Who Dugg It?

sullivanst, on 09/17/2008, -32/+254She just... can't... stop... herself from... LYING.
And nor can her boss.
- webwatch, on 09/18/2008, -6/+45She even lied about the Teleprompter breaking down during her RNC speech.
  - kingjam, on 09/18/2008, -15/+2God damn I hate ***** people on digg.
  - billymeade, on 09/18/2008, -0/+9Luckily, there's plenty of other people to *****.
- DiggzDE, on 09/18/2008, -2/+27Next we are going to find out that McCain and Palin are lying and really aren't running for the position of President and Vice President.
  
  Instead, they are going to be trying out for the next season of "America's Got Talent" with a short musical act about an old ventriloquist dummy falling in love with a female Pinocchio puppet as they fight against the repressive voice of the American population calling for change and truth.
  
  A must see of course! I hear there will be a special guest appearance by Bush and Cheney. Something about sticking their hands up McCain and Palin's backside to help make them sing.
  - pizzatonight, on 09/18/2008, -13/+1I am surprised how wacked DIGG is for Obama - going to such extreme to attack Palin. But it does show how the democrates do not respect women - just those with liberal policies - and how the democrates do not respect retirees - constantly bashing McCain as the evil, old guy who could die at any minute so he can't be president.
    
    Obama and Biden have never reached across the aisle, they consistently want to blame all America's problems on those who build America - hard working middle class middle Americans who do love America.
    
    I am more confident every day that Obama will lose and specifically because the Obama crowd relegated its supports (as you can see in who is writing these posts) to either anti-american non-americans (those who love Michael Moore) and 18-20 something males who take brakes from writing posts on DIGG to drudge up some internet porn - if you read closely - the anti-palin comments are exactly what you would expect from a young male after they have been swimming through miles of porn where women are crass objects forced to do things these males would never want to happen to them.
  - HartgE46, on 09/18/2008, -0/+5WOW. It must feel SO good to have it all figured out. Tell me what it's like... please? Your stereotypical views paint YOU as the closed minded brainwashed soul. Get over yourself. I'm for one am over this whole Palin ***** as well, this isn't at all important in the grand scheme of things. She's pandering to the feminists in the crowd... what politician doesn't try and do that.
    
    But don't paint yourself as a "True Patriot" who "loves this country" simply because you're a Republican. That's the kind of blind narcissism that got us into this mess.
    
    And I have to tell you, for just that very reason I'm confident McCain is going to lose.
  - akphidelt, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2@pizzatonight
    
    Instead of judging liberals by reading Digg posts, try getting out of the house and experiencing real democratic voters. Go to a local democratic meeting and see for yourself what the democratic party is made up of. You will see elders who have lost a significant amount of their retirement, you will see young people who are genuinely interested in politics and helping out the country, and you will just get a much better feel of who liberals really are.
    
    Cause I'm not going to lie, I like reading Digg cause all the articles, but the commenters really do paint a horrible picture towards liberals. But you will see the difference if you get out of your house.
    
    P.S. I realize this is hypocritical since im posting on Digg, but I'm at work... and I have been to numerous democratic rallies and meetings.
  - DiggzDE, on 09/18/2008, -0/+4Wow. People sure got butt hurt about a little joke.
    
    Hey Pizzatonight, I've got something that will blow your mind. I'm a registered republican. More so, I voted to keep Bush in office in 2004. Don't assume that everyone who dislikes McCain is some hippy, liberal, democrat who has never crossed party lines.
    
    McCain does not deserve to win simply because he isn't the best man for the job. If he couldn't beat Bush in 2000 in the primaries, why is he suddenly good enough now in 2008? I'm not going to vote for a "barely good enough" president simply because he is Republican. How will he be of worth when he wasn't good enough to be president the first time around?
- goes211, on 09/18/2008, -17/+101) Family reaction - Nowhere does it say she had not already told McCain yes by the time she ran it by the GIRLS.
  
  2) Gibson interview - When you are asked to be VP you say yes without hesitation. She must have at least known she was on the short list. If she was not interested, that would be the time to let McCain know. Otherwise you have a situation where a mostly inexperienced Governor, turns down the VP slot. That could be very damaging if it ever got out so I am sure that only people that would say yes are ever asked.
  
  3) McCain communications director - Could she be lying or at least not have the whole story? Why is it assumed that this person is infallible?
  
  4) First Dude - Don't see what is contradictory in his statement? If anything that seems consistent with 1).
  
  Potentially inconsistent. YES Pathological. NO
  
  I am sure someone can find statement from Obama that are at least that inconsistent. It would not make he pathological but it would make him a politician.

  lies, lies, lies
- bullhead2007, on 09/18/2008, -1/+13I get it. She's a lying piece of crap mom.
  
  Buy seriously Digg, can we stop with the front page being covered with attacks just on Palin's character? Why don't we try talking about the issues for more than 5 minutes.
  
  Before you digg me down, I have no sympathy for someone who believes that the Flintstones was a documentary.
- BuboTitan, on 09/18/2008, -10/+6Boy you guys are getting desperate for new material.
  - shampoovta, on 09/18/2008, -1/+3Emails,.. Oink.
    
    You guys are scum.
- gridity, on 09/18/2008, -2/+2I really dislike Palin in general and there's no way in hell I'm voting for this god-awful team, BUT...in fairness, isn't it possible she ran this *possibillity* by the girls before she got her official "offer letter" from McCain? And by the time she got the offer, she was ready and yadda yadda no blinky blink for her?
  
