      Warning: if you are male, watching the above clip will turn you gay.
    • jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -22/+4Hillary is just an amateur when it comes to declining respect for voters. Take a look at the immediate results of the O-man dissing small town America. He is the master of disrespect.

      From the PA result: In the small town and rural "bitter" precincts, she clobbered him. Mr. Obama's state chair was Sen. Bob Casey, who hails from Lackawanna County in northeast Pennsylvania. She carried that county 74%-25%. In the state's 61 less-populous counties, she won 63%
      • franklymister, on 04/25/2008, -0/+18Hillary had a lead of over 20 points in Pennsylvania at one point, because it is a demographic custom made for her. Even after twisting Obama's words and giving him a good Rove-style smearing, she still lost over half that advantage, and had to settle for a one-digit lead.

        Your county-by-county argument is surely comforting to cling to, but it's irrelevant. Sorry to break it to you, but this election is for a national office, not county sheriff.
        • jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -16/+1And that is why the folks don't want to see a Presidency run by the likes of:

          Wiliam Ayers (terrorist bomb-maker) as his Secretary of Defense,
          Jeremiah Wright (racist pastor) giving the morning prayer every day in Congress,
          Michelle Obama (America hater) heading up the Department of Education, and
          Antoin “Tony” Rezko (slum-lord neighbor) as the head of the Federal Reserve.
          • archiesteel, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7I know you're a Rush-Limbot, but even then so much dishonesty in a single post is making me dizzy.

            Ayers = Obama barely knows him, and has not made any secret of his distaste for him or what he did
            Wright = not a racist, unlike those who say he is
            Michelle Obama = does not hate America, and in fact probably loves America more than you do (because someone who lies as much as you can't really love what America is supposed to stand for)
            Rezko = no proof of any wrongdoing on Obama's part; shall we start enumerating the Clintons' shady business partners? Or McCain's?

            Go back under your bridge, troll.
      • louiedog, on 04/25/2008, -0/+14Coming from the county next to Lackawanna I can tell you that Jesus himself wouldn't have won the vote if his skin was too dark. There was half a Black person in my high school (one Black parent) and I witnessed first hand the racism he faced. I won't speak for other parts of the State, but I wouldn't expect him to win that area at all.
      • aqcarter, on 04/25/2008, -0/+12Way to take the "bitter" comment out of context just like the media... Being from a small town I can honestly say that I am a little bitter anyways, so quit talking about bs comments taken out of context and vote on the issues.
        • green67, on 04/25/2008, -7/+1what?...you're bitter because you live in a small town?Grab your gun ,go to church and GROW UP.
          • chaosium, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4"you're bitter because you live in a small town?"

            Hey look, it's an idiot townie with no plans for his life.
      • jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -10/+1Going back to the playbook to use the old "taken out of context" attempt.

        Well, it is obvious what the O-man meant once you listen to his full statement. He likes to call them distractions.

        When are distractions not distractions but, in fact, issues of character and judgment?

        Obama's "Distractions": Reverends, Radicals, and Rezko
        "Distractions" or failures of judgment?"

    • KireGoTI, on 04/26/2008, -0/+3Hey, Viacom. LIsten, before you start taking down all your show's videos on YouTube to encourage traffic to your own site, could you make sure that your video player isn't a complete piece of crap. That way, you might actually get more people to watch the show, instead of making your potential audience angry when there's absolutely no way to see a clip that everybody's talking about.
  • motivatedmama, on 04/25/2008, -8/+117Gotta watch this!
    One tremendous "If you" = One tremendous "F you" to the people, in Clinton speak.
    Stewart nails it again!
    • RobertJoseph17, on 04/25/2008, -1/+14Thanks for the clarification.
    • shakbhaji, on 04/25/2008, -4/+3No, no, no, Colbert is the one who nails people.
  • jkbowman, on 04/25/2008, -5/+71Bravo! - Jon Stewart nails it again.
    • MrMetal, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3I would so totally do him.
    • Herrold, on 04/25/2008, -0/+11"If we are going to count black votes, I mean come on.."
      "I mean activists are just the people who care the most."

