Since When is Disagreeing With Issues "Negative Attacks"

It is amazing to me how political correctness has seeped into voter's brains.

Now, one is no longer to take a position opposed another candidate without first checking to see if it is somehow hurtful. The voter's I've observed who are taking [art in the caucuses really scare me. When asked by Pollster's to give the reasons for selecting one candidate over another (a) they don't like anyone who has "turned negetive" and (b) they must look, speak and act presidential--there is little regard for substance.

This is more about "image" and " than anything else looks"

 Clinton: I can't make my wife look younger, taller, or like a man (I'll be charitable here)

Newscaster about Obama: he is a nice guy, appeals to youth (cuz he doesn't look old) and he is a terrific public speaker--again--not much is said about the substance of what he says--its' all about HOW he says it and WHAT he looks like.

The caucus voters scare the heck out of me and I do have an opinion. I truly believe that there are a lot of folks who should NOT vote. BECAUSE: they don't know the issues, wouldn't recognize an issue if they saw it and would be content to vote for the best looking, best sounding human being that will give them everything that they could ever want...

John:

This is true. Many of the Obama supporters are riding the hype.  There is no substantive material coming out in the media regarding Obama.

I think the political correctness is seeping into A.R. too.  If you state your opinion and it is not mainstream or its not secular, its considered to be hate speech.

Bill, this is true. I find this to be the case almost everywhere. You can't speak your mind without fearing you'll be offending someone's sensibilities--

There is no room for logical debate--it's all emotion. feeling  instead of thinking!

John, isn't it sad that we live in a time where political correctness has become so rampant.  Quite a number of months ago I was called on the table because I called my real estate mentor "a nice Christian lady" in a members only post here on AR.  We went back and forth and finally it was decided by AR that I did not violate fair housing.  The other agent did tell me when the discourse was done that I had not violated fair housing but I was not politically correct.  Oh well that is not even something I am striving for.
