- teichenauer, on 01/13/2008, -17/+2Yes, we must break the gridlock, because those minority Republicans are holding up socialized medicine!
- Gavagai80, on 01/13/2008, -0/+7That people are being killed by the gridlock is a good reason to break it, yes.
- teichenauer, on 01/15/2008, -0/+1Except for the fact that when it comes to funding the continued occupation of Iraq, there is little gridlock at all, just lots of dollars for lots of tanks and bullets and contracted dinner halls.

- libertao, on 01/13/2008, -0/+6Given your loose definition of socialized medicine we already have it in the form of medicare/medicaid.
Really though, the deadlock must be broken over climate change and Iraq.- teichenauer, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1There is no deadlock over Iraq, the reigning Democrats and the holdover Republicans both agree, stay in Iraq for an indefinite period.

Do that many people hate socialized medicine or do that many people love socialized medicine?

- egonSchiele, on 01/13/2008, -9/+24Obama FTW!
- amadman, on 01/13/2008, -3/+3Paul FTW!
- ChrisViz, on 01/13/2008, -2/+0I would definitely prefer Ron Paul in office but Barack Obama seems like a much safer bet. I think we need to face that Ron Paul won't get the office, his ideas are the most logically of any candidate but that logic doesn't seem to resonate with the media and the voters. Obama is the next best choice, and he is electable.
- Totalchaos02, on 01/13/2008, -1/+1His ideas aren't logical at all.
- smacksaw, on 01/13/2008, -19/+4If Janet Napolitano believes in change like she claims, she should step down as governor since she was originally endorsed by Clinton.
- libertao, on 01/13/2008, -0/+9This makes zero sense.
- iAlex, on 01/13/2008, -25/+4Anyone supporting Barack Obama is supporting treason. It is disgusting to see people buy that Obama is change on Digg. I thought you could think independently instead of buying what traitor mainstream media says about Barack -sellout- Obama. He is just a slick advertised package, using similar tactics developed by Frank Luntz to get people to vote for him. Zbigniew Brzezinski ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski ) co-founded the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller, serving as director from 1973 to 1976 and he is behind Barack Obama. Now you see who Barack has behind him. Read more about other folks he has behind him and other politicians here: http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_28 ...
Elite-connected Obama won't care about the people. He is an elite backed fake.- Phr00t, on 01/13/2008, -2/+10There are a ton of people behind Obama, including myself.
If "bad" people listen to Obama, isn't that a good thing?- Gavagai80, on 01/13/2008, -1/+6Listening is evil, and you're either with us completely or you're a scorge on the planet who must die. Have you learned nothing from our glorious president?
- iAlex, on 01/13/2008, -9/+3Anyone connected or with support of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Trilateral Commission (Created by globalist David Rockefeller and Barack Obama supporter Zbigniew Brzezinski) won't care about the people, but only of globalist-United Nation interests.
Obama's wife Michelle Obama is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Michelle Obama is on the Board of Directors in the Chicago branch of the CFR.- chaosium, on 01/13/2008, -3/+3Ron Paul doesn't care about the people, he cares about the States, besides that your lack of understanding of how the CFR and other policy groups work.
What's your point? You're not impressing anyone and you're only making your crazy-ass self look bad, not the TRILATERAL CFR FREEMASON ILLUMINATUS ONE-WORLD GOV'T that "owns" Obama.
You're a failure, and so is Paul.- rexblade, on 01/13/2008, -1/+1If some one explained it to you would you listen anyway? Don't ask a question your not gonna let be answered. You people have no clue and choose to remain clueless. I've started a list maybe you can comment on it. Its kind of cool it self defines itself. http://digg.com/politics/Rupert_Murdoch_Calls_Fox_ ...
- chaosium, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Nice to see that you're rambling about things that have nothing to do with my statements.
I'll watch FX for Nip/Tuck, as that channel has no news and no bias.

- iAlex, on 01/13/2008, -7/+3Nope. You are the one far away from reality. You are stupid if you think Barack Obama gives a ***** about you. I have provided the elite-connections of Barack Obama and you call me Schizoid? But hey. What do you expect from people who get their news from corporate media and MSNBC (General Electric owned). You are a supporter of an Establishment canidate, and it is because of people like you, that United States is sold to globalist interests, but you don't care, do you? You prefer to be told lies and live in a delusion. You prefer to believe there is any difference between Left and Right in American politics. There isn't. You buy their propaganda. Do you think he will be able to give health care? No way. US is in massive debt. So they can promise a lot, but give little. It is because of stupid people like you, that US is in such a bad shape and that the elite can rule and control while people like you believe Barack Obama is a "people candidate". Extremely sickening.
- vertexoflife, on 01/13/2008, -3/+3MSNBC is owned by microsoft you dweeb, what do you think the MS in front of NBC means? I find that you are partially right and that sometimes big companies really do try to influence politics, but for the most part, it is amazing enough to meet one organied person, so having a whole bunch of them is a bit of a stretch.
- Infobahn, on 01/13/2008, -2/+5No, it's not. NBC Universal owns MSNBC and Microsoft has divested itself from MSNBC about two years ago, and only owned a small share of the network to begin with.

