Yes, they are pandering to the people.

In what way? Is it pandering to repeat your principles and show how they
apply and show how they derive a correct course of action? I'm confused here.

Larry, give me a break.  You're much more intelligent that you are trying to
act here.  The LP is taking political advantage of the current crises to
promote themselves.

I don't see how you can possibly say that. It's a statement of position and
a request to the membership to take certain actions. Are you saying that if
I went to the DNC website I wouldn't see a similar statement?

I did, and there is

Are you saying that if I went to the GOP website that I wouldn't see a

Someone offline asked me how the LP felt about this. I felt it more
effective to answer this way than to them alone. I've done that several
times now... someone offline sent me their feelings about the tragedy and I
encouraged THEM to post here instead so everyone in our community could share.

If that's not pandering, then I don't know what is.

I guess you don't know what pandering is, then... In fact maybe you don't
know what you're talking about at all, with respect to this. That's
understandable, you're pretty close to the epicenter and can't be expected
to be 100% rational.

Hey: I'll give the LP statement this much (and beyond this I just don't care what else they said) -- it suggests a course of action that is a hell of a lot more reasonable than what many here have been offering up of late. It suggests we make a very (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Larry, you never cease to amaze me with the insults you will throw out at anyone who disagrees with you. Pandering - catering to the tastes and desires of others; exploiting their weaknesses. The LP is jumping on a crises situation to promote (...) (23 years ago, 15-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