      Sheer genius!
  • theYevvin, on 04/25/2008, -3/+341I am constantly amazed that the daily show produces more reliable information gathering and comparison than any major news source. And hes just doing to be funny. Why can't the people who's job it is to look this ***** up get it right? Oh, that's right, the media is just corporations with corporate agendas, silly me.

    If you get your news from TV, you are being lied to.
    • wild, on 04/25/2008, -1/+57But the daily show is on tv!
      • theaceoffire, on 04/25/2008, -3/+19And they lie to us for humor.
        However, normally people are LAUGHING when the Daily Show lies.
        When Fox lies, people applaud.
      • Joopje, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3But the daily show is on bitmetv!
    • humanerror, on 04/25/2008, -1/+15http://www.democracynow.org

      It's the daily show... without the funny, but with Amy Goodman - one of the most kickass independent journalists out there and one major thorn in the ass of the corporate media.
      • jabberwolf, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1She used to be, now she edits stories to make her point look more valid. Journalists should stick to ALL the facts and not think their opinion is above all else.
        • humanerror, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure I understand you. She does what?
    • unmarked, on 04/25/2008, -3/+37As has been said before, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert (along with their "friends") are the court jesters of today's society. They serve a very important role in being able to speak the truth when no one else will.
      • xtinamo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+12So noted, but this is not the ***** middle ages here! This is a modern democratic society and we shouldn't have to rely on fake news to bring us the real news. Today we have the freedoms of speech and press that are used to sell a product or propagate a certain belief rather than bring truth to a country that cannot survive without it. TDS and TCR are only seen by a limited and younger audience while the rest of country is asphyxiated by the lack of and outright withholding of truth.
    • Blaircowanuk, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7Corporations do Corporationy things!!!!!!!
      • subscreet, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2and they act all corporation-y

        ...and they make money
    • Filipp0, on 04/25/2008, -0/+54If you don't read the paper, you're uninformed.

      If you read the paper, you're misinformed.

      -Mark Twain
    • Jektal, on 04/25/2008, -2/+10To be fair; if you get your news from Digg, you are being lied to.
      Everytime Obama does poorly in a primary there isn't a whisper of it on Digg in the political news section. I really loathe Hillary and voted for Obama this week, but it's frustrating and a bit self-defeating to only cater towards his crowd.
      • Fxer, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3I agree. I'm an Obama supporter (only in mind, since I'm not politically active) and I tried checking the front page on Wednesday morning and found nothing on the results of Tuesday's primaries.
      • Stevo23, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5It's not like Obama supporters needed to be told he lost PA. We all saw that coming like, 2 months ago.
      • caramba420, on 04/25/2008, -4/+1Digg is controlled by public referendum. All you have to do is look at digg to imagine what television would look like were it controlled by public referendum rather than corporate policy.
    • mochaman, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8The point is don't rely on one source for your news and more importantly don't form an opinion until you had the chance to review many sources i.e. blogs, wire news, opinion papers, and alternative sources. Do your homework and you will filter the b.s noise ratio. uninform voters are dangerous just look at the last 8 years.
    • AlKo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Well, Newshour is on PBS which is TV as well. Sure there is spin on their shows, but its coming from the spin doctors, I mean campaign boosters themselves. And at the very least, they are trying to provide some semblance of responsible journalism but attempting to be radically objective and show all views. Such as experts that are willing to mention without fail, HRC's sorted relationship with the truth. BBC America's newcast is often better than domestic MSM as well.

      I total agree with mochaman, get your news from multiple sources together if you want a picture of the truth.
      • caramba420, on 04/25/2008, -1/+0There's a hidden gem in your post. You used the phrase "radically objective." I guess that means that in this day and age, being objective is considered "radical." What has the world come to? Excuse me while I go kill myself.
    • TVarmy, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Daily Show is owned by Viacom. However, I don't think they are vetted like a "real" news show because they are on a comedy channel.
    • jabberwolf, on 04/25/2008, -5/+1Dailyshow is ON TV !!!!!!!!!
      Dailyshow gets its jokes - from other TV snippets
      Dailyshow looks for jokes not reality - sometimes they are both - sometimes they are out of context.

