I dugg you up btw.- Whorebane, on 08/14/2008, -26/+6Or maybe the people that dugg him down were people that found that his comment added absolutely nothing to the benefit or amusement of people reading these comments.
- PaulMorel, on 08/14/2008, -1/+26The problem is that the population that uses Digg is not representative of the US at large. So "let's see what happens in November" is exactly the wrong attitude to take. We have to proactive about getting the messages here on digg into the traditional media and into the larger discussion about the candidates.
The internet, and digg especially, is just an echo chamber. To reach or gauge the public in general, we need to get these messages outside of this echo chamber.
Still, if something gets dugg to the front page, it can usually at least make a dent in the traditional media. - SecureXeC, on 08/14/2008, -1/+22No. No it can't.
You can't make a dent in REAL media. Want to know why?
Because in "traditional media", the broadcasters aren't calling each other "*****", "dicksnorters", "cheesecocks" or "jews" while spouting off over 9,000 memes from last thursday.
But that's why Digg owns. :) - usmpiano, on 08/14/2008, -16/+0and I've dugg you down.

- slimjimworm, on 08/14/2008, -10/+3So where is the % of Obama votes?
How many votes were there?
Remember the whole point of politics is to slant "truths" to further your point.
Also of course the % has gone up as it is now a Dem controlled congress with their agenda. When it was a Rep controlled congress with Bush's agenda...McCain stood up to it and thus had a lower %.
So in reality McCain opposed Bush's policies/ideas (low %), however, he agrees with Bush against the stuff the Dems are trying to do (high %).
Think!- Cedargrove, on 08/15/2008, -0/+31. Do you really think Obama's voting record would be similar? You also don't need to continually compare the two candidates, it is possible to look at each objectively.
2. Doesn't matter. If there were many, then he continually voted with Bush, if there were few (with an increasing percentage) then he continually voted with Bush while absent for other votes.
3. Yes.
4. Sooooo... you're saying when Republicans controlled Congress... McCain voted against Bush more because he's some sort of maverick. Was he trying to balance the vote some how? Like the guy who doesn't care which team wins the game so he roots for the team with the least amount of supporters?
5. I don't know what reality you live in, but it is certainly not the one the rest of us share. You "Think!" McCain is against the policies of Bush, yet he votes for them because the Democrats oppose the Presidents policies... the policies McCain doesn't agree with. Think about it. So if Bush said he wanted to have sex with Cindy McCain, and the Democrats opposed Bush cheating on his wife and sleeping with a married woman, then McCain would vote for Bush to sleep with her because he does the opposite of the Democrats.

- tastypaste, on 08/14/2008, -2/+23No, McCain is retarded for voting 100% of the time in support of the most retarded president we've ever had. In what way did he think the voters would respond to that? Bush has the lowest approval rating ever because of his policies. And McCain adopted those same policies. What was the strategy in that? He has to be retarded or senile. In either case he's not fit to lead a peewee soccer team let alone a country.

There's no inferring of any causation either way, it's simply stating the facts. I don't think they're saying that McCain agreeing with Bush is causing Bush's low poll numbers or vice-versa, I just think they're saying that McCain is agreeing with stupid and ridiculous policies that the majority of Americans are realizing are stupid and ridiculous.

FAIL - Jwoey, on 08/14/2008, -3/+31They are correct, but the 100% at the end doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, the whole story is worse. McCain hasn't voted very much at all in 2008 because of his run for president. Its not unusual for a presidential candidate to participate in fewer votes (for a couple of reasons - They don't want to stir up controversy and because they're often too busy on the campaign trail), but in McCain's case, he hasn't voted *at all* since about the time he became the presumptive nominee (someone can fact check me on that, I believe March/April timeframe was the last time he voted). I'm a McCain hater all the way, but part of the reason why he has sided with Bush 100% (instead of like, say... 95% as in 2007) is because he hasn't actually voted that much, so there's a smaller chance of finding something he disagreed with.
- oscenester, on 08/14/2008, -2/+7True but you don't even have to go into voting record to see he's kissing Bush's ass. Just look at his political flip-flopping to gain favor in the Chief Retards eyes. Don't need a voting record to see that McCain=Bush Jr., Jr.
- avatarroku1, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1@Jwoey
So what if it is 100% just because he has voted less. That actually makes it even worse, because if he has to pick and choose things to vote on more carefully, and he STILL sides with Bush, then that just proves that no matter how many things he voted for, it would still be 100% regardless. - sarixe, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1oscenester: Bush III?

