Issues vs 'tickin'

  • 7 Comments
  • by: JO

Issues; What should be the role of government in economic recovery? What’s the relative importance of reducing the deficit vs bringing down unemployment? Is there anything voters can do about the sclerosis afficting the United States Senate, and therefore the entire federal government?

Politickin’: Did you hear what [Candidate X] said on the radio last night? Wow, the losing Republican in the Senate primary got more votes than the winning Democrat. Here’s the outcome in Mesa County. I was so offended by the choice of words in one of the commercials that ran during the primary that I’d change my vote if that candidate won the nomination!

Where, in either discussion, does this language fit?

–He’s fartin’ in the elevator.”

–If you think that, you’re insane

–“You suck.”

–S/he’s just a shill, LIAR…

–“Blow me, genius.”

What purpose does this site serve for people who use it? A. Discuss issues. B. Gossip about people with folks who agree. C. An online pub. What is the role of the site’s editors in all this? Does Gresham’s Law apply to blogs as well as to markets?

  1. I actually get some valuable information along with the entertainment value.

    The name calling comes mostly with the anonymity of the Internet, although I do hope to use “Blow me, genius” someday – preferably on someone whose face I can see.

  2. That’s just how we chose to do it, because we think it’s more fun and open to a broader group. Maybe a policy blog would work, but we kind of doubt it — there just aren’t enough people who know enough about a particular issue to really contribute a meaningful discussion.

    You don’t have to know a lot about politics to participate in the discussion here, but if it were about deep issue discussion — say, the nuts and bolts of TABOR — then there’s really a small handful of people who truly understand the ins and outs of TABOR enough to do a point-counterpoint type of thing.