      It amazes me how people get their news from a 20 minute show that is there for entertainment and to make its sponsors money.
      • caramba420, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3The fact that it is ostensibly for entertainment purposes is exactly what makes it more reliable as a news source. Daily Show is for entertainment, other news programs are for indoctrination. Which do you think spins less?
  • redcolumbine, on 04/25/2008, -7/+152Unbelievable. SO WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE IN HER???
    • tharju, on 04/25/2008, -2/+19same reason as Bush. *sigh*
    • chris9902, on 04/25/2008, -1/+62because the other dude is black.
      • bicyclethief, on 04/25/2008, -1/+26the other dude doesn't have a vagina
      • 55mph, on 04/25/2008, -6/+51/2 black is more like it.
        • UtilityPole, on 04/25/2008, -2/+0No way! He's just as black (no, wait, "African-American") as other beautiful, 10000% "black" celebrities, such as Halle Berry.
        • hyunseob90, on 04/26/2008, -1/+155mhp is right. Obama is half black. He's related to Cheney. Remember?
      • battletrax, on 04/25/2008, -8/+3If your racist, go form your own country.
        • Nobi-Wan, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6If you can't spell properly, go back to school.
        • UtilityPole, on 04/25/2008, -2/+0They did, and they called it "America".
      • delrin500, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5It is sooo sad that you are right...
        • Daniel591992, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2CNN said that some people admitted to voting against him because he was black.
      • jabberwolf, on 04/25/2008, -6/+1The other dude is half white elitist male
        and the other half is extreme leftist with leftist mom, leftist father that abandoned him as a child to go join a leftist bloody Kenyatta group, who had a leftist preacher for 20 years, that has a leftist idea to tax everyone.

        I think by now we see color doesnt really matter when you look at the dude, he's a ***** nightmare if hes pokadot or striped !
    • Peko, on 04/25/2008, -1/+25Well, I was on the fence until i SAW YOUR USE OF CAPS. NOW I'M RETHINKING.
    • faceless323, on 04/25/2008, -1/+9because her last name is Clinton...although we are finally starting to see that the name Clinton doesn't carry much weight anymore.
      • Chirp08, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2This is dead on, no other woman could come into this race and pull the same ***** and get away with it. HIllary has nothing going for her on her own.
    • swifty383, on 04/25/2008, -2/+11It's a sad truth, but there will be no progress until the baby boomers are gone
      • MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+6I agree, but I hope that my generation doesn't become as retarded as the baby boomer generation. I have a feeling it's an inevitable cycle; if it's not my generation (X), then it'll be these retarded tweens and their emo ***** that will turn us into a socialist state.
      • jabberwolf, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4Those baby boomers, are why you are able to type on a computer, have a roof over your head.
        Those baby boomers are more educated, worked more of their lives, fought more for the USA then you...

        Those baby boomers are your parents!
    • cnot3, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8Its because of all the fluoride in our water supply.
      • insllvn, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6They are poisoning our Precious Bodily Fluids!
        • sephiroth965, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Precious? Do I need to start wearing a stillsuit?!
      • hyunseob90, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Totally agree. It's a byproduct from nuclear facilities.
    • forgiste, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Because the media tells them too... and the rest are abusing prescription drugs.
    • caramba420, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3Is it any more ridiculous than believing in some magic dude in the sky?
    • jabberwolf, on 04/25/2008, -8/+1THEY BELIEVE IN HER BECAUSE OF REALITY!
      There are 2 types of democrats -
      Those that want Obama to win the primaries
      Those that want a democrat to win the presidency!