They can' t have an honest debate on this one because Americans know all too well what the kind of ***** the repeal of the estate tax will lead to; look at the landed aristocracy in third world, small government countries. It's odd that Americans think that rich kids should have to earn their money, too, not just live off of inheritance. You'd think conservatives would support this kind of position, given their usual "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric they spew at the lower class.- nacrotek, on 08/14/2008, -15/+3I think you've got it wrong. I and a lot of conservative people who work hard, do so to ensure their children have a good future, but somehow people like you think that you're more entitled to the fruits of my labor than my children are? Sorry, but that makes you a leech and a thief.
- mille716, on 08/14/2008, -0/+12nacrotek, you're just being foolish then. The estate tax ensures that the kids and grandkids of the super rich are paying some taxes, rather than none as you seem to prefer. The children of those who are eligible for having their parent's estates taxed (which does NOT include you unless you're expecting a handout of at least two million dollars, which would be subject to the smallest level of taxation) are not going to be struggling anytime soon. They're still going to have a hearty sum of the fruits of their parents, or great-great-great-great grandparents as in many of the actual cases, labor.
I'm going to side with the two richest men in the world, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates on this and say the estate tax should stay. - DavidYeah, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4"I think you've got it wrong. I and a lot of conservative people who work hard, do so to ensure their children have a good future, but somehow people like you think that you're more entitled to the fruits of my labor than my children are? Sorry, but that makes you a leech and a thief."
Do you know how much money has to be in an estate before the estate tax kicks in? It only affects about 5% of the population. I think you're safe.
After that, estate tax is a last ditch protection from aristocracy and massive inherited wealth.
The way I see, there's three stages of wealth. There's having enough wealth to get what you need, then there's having enough wealth to get what you want (where most of America is right now, at least to some extent...)
Then, after that, it's just raw lust for power. Power to influence elections, power to influence corporate boards, power to lobby congress, et cetera. We have to protect ourselves from these threats, and, if I recall correctly, even Thomas Jefferson believed that the estate tax was a "quiet" way of doing so. - beanphoner, on 08/14/2008, -9/+1Why should that money be taxed twice? So we can go invade more countries? So we can give healthcare to non-tax-paying illegal immigrants? Rob the wealthy because you don't think they need it?
- DavidYeah, on 08/14/2008, -1/+3"So we can give healthcare to non-tax-paying illegal immigrants?"
Actually the exact opposite is true. Undocumented immigrants (most of whom are documented immigrants who overstay their visa, but don't let that get in the way of the bogeyman you dorks have made up) end up paying taxes and don't get any of the social benefits of them; they don't get social security, can't get medicare since they're, uh, undocumented.
I don't know how conservatives can simultaniously say that undocumented workers are ILLEGAL (and by illegal you mean in violation, because most of the undocumented workers are guilty of a crime that's legally equivalent to a parking ticket) and yet will then say that they will be getting government paid healthcare. It's kind of a ***** of a point of view if you ask me.
"Rob the wealthy because you don't think they need it?"
"Rob the wealthy" is a nice meme and provides some great visuals for you knuckdraggers to grab on to, but it doesn't reflect the reality of what's going on. We're trying to prevent too much inter-generational accumulated economic power, and estate tax is the fastest way to assure that. A two million dollar tax free inheritance is a pretty damn good deal, but at some point a society HAS to protect itself from too much consolidated private power.
Naturally, dittoheads and conservatives have no ability of comprehending such a thing as too much private power, they're too obsessed with drowning democratic institutions like the government in the bathtub like anti-tax guru Grover Norquest wants to do to consider the long term effects of such actions. - beanphoner, on 08/15/2008, -1/+1Please provide proof that you don't pay taxes on an inheritance until its 2 million dollars.
And please provide proof that most of the 12 million UNDOCUMENTED immigrants are paying taxes.

