S. Dakota GOP Ad: The Down-Home Farm Girl vs. the Effete Tree Hugging Librul

Appealing to the dumb
Politics • Views: 30,964

Presented for amusement and dissection, the Republican Party of South Dakota (SDGOP) has created this web ad exploring the differences between the state’s Congressional candidates — the family values farm-loving South Dakota girl versus the suspiciously worldly tree-hugging environmentalist librul.

Right wing anti-intellectualism writ large, with flashy 90° angled captions and a zooming high tech map to impress the rubes.

Hmm. One is advocating for measures that will impact farming in the Dakotas, measures that could reduce the years of drought in the area, and the other is contributing to her own eventual downfall as a farmer.

No, just something that is in favor of the stay-at-home farmer over the longer-term student / globe trotter. I can't say if it will be effective or not, since I'm not from South Dakota's rural milieu.

Edward Perry "Ed" Bass (born September 10, 1945)[4] is a businessman, financier, philanthropist, and environmentalist who lives in Fort Worth, Texas. He financed the Biosphere 2 project, an artificial closed ecological system, which was built between 1987 and 1991. He is the chairman of Fine Line, an investment and venture-capital management firm in Fort Worth,[5] and president of the board of directors of the Sid W.

[...]

Romney could be assured that Democrats would work to defeat him as hard as Republicans worked against Obama is if he were to adopt the reactionary agenda of the most extreme elements of the Republican Party. Romney had to tack to the right during the primary season. Since then, he has recalibrated his campaign to focus on his concern for the middle class, and that is believable if the real Mitt Romney is the one on display as governor of Massachusetts who passed a health care reform plan that became the model for the one passed by Congress.

Romney should not squander an opportunity to build consensus in Washington by wasting time on issues that animate many in his party. We cannot rewind the clock on progress for minorities, women, gays and lesbians. We must make it easier for immigrants to come here to live and work legally and stop making criminals of those who are living here lawfully, paying taxes and raising families. The federal government must continue to insist on clean air and water and encourage clean and renewable energy.

Put a cap on the amount of CO2 that can be produced in a given area.
Apportion it out among a number of companies.
If a company reduces its carbon footprint, then it has credits it can sell.
If a company needs to produce more CO2, then it can purchase the credits from the previous company.
Allow those companies to purchase credits from companies with a negative footprint.

Sounds kind of like the stock market.

After a few years start reducing the value in terms of CO2 of the credits.
Sounds like a workable idea to me.

Remember James Corbett, the teacher in OC?

For State Assembly District 73, San Clemente teacher James Corbett is challenging the incumbent, Dana Point Republican Diane Harkey.

Corbett is best known for his involvement in a 2007 lawsuit while he taught at Capistrano Valley High School. Corbett allegedly disparaged creationism during a lecture, which prompted a lawsuit by a Christian student. The student initially won his suit against the Capistrano Unified School District in Federal District Court, but the suit was overturned on appeal. As a candidate, he has stated that he would champion equalization of state education funding, noting the funding problems of CUSD in recent years.

Harkey currently serves as vice-chair of both the Assembly Committee on Appropriations and Revenue and Taxation Committee. She has recently spoken out against state funding of high-speed rail projects, and has promised to introduce a bill to de-fund the program in January if re-elected. She also serves on the Assembly Committee on Public Employees Retirement System and Social Security, the Assembly Select Committee on Biotechnology and the Banking and Finance Committee and Budget Committee.

Given the nature of OC I doubt that Corbett has a chance to win.

The campaign trail in Florida had a scary moment today:

Marco Rubio's daughter hospitalized after vehicle accident

Sen. Marco Rubio's 12 year-old-daughter is in stable condition after being hospitalized Saturday following a vehicle accident, Rubio's office said in a statement.

Rubio learned of the accident after speaking at a campaign event for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in Kissimmee, Florida, his office said.

His daughter, Amanda, was airlifted from the Miami accident to a local hospital, Rubio’s office said.

Amanda is expected to remain at the hospital overnight for observation, CNN contributor Ana Navarro said. The accident involved a golf cart, said Navarro, who is a friend of the family.

The senator from Florida had been traveling aboard the Romney campaign bus when the bus pulled over shortly before 7 p.m. ET. Rubio exited the bus and was driven away by a state trooper.

44: number of Sandy-related deaths tallied so far in Haiti.

200,000: number of homeless in Haiti due to the passage of Sandy.

960 mb: Sandy's current barometric pressure.

450: radius in nautical miles of Sandy's tropical storm-force winds. (For visualization purposes: if the storm were perfectly symmetrical and its center made landfall in Cape May, NJ, winds of tropical storm strength would be felt from Charleston, SC, northward to Kennebunkport, ME.)

7 - 10: the number of days many people in parts of the Northeast may be without power.