  Like when you interview for a job - you usually don't know for a few days if you got it or not... at which point you talk with the family about what it would mean if you did (it might mean moving or a pay cut or whatnot). Couldn't she mean she talked with them during this time - when she knew she was a potential VP candidate, was on the short-list, etc.
  
  I mean, I had the same reaction when I saw her interview - "You didn't blink? You mean, you didn't even talk to your husband and children about this? Especially your pregnant daughter, whose condition would clearly be pushed into the limelight... You didn't *stop to think*, you just answered? Huh?"
  - mgraham80, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2No, it isn't possible. It was announced by the McCain campaign at the time they rolled out Palin that the fact she had been chosen as the VP nom was kept a secret from her family, even as they flew to Ohio for the first rally. The kids were told they were visiting Ohio for some kind of anniversary celebration.
- BadgerDigger, on 09/18/2008, -3/+2Neither can the DK.
- spankaccount, on 09/18/2008, -5/+1Ha, Turns out the real lies are coming from DailyKos, not Palin! lol!
  - mgraham80, on 09/19/2008, -0/+1I don't get the joke.
- evandror, on 09/19/2008, -3/+0
  - mgraham80, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2Make some research? LOL.
    But seriously, "his head adviser?" You mean the person who was on his VP selection committee? Right, not quite a "head adviser." Also, he was CEO during the 90s. I know you morons like to blame every problem on Clinton or the Democrats, but this is getting crazy.
gnocchi1442, on 09/17/2008, -33/+341Bush with a bush.
- packerdawl, on 09/18/2008, -23/+5She probably doesn't even shave or wax-- total dick move.
- Narcowski, on 09/18/2008, -3/+20I see what you did there.
- AnOMNOMymous, on 09/18/2008, -14/+7That's sexist.
  - HeroOfRhyme, on 09/18/2008, -0/+18We don't even know if she actually has a bush. In my fantasies, she does not.
    
    THAT'S probably sexist. So sorry.
  - PintOfGuinness, on 09/18/2008, -1/+10In my fantasies she has loads of hair everywhere running down her inner thighs and up to her belly button, fair to say most guys would agree with me.
  - HeroOfRhyme, on 09/18/2008, -0/+17Your fantasy has killed my fantasy, and most fantasies I might have later had.
  - pizzatonight, on 09/18/2008, -10/+0I knew this Anti-Palin Digg crowd is a bunch of 20 something males who take breaks from scurrying through internet porn to write a post or two - I'm also guessing you're all a bunch of college kids gettting paid for by the Obama camp.
    
    If you are watching porn all day, your seeing women as stupid - will do anything you want - pieces of crap - who do things you wouldn't want done to you (can you say fist up the ....).
    
    This shows why we need a woman in the VP position - we have to stop this country's degradation of women.
    
    And Biden wants to tax us out of this problem? He wants us to pay taxes and feel patriotic? How idiotic is that washington insider? If Obama get's elected - all the middle class will suffer - but for you twenty somethings - you may have your porn to keep you warm.
  - renastar23, on 09/18/2008, -0/+5I am not a twenty something male, and I agree that Palin is a joke. Sure i would like a woman to be VP, or even president, but I would like to have her be a QUALIFIED candidate. By forcing rape victims to pay for emergency contraception and std testing, promoting abstinence only sex education, saying she would deny a woman's right to choose, exhibiting gross abuses of power and cronyism, fiscal incompetence and lack of understanding of financial regulatory bodies, and forcing her strict religious "morals" on the people, she has made herself into the joke we see her as today.
    
    P.S. have you actually looked at Obama's tax plan and compared It to McCain's? The middle class has a much bigger tax break through Obama's. Please research your statement's and don't just spew Republican talking points...
  - AnOMNOMymous, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2@pizzatonight
    
    So is it cool if I bring my college bros over to your place for some pizza tonight? It'll be a sweet frat party and I'll totally pass out some Obama pamphlets!

- CavalierEternal, on 09/18/2008, -1/+3I got a feeling that Pres. Bush doesn't shave his either...
  - Fracture98, on 09/18/2008, -0/+4Shave it? He probably prays for forgiveness if he accidentally touches it.
  - DreKor, on 09/18/2008, -0/+5either way, I'm more comfortable not knowing.

- mcbunn, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1I dislike the GOP's practices as much as the next guy, but could we stop with the childish rhyming/word combination ***** already? It's not funny or clever, and when you add the emphasis like this you sound like an even bigger idiot.

ProLick, on 09/17/2008, -18/+62Bush with a bush. That was beautiful. Guiness should have a record category for liars so all the fantasy league players can have some fun with this.
- cornerback42, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Fantasy Politics would be tight.
  
  The object should be to closest to zero wins.
  
  You choose 5-8 senators/presidents/reps/governers per team.
  
  Each lie they tell is -1.
  Each truth is +1.
  Each vote they make +1.
  Each one they miss -1.
  
  Rules would be you have to have a set number of independents, recraplicans, and democraps on your team for the scoring to qualify.
  
  Team closest to zero wins. Tie goes to team with most republicans and wins (cause its harder to win when every word they say is a lie, youd have to counter that with some strong truth tellers).
  
  The draft pool is all elected officials or in the case of president you may choose ONE candidate.
  
  The scoring and rules can be revised, as the game is developed.
mgraham80, on 09/18/2008, -19/+199What's the difference between Bush and Sarah Palin?