- wishninja, on 08/14/2008, -4/+1The death tax is no more. I haven't heard that Obama would bring that back. But I agree that we need Bob Barr in the White House.
- DavidYeah, on 08/15/2008, -0/+2The estate tax was never "no more." The repeal was passed in the house years ago (2004?) but got held back in the senate. Conservatives tried to tie a repeal of the estate tax to the minimum wage increase in 2006, but failed. What the hell are you talking about?
- JD52, on 08/14/2008, -28/+9pwned
- drowningfish, on 08/14/2008, -6/+106I think the real question we need to ask here is this:
If Bush's approval ratings are so low, and McCain is essentially Bush's clone, then why is McCain not being trounced by Obama in the polls?
/boggle- vexingmodstwo, on 08/14/2008, -55/+13Because Obama is a fraud?
- usmpiano, on 08/14/2008, -23/+4Thank you. He's the absolute biggest fake I've ever seen in politics. His policies are recycled extra-liberal ideals and would send this country into a depression.
I laugh at people who think that things are bad right now. - chodges4, on 08/14/2008, -1/+12usmpiano, here's my top three reasons to think things are bad right now. Top three means there's plenty more.
3. have you filled up your tank recently?
2. the housing market
1. We're still in Iraq. - usmpiano, on 08/21/2008, -1/+1@chodges4
3. Yes - price of gas is not really affecting me much. Also, the price is exactly where it should be, as set by market forces. Government intervention in this matter would only serve to screw things up more.
2. I'm buying a house this week. It's GREAT for me! :) Everything was completely false and overpriced anyways. THere was no way those prices could be sustained. I saw this coming 8 years ago.
1. And Iraq means what? I don't care that we are there. I'm an isolationist. Drop a nuclear bomb on them and turn the whole middle east into the world's largest sheet of glass. That's the only way to solve the problems there. If Jesus Christ himself couldn't do it....I'm just saying.....

- AngelaQ, on 08/14/2008, -2/+11Stats show that the media is attacking Obama on issues and non-issues, while giving McCain a free ride on many of them. I would love to hear McCain answer some hard questions, but nobody asks him those.
This is completely different from the issue many of you are concerned about, the lack of "balance", where you apparently feel that stories correctly describing McCain's inexcusable record and history are somehow equivalent to "attacks", which somehow legitimates manufacturing fake anti-Obama stories. - tastypaste, on 08/14/2008, -2/+9Whenever they DO question McCain on an important issue he just stares blankly into space and racks his brain to come up with a response. He can't. He's lied so much and flip flopped so many times that he doesn't know where he stands on anything anymore. Between the lies and the senility, he can't answer questions coherently.

- mgill3, on 08/14/2008, -18/+104Because a lot of people are closet racists and will come up with any excuse not to vote for Obama.
- McHoffa, on 08/14/2008, -4/+20I have personally found this to be true. They don't want to say it's because he has black blood in him, so they use other reasons, and come up with excuses to support mccain, even though these same people said they could never ever vote for mccain and that they completely disagreed with bush's policies during the early primary season
- shagmin, on 08/14/2008, -6/+9You could also say people will come up with nearly any excuse to vote for Obama whether or not he's in line with their stance on issues because his race. Turning the election into a "everyone who doesn't vote for ___ is dumb and prejudiced" thing divides the nation further.

- ngmcs8203, on 08/14/2008, -0/+22I think the main reason is because about 25% of voters have made their minds up so far as to who they are going to vote for. Probably for a few reasons too.
1) They aren't paying attention yet since it is not the fall.
2) They don't know who their friends are voting for yet and don't want to look dumb.
3) They don't care.
4) They don't see any candidates that they can support yet. - nacrotek, on 08/14/2008, -24/+5Because McCain supporters (people who actually work for a living and pay taxes) still outnumber Obama supporters (envious 'victims', entitlement brats, and the lazy). It will be a sad day for our country when someone like Obama actually wins, because it will be an end to the promise of America; that hard work leads to success. Obama supports are fighting for a world where hard work leads to more taxes to support the lazy.
I encourage all Obama supporters to rediscover shame. Shame for believing you deserve someone elses property simply because you want it.- SmartfulDodger, on 08/14/2008, -1/+20I think you have it backwards. Obama's support base comes from the 40 and under crowd with a college education. They tend to earn good salaries and pay the bulk of our country's taxes. McCain has the retirees - many of whom live off of social security, don't work anymore, and generally don't pay much in taxes.
- cityvitalsigns, on 08/14/2008, -2/+7Wow. Zero points for critical thinking.

