The Undecideds - what are they waiting for?
Author: BobR
Date: 10/31/2008 12:37:31
I read an article this morning that said 1 in 7 voters are still "persuadable" in this election. That means that 14% of likely voters are still not sure who they're going to vote for on Tuesday. What makes them undecided?
In the interest of preserving the public good, let's see if we can persuade these folks to do the right thing....
Taxes:
Unless the person's family earns more than $200k/yr, they will get a better tax deal under Obama. This has been confirmed by independent economists (Washington Post graphic and Parade Magazine article).
Economy:
The Economist magazine endorsed Barack Obama. Considering that the magazine is about - you know, the economy - that should count for something on this particular subject. There's also this interesting read about why raising taxes on the rich is good for the economy. Finally, Obama is more likely to end the war sooner, and the money currently spent could be better used here at home.
Health care:
As a recent article confirms, over 50% of doctors actually support a Universal Healthcare Plan (you know - that dirty word that conservative pundits equate to socialism and poor healthcare?). The AMA hasn't recommended either one, but according to several experts, Obama's healthcare plan would be better for the economy. Here's a comparison of Obama's and McCain's healthcare plans. The AMA does give an unbiased description of Obama's plan.
Abortion:
Obama has gotten recommendations from NOW and NARAL. However, if you are against legal and safe abortion, then McCain might be your better choice (Palin definitely - she wants to outlaw ALL abortion). Let's not forget McCain's snarkiness about a "woman's health". Any dissafected Hillary voters should look at their uterus (or their loved one's) and say goodbye to any control over it if they vote McCain.
Gun Control:
Barack Obama describes his positions on numerous topics on his website. Gun control isn't one of them, which says that he won't be focusing on that at all, so you can relax your grip on that rifle. FWIW - Gun ownership rights aren't discussed on McCain's page either, so protecting those rights aren't really in his sights either.
Race:
If this is a problem, then YOU have a problem. Hell, he's half white. Vote for the white half.
Honesty:
This should only be a problem for voters leaning towards McCain. His constantly changing views on nearly everything have to make one wonder if he believes half of what he says. Here is a great master list of his changing positions, but there are numerous other sites as well.
I am still amazed that this late in a campaign that has shown such stark differences between candidates that there are still undecideds. If you didn't see it, I recommend watching the Obama infomercial. It really shows why he wants to be president, and why he is what our country needs right now.
This my last blog before the election, and I'm asking all of you to vote for Barack Obama.
Not for me - for OUR country.
Asked where they disagree with Obama, changeable voters most frequently mention taxes and the economy, health care, abortion and social issues such as gun control, and personal traits including his race and his honesty. For McCain, it's the economy and taxes, health care, foreign policy and abortion.

So I was all ready with an awesome and SCARY costume idea.. Yours truly dressed up as Sarah Palin.
The only problem was I couldn't find a $150k red dress in a mens size 46-48.. :lol:

Say gang, since it is Halloween, and Your Loyal TriSec is here not that many miles away from the Witch City (Salem, MA), I suppose I should post the brief story of the Official Blog Martyr, one Mr. Giles Corey.
(And on a side note, I have no idea how Mr. Corey got this prestigious position; I just think it's kinda cool that he was pressed to death with large rocks. But that's just me.)
Happy Halloween, everyone!
(And on a side note, I have no idea how Mr. Corey got this prestigious position; I just think it's kinda cool that he was pressed to death with large rocks. But that's just me.)
Giles Corey was arrested on April 18, 1692, along with Mary Warren, Abigail Hobbs, and Bridget Bishop. The following day, they were examined by the authorities, during which Abigail Hobbs confessed to Giles being a wizard.
The court ordered Corey's hands to be tied, and they asked him if it were not enough to "act witchcraft at other times, but must you do it now in face of authority?" He replied, "I am a poor creature and cannot help it." Again, a magistrate exclaimed, "Why do you tell such wicked lies against witnesses?" One of his hands was loosed and the girls were afflicted. He held his head on side, and the heads of the afflicted were held on one side. He drew in his cheeks, and the cheeks of the afflicted were sucked in.
Corey refused to plead (guilty or not guilty), was committed to jail and subsequently arraigned at the September sitting of the court.
As a result of his refusal to plead, on September 17, Sheriff Jonathan Corwin led Corey to a pit in the open field beside the jail and in accordance with the above process, before the Court and witnesses, stripped Giles of his clothing, laid him on the ground in the pit, and placed boards on his chest. Six men then lifted heavy stones, placing them one by one, on his stomach and chest. Giles Corey did not cry out, let alone make a plea.
After two days, Giles was asked three times to plead innocent or guilty to witchcraft. Each time he replied "more weight". More and more rocks were piled onto him, and the Sheriff, from time to time, would stand on the boulders staring down at Corey's bulging eyes. Robert Calef, who was a witness along with other townsfolk, later said, "in the pressing, Giles Corey's tongue was pressed out of his mouth; the Sheriff, with his cane, forced it in again".
Three mouthfuls of bread and water were fed to the old man during his many hours of pain. Finally, Giles Corey cried out at Sheriff Corwin, "More weight" and died.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

Hey Tri - one of these days I'm getting up there to finally see Boston and Salem and all.
Didn't the whole witch trial thing start because of land disputes between upper and lower Salem?

Interesting anecdote about current day Salem..
There is an effort under way to open a Lizzie Borden museum in Salem, however there are two popular movements against it - one by the citizens of Salem who are already a bit peeved at all the traffic created by the whole witching mystique, and the other by the citizens ofFall RiverNew Bedford who think the museum should be opened in the city where Lizzie resided!

But New Bedford already has the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast and Museum....which is the actual house where the crimes were committed.

Well, I would highly disagree with this list, he doesn't seem to have anything earlier than 1970's or so. Where, if you can watch some of the old one's without comparing them to modern CGI and effects that have advanced in film. For example: Day of the Dead is very scary, yet the zombies, by today's standards, are weak. Still very scary. Nosferatu (1922) was also chilling, and I'd put that on the list.

I thought Blair Witch was really freaky too - I think it helped to let myself really get into the website and all the stuff outside of the movie.
Night of the Living Dead still a scary movie to me.
But there was no mention of the original Halloween or Friday the 13th. Ya, I know their slasher films but the first and the in the case or Friday the second have really good stories. For that matter Nightmare on Elm Street is great too.
But I want to know where are the William Castle films for that list.

I think The Shining is truly an amazing film. It's a slow build to a chilling climax (no pun intended... okay, yes it was).
I had a freakout moment when I saw Silence of the Lambs. It was summer, and right in the middle of the basement night vision scene, lightning struck a transformer right outside the theatre. It was BOOM! and the lights went out.

Interesting - its been a while since I watched it might have to site down a view it one dark night
Psycho isn't scary in the typical sense of the word. But, I always watch it with my shoulders up around my ears.

If you sit down to watch it knowing it's fiction, it's not scary at all. When we went, it was being marketed as non-fiction, so by the time you realized "wait a minute - this can't be real", you were already sucked in.

Regarding Arizona, having visited the Phoenix/Flagstaff/Grand Canyon corridor...it's all made up of transplants, mostly from the Northeast through Midwest. There's very few "native" Arizonans.
The question is, do the liberal Northeasterners outnumber the conservative Midwesterners?

I've seen both the original version and the recent remake with Vince Vaughn & Anne Heche, and lemme tell ya after seeing the remake you REALLY get a better appreciation for the old one. It's SO much better.
And you've gotta take into account when these movies were made, and Hitchcock's style. You get a better feel for it if you seen some of his other movies (I'll recommend Vertigo and Rear Window).

The original films in all the "supernatural teen slasher" franchises were all pretty good (particularly "Nightmare on Elm St."), but they got increasingly ridiculous as the sequels piled up.