- CaymanCarpediem, on 01/13/2008, -0/+5A couple things. First, how in the heck did the article you linked to about who is supporting who create that list? What was the criteria for saying who supports who? It looks like they just rolled the dice for each person with how accurate it is ;-) They have Colin Powell listed as backing McCain. However, Powell hasn't endorsed anyone and has recently been sounding like he could back Obama. They also have William Krystal as a backer of McCain, but again he hasn't endorsed anyone and just finished writting a pretty glowing op-ed about Huckabee. Etc, etc, etc. What was the criteria for that? If they could find a couple positive comments by these people about a candidate they consider them as backers? If so couldn't you put Bill Clinton as a backer of Obama, Obama as a backer of Hillary, Hillary as a backer of Edwards, etc, etc, etc? I see no logic in how they decided to list people as backers of a given candidate.
For the second point, lets assume the list in question is accurate (though it is obviously pulling things out of thier a$$). What kind of logic does it take to decide if someone you dislike or disagree with supports someone or an idea you must be against it? If Bin Laden says some nice things about democracy should we get rid of it in the US? I mean you talk about independent thinking, but from the above post it is difficult to see any evidence of thinking independent or otherwise. You may be a very intelligent and insightful person (I have no idea), but if so the above post certainly doesn't do that any justice.- iAlex, on 01/13/2008, -4/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski#A ...
"Brzezinski has endorsed the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama."

People endorse politicians al the time. Endorsements don't really mean *****.- iAlex, on 01/13/2008, -4/+1Of course they do. It's a difference between a person with no political power that endorses a candidate, and a person with power and influence. Especially a person who created the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller. It's a bad sign that he endorsed Barack Obama. It means the elite is behind Barack Obama.
- chaosium, on 01/13/2008, -1/+1"Especially a person who created the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller"
So what?

- SydneyHopper, on 01/13/2008, -3/+3Any new president will be a good president by virtue of how bad George Bush was
- Gavagai80, on 01/13/2008, -2/+4Things can get a lot worse... and if you apathetically accept any new president, they will.
- SydneyHopper, on 01/13/2008, -0/+3 Gavagai80
I think people get mesmerized by the political spin, and the fiction that gets spun out from the man. They rarely see the soul of the man before a challenge in office has to reveal it to an ignorant nation, then the people will know what president they have, not before. - cwright213, on 01/13/2008, -0/+220 years of the same clans? NO Thanks

- Phr00t, on 01/13/2008, -1/+12The current "Republican" party has gone completely off-base (except Ron Paul) -- the current Republican party's base has become an evangelical Christian movement... I don't mind seeing the current Republican party dieing.

- goldenhearted, on 01/13/2008, -7/+26To put it simply, I can't think of a better man to run the US than Obama.
- SydneyHopper, on 01/13/2008, -5/+8Really? And you base that decision solely on the rhetoric of Obama, with no prior knowledge of his political placement in the whole spectrum of human affairs? We will only know if he is a good President when he becomes a President. At the moment, there is just no way of knowing.
- catalysis, on 01/13/2008, -0/+4Maybe he actually read Obama's blueprint for change. It's 65 pages so you might want to grab a cup of coffee before diving in.

It would be better if he distilled the bloated message into a few choice sentences that the American votes could perhaps understand, or is that
the point- to bamboozle onto submission any inquiry.
And I have to say, he seems to enjoy the sound of the words, rather than their import

- brad3378, on 01/13/2008, -4/+7How about a "small government" candidate?
Sorry - I just can't buy into more government involvement in Health Care (or anything else) being a good thing.- rexblade, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2Our country cant afford ***** really and remain a country especially not socialized medicine as well as keep the empire.

- mal1964, on 01/13/2008, -11/+2And why is this on the front page?
- krnldmp, on 01/13/2008, -6/+1They have the same lips?
- taltoris, on 01/13/2008, -2/+6This is pretty surprising. She has been a Clinton lap-dog for awhile.
I may not like how she's running my state into the ground, but I'm glad that she decided to endorse somebody who isn't a machine Democrat.- groinkster, on 01/13/2008, -0/+4Are you serious? Ev Mecham? Fife Symington? Jane Hull? Napolitano is the best thing thats happened to this state in years. She has brought the state from a billion dollar deficit to a billion dollar surplus, without raising taxes, and without cutting programs!
- it5five, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Agreed.
I fear whomever comes after her.
- it5five, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Agreed.
- taltoris, on 01/13/2008, -0/+0Couple of things. Ken Bennet (rip) and the republican legislature helped erase some of the original debt by switching some of the sales taxes to income taxes.
Right now, both the governor and legislature are bipartisanly stabbing us in the back by spending us into oblivion.

- quasimot0, on 01/13/2008, -1/+1Oh man, at first I was thinking it was the artist Johnette Napolitano that did a Coldplay cover of "The Scientist" which is amazing.
- brad3378, on 01/13/2008, -1/+5Wouldn't it be cool if we could someday think for ourselves and not have to worry about who others are voting for?
- SLuM, on 01/13/2008, -7/+2Well considering Obama gets the second most in lobbyist money and has a 97% voting record with Hillary Clinton. I would say he would make a great president!
- ZenMojo, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2There are lies, big lies, and damned lies. I'm trying to figure out which one yours is.... If you're saying he's a Liberal hippy, then I give you that much. He voted against the Iraq War, he voted against funding it too in the last supplemental, he wants to lower the minimum sentencing for crack, he wants gun control. Hillary voted the opposite way on these issues, which makes her a conservative. Not to mention the Iran thing (she thinks an army is a terrorist group, he doesn't).
- aflaks, on 01/13/2008, -6/+2who?
- h00ligan, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1I'm not a huge fan of hers but at least she brought CASTLE DOMAIN to Arizona.