- tastypaste, on 08/14/2008, -0/+15Wait, so the guy who worked hard and got into Harvard Law and managed to become a US senator is an entitlement brat? Whereas the son of an Admiral who got handed everything in his life on a silver platter and divorced his wife so he could marry a rich woman is somehow supposed to be a hard worker?
You've got that backwards, moron. McCain is the antithesis of the American work ethic. Obama is the embodiment of the American Dream. - SammyJr, on 08/14/2008, -0/+7I know you McCain supporters like to paint Obama supporters as people who are completely out there, but if you knew some basic details about me, you'd assume I was a Republican. Why?
I'm white. I'm married. I have kids. I own my home. I live in the Midwest. I have a good paying job for my area of the country. I dress in a collared shirt and khakis or a t-shirt and jeans. I could be your neighbor.
But I'm voting Obama. Obama supporters are all around you and you don't even know it.

At this point, he's whittled his general support down to 36%. He doesn't want to be president, he's just occupying the spot that a real would-be opponent for Obama would be occupying if the Council on Foreign Relations didn't have a stranglehold on all things Presidential.
- DavidYeah, on 08/14/2008, -4/+5"He even makes jokes about himself being too old."
Oh come on.. to make it sound like he's saying that to "disqualify" himself or something is absurd; he was just trying to sound humble about it. Age doesn't matter, the positions he holds on issues do.
Luckily, every single one of McCain's positions suck enough for it to not matter, except I wish his rhetoric matched his positions and past votes on green energy. - tastypaste, on 08/14/2008, -0/+5Age does matter when the man is too senile to remember that a country like Czechoslovakia broke up 15 years ago.

- AngelaQ, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3He wants to attack Persia.
- HeilBush, on 08/14/2008, -1/+0Making fun of his age is a smart political move. Take any character trait of any candidate (I'm trying to talk from an objective standpoint, here) that could be perceived as a major flaw, say that one of the candidates committed a crime decades ago. If the candidate attempts to sweep it under the rug, ignore it, or even defend himself or herself as no longer being that person, they're only inviting criticism and argument. However, if he or she makes fun of it instead, the issue is practically no longer on the table.
If you make people laugh, they like you, it's simple but true. Voters will almost always like a joke more than an argument (look at The Daily Show and the like). The candidate's opponent can't criticize him or her now for their crime, because they've already addressed the issue, and they were funny, too.- jaymzdean, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1He's not even close to being funny.

- NWTerriD, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2All caps? 8 of the 19 letters are capitalized. Two of those are because McCain's name has two capital letters. Three are because they are the first letters of words.

Okay... just wanted to throw that in there.
Proceed.- twitrock, on 08/14/2008, -3/+14No.
Him supporting Ron Paul is being a maverick. Supporting Bush, is just being whipped.- vexingmodstwo, on 08/14/2008, -9/+6So he's only a maverick if he agrees with your point of view? Okay. I guess that makes sense in a completely illogical way.
- highlymodified, on 08/14/2008, -2/+10One earns the malleable term "maverick" by doing one's own thing, even when it goes against the grain of commonly accepted or party practice.
McCain put Bush's/the religious right's proverbial dicks in his mouth. Maverick? Methinksnot.
- briankoenig03, on 08/14/2008, -2/+16No, because his "maverick" title came from *NOT* following party lines, instead of voting alongside the party 95% of the time as he has for the past year*.
* When he shows up to vote. (McCain is the Most Absent Senator)- vexingmodstwo, on 08/14/2008, -13/+3Not true, but you go on and keep believing that.
- highlymodified, on 08/14/2008, -1/+8Let's see...
Did he show up for GI Bill vote? Nope. Claimed credit for it though.
Lifting the Global Gag Rule vote? Not present. Would have stirred up abortion debate to do his job.
Eliminating Pay Discrimination - Cloture Vote: No vote.
Or how about FISA Amendment of 2008? You know...the one that gave telcom companies who broke the law a free pass just because the White House asked nicely? Absent.
Of course, he also voted Nay on Habeas Corpus Restoration and Protecting the Private Communications of Americans, and Yea for the Patriot Act Reauthorization...so maybe he should continue not showing up.
But you don't want to hear that, do you Vexingmodstwo? You just want to pretend that you have a perfect candidate and everyone else is a blind Marx worshipper, and there's nothing I can type to change the minds of people like you. So go on trolling, and I'll continue to debunk you. It's fun knowing facts are on my side.

