Political parties lack leaders,
avoid issues, columnist says
By Sandy Johnstone
CM Hm Emtctld
Oregon is politically leaderless,, according
to Oregonian Columnist Russell Sadler.
The Democrats have no comprehensive
plan and are simply justifiying what they have
done in the past while the Republicans are
unable to gain enough power to run the state,
he said.
Sadler spoke Tuesday as part of the Robert
Taft Institute of Government seminar being
held at the University. The seminar is aimed
mainly at social studies teachers and political
scientists.
Sadler said that while House Speaker Grat
ton Kerrans has shown “political maturity,”
Senate Pres. Ed Fadeley had been "disappoin
ting. And there’s been no one at the wheel in
the governor’s office for years.”
Atiyeh is a good administrator, but he is
not rallying public opinion into a cohesive
policy, Sadler said.
The property tax relief problem would pro
bably be easier to solve now if the guber
natorial election had addressed the issue in
stead of concentrating on personalities, he
said. Instead the candidates got involved in a
“vicious" race.
The mud slinging started after a political
poll done by Gov. Vic Atiyeh’s campaign
discovered that challenger Ted Kulongoski did
not have a strong image in the state. Then
Atiyeh's campaign concentrated on creating a
perception — or misperception, Sadler said.
“With name-calling, the whole purpose of
the political campaign is changed,” he said.
The campaign becomes less substantive, with
the focus diverted from the issues, he said.
“The advice candidates are getting is don't
commit yourselves to anything of substance,"
Sadler said. “I cover a helluva lot of speeches
that have nothing in them. I’m there because
they might say something. What’s the alter
native? Get around them with a column.”
Many of the problems in politics are
results of the decline of political parties, he
said.
“The parties were able to govern," Sadler
said. “The present system does not.”
“Now there is no cohesive umbrella that
reflects enough of the compromises necessary
to run the country,” he said. Congressmen are
swayed by individual interest groups and "no
one is enforcing a consistent philosophy
anymore.”
Besides losing the monopoly on the
nomination system when primary elections
became popular, political parties have been
unable to adequately fund and organize the
manpower to run campaigns.
Candidates have recently been relying on
their own organization to run the campaign and
Political Action Committees to gain funding.
“PACs are the death knell for political par
ties," he said.
But the problems of political parties can
not be blamed on the media, Sadler said.
“There is some implication we (the media)
have some control over the political process,”
he said. “We do not.”
The media’s coverage of the presidential
campaign is all based on a simple premise, he
said — “we're afraid we might miss
something."
The fear goes back to 1964, when Barry
Goldwater won the Republican nomination
because he “sewed up the delegates” and “the
media missed the story.”
“That’s failure in this business,” he said.
The only bias journalists may have is for
realistic candidates.
“After covering a few presidential cam
paigns it becomes clear what the people who
won had to do to win and it becomes clear who
has the organization and ability to win,” Sadler
said.
Candidates must have more than great
ideas — they must have a good organization
and ample money, he said.
“The media couldn’t have squelched
Reagan if we tried," he said, pointing to
Reagan’s “formidable” organization and his
“liberal” financing.
People need the media because the media
looks at the news objectively and tries to be
fair, mainly because they usually have little
economic interest in the outcome, Sadler said.
Sensationalism in the media died with
Hearst, he said. “This is WASP (white Anglo
Saxon Protestant) country and we are offended
by sensationalism. No one reporter is expected
to maintain readership.