Uh, no, seriously, that wasn't a joke. What's the difference?
- MonsterSound, on 09/18/2008, -2/+148lipstick
  - kinneys, on 09/18/2008, -0/+3Well Bush did go through the Skull and Bones initiation ceremony. This involves a open casket and lots of nudity, I will leave it at that.
    
    He probably has wore more lipstick than her in his stint with fellow politicians. ;-)
- SheilaNoya, on 09/18/2008, -4/+68Bush can only speak one language (gibberish).
  
  Palin can speak in rehearsed soundbites. When possesed by Jesus, she can also speak in tongues.
  - boot20, on 09/18/2008, -0/+17That's it...you've just nailed it. She speaks sound bites. When you listen to her ramble on, it's just boring, but the sound bites are golden. Rush and Hannity take the best nuggest, and play them OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
    
    If I f'ing hear that god damn pit bull with a lipstick comment, I swear my hair is going to catch fire.
- ZeeZee2k, on 09/18/2008, -3/+65bush knows what the bush doctrine is?
  - fxu1989, on 09/18/2008, -0/+12I doubt he even knows his own doctrine.
  - Narcowski, on 09/18/2008, -0/+30No he doesn't, Rove and Cheney wrote that.
  - kelway, on 09/18/2008, -12/+2To which version of the bush doctrine do you refer? The one daddy Charlie incorrectly cited as the current one?
  - mrtrevin, on 09/18/2008, -0/+3Kelway, the important thing is that Palin didn't know about ANY bush doctrine.
- AndrewDB, on 09/18/2008, -2/+7Ones from Alaska ones from Texas?
- one1plus1one, on 09/18/2008, -15/+2You can't teach a bush to open up to you like a vagina, but you can teach a vagina to open up to Sarah... um wait... sorry that doesn't quite work as the punch line. Nevermind. Freudian slip.
- Nephrastar, on 09/18/2008, -6/+3Bush doesn't name his kids after pet names and Palin's more pleasing to look at.
- DBLOCK916, on 09/18/2008, -15/+2Bush is done. Palin is just starting.

The media is being unfair by demanding access to her. It's not like she might be our president.. oh wait.
Qorzm, on 09/18/2008, -19/+23She has people telling her what to lie about. It's not her, it's the McCain campaign.
- gnocchi1442, on 09/18/2008, -0/+16No, it's her. If the McCain campaign was telling you to lie, would you do it?
  - OrangeTide, on 09/18/2008, -6/+3I would do it just on principle. The American people get what the deserve.
- hanielperigueux, on 09/18/2008, -0/+9Are you implying that she had to check her brain into deep-freeze upon accepting the nomination?
  
  Well, in her case, maybe not.
- uppitydiggers, on 09/18/2008, -6/+0Quite unlike Obama. His lies are his own creations.
  - h3lx, on 09/18/2008, -0/+3name one.
  - uppitydiggers, on 09/18/2008, -4/+0He'll pull us out of Afghanistan and Iraq immediately. That was a laugher. The FISA smoke he blew up the public's collective ass was another bit of comedy too. I also enjoyed his pledge to take public financing.
  - h3lx, on 09/19/2008, -0/+1"Obama spokesman Bill Burton on Thursday called public financing "an option that we wanted on the table," but said "there is no pledge" to take the money and the spending limitations that come with it. --Associated Press report, Feb. 17, 2008"
    --"The senator from Arizona has spent $58.4 million on his Republican primary effort. Those who have committed to public financing can spend no more than $54 million on their primary bid." --March 24, 2008, Boston/ AP/ CNN/ NY Times/ LA Times.--
    
    FISA pissed everyone off.
    
    His position on Iraq has evolved as the situation evolves, I'm liking Paul's stance on the matter but to put it bluntly, all he's essentially done is change the timescale for withdrawal- no different than what McCain/ Bush/ and every other swinging dick with an opinion on the subject... your argument in invalid. Obama's ***** is coming up roses.
    
    Obama isn't making up slanderous *****. He hasn't made outlandish assumptions on McCain's positions. Obama hasn't said one thing at 0900 and changed his position by 1200... besides,
    
    "his lies are his own creations..." as opposed to the ones being dictated to McCain by his GOP puppetmasters. McCain is/was a reasonable, smart individual and I supported him 2004, I would have voted for a 2004 McCain, but you can't honestly look me in the eye and tell me Palin was a well rounded reasonable choice for VP. Seriously, there's no one more qualified? My Ass. Sen Hutchinson (R-TX) would have swayed my vote... Instead of a sensible debate on matters that concern all of us, we're forced to sit back and listen to the same 12 talking points or his reaction to whatever manufactured outrage to whatever the Obama camp schools him on. He's running a reactionary election. If he takes the initiative he'd take the lead, but instead he's dwelling on two week old ***** slander that was never relevant to begin with...
catherder702, on 09/18/2008, -20/+53Palin's popularity is tanking and for good reason. She'd be better off if she kept her yap shut, but I pray she just keeps shoveling the manure out. I still can't get over the utter crap about charging RAPE VICTIMS FOR EVIDENCE COLLECTION KITS?!? WT?!? What is it with Republicans and rape? McCain thinks small children should be victimized b;y pedophiles and Palin wants to use government to rape victims financially after the first crime. I thought the whole thing was some wacky story The Onion came up with and then instead of a punch line I got smacked with an ugly truth. Sarah Palin supports rapists and John McCain supports child molesters.
- insticate, on 09/18/2008, -3/+17Here's a very convincing theory of why Palin didn't want the government to pay for the rape kits: It contained emergency contraception... you know, something she hates.