      Those that believe in Hillary know she can beat Republicans, and Obama simply can't... NO HE CANT!
      Hillary democrats take in the whole picture and want the END RESULT!
      Obama tards can't see past their nose, and care about RIGHT NOW!
      • doubledmateo, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2I suppose I'm feeding the trolls here, but how can you even listen to her speak and still think the woman has the slightest chance of being elected president, and I'm very glad that's the case. Bush has been a horrible president but repacing him with a snivelling narcissist isn't going to appeal to the American public. The woman is way too bull headed and it's obvious that she isn't the slightest bit interested in what is best for the people.
    • Sinai, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1Because I've looked at their voting records, and I disapprove of Obama's voting record.
    • JamesMatt, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Field of dreams.................................................................
    • paullyvenne, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2a sucker is born every minute and she's an excellent liar
  • presidentblogs, on 04/25/2008, -2/+52absolute classic. Im gaining more and more respect for Jon Stewart. While the mainstream media are still giving some cred to hillary, stewart aint afriad to tell it like it is. The clinton masters of spin will come undone.
    • DeeBlackthorne, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7You know, I'm starting to respect him a lot more myself. I don't know. it just seems like he's really saying what a lot of us are thinking out there, and that the news corporations -- not just Fox -- have taken spin to a whole NEW level in the past eight years. Last night, I caught a glimpse of him prompting his Indecision 2008 segment, and he says, "And now it's time... never mind, I'm f&*$%ing sick of it! Same ol s*&t!"
  • Stevo23, on 04/25/2008, -3/+125Can Obama make Jon Stewart his press secretary? Finally, press conferences would be honest (and entertaining!).
    • Stevo23, on 04/25/2008, -2/+53Oh, also, if he kept his job on the Daily Show, he could say dumb things at a press conference, and then make fun of them on his show. "Can you believe what Obama's press secretary said today?" It would be total easy money.
    • Snowbeam, on 04/25/2008, -2/+6Dammit! You all know he'll pick Dave Chappelle to be his press secretary. Chappelle has been doing the White House tour as of late and has been sighted at some of the debates.
  • omnithought, on 04/25/2008, -7/+45Obama/Stewart '08!
    • thinkart, on 04/25/2008, -11/+4no, Cobert/Stewart '08.
    • MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5I like the Stewart press secretary idea above; that actually seems like it could happen.
  • macweirdo42, on 04/25/2008, -3/+197And once again, the court jester is the only one in the country who's allowed to speak the truth. Goddamn I hate that. I mean, I love Jon Stewart, I love his show... It just makes me weep for this country that it takes an entertainment show to call ***** on anything.
    • evilregis, on 04/25/2008, -0/+22It is sad that Jon Stewart is the closest thing to news to hit the air waves in the US. However, the most disgusting moment to me was a video posted here yesterday (I believe). In it, Helen Thomas was calling the WH on their deliberate lying about its use of torture. Dana Perino denies it and insults Thomas for even suggesting such a thing, and the rest of the press room is silent. ***** silent. Her call at the end, "Where is everybody" was just icing on the ***** that is the state of U.S. News Media.
  • BigManOnCampus, on 04/25/2008, -1/+19It's times like these that I wish youtube wasn't blocked at work :(
    • fani, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1get an iPhone.
      • MacEnvy, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2YouTube over EDGE is no picnic, trust me.

        A better option would be to use an encrypted proxy/distributed Tor/etc - provided that doesn't break your company's own security policy. Which it may, if they're on the ball at all.
        • MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -3/+1Work probably means there's wifi.
          • MacEnvy, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4Yeah ... WiFi behind the gateway, which means it's also blocked. No point in using the corporate network to avoid the filter on the corporate network, is there?
      • Anevilweasel, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2I've never had an issue with YouTube over edge...it is slower than wifi to cache video but not horribly so...unless you are one of those people that wants it yesterday...

