- cobbwobbles, on 03/25/2008, -5/+34Americans want someone who can do a better job than the average American of being the leader of the free world. I think most people can safely say Bush did a worse job than the average joe would have.
- kd1s, on 03/25/2008, -6/+4I think you misspoke, you meant to say that Bush has done the WORST job.
- Adys, on 03/25/2008, -2/+9Ok, I'm not an US citizen or anywhere near this. But I'm still shocked by 24% americans wanting the same candidate. Nat3r does an excellent job a few comments under this showing what kind of person those 24% are.

- imeddy, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2[ being the leader of the free world ]
Sorry, but as a European I find that almost offensive. I agree with the rest of your comment though :)- LitttleKiwi, on 05/11/2008, -0/+0I agree with imeddy, Bush is not my leader or anyone else who is in the white house. Helen Clark is my leader not him but yes i do agree with what you said. He had preformed a decent job that others could have.
- theaceoffire, on 03/25/2008, -6/+14This feels obvious... since Bush has only 20 something support, then 80 something percent of the US doesn't want him (Or others like him).
- musicpyrite, on 03/25/2008, -1/+120 something% + 80 something% = 110% ?
- theaceoffire, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1Instead of assuming that both are equal to or greater to the numbers I suggested, assume that both are rough estimates that can fluctuate both above and below the numbers I supplied.
- silveravnt, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1Then why do we have 2 Bush's and an Obama still in the running for pres? Voters may say they don't want another Bush but they are voting for another Bush, John McBush.

- MikeFallopian, on 03/25/2008, -3/+8An election in which the Democrats shot themselves in the foot by fielding possibly the least likeable member of their entire party. They really are pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

- sulthernao, on 03/25/2008, -3/+17I agree, they're just "volunteers". I mean look at poor, poor President Bush, forced into the torturous job by the Supreme Court; he is the guy we should really be sympathizing with. Imagine all the pain and struggle Bush has to go through to piss off the libtards by taking away civil liberties, piss off the conservitards by spending like there's no tomorrow, and appease the rich and the neo-cons. *sigh* All in a hard days work...at his Texas Ranch.
- Terr01, on 03/25/2008, -3/+12Liberal: They're dying for no discernible strategic benefit. We need to work on an exit plan.
Conservative: They're dying, but with just a few more we'll get some discernible strategic benefit. I'm sure of it *this* time...
I'm not averse to serving my country, but I will not be joining the military or the national guard when the legal contracts are such that I would effectively sign myself up for a potential lifetime of slavery in the service of crass political goals I do not endorse.
(I'm not exaggerating much. Section 9b: The military owns your ass and everything in your contract is really just a "suggestion", since they can alter the contract in any way at any time and you can't do squat. See also: Sgt. Emiliano Santiago.) - moofer, on 03/25/2008, -1/+6Glad you're not a liberal - I sure as hell wouldn't want you speaking on my behalf. You make your point as eloquently as a 6th grade boy trying to impress his friends at the food court in the local mall.
- BobbyMC, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3I just don't get why anyone who thinks differently than us bothers to come here in the first place. I can't recall Digg ever raiding some right wing site, so you'd think they'd just leave it be instead of making our argument for us.

