Year: —8.

An outgoing president has escalated a long conflict into full-blown war, ultimately to popular displeasure. He is not seeking re-election. His party rejects its anti-war wing and nominates a “stay the course” candidate.

The opposing party nominates, and elects, a candidate running on nebulous “new leadership will end the war and win the peace” rhetoric.

The new president introduces “bold” economic policies, including wage controls.

1968 or 2008?

LBJ or GWB?

Eugene McCarthy or Ron Paul?

Richard Nixon or Barack Obama?

The more things change …

Same guy? Think about it … ever seen’em together?

Blog is campaign plus other thoughts. Campaign is blog plus other actions. The other thing to say is that his campaign is more than just his blog, too.

Blog is campaign plus other thoughts.

Campaign is blog plus other actions.

Knapp Sat, 07 Feb 2009 22:57:33 +0000 http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/?p=6730#comment-39811 Saying that my blog is my campaign site isn't the same as saying that my blog is NOTHING BUT my campaign site. It's also my blog. Material there is only intended to be campaign-specific if it's labeled/tagged "Knapp 2012." That said, I wouldn't publish anything on my blog that I wanted to distance myself from as a candidate. Of the three items you cover, two relate to issues that are important to me (debt repudiation and ending marriage apartheid) and the third happens to be about my campaign chief of staff, Darcy Richardson (although it doesn't pertain much to the fact that he's my campaign chief of staff). So cool, and thanks! Regards, Tom Knapp Saying that my blog is my campaign site isn’t the same as saying that my blog is NOTHING BUT my campaign site. It’s also my blog.
