role of Amerikanshe Kapo, delighted the crowd when he proclaimed that "the dumbest Brit here is smarter than the smartest American,” prompting Variety Magazine’s reviewer to comment that it was “the most egregious sucking up to a British public that I have ever seen.” On his North American tour in support of Dude, Where’s My Country, Moore substituted Canadians for Britons, telling audiences that the “dumbest Canadian” in attendance could surely outwit “the smartest American.”

As much as I want to believe moorewatch.com, I don't. Infact inlight of finding where a majority of your topics have come from, I have lost a lot of respect.

I never agreed she should be there based on your criteria. Her 'lies' are exaggerated by those who oppose her.

I don't agree with 3 of your 4 choises, sorry.

How much more evidence do you people need?
Ann-
http://www.spinsanity.org/columns/20030630.html

Moore-
http://www.spinsanity.org/columns/20031016.html

Those are just two of many articles written about both of those people. They both lie and distort the truth. How can any of you continue to believe what these people say? Just because someone agrees with you doesn't make them right or honest.

Neither sketch works, but the daring is the thing.

Politics probably brings in most of Moore's audience. But his show owes more to the traditional comic repertoire than you might expect. Moore may look as though he has just shambled in from the bar to give you a few funny political rants, but do not be deceived. The man is a stand-up comic in the grand tradition " Bold's added at my disgression

Quoting for your own purposes never quite works out right, eh ? Especially when the quote is more than a bit out of context.

I like Al Franken, and I believe him, but he can be quite rude. John McCain scares me a little. He is honorable, but I worry about his politics. I voted for him in the primaries, though. I haven't read enough of Moore to really comment, but Moorewatch seems like typical smear tactics, so I am disinclined to file him as bad to the same degree I would be disinclined to file McCain as good (not entirely, but I have reservations). Anne Coulter, however, is a wart on the ass of political discourse. Her last book wasn't titled, it was labeled. She couldn't be less honest without working directly for the administration.

Thats what both Moore and Ann do, which is why I don't like them. Now, please, can we get back to the part where other people tell me some republicans I can believe because that was the real motive for making this topic.

To give a little twist to this topic, I'm going to list Republicans I respect and feel are trustworthy, and Democrats who I don't and feel aren't.

Chuck Hagel
Richard Lugar
Ben Campbell
Olympia Snowe
Elizabeth Dole
Susan Collins
George Voinovich
Lincoln Chafee

Now for the Democrats:

John Breaux
Robert Byrd
Zell Miller
Ted Kennedy

The man is a stand-up comic in the grand tradition " Bold's added at my disgression

Quoting for your own purposes never quite works out right, eh ? Especially when the quote is more than a bit out of context.

So proving a hunch that the dumbest Brit is smarter than the cleverest American is not the same as what I posted?

When he failed to interveiw the leaders of the town community. Gm's job is to provid for GM, not Flint. I think it odd that Moore didnt stalk the mayor nor the govenor. Not saying that Roger was a good person, but he did what was best for his company, as he was paid to do. What incentives was Ford given to stay? What tax breaks? Why did the failing government get off the hook in Moore's film?