- UncommonSoap, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Alright dude, I'm a Dem and I certainly don't like anything about McCain or Palin, but don't sink to their level. They don't SUPPORT that which they choose not to fund, they just dont give a *****. Its the same argument that Pro-Life supporters use, they say Pro-choice means pro-killing babies. That of course simply isnt the case. Yes, Palin and McCain dont care about the child molestation and rape victims, but they dont support molesters and rapists. Lets stay above their dirty talk, we have the higher ground.
  - renastar23, on 09/19/2008, -0/+0Exactly!!! Pro-choice is about keeping the government and religious morality from dictating what a women can and cannot do with her own body. Keeping people educated about sex, stds and pregnancy, and giving them the tools to keep themselves healthy and safe. Would i personally have an abortion? No. Am i pro-choice? Of course!! And for someone to say that a victim of rape should bear the fruit of that horrible act is absolutely ridiculous! What about a victim of incest? Come on people...think!!!
    
    And yes, Palin and McCain don't support rapists and child molesters, they just don't care about their victims...which, in my opinion may be worse.

  Or perhaps people are just sick and tired of the eight years of ***** we've had to put up with from these people who call themselves Republicans (but are no more real Republicans than I am from Pluto).

- ajde, on 09/18/2008, -1/+1Yeah, it's sensationalized, but with all the astoundingly blatant lies, deception and ***** they (the media, the politicians, etc) expect us to believe, I think it gets harder and harder for the media to keep a reserved standpoint, and harder for us to digest information without being immediately shocked/outraged/dumbfounded. Other than trying to get attention, I think the sensationalism has almost become a knee-jerk reaction (mostly of disgust) to yet another lie from the mouth of someone who might be -leading our country- (and I'm not just talking about Palin), because we've already endured eight years of this misery, and we're horrified at withstanding any more.

janitorc7, on 09/18/2008, -32/+22I'm sorry, but nothing in there is any proof that she lied, its simply looking for things that you can turn into something that may mildly resemble a lie.

Maybe, she did ask her daughters, I mean, she was being considered, since around april, granted she was not talked about that much, but there is quite a good chance that the discussion did come up before she was being asked, so, there is a good chance that they did not know that she had been "SELECTED" by McCain. I see no blatant lie. Get real.
- Zarmao, on 09/18/2008, -8/+8Why lie to the kids about the trip to Ohio if they already knew she was under consideration? Why confiscate their cellphones and tell them to shut-up and not ask questions if the family already voted weeks before? Makes no sense at all.
  
  Palin is definately a person who is driven to get what she wants. She seems to have a very tenuous grip on facts and is happy to spew out whatever spin suits her current purpose.
  - eryximachus, on 09/18/2008, -9/+6Why do you know so much about her personal life? Maybe you should get one of your own! Every parent lies to their child. Ever hear of Santa Claus? Christ.
  - treedude, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2@eryximachus
    
    So just because parents lie to their kids about Santa, that means it is ok to lie to them about anything?
    
    Palin has every right to decline answering any questions that are not political in nature. She chooses to talk about her personal life. If she is going to lie about that, you can bet she will lie about other things.
- kelway, on 09/18/2008, -5/+3It doesn't so much matter whether she lied or not... It's a lynch mob in these parts. And these fraggles think Fox news is an atrocity -- look in the mirror bitches.

  Um, direct quotes by Palin that conflict on a fact?
  
  One statement that she accepted immediately, and another quote she put the issue to vote with her family.
  One quote is a lie.
  Even for a NeoCon.
Poobah6, on 09/18/2008, -25/+17So both can't be true?

I am being considered for the VP slot - lets vote.

Weeks later she is asked to VP and accepts without blinking.

Get a grip.
- ldkronos, on 09/18/2008, -2/+4And I'm sure that's how they'll attempt to cover their asses on this one, but I doubt that's what really happened.
- bbatsell, on 09/18/2008, -1/+8Read further down. Todd Palin has specifically said that none of the girls knew the real reason they were flying to Ohio for the announcement (they were told it was for Todd and Sarah's wedding anniversary) and that he forbade them from asking questions. That doesn't seem to be a situation that is credible if they had openly talked about the possibility days or weeks earlier.
- PhilLesh69, on 09/18/2008, -0/+6Weeks later? She didn't know she was being considered for the VP position until she got the phone call.
  
  You know, the phone call where she said "yes"?
  - samk, on 09/18/2008, -2/+0Um, no. YOU didn't know. She started pitching herself for the job months earlier.
- Serenity101, on 09/18/2008, -2/+2Can't stand her, but I'm with Poobah and janitorc7 on this one.
  
  I believe it's possible that she was advised that she was "a" (possible) nominee for the Veep position, then asked her family to vote in case she became "the" (chosen) nominee.
  
  Because they had voted yes, she then accepted without blinking when the time came.
  
  I believe that scenario is possible (and it will be the Republicans' story either way).
  