  • bgrah449, on 04/25/2008, -1/+97I like how she calls herself the more electable candidate when she can't even get elected IN HER OWN PARTY.
    • kilt42, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2well she would have the popular vote, but only if you count a state where obama wasn't even on the ***** ballot.
      • MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Right, but as Olbermann points out, if you count that state and give the non-Hillary votes to Obama, he'd still be in the lead.
  • farkis, on 04/25/2008, -44/+5Absolutely true, she's always had an attitude. But John Stewart was much better when he was on MTV as a VJ.
  • bcclist, on 06/11/2008, -12/+10she still has a chance. ahahahahahahahaha.
    • jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6And she is going to take it all the way to the Denver convention. Whether she wins or loses, the battle will generate wonderful ammunition for the Republican party.
      • vade79, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4I don't know, seems like they are using up a lot of the ammunition now. I'm personally glad the Jeremiah Wright thing came out now, and any others that may come...gives it time to be digested. If that came out a week/month before people voted for president who knows how that would go.
        • jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1I guess the ammunition analogy might not apply. Ammunition can only be used once. But this Obama stuff is like a pepperoni pizza. It keeps coming back and repeating. And Tums won't help.
        • motivatedmama, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1The night of the Pa. primary I found myself wishing the Race Speech could have been put off a bit longer. It had already long saturated the media and the effect had worn off by Pa. The bitter comment however true, was a huge faux pas and the timing absolutely horrible! Then there was his refusal to dole out "street money" that hurt him with the urban black vote. What a snafu. All that aside, he's taken the heat and come out on top. Intelligence, ethics, and vision aside, that speaks volumes.
  • ivansusanin, on 04/25/2008, -8/+13studies show that 95% of americans don't know what to do in hypothetical situations
    • Jektal, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5Also, 80% of statistics are made up, and some people outright lie. Now, I have to go back to bed, Sarah Chalke's calling.
  • flaknugget, on 04/25/2008, -7/+20I have to wonder, do Americans still consider their country a democracy?

    The public voice, delivered both in votes and opinion polls has apparently become meaningless to politicians of the past 8 years.

    Although few embody that state of selective representation quite as loudly as Hillary's current campaign.
    • tacojohn48, on 04/25/2008, -0/+13It is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be a democracy. It is a republic.
      • insllvn, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4And in a Republic, the population democratically elects its representatives, although you may have a point in that the fact that most Americans are so ignorant of the details of how our government functions and what it is meant to be has contributed to our current situation. I disagree with the OP that a drawn out election means votes are meaningless to everyone, but they certainly seem meaningless to Clinton. Bush is a whole other story. The man is either a hell of an actor and a great liar, or he is a madman who truly believes he is doing gods work promoting his personal agenda in the middle east. Either way he has much bigger problems than his autocratic leanings. Which brings us back around to our problem, namely that we the people seem woefully ignorant not only of the semantics of our government, but its function and purpose.
    • wiihuck, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8still? i thought we were a constitutional republic. always have been.

    • Jektal, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3I've honestly always thought we had a Democratic Republic.
      Although this 'thread' is giving me Life of Brian flashbacks...
    • bieber, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1What are you talking about? Hillary can yell and scream and kick all she wants, but Obama's still going to be the nominee. Also, consider that these are primary elections, which are held within parties, not actual elections for governmental positions. Seriously, people, make sure you know what you're talking about before deciding to bash America...
  • davidg11, on 04/25/2008, -10/+36I realie why a lot of people hate Hillary....and why others need her..she talks down to you like you're a little child. Obama, in contrast, inspires. Democrats. As a whole, democrats think they are victims of everything. Therefore it is completely understandable that many need a "parent figure" like Hillary to talk down to them and take care of them.

    That's what a bloated govt is supposed to do..take from the rich and "take care of them". The other half want to be inspired to do something about what they see as a perceived mess in government. That's Obama's camp. They're still needy..after all they're democrats, but don't need to be coddled like Clinton would do to them.
    • bond1963, on 04/25/2008, -4/+6Actually, I'm a democrat still waiting for Obama to inspire me. So far I like what he is saying but I'm still waiting for his explanation on how he is going to do what he is saying. I'll probably vote for him - but inspired..... not really. But I'm open to be.

