  • neognostic, on 05/08/2008, -18/+66Bush is evil incarnate.
    • kemp34, on 05/08/2008, -5/+8Yeah, pretty nasty character.
    • Flagg3, on 05/08/2008, -11/+3Actually, Cheney is the evil one. Bush is just... to put it delicately... a bit simple and easily manipulated by others.
      • chaosium, on 05/08/2008, -4/+10Doesn't make him an unwilling accomplice, or completely unaware.
        • ummagummas08, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Yeah seriously, if I had that kind of power.. the things I would do differently boy..
      • flashback99, on 05/08/2008, -2/+4If you are president, stupidity is not an excuse.
      • xuanyan, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3It's true though. Bush is dumb as a post. He is an easily manipulated puppet on the strings of his handlers. The country has been run by Cheney and Rove from the shadows.
      • jj2me, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Bush has stated in the past that he loves politics. He knows and loves the game, and plays it hard. Don't underestimate that part of him.
      • je12u, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1The devils greatest trick....
    • LukasSmith, on 05/08/2008, -14/+6Nice to see evil incarnate gets two tiny paragraphs in the huffington post with no sources for the info. Yup Pure CRAP.
    • monoa, on 05/08/2008, -2/+9"I always remember two types of students. One is the very excellent student, the type as a professor you feel honored to be working with. Someone with strong social values, compassion and intellect -- the very rare person you never forget. And then you remember students like George Bush, those who are totally the opposite." - Yoshi Tsurumi, one of George W. Bush's professors at Harvard Business School
    • monoa, on 05/08/2008, -5/+7P.S. As an atheist, I don't subcribe to the concept of 'evil'. It's an easy label that doesn't address the root cause of someone's behavior. However, there's enough evidence to state confidently that Bush contains ingredients of stupid, lazy, arrogant, self-serving, deluded and gullible. I wouldn't leave the little ***** in charge of a hotdog van, let alone a nuclear-equipped nation.

      Also, the one thing that really surprises me is why anyone who voted for him is surprised that his presidency turned out the way it did - his personal qualities and abilities were on display from Day One.
      • Opiate, on 05/08/2008, -5/+3As a who cares?
      • ErikHarrison, on 05/08/2008, -3/+6Evil does not always pertain to religion. Do you always run around starting your sentences with "As an atheist"? It's not that atheists are bad, but when they say stuff like "I don't subScribe to the concept of evil" just kinda makes them sound like Scientologists, as if they were above it. Riddle me this, what was the main motivator? What started everything? Every action creates an equal or greater reaction, so where is the logic in not believing in something greater than yourself? Ego maniacal bitch.
      • Demener, on 05/08/2008, -2/+0I had a friend vote for Emperor Bush in 04 because he actually thought he was the more honest candidate. For all my buddies intelligence he just wouldn't listen to reason. Not his fault though, his parents are hardcore Repubs.
        • ummagummas08, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Well I mean, if you had to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich, which would you pick?
    • Braddeharder, on 05/08/2008, -10/+4Why is digg so wildly liberal? I do not like Bush, But most of the stuff that he has done has been done buy a lot of other people before him, on the left and the right.
      • insertcleverid, on 05/08/2008, -1/+7When, exactly, did a sitting Democratic President fire a FEC commissioner for pointing out that the Democratic Presidential Nominee had illegally manipulated his finances? Or, more in line with your suggestion, has anyone of any party before Bush?
    • Skywise, on 05/08/2008, -12/+4Obama is evil incarnate.
    • bayviews, on 05/08/2008, -6/+4what *****,

