To me Purple People are those of us who are neither Republican Red nor Democrat Blue; we find ourselves in between. The internet often represents those on the far left or the far right; this site is for those of us in the middle.
Since there are a variety of non-conformists that consider themselves Independents, here's a clarification. The point of view of this blog is basically Realist/Libertarian light...
-Pro Small Government, bureaucracies tend to be wasteful and inefficient.
-Government should not be the morality police.
-Less waste, lower taxes. Taxes are okay if spent wisely. Roads and schools need funding. Be smart with my money and I won't complain.
-Government shouldn't babysit adults. Help kids and assist people who have serious problems, but stop trying to protect everyone from themselves.
-Foreign policy should be conducted by people with brains and experience. Think, don't be reckless and don't be politically motivated. Remember that the U.S. is not the only country in the world.
-Tone down the rhetoric and remember your manners. Play nicely and don't belittle people who disagree with you.
Moderates Also Welcomed
The media demands we elect Sen Obama as our next President. They will not settle for less.
Go McCain/Palin!
(I’m a former Hillary Democrat)
Have you seen the media jumping all over the ‘rape kit’ story. Turns out to be another nasty smear.
How has the media been sexist? Please provide examples of this. Without these examples you sound like a lot of right-wing talking heads, ie. rush Limbaugh - the hypocrite. who if he did not coin it, made the term “femi-nazi” familiar in familiar to many people.
I can’t believe you have FOX News up there. They are in the pockets of the Republican Party. Did you not see the interview with Palin. No hard questions at all.
You talk as if their is NO conservative radio or t.v programs or news.
Stop with the bias…..be in the middle like you said you want this blog to be.
It’s a resource, not an indictment.
It seems to me like you are criticizing Obama because all you put up are things that are negative towards him.
Also can we have some of that “resource” on McCain too.
Look what I’ve found…….
CBS violates its own Standards and Practice by altering transcript and video of McCain interview
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/07/23/cbs-violates-its-own-standards-and-practice-by-altering-online-transcript-of-mccain-interview/
But yea the media is totally in favor of Obama.
Again what a joke
Also their are plenty of other example of the so-called “Liberal media” showing favoritism for McCain.
Or should I say “Conservative media”.
FoxNews is in the Republican pockets for the most part
I will agree, however, McCain is outnumbered 3:1! at the least.
And they are absolutely blatant about it. You expect FoxNews to be.. and Keith Olberman, but CNN & ABC? Campbel Brown, the “Anti-Sarah” show. WOW!

Thanks Paul.
I emailed the FactCheck on their bias facts on Obama - they never responded back.
They are no longer a credible source, especially since I found out about Obama ties into the Anneberg connection.
Guys - there is a new voter id effort. Get this out and this is one way to fight ACORN.

This is not a time to elect someone thereby removing his “training wheels,” nor an individual with only a LEARNER’S PERMIT; these times are like driving in the mountains; I made that mistake when trying to help my eldest daughter in driving [took her into the Rockies for a lesson and she skidded of the road into a deep snowdrift!!] This is no time for insanity …. please, God!
IF Obama does have close ties with Bill Ayers, it will come out that he (Ayers) let his girl friend make bombs for him, killing herself and two others in the process! Not only a terrorist, but a real heel….
What we don’t hear a lot of is how the liberal elite views Sarah. I heard a very wealthy woman the other day refer to her as a “commoner”. THIS, and the fact that she’s a Christian, is the real reason they hate her.
Great job here giving us direction on how we can be heard. Have linked to you on my site.
Palin’s no mainstream Christian. She’s in the AOG dominionist cult.
ACORN’s flaw is they hire folks off of the street for $8/hr to register voters and it’s too easy for them to make up names rather than do the work. The GOP on the other hand purges lawful voters from the rolls and blocks the telephone systems of DNC offices (one did jail time for doing it for Forbes) on election day.
Clean up your own house before you caste aspersions at others.
It’s funny how you say that Obama hired ACORN (which he did not, but independent company that Obama paid hired them) but that doesn’t matter.
McCain is always talking about how he has volunteers that come out help him, but what he doesn’t say is that some of them are actually PAID that are told to say they are volunteers.
McCain’s campaign manager and chairman even say that on video tape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d98t2c2XZE
So this high road of “My campaign run with the help of true volunteers” that McCain likes to say……. DOES NOT EXIST!
Heavily - you are beyond a loser in your own right. This man is heavily involved in fraud and you are part of it. You are part of the most dirtiest campaign in history. If you lie down with a dirty dog you get fleas.
Only problem is that I think you have laid down with plenty of dirty dogs hence your perspective on candidates.
I hear what you’re saying Heavenly. You notice lacking along all the pseudohysterics about ACORN are concerns about the purges taking place in battleground states? ….
@ToddPT- I see…..I missed understood you before. Yea a lot people are putting emphasis on the ACORN thing, when in the past weeks the GOP has had their own troubles with ACTUAL voting fraud.
One guy in LA (who was hired by the GOP to get voters) lied to people saying that if they wanted a proposition (about stricter regulations on sex offenders) to pass they had to register as Republicans to able to vote on it. THAT’S VOTER FRAUD!
Another person in Nevada who owns a voter registration company (hired by the GOP) is being investigated by the FBI for allegations of tossing out hundreds of Democratic voters registrations that his company collected.
Also lets not forget the voter suppression that the Republican party has a history of doing.
@Sparky- I have a feeling that you hate women or you were hurt by them. Please don’t reflect your frustrations on to me because I have nothing that.
Sorry you better look again YOUR candidate is running the “dirtiest campaign” even other Republicans are attacking McCain on his dirty tactics.
Actually Heavily, I am a woman and frankly you are a sorry example of one. Quite a few of Democrats are not voting for your messiagh.
You are basically lookiing for someone to give you money. I work to hard and haven’t gotten far enough in my career to give you a handout.
By the way, you need to take a look at Asians for McCain. Most Asians work way to hard for their money to hand it over to someone who chooses not to work as hard.
You are also a sorry example of an Asian as well. They at least value why they are in America - living the American Dream called Freedom.
@Sparky- Do you have anything intelligent to add because all you seem to do is TRY to bash me.
If you really are a woman. YOU’RE the sorry accuse for a woman for bashing another woman for speaking her mind.
You know nothing about me, but yet you keep referring to me as if I am someone who is looking for an handout or someone who doesn’t work just because I am voting for Obama.
Now it would be wrong of me to say that you are a racist because you are voting for McCain, but I will not stoop that low unlike you.
Asian? What does that have to do…..Oh you mean my blog?
Mmmm I guess since you’ve seen my blog that means you know so much about me.
Again another example of your ignorance. Sparky if you do have a day job please don’t quit it because your detective work is not working.
Please don’t talk to me about living the American Dream. I am not someone fresh from off the boat. OK!
Fix on the media is equal ownership,giving us fair&
balanced news.Not news like it qas coming from the DNC.
Heavily, really - fresh off the boat. I actually didn’t state that, but if the shoe fits….
Lovely! Someone called heavenly doesn’t agree with you, and we get torrents of rude abuse. Really, the republican support has become disgusting. Anyone who disagrees is a fraud, a liar, a feminazi. Jeepers.
That statement on the masthead - “Tone down the rhetoric and remember your manners. Play nicely and don’t belittle people who disagree with you.”. Guess some people have a bit of trouble reading.
I’m not voting in this election. I’ll support the GOP when they learn to speak like decent people instead of just being foul. Christian Right? That’s not how Christians behave in my church.