- matt70, on 03/25/2008, -6/+15But in the end, voters in some places will get scared because some liberal might legalize gay marriage or some other ridiculous thing and vote for four more years. McCain might send my job to China and give filthy rich people tax cuts and continue the war for a thousand years, but at least he doesn't support .
- apc3161, on 03/25/2008, -3/+5"McCain might send my job to China"
I hate McCain's stance on foreign policy. And as such I won't vote for him. But you should know that the companies that outsource the most are the largest job creators in this country. Go look it up. What do you think they do with all the savings from laying off employees in relatively non-productive domestic activities? They expand in areas that are productive.
And with regard to taxes, the answer isn't to tax the wealthy more, that will hurt our economy, whether you want to admit it or not. The answer is to simply tax the poor less. There is no reason a middle class earner should be paying 25%+ of their income in taxes.
If you go back and look at the tax code from when it was first initiated. You will see that adjusted for inflation, the tax exemption was almost $50,000. Thus no one who made that much money or less was intended to pay any taxes at all. Poor/Middle income people don't need the government taking care of them. They just need the government to stop taking 25%+ of their income every year to give away to special interests.
McCain's foreign policies are stupid, Obama is just using populist "the rich are the cause of our trouble" rhetoric, and H Clinton is just evil. All of the candidates have certain platforms that I like, but they also have platforms that I hate.
I'm personally going to either write in Ron Paul or vote for the libertarian candidate. The choices this year absolutely suck. - AlexWills, on 03/25/2008, -4/+5Filthy rich people? It's hate like this that created communism.
- TimDigg, on 03/25/2008, -2/+4cite a specific example....
- AlexWills, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2What else would you call someobody referring to rich people as filthy other than someone blinded with jealousy?
Marxist ideas were created in order to quash the upper class and make everyone "equal"... In other words, I'm jealous of my undeserving boss that makes more money than me so the government should take his money and give it to me. - matt70, on 03/25/2008, -2/+1Ummmm.filthy rich...that's an "expression," a "figure of speech." It's like saying you're "dirt poor." Oh no...now I'm a poor hater too. Give me a break.
Do you know the difference between first world nations and third world nations? It's called the middle class. Ours has been shrinking rapidly in the past 7 years and the gap between rich and poor is getter wider. If you want to prevent the kind of hate that created communism, you need to keep that middle class strong. While our corporations are getting corporate welfare, we have average citizens who cannot afford basic necessities in spite of working hard at one or more jobs. That's not a recipe for a happy America.

- forgiste, on 03/25/2008, -4/+5Hillary and McCain are good friends. In fact Hillary said that if they were the candidates it wouldn't be a competition. So clearly we're talkin' Obama.
- slashbot, on 03/25/2008, -18/+2McCain is different than Bush. The description is deliberately misleading when implying that the 76% think McCain is not different than Bush.
Buried as inaccurate.- muckemuck, on 03/25/2008, -2/+3ok smarty.. let's have your list of 5 ways McCain is different than Bush.
- SheilaNoya, on 03/25/2008, -2/+4McCain has already surrounded himself with all of Bush's cronies and he's vowed to continue Bush's insane policies. The only difference between the two is that McCain is just "temporarily" sucking up to the Evangelicals for their votes. If he's elected, he'll instantly kick them aside and tell them to ***** off. Other than that, McCain is just like Bush and he'll bankrupt our country borrowing money from Communist China to pay for more wars because he thinks the military is the ONLY solution to every problem we face.
- DiggLive, on 03/25/2008, -5/+65This just in: 24% of Americans are retarded.

- moofer, on 03/25/2008, -0/+7The difference? Retarded people can't help being retarded. These 24% are just too fat, stupid, and lazy to open a newspaper.
- Persian5Life, on 03/25/2008, -2/+10it reminds me of the south park episode when kyle proved that 1 in 4 people are retarded.

"Opposite of Bush, please"
"Different"
"Just like Bush!"

- bullcutter, on 03/25/2008, -2/+3hilarious!
are ALL wishy washy phoneybaloney career politicians who say one thing and do another now "independents"?
McCain supported the Dubai ports deal. Doesn't that also make him a frickin' America Hater? - aidave, on 03/25/2008, -1/+2"wild eyed latte sipping"
That actually is pretty funny. Are there coffee shops in America full of people like this? I kinda wanna see this with my own eyes!

- muckemuck, on 03/25/2008, -2/+2nope.. they voted.. just the Diebolds put the votes towards old John McCain. Take a look at how he did in the caucus states or in the hand counted counties. He didn't do too hot there.
- Persian5Life, on 03/25/2008, -6/+18i seriously believe that a high school student (10th grader) with no knowledge of politics and the economy would make a better president then Bush.
- malman4, on 03/25/2008, -12/+5Idiotic post........
- banmaster, on 03/25/2008, -3/+6For *****'s sake, a housebrick would make a better president than Bush!

