Do we have threads started for each candidate that can be kept going until the election so people can research the candidate from info we all add to it before they decide? Not a discussion thread I guess...just compiling information, articles, links? Anyone up for that?
Love,
Kat
nice video, thank you.
informational threads sound like a great idea, but it might turn into discussions when say and "opinion piece" is posted. it would be great to have things in one spot though. if we can try to keep it to primary sources it might work well, though.

i dont think there's a chance in hell of a thread like that not devolving into heated debate around here
Well,....we could try and see how it goes. If anyone would like to do it, go for it. Maybe just title the threads Obama for Obama, Guiliani for Guiliani, etc. We have a huge decision to make and factual info is good...like a video of the candidate using his own words, etc. Not swift boating by either or any side...ya know?
Love and Peace,

P.S. Feel free to use that Obama video in the thread, ok?

is it possible to sticky and lock them immediately, allowing only the original poster to edit in order to add links? that way it could be a source of just links for info and debate would have to be taken elsewhere...

my only concern would be if it's from only the candidate how do you know it's not spin? if ppl don't want 'opinion' pieces <even when they can't argue w/ what this piece says> they shouldn't want spin, either.
take the 'fact' on obama's website that he supported every single democratic senate candidate! this is misleading, b/c a lot of those ppl simply got the money from the PAC he did fundraising for...this PAC was created to give money to the democratic senate candidate....while it is technically support it is not how they make it out to be
also, would supporters be willing to post the negative of the candidate? would whoever got to post in the obama for obama thread really post that he voted to reauthorize the patriot act and other info that ppl might find useful?
while i think it's good to have the stances and not debate i think only allowing it to be that candidates supporters would be bad, too
just my 2 cents
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

It's simple...."pro & con". Each candidate gets two threads. Find one supporter and one detractor for each candidate. Anything goes within any thread. Fact, opinion, blatant lies, etc....the opposite thread serves as a balance.
America is not ready for a black president...the huge amount of media coverage alone makes this quite apparent. Spectacle...
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

i think she was asking if anyone would be willing to do it
I still think it's a good idea.