      For example, listening to him makes you want to believe he's a great uniter of people. If that's so how come the democrats are almost 50-50 divided on him? How come so many Billary people polled said they would vote repug instead of him? Maybe they were bluffing... Is he our best shot at the ideals he says he's for? Maybe. Is he what he says he is right now. I don't see it. I doubt many people expect any pres candidate to live up to what they say they will be though. Maybe I'm just a pessimist.... and maybe too many people are too optimistic.... Seems like the logical place to be is in the middle... Support your guy but question everything.... distrust your guys opponent but be open to new ideas or similarities to your guy.. don't be a fan boy for anybody.

      Just my oppinion...

        i mean 50-50?
      • skipdog172, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6I'm not sure what you expect from any presidential candidate. How do you "explain how he is going to do what he is saying"? Haven't you read his policy PDF? How more clear do you want it? Is he supposed to explain, in detail, his predictions of exactly how certain bills will get passed in the Senate or House or something??? I guess I just don't understand what kind of "explanation" you expect. He has layed out all of his policy goals, is he supposed to tell us how he can magically get support for them or something??
        • bond1963, on 04/25/2008, -2/+0Nope.... I just listen to his speeches, etc.. I don't read Billarys propaganda either. I suspect I'm in the majority in that regard. And I'm old enough to have heard it all before. Above I said "support your guy but question everything". That's all I'm doing. Why should I have to read though a pdf? If that's what I'm supposed to do it sure would cut down on the amount of time I have to listen to speeches... "I'm running for President. If you elect me things are going to be great. If you want to know how I'm going to do it then read my pdf. Thank you and God bless America." I guess I expect too much from any pres candidate like you alluded to.

          I just think anybody that becomes a fanboy of any candidate to the point that they don't question anything is going to be disappointed when things don't "magically" work out like their guy/gal said it would.
        • bpoteat, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3bond1963 - You want everything explained in detail but you don't want to read the document that does exactly that?
          • bond1963, on 04/25/2008, -1/+0Yes. I want them to look right into the camera and give details. Am I asking too much? (seriously asking because maybe I am)
          • Asrrin29, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3bond1963 - yes, you are asking too much. To go into fine detail of every aspect of his campaign would take entirely too much time and would bore a large majority of Americans. And the people who want to know about those fine details know exactly where to look. and it's not just online. Ask any volunteer of his campaign and they can hand you pamphlets that are the exact same thing. There are magazines and periodicals that have gone to great lengths to compare and contrast the points of campaign platforms. The debates (the first ones at least, these latest ones are nothing more then popularity contests) are designed to give out that sort of information. Giving victory speeches and answering questions about supposed scandals are not the time nor the place to give the details of a platform.
          • bond1963, on 04/25/2008, -2/+0You've got to at least admit that the vast majority, I'm guessing 90 + percent, of the people don't/won't do that. And it doesn't have to be "fine" deatil. There surely a way to strike a balance between speaking flowerdly, fluff words and boring the audience to death with every little detail. How many times have you heard a politician speak and you've thought to yourself, "Yeah right! And just how are you going to pull that little miracle off?"

            And, I'm just wondering here, are you a volunteer or in any way working or campaigning/volunteering for Obama? Have you seen these pamphlets? I can't image they would go into "fine" detail either.

            And I'll go look at Obamas pdf. The problem is that to be fair now I have to go read Billarys..... sigh
      • sallywally14, on 04/25/2008, -0/+0That's kind of annoying when people say that...how do you expect to find out their plan unless you research it? This isn't just aimed at you---it's just that you will never find out the plan in a speech or in a timed debate, so that's all you will hear. A lot of people say that, no matter what candidate.
    • jaytek13, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Nice stereotyping. Hm, and Republicans are all that way because they love money and hate gays and blacks and believe woman should be barefoot in the kitchen spitting out babies until they drop

      See, I can do it, too!
      • Kenzan, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3That a pretty accurate depiction of Republicans, actually.
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4Bush, a Republican, has increased the size of government more than any other President. Just the facts.

