No one has many any jokes about her screwing her constituents yet?!?!


Anyway, I don't see what the issue with this is. See's a porn star, oh noes! Think of the Children!!

She's not qualified! She's got no experience.

Big deal.

I mean, seriously, big deal.

Very few people, outside of those that have held a political office, have experience with a political office.

You can get political-esque apointments and jobs, but still.

If Ms. Daniels wants to run for the senate, let her.

Besides her celebrity and 'controversal' nature of her job, I don't see how this is even newsworthy.
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

to be fair, is there a government on earth that isn't a dysfunctional farce?

Chetry: And so what did you tell them when they were seeking answers about help with the foreclosure situation there, help with job losses? How are you telling them you’re going to be able to make their lives better?

Daniels: Well you have to remember this isn’t the actual campaign, this is the listening tour. So the whole idea of me going there yesterday was I was supposed to be asking the questions to them. I wanted to get their feedback so that I could decide what my platform was going to be on each of those topics.
You have to admire the honesty here. I mean, I think it is a telling sign of American politics that you can read that article and just pass this by. The fact that this hasn't been jumped on as a really bad bad thing is quite telling. I mean... let me boil this down to what essentially is being said:

Chetry: What are your policies?

Daniels: I don't know yet! I'm going to see what's popular!

Maybe if the conservative ideology put a roof overhead, food on the table, and employed the downtrodden the poor folk would be all for it, too". - Broomstick

The Finnish one. Sure, it has its problems, but by and large it works as advertised.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?
