"What's Good for Romney"

The New York Times

August 8, 2007

"The responses, while predictable, have been pretty amusing: “Mitt Romney, as you’ll recall, avoided combat duty in the rice fields of Vietnam by getting multiple deferments to perform his Mormon mission in the vineyards of France,” writes Jon Perr, at his Perrspectives blog..."

"Did Blog Comments Lead Feds to Raid Ex-Justice Lawyer in NSA Spy Leak Investigation?"

"Jon Perr has a great left-right rundown, and I particularly love the link to AJ Strata's post which leads the reader through a couple of internet searches and then deep into a rabbit hole of Soros-funded conspiracies tied together with the last name Tamm..."

"Culture War 2.0"

The Los Angeles Times

February 14, 2007

"Romney's religious beliefs, however, haven't caused as much of a stir as his brand-new rightward views on abortion and gay rights. It's tempting to say his views have evolved since Romney's Bay State heyday, but we want to give equal time to the theory that it was intelligent design..."

"Liberty and the Culture of Living"

The Oregonian

March 28, 2005

"Ours is -- or should be -- a culture that sees preserving individual autonomy as vital to liberty. Call it "the culture of living." It is a culture that values the privacy, personal freedom and unique path to happiness of each American. A woman's body and the decisions she and her partner make regarding their reproductive choices are no one's business but their own, and certainly not the government's. A society that values personal autonomy sees in emerging stem cell technologies the potential to free its members from the prospect of currently incurable diseases. As Oregonians have insisted, a "culture of living" does not condemn the terminally ill to the enslavement of their own bodies. And that culture certainly should respect the decision a woman freely made as to how and whether her life, no longer free, shall be continued."

"The Poor? They're Inconvenient"

The Philadelphia Daily News

February 15, 2005

"No wonder Jon Perr, a Democratic activist, has dubbed it the "Opt Out Society," in which the healthy and wealthy are not only allowed, but encouraged, to make their own side deals. If you already have enough assets for your retirement, you aren't worried about possibly losing guaranteed Social Security benefits in the stock market - and might make a profit."

"Google for President"

Slate

October 13, 2004

"Google apparently has a policy that bans ads that include "language that advocates against an individual, group or organization"—so attack ads won't fly. But the Google advertising department assured me that the kind of issue ads we're talking about here wouldn't violate their standard guidelines."

"Google's Haphazard Ad Policy"

The Nation

August 12, 2004

"One of the latest sites to fall victim to Google's advertising hatchet is the progressive website PERRspectives, which features political commentary and satire. Its ads were pulled in June; a Google representative told the owner that his site contains "unacceptable content." All three cases suggest that Google, in a move seemingly designed to placate potential corporate clients, has implemented a policy that goes too far in keeping advertisers from reaching the consumers who have made Google the most popular search engine on the Internet."

January 25, 2007

"According to a GOP insider, Mitt’s "point man on conservative outreach" is telling people that McCain’s a pro-choicer. That is poison to the religious right, obviously. UPDATE: But Romney himself is actually in favor of giving abortions to everybody...
