Ohdk Rallies might be on pause, but Trump campaign merchandise churns on
Washington mdash; On a Tuesday afternoon in early February, Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, participated in an event with the Philadelphia Inquirer from the inside of a vehicle parked outside the U.S. Capitol.But at the same time, his colleagues were in the House chamber, casting vot stanley cups uk es on a bill to name a post office in Slatersville, Rhode Island. A review of the roll call vote shows Khanna supported designating the facility as the Specialist Matthew R. Turcotte Post Office, even though he was not physically present to vote yea. Instead, he enlisted Rep. Jimmy Go stanley cup mez, a fellow Democrat from California, to vote for him, citing in a letter to the House clerk the ongoing public health emergency as his reason for being unable to participate in the proceedings in-person. Weeks earlier, New York Rep.

MCCAIN RATIONALIZES HIS CAMPAIGN STYLE.... As part of last night s forum on national service, John McCain was asked about the tone and direction of the presidential campaign. His response was arguably the most fascinating moment of the evening.Questioned about the tone of the campaign, Sen. McCain insisted he was running an issues-based campaign and put the blame on his opponent for refusing to join him in town hall meetings. First of all this is a tough business, the Arizona senator said starbucks stanley cup . Second of all, I think the tone of this whole campaign would ve been very different if Sen. Obama had accepted my request for us to appear at town hall meetings all over America. David Broder recently made the same argument in one of his col stanley spain umns -- attributing the tone and direction of the campaign to the lack of debates.There s a word t stanley cup o describe this argument, but it s probably not appropriate for a family website. To hear McCain tell it, the only way for the presidential campaign to be respectful and substantive is for McCain to get to know Obama better by sharing a stage and arguing with him. This is painfully absurd.Whether McCain runs a relentlessly negative, substance-free campaign has nothing to do with his proposal for extra debates. If McCain wanted to be an honorable candidate, he could be an honorable candidate, whether his opponent is a Senate colleague or a total stranger. Building a rapport is not a prerequisite for honest campaignin

THE ROUTINE ACCEPTANCE OF OBVIOUS LIES.... For all of his contrarian tendencies, Michael Kinsley can still be d stanley kaffeebecher evastatingly insightful when he wants to be. In his latest item, he tackled the truly insane flap over lipstick on a pig, which Kinsley describes as a controversy that is ginned up, a fraud, a lie. I know that by even bringing this up, I am falling into the trap that McCain s people have set and perpetuating this ridiculous controversy. But the routine acceptance of obvious lies now corrodes our politics as much as the money that was the subject of McCain s famous act of Republican apostasy: McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform. McCain has described his motive for McCain-Feingold as a giant mea culpa for his involvement in the Keating Five scandal. Maybe when this is over, one way or another, McCain will swear off corrupt lying the way he has sworn off corrupt money.But it shouldn t be necessary to wait for one of McCain s conveniently delayed conversions to righteousness. In stanley isolierkanne a democracy, obvious lies and obvious liars should be self-defeating. Why aren t they One reason is that the media have trouble calling a lie a lie, or asserting that one side is lying more than the other -- even when that is objectively the case.