  As for not knowing she was being considered until she got the phone call -- and sealed the deal during that very same phone call -- that doesn't seem plausible to me. /shrug
  
  Seriously getting tired of all of this mud-slinging on 'fluff' issues, though. Neither side is coughing up any substance on the real issues at hand. And what's with McCain and Palin both skirting questions by answering something that hasn't even been asked, instead offering up whatever they want to say, from way out in left field ... and thinking nobody's gonna notice?
  - CharlieBlix, on 09/18/2008, -1/+2I'm with you on this one Serenity. I'm no fan of Palin but come on. With everything that is wrong about her views and lack of understanding of the world around her is there any point at all for this silly mud slinging. Digg stuff about the issues please. This crap in no better then a Fox News segment.
    
    Oh and Serenity if you want to see something pretty cool check out Obamas new TV ad. Its just 2 mins of him talking about one of the issues (Economy). That was a breath of fresh air.

  - billymeade, on 09/18/2008, -0/+0Ha - right. If a similar article about Joe Biden came out of RushLimbaugh.com, you'd be bitching, too.

- PleaseJustDie, on 09/18/2008, -3/+9Yes, yes, believe the lies spread by this instead of actually looking at the facts. Go you mindless digg sheep and believe everything you read on this site that time and time again is proven false and spreading outright lies.
  
  Maybe you guys should actually read something other than this crap, or maybe even read some stuff from opposing sides and non-partisan sources, that way you can have a view from all angles and make an informed decision instead of intentionally giving yourself tunnel vision and ignoring all the truths that conflict with what you want to believe and believing all the lies that would help enforce your beliefs.
  
  But wait, what am I talking about... This is Digg, if you have an informed opinion and make your decision after extensive research and decide to vote for the candidate that best represents your own beliefs and it doesn't coincide with the collective circle jerk you must be wrong.
  - WiretapStudios, on 09/18/2008, -2/+1My own beliefs state that John McCain and Palin are sleazy liars running a sleazy campaign. My sources? The words coming out of their mouths, their convention, and their commercials.
    
    If you think this is a circle jerk, you should see the circle jerk when McCain loses. Just try not to get any in your eyes.
  - PleaseJustDie, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1And I could form the exact same opinion about Obama because of the lies coming from his mouth, his campaign and his convention and his commercials.
    
    Yep, your candidate of choice doesn't tell the whole truth either, so don't be a hypocrite. This is politics, candidates stretch the truth to make their opponent look worse. Of course now you have Obama lying about McCain's character while McCain is just lying about Obama's policies.
    
    Look at both sides and the middle to make an informed decision, you are part of the collective circle jerk.
- PhilLesh69, on 09/18/2008, -3/+6PleaseJustDie, they should also have a link to "ban the ideologue who watches only Fox News".
  
  Isn't it enough that you guys always report any story that you disagree with as "being inaccurate"?
  - PleaseJustDie, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2I don't mark stories inaccurate until I've read them and researched the allegations. And I've then marked several HuffPost and DailyKos stories inaccurate because they generally tend to leave out details and twist facts and several can be disproved by reading their own sources.
    
    And FYI, I don't watch "only Fox News" in fact I rarely watch fox news, I get most of my information from a variety of news outlets and organizations. And if you want to ban me all you people need to do is block me and report me, if enough people do that, its possible I could get banned, then you don't have to listen to my opinion that I have formed from looking at a variety of sources and not just the filth being spewed on digg.

    They should put everyone who doesn't watch Fox News into concentration camps. Just think about the revenue that Amtrak could make!
    
    I guess they would need to come up with some sort of device to make sure the liberals didn't just turn Fox News on to appear neocon, and then just leave their homes to do all those liberal things that liberals do, like go to museums, get an education, read books, or engage in the world. We can't have cheaters avoiding the camps. We would need something to ensure that they were actually watching Fox News for the prescribed number of hours to be good little neocons.
  - PhilLesh69, on 09/19/2008, -0/+1I only wish I could be a liberal. I'd be getting laid 4 times as much as I am now. But then again, maybe that's because I work for a news organization, and in the only department with conservatives (besides the CEO, Editor In Chief, and all the other upper management). Web Development is an all male department, and predominantly conservative, like the rest of the "non-journalist" portions of the publishing business. But I've had some amazing nights after going to a happy hour with a bunch of 24 and 25 year old Copy Editors, Fact Checkers, Research Reporters and Associate Editors. Then again, maybe it isn't because they are liberals, but because they are journalism majors, but they love to drink and *****.
    
    I just know if I agreed with their politics, more of these hot little recent college grads would be asking me to walk them home after happy hour, and inviting me up for "coffee". I don't even get points for hating Bush, because I'm still a traditional conservative and can't abide some of their more radical ideas.

Zarmao, on 09/18/2008, -7/+23Is it supposed to be admirable that they lied to their kids? Flew them across the country on a transparent lie and just told them to shut-up and don't ask questions? I think the original story revealed what a pair of power-mad asshats the Palins are. So they changed the story, stupidly thinking that nobody would check up on it. Can this lady possibly make herself less appealing?
- PhilLesh69, on 09/18/2008, -0/+5But that is appealing to the class of intellect that supports the neocons.
  
  These are not intellectually honest people they are trying to appeal to. They are morally and intellectually bankrupt soccer moms and nascar dads who are probably just one more financial crisis away from completely melting down and going postal in their workplace.
- ajde, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1If that had been my mom, and especially if I were pregnant (or, bust out your tinfoil hat, had just *had* a baby) I would lose my *****. It's really not fair to these kids, and there are a lot of them. If I had been in Palin's place, there isn't a chance I wouldn't have discussed it with them, thoroughly and truthfully, beforehand. Governor of Alaska and VP of the whole ***** US is a big difference in public scrutiny, and those kids are probably going to be scarred for years by some of the aspects of the attention. This is the sort of stuff that can make a kid hate a mother, and Palin, it appears, just didn't really care that much.
  