Dwell under a bridge?
In answer to your question: McCain has been portrayed as a maverick who bucks the political orthodoxy. So no, his support of Bush is not the act of a maverick at all, it's just support of the establishment. He's as much a maverick as the Vichy government was. - highlymodified, on 08/14/2008, -2/+4That just makes him stupid.
Or a traitor, take your pick. - diabolicedict, on 08/14/2008, -1/+3Who cares what kind of maverick he was? He is still stupid now.
Okay... just wanted to throw that in there too. - HeilBush, on 08/14/2008, -0/+0A maverick (at least when the term is used in politics) isn't someone who doesn't care about public opinion, it's someone who doesn't care about the established leadership, whatever that may be.

This possible President of the United States?? Read Below and ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the President of our great nation!!!!
Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words!
From Dreams of My Father:
'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
From Dreams of My Father :
'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father:
'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
From Dreams of My Father:
'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Dreams of My Father:
'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's
image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!
From Audacity of Hope:
'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

- SupaDawg, on 08/14/2008, -1/+18I don't see a single thing wrong with one of those quotes, and i'm a white male in his mid-20s. Obama had trouble dealing with his mixed race nature, as i'm sure anybody else would.
There are plenty of things to attack Obama on (see his ever-changing platform), but none of these qualify.
And for the record, even as a Christian, i too would stand with the muslims if the political climate became hostile to them... As it has become in recent years. - ConceptualTrap, on 08/14/2008, -0/+14I'm a 26 year old white male and can see, quite clearly, that these are quotes about his CHILDHOOD. You try growing up both black AND white and then attempt to find your niche within a social circle of friends. Too black for the white kids and too white for the black kids. Of course he chose a side to empower himself when he was a kid.
As for the bit on Muslims, I take it that you're one of those people that believes Muslim equals Terrorist. Can I ask you a question? Would you be opposed to someone standing with Christians if the political winds shifter in an ugly direction knowing that the White Supremacist movement is driven by devout Christians? - Kesseire, on 08/14/2008, -0/+5Moron.

Can this be some kind of genetic defect?
Big question for the next decade - how does a country deal with a small but very vocal minority of asshats, who have the support of deeply machiavellan power groups at the highest corporate and governmental levels (plus the Israel fascists) and who have proven they themselves do not care about basic human values.
The 17% of neocon-collaborators are evil and know they are and they simply do not care. They just want their petro-cake and everybody else's too.- usmpiano, on 08/14/2008, -9/+0That is truly the most offensive thing I've read in a long time.

- ConceptualTrap, on 08/14/2008, -1/+7That lovely capitalistic thinking has down wonders for our country. Especially in the last two decades. We've now handed othe countries economy fully over to corporations that have no interest besides making money. As such, having no inherent loyalty to the US, have fled our shores knowing that they can make more money in India and China where the population is much larger. Add to that we are remarkably indebted to China, so much so that we are now forced to turn a blind eye to any sort of atrocity and human rights violations they might commit. We are losing the race in technology, engineering, and science and making next to no attempt to sustain ourselves energy wise. In the last 8 years we have racked up trillions of dollars in debt, the Canadian dollar and the Euro has surpassed in value our own currency.
We have nothing to offer the rest of the world in this day in age but entertainment, corn, and wheat. There is not a single thing that we do any longer that some other country doesn't do better. In almost every other "civilized" nation, the people have free healthcare and far cheaper higher education. They also tend to have looser drug laws and far less violence in their communities.
It's that precise kind of individualism that you displayed in your post that is KILLING our country. It's a mentality where no one looks out for anyone, where those that prosper feel entitled to all that they've accomplished, while not acknowledging the fact that there is someone else out there that could do their job better and more efficiently but who simply isn't because they weren't the one to catch the break.