- MikeFallopian, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4... and yet every legitimate poll out there has McCain either tied with or leading both Clinton and Obama in head-to-head matchups. Those polls don't have much bearing on the actual election, which is many months away, but it does seem to indicate that voters don't see McCain as being all that similar to Bush.
- muckemuck, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3 or.. just maybe.. those polls are complete BS and the media will soon use them to say "lookeee heere.. we have ourselves a nice close race (where a few percentage points of fraud will sway the election) so you better get out there and ONLY vote for one of these two otherwise your vote is WASTED." .. and what do you know.. those polls will be accurate.
- MikeFallopian, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1I could lecture you on the free market and on how polling companies need to be as accurate as possible to survive. But I have a feeling it would just fall on deaf ears; conspiracy theories about the evil MSM are much more exciting.

- cobbwobbles, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0dugg for rofl
- Soyea, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4Ok like we in this country have a lot to pick from.And no Obama isn't the answer.the economy is the main issue, the answer isn't more government give aways. the answer is creating good jobs, the priority should be in manufacturing jobs. would be nice to see someone in DC stand up and say hey you out score jobs from this nation to another you loose the right to sell that product here.
Opening the boarders is another "not the answer" to immigration no matter how many votes they think it would buy. it's not worth giving the nation away for it.
At the same time we still need to keep and have a strong national defense.
Really though the federal reserve wants very much for us to move to amero and the only way they can do that is buy killing off the dollar.making it so worthless that we the people start screaming for the change. isn't it funny that in this country our money supply is run by people who are not elected, they are there own they answer to no one. yet they have so much power.
The mistake was back in the 1970's when the boys and girls in DC decided that we would no longer gage the dollar by what we have in gold reserves. on that day Americans lost total control over monetary supply's.
What bush as destroyed the next guy"or girl" will give whats left away.
personally on the armed service side, I say close down all of our bases overseas, pull out of Iraq, Pull our troops out of Korea, and place them on our boarders,Ops sorry that just gave me away as a raciest, so be it- mattmedwards, on 03/25/2008, -2/+0The government can't directly create jobs - the market does this. What do you propose they do to create manufacturing jobs? Open a government auto plant? Don't you think that if the demand for a manufactured good exists the market would respond to this demand? And why, specifically, manufacturing jobs?
Immigration is a hotly debated topic so I could bring up several points here, but I will limit it to two:
1.) If there is any hope of maintaining the solvency of our entitlement programs (Social Security and Medicare), immigration will be absolutely necessary. The increased tax revenues from an influx of workers will help carry us through the demographic bulge of the Baby Boomers - although this is not a magic bullet.
2.) On a personal note: my best friend is an illegal immigrant. He came here from Kenya ten years ago on a work visa, which did not get renewed this year due to the overwhelming backlog of DHS immigration cases. Like most immigrants, he is an extremely hard working, law abiding, tax-paying illegal alien. He lives a frugal lifestyle and sends money home to Kenya to support his extended family. In his spare time, he also wrote and self-published a book. This man encompasses the American values hard work and entrepreneurship in a way that I never could because he really WANTS it. I believe the majority of immigrants embrace this attitude and undergo great sacrifice to come here. Many of us depend on illegal immigrants every single day in order to maintain the lifestyle we enjoy. We are not "giving the nation away to immigrants." In fact, for generations, immigrants have built this country and have contributed greatly to our culture. So the solution to the immigration problem, I think, lies somewhere between completely sealing down our borders and leaving them wide open for anyone to get through.
Strong national defense - I agree with you on this point.
Despite what Ron Paul might insist, returning to a gold standard is simply impractical, and even if it were a politically viable option, it would be a disaster. Having a flexible currency not tied to a limited commodity is necessary in a fast moving global economy, which has long since abandoned the gold standard. In fact, many economists have argued quite convincingly that the reason the Great Depression was so "Great" was, in part, due to our strict adherence to the gold standard - ie there was no way to create much needed liquidity when the economy needed it most. Could you imagine confronting an expensive crisis without enough gold in our coffers? What would have happened in WWII if we just said "oh not enough gold sorry guys!" While I agree that the Fed and Wall Street have been doing a poor job at maintaining the value of the dollar, the real long term risk to our currency lies in the unfunded liabilities of our entitlement programs. Dr. Paul would agree with me on this one. This is an open secret in Washington, but it is political suicide to try and mess with Social Security and Medicare. Just my 2 hyperinflated cents.