      I'm an Independent Moderate btw. Most people are moderate.
      • Kazbaeden, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Bush is a Rupublican only by title.
    • jerbaker, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Interesting. I have found that, in general, Democrats are really for what Republicans pretend to be for: family values, personal responsibility, accountability, integrity, and honesty. Republicans make a lot of noise about these things, but whenever it comes time to hold banks accountable for selling shoddy loans to homeowners, there's no will to hold them accountable; when a company makes defective products that hurt or kill people, they're not responsible; when it comes time to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to family values, Republicans believe it's more important to punish bad parents by taking away government aid than it is to make sure their children get to eat and don't pay the price for their parents' behavior; whenever anyone suggests that we can pool our resources together to achieve something that we cannot all achieve individually, Republicans attack it as socialism (see healthcare, public education ,etc.). It just goes on and on. Republicans are a party of self-interested, ignorant, lying aristocrats who are perfectly willing to continue their parasitic existence on the backs of the general population.

      Next time someone tells you they got rich by hard work, ask them whose.
      • motivatedmama, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2How bout Republicans being "pro-life and then gleefully chucking thousands into prison to die. Since the advent of DNA we are finding that hundreds sentenced to death are in fact innocent. What do these "pro-life" Republicans do?
        Enter H.R.3035, otherwise known as the Streamlined Procedures Act.
        Let's not forget their sick willingness to use force and start wars thus killing untold millions more.
        The pro-life thing? A nice fat carrot for the religious in an attempt to garner support.
  • mochaman, on 04/25/2008, -2/+20F**k the voters, her own word coming to bite her in the ass, and she says that Obama is an elitist?
  • AGraybosch, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7I'll be curious if MSNBC or CNN broadcasts this great clip from Jon Stewart. How rediculous has theis process become? Forget any impact on the Democratic party, how is this being viewed by people in other countries around the world? I can't imagine the countries who haven't supported us for being in Iraq, think this "election" makes us look any better.
  • tlm2021, on 04/25/2008, -1/+20Finally. It's kind of the ***** that makes me unable to vote for Hillary in any election. And it's been even more frustrating that the marginalization of the actual voting results has been ignored. Instead let's focus on pastors, flag pins and Bosnia. THIS is why Hillary lost my vote. Having the super delegates overturn the clear will of the people will do far more damage to the Democratic party and to the country as a whole than having Obama vs. McCain in the fall.

    And you want to talk about patronizing. "They just vote on whatever, and that's part of the process." That's flat out demeaning to the American people.
    • Balks, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3I agree with your reaction to her comment about how voters simply go to a rally/watch ads/yadda yadda yadda, and simply vote. It's insulting and down right rude. I hate the woman with a passion and I pray to god she isn't in charge of our military when I ship out. If you people think Bush is doing a horse ***** job, just wait. Clinton will find a way to screw it up even more so, I guarantee it. The only candidates i would trust with my life are Obama and McCain.

      The reason why I trust these two is for two separate reasons. Obama will get us out safely and McCain will get ***** under control. Both have my support.
  • meltlight, on 04/25/2008, -0/+18AND... Hillary and most of the media forget a huge truth about the actual popular vote. the votes counted at Caucuses are not individual ballots-- they're representative of precincts and districts. that's why the vote totals are well below primary vote totals.

    if you count the actual individual votes from Caucuses, Obama's pop-vote increases by two million (at the very least).
    • KLBP, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2EXACTLY! Hillary's vote count math does not count the popular vote of many caucus states and she lost by huge margins in these states. The margin of her own numbers is so small that there is no doubt that Obama leads the real popular vote if the actual vote count from caucus states were counted EVEN if you still counted MI & FL.
  • simonwright, on 04/25/2008, -1/+16Jon Stewart is brilliant. When the rest of the media is content feeding you with rice ration non-stories and discussion about male genitalia, The Daily Show tells it like it is.