Two friends grew up in a small town and when it came time to go to college, they went together. After the first year, they came home from college for the summer. One had worked hard managing to balance a full time job with her studies, not only supporting herself financially, but also maintaining a 4.0 GPA. The other had squandered her time partying and subsequently failed out of college. After returning home with a "enlightened" perspective, the former demanded that her father, a prominent figure in the community and business owner, take a substantial pay cut, and give all money to the homeless. The father sat awhile thinking about what to say. He was already well known in the community for his generosity, but this was obviously not enough for his daughter. She believed that he did not deserve what he had, that he made too much money. The father then asked her a question.
"How did your friend do in college this year?"
"She didn't do very well, in fact, she wasted all of her time, and missed most of her classes. The rest, she failed because she never studied."
That father replied, "Ok, this is what I want you to do. Go down to the dean's office and ask them to take your As away, give you Cs, and give your friend Cs as well, to balance out your grade and hers."
The daughter, who had a desire to go to medical school was dumbfounded, "there's no way I could get into medical school with grades like that, I had to work hard for those."
The father just smiled and said, "Welcome to conservatism."
ConceptualTrap, many people work years and years to make their way up to the place that they become successful. A very very small amount of people have a life-changing "big break." People like you fail to understand that hard work and determination should pay off when you have had to make sacrifices to get that far.
People like you also fail to understand that conservatives give far and away more money to charity than liberals. Not just as an absolute value, but as a percentage of income. http://philanthropy.com/free/articles/v19/i04/0400 ... - Sammi84, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3@nacrotek
I'm European, so I have an excuse for not knowing for sure, but I was under the influence that Obama wants to cut taxes for mid-sized incomes... or am I completely off the track here?
And Americans already have some of the lowest tax rates in the western world, and there are a lot of countries that are doing very well with higher income taxes than the US. It's just a different model for society. In some ways you could say it's a cultural thing. Some value freedom above all else, others value social security above it. Both ways are proven to work in practise, and there is a middle road that works as well.
And likening taxes to stealing is just an immature and false argument. You do understand that the money you pay in taxes is supposed to be spent you public things that you use and benefit from, right? - AngelaQ, on 08/14/2008, -1/+1It's just about keeping more of the pie.

I would have far more respect for the man if he kept his prejudice in the open, and had the character to defend who he called a close friend, despite his misguided beliefs.
- ConceptualTrap, on 08/14/2008, -1/+7That lovely capitalistic thinking has down wonders for our country. Especially in the last two decades. We've now handed othe countries economy fully over to corporations that have no interest besides making money. As such, having no inherent loyalty to the US, have fled our shores knowing that they can make more money in India and China where the population is much larger. Add to that we are remarkably indebted to China, so much so that we are now forced to turn a blind eye to any sort of atrocity and human rights violations they might commit. We are losing the race in technology, engineering, and science and making next to no attempt to sustain ourselves energy wise. In the last 8 years we have racked up trillions of dollars in debt, the Canadian dollar and the Euro has surpassed in value our own currency.

During that same election, South Carolinians were also voting on whether or not it would be acceptalble to fly the Confederate flag over the state house. When asked about it, McCain said it should be up to the voters. Later, he admitted that he thought it shouldn't be allowed, but that he didn't want to say this and risk losing votes. His other "stands" follow pretty much the same pattern when he's trying to be elected to office, be it the House, the Senate, or the Presidency. He'll say (or not say) anything, so long as it gets him ellected.