- TexMachina, on 03/25/2008, -2/+2They are all different from Bush, even McCain. In fact McCain is so different from Bush that a lot of Republicans would rather have Hillary. Who if you look at her voting record is more like Bush than McCain.

- Arcueid01, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1Well I am sorry then because Clinton, McCain, and Obama won't do anything different. I hate to tell you all that. Obama is the lesser of the evils, however, he has the idea wrong. We don't need bigger government, it is what got us in this mess in the first place and Obama has no intention on limiting the size of the Federal Government.
- IronDonut, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1You know... if he doesn't start any more wars under a false pretense. If he doesn't wipe his ass with the Bill of Rights. If he gains just the smallest amount of international respect back for the USA. I think we'll be moving in a lot better direction.

- ladalang, on 03/25/2008, -1/+2Obama, Hillary and McCain are Bush all over again, same puppet master, Industrial Complex.

- diggrnumber1, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2in other news, 23.99% of Americans are idiots (the other 0.01% are wealthy capitalists that have benefited from Bush's policies)
- 2600dblzero, on 03/25/2008, -2/+0I am always amazed at how people seem to think that the president is somehow a king. President's do not make law. They outline policies they want and get congress to create the laws. The pres can veto and the congress can over-ride. We have a dem controlled senate that has not done anything in it put forth it was going to do and has a favorable rating lower than the president. Having said that the climate is not advantageous for a liberal candidate such as Clinton. And sorry the country is not ready for a Marxist either who using the same lines that Lenin and his great speech writer Kerensky used that led to 55 million deaths. And yes the closeness of McCain to Bush is not a good thing but he is closest to the center of all the candidates and people want that anchor of someone who that would resemble their views and convictions.
It's not Wright's comments that are so disconcerting about Obama as the fact is what is going to stop him from converting to Islam once he has the White House?- cobbwobbles, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0chew on lead toys much as a child?

- milican, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1No they don't. They elected John McCain on the Republican side.
JOhn - SwedishNinja, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1I'm probably the first person who's said this, but poor McCain. He's centrist which means he gets attacked by conservatives for being too liberal and he's flamed by liberals for being a war monger.
I'm starting to think the movie "No Country for Old Men" was about the poor senior citizen. :(- mattmedwards, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0McCain's centrism may be a liability now, but it will perhaps be his greatest asset during the general election. GOP party stalwarts think he is too liberal, but they will eventually vote for him over Obama. His right of center politics will be key in capturing swing voters. People who are for a strong national defense, lower taxes, smaller government, and don't freak out about gays or evolution will likely vote for him.
- nick111, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1That's still less than the number of Europeans who thought voting for him was a ***** stupid thing to do... before the last election.
Jesus, it's like watching a snail-race. - Ruger11mcrdpi, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1After the current administration... does anyone else feel like I do; that I'm going to pay a LOT more attention to the nominee's vice-president selection that I ever had before. Lest we have another....
- NelsonR, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0The intelligent American electorate voted for that upstanding, all knowing decisive leader Bush not once but twice. What do I expect them to do this time, before I can answer that I need help, psst. who's the worst of the worst candidate? O.K. that's the one they will elect.
- macinit1138, on 03/25/2008, -0/+176% of Americans to be shocked when they get someone just a bad yet again because no accountability was ever held on the crew that worked there before. Can't wait to see the excuses from the next un-elected figurehead to the regime, on why the Constitution won't get restored and why we must embrace more personal sacrifice for their ever growing greed. yawn...