  Psh. How can the so-called "mom vote" go to her? It seems obvious that she disregards all that's best for her kids. And that, to me, suggests that loyalty and honesty aren't very important to her.
ccdp9500, on 09/18/2008, -5/+13Doesn't surprise me, I just hope the rest of America sees these people for who they really are

You guys are really grasping here.....attack Palin, go ahead, you'll be twice as angry and frustrated when she is VP.
- emeralddragon, on 09/18/2008, -9/+6Yeah what a campaign Obama is running to get whooped by some podunk Alaska governor. Have you noticed? No one talks about Obama anymore.
  - inigomntoya, on 09/18/2008, -5/+3Yup - and Biden is just an after thought. The only sound bites I hear about him are when he commands (in the name of Obama) for a crippled man to stand. And when it goes horribly wrong, he commands the audience to rise instead.
    Why hasn't the smear machine gone after Biden? Why hasn't anyone hacked HIS email account (I would LOVE to see someone do that BTW - the feds wouldn't appreciate someone accessing a federal email server).
    This is just more Obama funders grasping at straws while their dingy sinks to the bottom of the East River...
  - phillipj06, on 09/18/2008, -1/+2Whats even better is that you think Obama is running against Palin. Just to let you know he is running against McCain, not Palin. Thought I'd clear that up for you.
- Deanblackoak, on 09/18/2008, -2/+2You know something that just ain't gonna happen.
- UncommonSoap, on 09/18/2008, -2/+1In your dreams buddy, we aren't letting that kind of ***** happen.
fromaworld, on 09/18/2008, -17/+22Umm... yea... I don't see how those statements are contradictory.

From the way I understood it, Sarah Palin had known she was a possibility and had asked her daughters a few weeks prior what they thought of her being the VP pick so that in case she was chosen she would know how they felt about it.
- digitalagent, on 09/18/2008, -1/+8That might be the way you understand it, but that's not the way it was told. Can you point to your source as the writer sourced 4 different scenarios? But then we must defend the liars or we will look like buffoons for supporting them.
  - OrangeTide, on 09/18/2008, -1/+2the basic logic of the argument is flawed. no need to cite sources.
  - digitalagent, on 09/18/2008, -2/+4Exactly. Why cite any sources when what we say is what we believe- facts be damned! Much like Palin's answer when asked whether or not she thought she was qualified to be VP or even president, "I do, Charlie..." Never really answered why, just thought, "well if I think I'm qualified, I must be qualified." Seriously, you think it, you say it, so it must be so.
    
    Here's a little logic for you- it's called inductive inference:
    Palin either lied when she said that her children voted on her decision to accept the nomination for VP, or McCain's own communications director did when he said, "While there, Governor Palin’s children, who had been told they were going to Ohio to celebrate their parents’ wedding anniversary, were told for the first time that their mother would be a nominee for Vice President of the United States of America." http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/29/ ... Or Pain's husband lied when he said that the children had no idea. Or Pain herself lied when she told Charlie Gibson that she didn't "blink" when she agreed to be the VP candidate.
    
    So through multiple observations, I have come to the logical conclusion that Sarah Palin is a pathological liar.
  - Calinthalus, on 09/18/2008, -2/+3That is what is referred to as a false dichotomy. None of the things you specified invalidates any of the other things. This is not A or B. This could be A and B (as pointed out above). If they spoke about it before she was selected, the kids might not have known she was tapped until they got to Ohio. They may have had no idea she had been selected up to that point. They knew she was considered (back when they voted)...but not that she was selected.
    
    You have used one of the classic logical fallacies. I await the next one (which will probably be Ad hominem attacks against me or others you do not like....or possibly Post-hoc ergo propter hoc in regards to these statements from the Palin camp).
  - digitalagent, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1I try very hard to avoid Ad Hominem because that is exactly the tactic of the republicans in this an every other campaign for the last 20 years.
    I disagree with the false dichotomy as some have pointed out without using the language. I understand the tendency, but three words stick out which refute your claim. The words are "first time" and the word "a." Had Palin asked her children to vote it would not be the first time the children were told that she would be a nominee. But the wording suggests that Palin's children never knew that she was being considered simply by slipping in the word "a" which indicates one of a few. In addition, her own words suggest that she made a decision before consulting with anyone. When she was asked, she said that she did not "blink." In other words upon being considered she was convinced that she would say yes regardless of her family's opinion. You can see things two ways, but as I indicated this is not the first, nor will it be the last, lie that came from her mouth. Further, I will go so far as to infer that this observation will be repeated Ad nauseam in the coming 50 days. I will, however, concede that my observation is theoretical and, therefore, not beyond refutation.

emeralddragon, on 09/18/2008, -24/+10As a life-long Democrat I am far more concerned with Obama's lies and flip-flops regarding gun control, public financing, NAFTA renegotiation, FISA w/telecom immunity, amongst many others.