Obama doesn't mean more dependence on oil, he's for massive investment in alternative fuels.
You can easily argue that you think that isn't a realistic solution, but you can't say he's planning on being more dependent on foreign oil.
As is the oil companies aren't using all of the off shore drilling rights they've already been granted. It's disingenuous to say that they'll use more off shore drilling rights in a way that benefits us and even if they do it'll take 6-8 years before we start getting oil out.
Promoting efficiency now (tire gauges, checkups, getting our cars washed) will decrease demand and use now. Promoting alternatives is a good long term plan.

are you familiar with FEMA? Let me help you learn some: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEMA
FEMA was changed under president Bush to become better prepared for terrorism response, but in the mean time removed most of it's functionality under which it was originally purposed for. Bush also selected a director that was a personal friend of his which was unqualified for the position. To blame anyone but the president for the fall apart after the change of FEMA and lack of disaster relief to New Orleans shows you truly don't understand government organizations.

For 2007:
Minimum wage increase, implementation of the September 11 commission recommendations, college-cost reduction, energy laws mandating conservation and the use of renewables, federal funding for stem cell research (vetoed). Passed a $555 billion dollar spending bill including $70 billion for the wars in Iran & Afghanistan. Boosted spending for veterans needs, overhauled ethics & lobbying rules, passed gun control legislation. (http://xp-vista-update.net/?id=31904566544).
The democrats swept into congress with large and unprecedented victories because of promised to hold the executive branch accountable and to bring an end to the Iraq war. It is logical to conclude that people hold such a low opinion of congress because of their failure to implement their campaign promises. Considering that most people blame the president and the policies of the last 8 years for the price of gas, rising inflation and especially for the decline in wages and real buying power because of the falling dollar it is illogical to conclude that people are giving congress a low approval rating because of the high cost of fuel. - TheHappyToaster, on 08/14/2008, -0/+4Actually, Nancy Pelosi made a rather compelling point about the whole impeachment thing in Time this week.
The funny thing about impeachment (and hearings about the massive, massive corruption) is that you have to prove wrongdoing, and if there's one thing the Executive branch (and the Cheney branch) are good at, it's ensuring that there's not enough evidence to get them (and their cronies) prosecuted on.
While Congress could probably manage to force enough information out of them eventually, it would probably take longer than Bush would still be in office, and that was the case a year ago as well. I mean, it took years of special prosecution to find enough to almost make something stick on *Bill Clinton*, and he didn't have the advantage of special Patriot Act powers to hide behind.
I'd like to see it happen too, but it's just more problem than it's really worth to do it now. Do it once he has less ability to hide once someone else is in the position. - treehugger87, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1@Toaster
Pelosi's whole "I need proof of wrongdoing" argument is nonsense. The Judiciary committee has the right and responsibility to open an investigation to discover evidence of wrongdoing if they believe that the executive branch might be doing something illegal. It is a process of discovery. This congress should have members of the executive staff answering questions under oath. That is how you prove wrongdoing. - ScrewedThePooch, on 08/14/2008, -0/+3They lie under oath or just hire another Gonzales. The real point of impeaching Bush & co. at this point is to distract them from doing any more damage until he's gone. Then send him to prison once he gets out and can't pardon Cheney.