  • Miamisun, on 04/25/2008, -1/+22Has someone had the balls to explain to her why she had more votes in Michigan and Florida. She was not supposed to be on the ballot either just like Obama was not in michigan. Than at the last minute she used a loop hole to get her name on the ballot. She knew that she would be able to spew this ***** down the line. She campaigned in Florida and Michigan even though she knew the results would not count. Obama did not. Who the hell is she to start preaching that the voters want to be heard.
    • jaytek13, on 04/25/2008, -11/+0Typical Obama supporter.... absolutely clueless about the election process, politics, and life in general. Obama made the decision himself to withdrawal himself from the Michigan ballot, He could have been on it if he wanted, but he elected to give a general "f u" to Michigan voters. Hillary pulled no strings to get on it.

      But, you're an Obama supporter, delusional and dumb, so I wouldn't expect you to know that.
      • CrackyJSquirrel, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8LOLZ.. A typical Hillary supporter.. Ignoring the facts and bending the truth to fit their delusion.. This was a sad sad attempt, because everyone with a 5th grade education knows how the primaries work and why Michigan and Florida do not count.

      • BigPapi, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Jaytek, are you that ***** delusional? Michigan and Florida broke the party rules. They knew if they wanted to be counted, they would have to push their dates back and they still went ahead with their plans. Obama took his name off the ballot to stand for the rules of the Democratic party's primary election process. What did Hillary do? Nothing... and now she's trying to take advantage of it.
      • motivatedmama, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2What Hillary *really* thinks about the vote in Michigan. I bet she wishes she hadn't said this now......

If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.” - george carlin
      • pojut, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2"Shame on you for not voting. Absolutely disgusting."

        Actually, what you posted is absolutely disgusting.

        Men and women died for our right to CHOOSE to vote. Many countries either don't allow you to vote, or FORCE you to vote. America is one of the few places on earth where you are free to CHOOSE to vote.

        That word choose is very important in this regard.

      • vade79, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Everyone thinks they can predict the future. There are entirely too many variables to process the final result at this point, Nostradamus.
      • EtherGnat, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3JointVenture can predict the future with ease, using polls. For instance on 3/27 he said:

        "Wake up Sparky and read the polls, McCain leads Obama by double digits." http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Obama_s_Speech_o ...

        He was referring to a poll by Rasmussen Tracking that had McCain leading Obama by 10 points. Unfortunately the "future" changes--that same poll now has the two tied (Obama was up by 2 points in the Rasmussen poll that was up yesterday). If having a double digit lead was significant, then losing it in less than a month must be REALLY significant.

        Pay attention to this guy at your own peril.
      • EtherGnat, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1"More women will vote for McCain if the Democratic nominee is Obama."

        Not so much:

        "Overall, there is a three-way tie between the three remaining candidates among women, with Clinton receiving 27%, while Obama and McCain each received 25%. Overall, this netted 52% for the Democrats vs. half of that for the GOP; 17% of women said they were completely undecided." http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/10/ ...

        There's not a signfiicant difference between the two candidates based on the population at large. Old white women--Hillary's biggest base--tend to go for McCain anyway.
    • unmarked, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Actually, it is more likely that many Obama supporters will just give up on the political process -- noting it as corrupt and having nothing to do with actually solving the problems this country faces. They'll stay home and the status quo (under Clinton or McCain) would continue. Both Clinton and McCain represent generations of people that seem happy to spend their grandchildren's future away without a care.
      What we are seeing is the beginning of a generational conflict -- the future generation (represented by Obama) is not going to be content with the current generation (Clinton & McCain) spending away their future for another 4-8 years.
    • xenuxenuts, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I would, but I can't. We can't maintain the level of debt we're piling up, especially since it's mostly wasted. It'd be one thing if it was at least invested in something useful, like higher education or research that would benefit US companies, but it's not.

So she downplays anything that shows she isn't winning. The fact that Comedy Central is a source for election coverage is quite apropos considering American politics is a ***** joke.

    Throw all their names in a bag and pick one at random. Because they are all lying, egotistical, self-centered bastards who will say anything to get you to vote for them.