Great post - here's one of my favorite quotes about undecided voters:
"I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want alot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?' To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

Ok... Regarding Sarah's Son in the service...
he went off to boot camp on 9/11 --- IF he is even OUT of training, I seriously Doubt that he is in Iraq yet.
It may be splitting hairs, but Sarah has been saying her son is serving IN IRAQ, and I don't think he has even left the states yet.

The movie "The Haunting" (the old B&W one) was pretty creepy. The remake with Lili Tayler was crap.

Sorry, the Kubrick/Nicholson The Shining sucks ass, blows goats for a nickel and gives change. Why does Danny talk to his thumb? Why did Kubrick make Wendy such a wimp? She isn't, she is a strong woman. Dick Hallorann was practically written out of the movie. Umm he is very important to the story. I could go on. The 1997 ABC mini-series version much better and creepier. All the flaws I mentioned have been corrected.

I think The Shining is truly an amazing film. It's a slow build to a chilling climax (no pun intended... okay, yes it was).
I had a freakout moment when I saw Silence of the Lambs. It was summer, and right in the middle of the basement night vision scene, lightning struck a transformer right outside the theatre. It was BOOM! and the lights went out.

Heya Kiddos,
I just got back from voting - it only took about an hour and a half and the weather is loverly here in Tulsa today, so standing outside in a long was no problema, amigos. I voted early so that I will be available all day Tuesday to drive Democrats to the polls. I am taking suggestions from this brain trust as to which subtle questions I can pose to these unassuming potential voters to determine that they are indeed voting for Obama and Rice and all other down-ticket Dems. I thought about welcoming them with a sparklie "Guys and Gals" and see if they wince, or open the door and say something along the lines of "glad you are voting today, my friends" and watch their reaction. Or I could be a skosh more obvious and remark that "global warming is a bunch of hooey," and if they agree, then I drop them off at the nearest Denny's and tell them to call a cab
Any bright ideas welcome.
Cheers,
mfaye

As a parent of a food-allergy child, you'd be surprised how much candy they're allergic to.
Even more amazing is the volume of candy that seems to be his papa's favorites...
Ah, but on a more serious note, Javi is only mildly allergic to tree nuts (re: no Almond Joys). Peanuts are OK. But one of my friends has a nephew so sensitive to peanuts that he can't eat any manufactured foods; every assembly line uses food-grade peanut oil as a lubricant, and that trace amount is enough to set him off.

The Republican is outwardly confident, but there's urgency in his voice as he tours North Georgia, trying to boost turnout in his predominately white base: "The other folks are voting," he bluntly tells supporters.

That's right -- the future of America depends on her being able to tell lies about Barack Obama.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are REALLY TRULY trying to take down free speech in America by intimidation.
Seriously... they keep whining about how they are being misrepresented, in a feeble attempt to intimidate them, and then they only make themselves look worse...
Of ALL the hornet's nests to poske at... they are going after the MEdia -- for all it's flaws... it's still the fourth estate...

Allow me to settle this:
Kubricks version is visually stunning and indeed had more suspense, but the acting and story were weak. Jack being the exception. As a rule, Kubrick has always worked better with the film stock than with the "talent".
The remake had a much better story and the acting was quite good. But too long! Never let a author try his hand at directing or editing. Never let a director edit. (This is why those "director's cut" DVD versions almost always suck!)

The 1997 ABC mini-series version much better and creepier. All the flaws I mentioned have been corrected.
Are you kidding me? The remake was b-o-r-i-n-g. I don't care if it was closer to the book. The Kubrick film was visually far superior, and had more suspense and chills.
We shall agree to disagree. :coughKubrickversionstillsuckscough:

1. Nicholson over acted all over the place. If you watch the picture in slo mo on your DVD mosheen, you can actually see him biting huge chunks out of the set. Not as bad as say Shirley McClain in "Terms of Endearment," but close.
2. Steven King didn't direct or edit the mini-series. He just wrote the screen play.

Its not a remake. An it isn't too long. They are called mini-series for a reason.