I would have preferred Hillary but now I'd rather see McCain in there than enable Obama get into office with his history of lies. Those of us who are disappointed with Obama aren't going to vote for him no matter how many "Palin is a Liar!" stories you Digg.
- MisteryMeat, on 09/18/2008, -4/+6I don't doubt that Obama and most other Democrats are in bed with lobbyists. I think with Obama it's more of a Ménage à trois between them and us, whereas Republicans just bend over and take their anal gangbang with complete disregard for the working class. Obama doesn't always vote the way I want him to, but I doubt McCain ever does.
  - badtzmartin, on 09/18/2008, -1/+2Go research McCain's voting record. He's got an extensive one. Obama, on the other hand, not so much.
  - MisteryMeat, on 09/18/2008, -0/+5@badzmartin - Republicans turned their backs on me. I voted for Bush in 2000. I was with him for about a year or so but after that he would just implement one policy after another that gives the wealthy short term profits at the expense of the economic future of our nation. Eight years of this and look at where we are today. Continuing this cycle scares the bejesus out of me. Most people would give me the "he's a neo-con, not a true conservative" argument about now but it's not like he implemented this by himself. He mysteriously waved a magic wand when he took office and all Republicans in Congress became neo-cons? None of them could stand up for what is right for this country? Makes me wonder if this is just the true face of the party. McCain has changed his tune on so many issues in the past few months who knows where he really stands. Whether McCain is truly different or not doesn't even matter to me anymore, I'm not ready to vote Republican until I see real change in the party.
  - aurorous, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1@misterymeat - Your right McCain has a flipped flopped a lot in the last few months but it got him the nomination. The question - doe he mean what he's saying to day or does he mean what he's said over the previous 15 years?
    
    It is weird irony that all the bile filled hatred we read right here on digg is directed at a man that just 4 years ago was on John Kerry's short list for running mates, and by some accounts was actually offered the job. And every single one of these haters would have happily voted for that ticket. A man who Rush Limbaugh hadn't said a good thing about in over a decade (until he got the nomination). Who got his "maverick" for joining democrats against his own party much of the time, especially on judicial nominations and campaign finance.
    
    He didn't bring in Palin to nab Hillary voters, he needs her to turn out the the religious conservatives because that entire voting block thinks he's a traitor. What ever he may say about being pro-life none of the people vote who based on the issue believe him because his record just doesn't support it. And I don't think he'd really fight very hard to get a pro-life judge on the supreme court.
    
    For myself I'm not stupid enough to believe he's just like Bush because he won't be and only the idiots believe that. But I've never been a fan of McCain anyway. I'm probably gonna protest vote for anyone who isn't a democrat or a republican.
- digitalagent, on 09/18/2008, -3/+14 more years of the same. Brilliant! There is a vast difference between slightly adjusting your policy and telling a blatant lie when you know the truth. I am not real happy with Obama's flip flops, but he doesn't try to explain how the lie is really the truth. He comes out and says, "I have changed my opinion on this matter and this is why..." That's what drives me nuts about these bastards. It's not the lie. It's the explanation of why the lie is really the truth. Haven't we heard the same ***** for 8 long years? Haven't we been told one thing and then found out later that it wasn't true. And haven't we heard how the lies we were told were really the truth but just a different truth? It really does seem pathological at this point. It's as though the people running these republican campaigns can't speak the truth because they know it will lose them an election. And when the candidates themselves blatantly lie to the American people, their handlers re-group and deflect any more questions on the matter by coming up with another whopper to send the media scrambling for sources. Eventually it just produces a steaming pile of *****. And all their ditto-head supporters just get drunk on the smell because they think they're smelling roses.
- Bodhinature, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1You prefer Hillary who is as much a liar as Obama? What a sad state we are in.
mzx639, on 09/18/2008, -25/+12She didn't lie. Obama and Biden are neck deep in lies. Daily Kos is liberal crap. Buried

- digitalagent, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2Ya lost me there Jim. How are the words, direct quotes from people, words recorded in print and electronic media, vague? I see 4 direct references to solid, supporting quotations from the mouths of the people involved. How can you defend the indefensible? Seriously, every time these jackasses get caught in a lie they dance around when questioned about it, go back to their respective corners and come back throwing wild punches to deflect the untruth told less than 24 hours previous. Read the Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, AP, every single news outlet aside from Faux News is reporting the outlandish, the absurd double-speak these republican candidates are spewing and you still defend them? I am a reasonable person. I consider direct quotes from people involved, irrefutable news.
Wosat, on 09/18/2008, -24/+13The liberal left have been repeating lie, lie, lie so much that the word has lost any meaning to them.
- bjornski, on 09/18/2008, -2/+8Hard not to when you're calling out the Republicans when they lie, lie, lie.
  
  They've done it so much that lying has lost all meaning to them.
  
  It's normal. It's expected.
  
  And it's being delivered.
charlie55, on 09/18/2008, -11/+18lets not forget that kos also reported that palin's daughter actually is the mother of the retarded kid, which means she must have had the baby while already pregnant with the kid she is pregnant with now. that is amazin how she can carry one baby at 7 months and be pregnant with another at two months at the same time. dailykos sure is awesome.

