Occidental students confront a reality of political campaigns: defeat
[LATIMES] In which the privileged liberal artistes of Occidental College take a semester to campaign for Dems for credit, watch all--all!--go down in flames, get counseling.

#1  Let me guess; even though they all lost the eletion they each received an A in their election semester class.

I would be interested to know whether they were required to write an analytical assessment on why their candidate lost?

#2  they were required write an analytical assessment on why their candidate lost?

Here, let me assist:

"Long live Ho Chi Minh
The guiding light of the proletariat!
Long live Stalin
Peace grows in his shadow!
Kill, kill again, let your hands never stop
Lt fields and paddyfields produce rice in abundance
So that taxes can be paid at once
Let us march together with the same heart
So that the Party may last for ever
And build an eternal cult to Stalin."


Courtois, Werth, Panne, Paczrkowski, Bartosek, and Margolin, "Communism, Crimes, Terror, Repression" pp 571-572

Communism, it never lasts. It simply moves about finding new hosts with short memories.

#3  I don't think our representative government is broken, but I do think it's become less democratic and it's difficult to get good people in office. cause the people I wanted lost.


Truthered it for him.

#4  Why people that by defintion know little should be allowed to vote let alone engage in political activism?

Note: An Arab blogger asked his son: When do you become a man?". After much twisiting and reddening the teeenager answered: "The day you f.. for the first time". "No, my son, the day you pay your first facture".

So these never-do-wells are tring to help people who will raise taxes while they (the never do-wells) pay none and haven't paid their first facture". In the name of what?

#5  "All of the students worked for Democratic candidates;"

funny, that.

When it was clear Hagan was going to lose, Tieman began "gross-sobbing and ugly-crying."

awwww...speshul snowflake haz sads

#6  "said Joshua Wodka, a fifth-year senior" Bout says it all.
They should have taught them principles of integrity, national will, and principles of democracy instead of Chomsky and Marx. Then they would better understand democracy and what's at stake.

#7  When it was clear Hagan was going to lose, Tieman began "gross-sobbing and ugly-crying."

And it is people like that who in addition to never having paid a facture let alone taxes, have the emotional maturity of a two years old, who think they are enabled to tell people what to vote?

Shouldn't they wait until they no longer need pampers and baby bottles?

#8  Can they still get an A and fail vote stuffing?

#9  This group sounds like the first batch of corrupt DNA that needs removed from the gene pool.

#10  In the past, undergraduates have worked for such candidates as Mitt Romney and Linda Lingle, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for a Senate seat in Hawaii in 2012.

So maybe they just choose losers?

#11  I don't know whether to laugh, or lose faith in humanity.
Posted by: Charles || 12/01/2014 13:57 Comments || Top||

#12  Charles,
I pick all of the above.

#13  "I wanted to tell them, 'I'm here to be helpful,'" she said.

Ah, yes. I believe we've all heard that one...

#14  Everyone wants to win. However, losing often builds character more than winning. Hope that is true with these Occidental students.

#15  From choom-gloom to Occidental tourist
To Harvard Law's demurest jurist;
From Chicago's poorest
To the land of the purest,
They all hail Columbia's obscurest!

Clunk.