- EarthBoundX5, on 08/14/2008, -12/+2agreed, that was just moronic of me. I am so sorry that grammar is not important to me when typing ***** on the internet that no one seems to care about anyways because everyone is too busy shoving their heads up their asses.
- wolfz0rz, on 08/14/2008, -1/+4And "American's", which doesn't happen to be the plural for "American".
- EarthBoundX5, on 08/14/2008, -12/+1what can I say, I have insomnia and with the surgery I recently had, I have been getting less and less sleep. That tends to ***** with you general motor skills and ability to type grammatically correct.
- mingistech, on 08/15/2008, -1/+2EarthBound had his head surgically removed from McCain's ass. It's gonna be awhile before he recovers.
- EarthBoundX5, on 08/14/2008, -25/+3and you are a bitch
- CowDefender, on 08/14/2008, -8/+7I can't figure out why things have to be so polarized.
Why so much hyperbole has to be thrown around.
McCain has some similarities and some differences with Bush.
There are things he sharply divides from Bush on.
I'm a moderate and to my liberal friends I look like a conservative where I sing some of McCain's praises (he has a great stance on sugar based ethanol). I look like a frantic liberal to my conservative coworkers as I defend Obama from stupid claims (no he isn't a Muslim, his flip/flop on off shore drilling is more complicated...)
I'm actually pretty excited about either of these guys. Free from W at last.- mille716, on 08/14/2008, -0/+5You're missing the point of the video then. Nearly every American, myself included, figures McCain has "some similarities and some differences with Bush" but next to no one understands just how lopsided the similarities have become in the last few years. The video made a strong case for showing that McCain in office will be like having another four years of W. You essentially won't be free of W's policies then and lets face it, we all want to be free from them.
P.S.- Don't vote for McCain based off his stance on sugar based ethanol. There are far more important issues at stake this election.- CowDefender, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1I'm not voting for either guy based on one issue.
I'm pretty much taking a tally and figuring out how important each issue is to me.
To me the fact that McCain understands the sugar based ethanol speaks well of him (and/or his advisers), conversely I'm not sure about his stance on nuclear energy (so much waste and the Yucca place is still a bit scary to me).
I haven't decided what the most important issue is for me, likely economics and foreign relations (these should be more important than the war on terror in my opinion).
And my comment was in reference to the comments I was reading, not the video itself. - mille716, on 08/14/2008, -0/+2Fair enough.
I for one can't vote for McCain due to his ignorance on the war on terror and Iraq. I tend to blend the war on terror with foreign relations since Iraq/terrorism seem to be so dominant in politics. So many countries we work with are upset with how we are conducting ourselves in the Middle East that it affects our ability to be seen as world leaders. McCain in my view sees US fighting in Iraq as just simply fighting "terrorists" without bothering to understand the relationship between madi militia, the badr brigade and the Supreme Islamic Council within the framework of a functional Iraq.
You've convinced me to look up this sugar ethanol issue now.
- CowDefender, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1I'm not voting for either guy based on one issue.
- underminedsk, on 08/14/2008, -0/+6I didn't really see much hyperbole in the ad, just numbers on McCain's voting record. Can you list some of the big differences in policy between McCain and Bush?
- Morchades, on 08/15/2008, -0/+1We got polarized because after three generations of Cold War propaganda half the nation is scared ***** that we'll end up like the Soviet Union and the other half has noticed that we've become the Soviet Union to avoid it.

- RealHyperX, on 08/14/2008, -30/+7Video sucks. The commentator sounds like he just deep throated some ***** before speaking (a typical liberal's pastime)
- Hoffpa, on 08/14/2008, -16/+3Hah sooo true.
- moomza, on 08/14/2008, -0/+5what's so true? you mean that realhyperx thinks about ***** a lot?
- bsmang, on 08/14/2008, -2/+19Scary that you guys are claiming to have expertise in the sound difference in a male voice after he deep-throats some.
- RealHyperX, on 08/14/2008, -13/+2We are experts in all, this is why we run the world and you liberals just run your mouths.
- TheLoneHoot, on 08/14/2008, -0/+10Is that you Larry Craig? Or is that you Mark Foley? Or, wait, Ted Haggerty? Or...
- eltrev, on 08/14/2008, -0/+8Wow, I didn't think about ***** from that video, but you did.
Considering that this un-*****-related video made you think about *****, you must think about ***** all the time! That's actually quite funny (and so true) when ya think about it.
Peace out, ***** boy. - moomza, on 08/14/2008, -0/+6There is nothing wrong with being gay realhyperx, but it's unhealthy to stay in the shame closet while you are constantly thinking about penises, which is what you are again doing here.
Therapy can help, there is hope.
- Hoffpa, on 08/14/2008, -16/+3Hah sooo true.

- cyberprunes, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1That's funny to me somehow.
- beanphoner, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1LOL... I hope they'll bring up this practice of cake eating during the debates!

- shpilk, on 08/14/2008, -5/+18Ad rocks .. now to get it seen by most of America, which is still asleep at the switch .. 'my friends'.
- genepooldesign, on 08/14/2008, -6/+16Okay, someone please tell me why this isn't being shown on all of the major networks.
- xman8, on 08/14/2008, -4/+2The answer is simple. It's crap propaganda.
- weelzup, on 08/14/2008, -1/+2Please explain how facts are propaganda?
Are the facts here not accurate?
Can you prove that McCain hasn't increased his support for Bush as the country's has decreased?- xman8, on 08/14/