Almost every single picture that I see of Bristol, she is holding Trigg. I have only seen 1 picture of Sarah holding Trigg. All I can say is that Bristol does seem to be a loving sister. She'll probably make a good mom. Too bad she's forced to marry a loser.
fromaworld, on 09/18/2008, -17/+19Real classy fake picture to go along with the story. The fact that *this* trash makes the front page is really sad and says a lot about the maturity of digg users.
- VinnieDaMac, on 09/18/2008, -7/+2Is that picture real? Because if it is, she's the one that chose to wear it.
  - fromaworld, on 09/18/2008, -2/+6No. It's not real.
- Sfenton, on 09/18/2008, -2/+6The good thing about this is that the largest voting block that doesn't vote is the 18 - 25 range. It sucks coming to digg to find all of this propaganda hitting the front page but in reality these voices will go unnoticed. I can't wait until November 4th.
  - digitalagent, on 09/18/2008, -2/+1Sfenton: Even better- the 18 to 30 demographic is the most under polled of any in American politics because many don't own land-lines. The vast majority of those under 30 supported Obama in the democratic primaries. If you can for a moment switch from Faux News to ABC, NBC, CBS, or if you read, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Reuters or even the AP you will find that these lying bastards are being called out for their pathological *****. In addition, there are many older people who have seen plenty of elections who know the difference between someone trying to defend a lie with rhetoric and those who tell the truth. You may find that on November 5th, the silent majority turns out to be the hundreds of thousands 18 to 30-year olds who didn't vote in the last election but find the need to vote in this one.
- Suneet67, on 09/18/2008, -1/+2the only trash is Palin... didnt u see the picture?
- JCougar, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2Amen, Digg has made sick of this election with all of these "news-worthy" articles from the ever-so reliable blog world. However, I thought her Grizzly throw blanket was pretty awesome! I'm glad I saw that.
jeebodon, on 09/18/2008, -12/+8What if she talked with her kids about being picked as VP *before* McCain actually asked her? As in, "Kids, there is a good possibility I will be asked to be VP, what do you think of that?" So when she WAS asked, she could, without hesitation, say yes.
- cadmiumpaint, on 09/18/2008, -7/+5you mean sometime in that 2 minute span after the Dem convention that she went from being not considered to the main contender?
  - vexingmodstwo, on 09/18/2008, -5/+6And you know this how?
    
    Oh right... you don't. You assume, because you had never heard of her, that she wasn't in consideration until after the Democrat convention.
    
    But the reality is that she was being vetted under the radar for a couple of months before the announcement.
VinnieDaMac, on 09/18/2008, -7/+8It's good to know that she decided whether or not to accept the VP spot based on what her 3 girls said (one of whom is pregnant), that is if that story is even true.
- motorboatinsob, on 09/18/2008, -0/+0She also stated that she did not include her son in the vote because "he is off doing his own thing". Funny how the one with the most to lose is left out of the conversation. She asks her daughters who's only real concerns involve what their friends will think. Her son is going off to war and is very much affected by her getting elected and the decisions she will make. Frankly that was the most important part of the interview last night. The rest of it was staged and none of the answers felt like they were hers. This just backs up McCain stance because both of them don't seem to take troop/veterans affairs seriously.

Pixelpaws, on 09/18/2008, -7/+9Stories like this are so common that I can't even get upset about it any more. I can only hope that voting for Obama will ensure that the next President and VP will be at least slightly more honest.
- badtzmartin, on 09/18/2008, -2/+1Good luck with that. /sarcasm
- OrangeTide, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1As far as I'm concerned this is the McCain-Obama ticket. You can vote for either one, same policies, same *****. Palin and Biden are more like mascots in this election.
  - joeanon, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1You obviously have little grasp of US politics or this election.
    
    Take for instance Obama is not a puppet of corporations like McCain sponsored and paid for by a small demographics of very wealthy people.
    
    Rather Obama has many many small personal donors and basically gets his wealth from real people, not from backing by mega corporations, oil companies and media giants.
    
    Just follow the money raised by each of these guys and you can see where their loyalties lie.
    
    McCain is 100% a corporate loyalist, his main donors
    
    Obama is loyal to the people his main donors.
    
    In US politics these guys could hardly be any more different.
    
    Go take a political science class at your local community college and get an idea of what you're talking about.
    
    I'm sure you thought Reagan and Clinton had the same policies also or Clinton and Bush.
    
    But the difference is democrats don't run the country on borrowed money, and Republican's know no other way.
    
    Over the last 40 years, we've had 2 Dem Presidents and Three Republican Presidents.
    
    Under the GOP leadership federal spending grew 45%
    
    Under Democrat leadership, federal spending grew 4%.
    
    If you don't think that is a big difference. I'm willing to bet you hate math and science along with history and education in general.
  - mswalec, on 09/18/2008, -0/+0Your quote "Rather Obama has many many small personal donors and basically gets his wealth from real people, not from backing by mega corporations, oil companies and media giants." Then explain his connection with Fannie May and Freddie Mac?
- joeanon, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Well it's most likely there is no instant solution, so yes a slow movement toward honestly in politics is about as good as it gets.
  
  With the way things are setup you can't even force a criminal out of government or politics.
  
  No one wants it to be their generation that suffers, but some generation has to suffer for 28 or the last 40 years of GOP strategies to move more and more tax burden and federal spending onto the middle class.
  
  The rack of 10 trillion in debt and they cut taxes on the wealthy. It's a complete scam and their 'friends' have become filthy rich of the last few decades because American wait until the last second of economic Armageddon to pay attention to politics.
  
  OH .. right power to the people... We forgot.
wtfbatman, on 09/18/2008, -11/+3Sounds like a certain Hillary I know.

enki25, on 09/18/2008, -7/+11It would be lying if Republicans were fluent in the English language. They are not. They make sounds that can be very convincing, it's true. But if you actually listen to the words they use it's clear there's no actual thinking going on.