      a conspiracy in every corner
      • insertcleverid, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Its not a conspiracy, its a news story! Take a look at your dictionary.
    • sxlc2002, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4And McCain is bush incarnate!
  • Sheavenger, on 05/08/2008, -16/+44Sold his soul (what's left of it) for politcal gain. I've heard about this path before.
    It never ends up pretty for the soul seller.
  • mbonzo531, on 05/08/2008, -12/+7Institutional Revolutionary Party anyone?
    • hikaruzero, on 05/08/2008, -1/+12How about just the Imprisonment Party? The whole platform would be, take everyone in office right now, and throw them in the can for the rest of their lives.
  • stormkrow, on 05/08/2008, -17/+27The GOP Repugnant Party will get their asses handed to them in November!!!!
    • yodaj007, on 05/08/2008, -13/+5The trouble is that they can afford all new asses. It's not enough to just hand their asses to them. We need to ream them hard.
      • cygnus2112, on 05/08/2008, -2/+2I'm glad that's left for others. So are you taking Cheney or Rove?
    • LukasSmith, on 05/08/2008, -24/+4Ahahaha these democrats just dont know! We rejoice that Obama is the democrat candidate for president. He will be so easy to tear apart.
      Where to start hmmm.
      Maybe his political career like the only reason he won a senate seat was because the senator he replaced was in a sex scandel and resigned? Oh GOd help us I guess Obama has never won an election on issues before just pure luck. To green for me Obama.
      Or what about all those lies he wrote in his books. Those wonderful sugar coated fairy tales. To bad he didnt mention his parents have about the worst judgement on earth. Obamas mother obviously has a bad judgement of picking men. And his father? May I present Obama Senior, the polygamist drunk deadbeat http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=5 ...
      Then on to other issues perhaps the fact that Obama in 2004 like many democrat politicans claimed Bush wasn't doing enough about Iran. Claimed we should be in Iran defending ourselves from a nuclear state instead of fighting in Iraq. But then evidence emerged later that Iran had stopped nuclear activity. The democrats got ever so quiet then. Guess what Obamas next move was after saying we should have attacked Iran to deter a nuclear threat? He says we should sit down with the Iranians and all our enemies. ahahah. flip flop. Nobody questioned his judgement but when you think about it If it wasnt for being in Iraq we would have been embroiled in a war with Iran instead. WITH OBAMAS BLessing. NO weapons. Sound familiar think of the year 2002 ? Obama has a new and better judgement then other politicians? I think not. Here is a anti war site that called out Obama on Iran http://www.antiwar.com/orig/jfrank.php?articleid=4 ...
      • Vermifax, on 05/08/2008, -2/+14yawn.
      • spwpi10, on 05/08/2008, -1/+8Just a quick aside here. I need some clarification. What does Obama's father or mother have to do with the election? Maybe his parents aren't so great, that doesn't mean he can't be a good leader. Personally, I haven't looked too deeply into Obama so I'm not well aware of what he wants to do, but generally speaking how does your father or mother's actions have anything to do with you politically. It just baffles me that some people will read something like that and hold it against Obama, he has a rough family, for a lot of people having a rough family is what makes them stronger because they want to strive to be better than that.
        As for the other issues you talked about, it's all past stuff. To me that doesn't really affect my decision as much as modern day ideas and actions. It may have only been 4 years ago when all that happened but I believe people can recognize what they believe to be mistakes in their decisions or actions and change their stance on a point of view on something. Just a thought.
        • insertcleverid, on 05/08/2008, -1/+6And remember that 4 years ago we actually thought Iran was going to go nuclear, it just turned out that the Bush administration was manipulating the intelligence. Again.
        • LukasSmith, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Ok Poor intelligence. Obama fell for it. Means he is different from any other Democrat or Republican in 2002 why? Oh and just a quick history lesson for you noobs. In 1998 Clinton bombed Iraq declaring they were producing weapons of mass destruction. a few years later we learned all Saddam had were slingshots. Some intelligence huh?
      • monoa, on 05/08/2008, -1/+9It's reality-detached humans like this that explain how Bushco got voted in. Scary and sad in equal measure.
      • LukasSmith, on 05/08/2008, -16/+3Lol you just want to elect another Bush. Here is Obama: ***** parents. green politician. Wins on luck not issues. Supports military action on evidence that later gets disproved, then after not admitting he wrongs totally changes direction and wants to make peace with those he supported Military action against. My main point about his parents and his fairy tale autobiographies are that they lack truth. Yes please 8 more years of a president who can bend the truth and cover his ass? thats really what you want? And yawn? ahah. yes that sounds intelligent. Bet reading a stop sign is too tiring to for you. Yes just rest your eyes on your tv like good sheeple. The fact is you are Obama fanatics no changing you minds. Your mind is dead already. RIP.
      • LukasSmith, on 05/08/2008, -15/+2Oh and furthermore everything I have said is a fact. You know that word? F A C T. As in something you could look up easily. So if your ok with the FACTS that Obama comes from a family of ***** judgment, makes ***** judgments(by Iran example), sugarcoated his biographies he himself wrote by lying about his true background, and has never really won on election on issues, then yeah vote for Obama. Sad thing is most of you can't even remember 2004. so don't bother trying. Just be good sheeple and worship your messiah.
      • VitriolAndAngst, on 05/08/2008, -1/+8Wow, you really have an amazing intellect.
        So the Republicans have failed at government to show us how government doesn't work -- yet some of us remember 8 years ago. Now, with their diabolical plan of talking out of both sides of McCains mouth -- they have lulled us into a a false sense of security.

        I think your only hope of a Republican win is to CHEAT again -- I expect that their will be election fraud and we've been getting more and more voters on our side to overcome it. In order to win, the corruption is getting more and more obvious.
      • dema, on 05/08/2008, -1/+7If you are seriously going to bring up "flip flopping" I really hope you are not supporting McCain, because that would way too funny (:
      • Cannon49, on 05/08/2008, -2/+3Join the revolution, block LukasSmith so you don't have to read his BS on every political article.
      • LukasSmith, on 05/08/2008, -4/+2The problem with your statement cannon is BS would not be true. Nothing I've said here is untrue. So join the idiots who feel the truth hurts and hide behind block which by the way doesn't really work that well anyhow. If block worked cannon wouldn't be here to bitch.
  • chrgrose, on 05/08/2008, -11/+27What hasn't Bush manipulated yet? He's already destroyed our future history.
    • TheG2, on 05/08/2008, -2/+10Is "future history" managed by the department of Pre-Crime?
    • Hangly, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Bush with a time machine is a terrifying and amusing thought. I think it would play out a lot like Bill & Ted's Excellent adventure.
      • Demener, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1In 2008 bush used a time machine to travel back to 2000 and 2004 to rig the FL elections because the US was a financially stable country in that time line.
    • thejeremy, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2"future history"...omg that's right now!!1
  • shadearg, on 05/08/2008, -6/+16Yesterday, Republicans could not have acted more narrowly in just this vein: effectively firing a Commissioner to immunize their Presidential nominee from enforcement action in a pending case but making sure that there is enough of an agency left to get him the money needed to finance his campaign.

    --

    Wow.. that's quite an accusation!
    • VitriolAndAngst, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5Well, it has been many months now that they DON'T have enough people to convict anyone of Election shenanigans -- so we already have that situation now. It takes something like 4 or 6 votes -- and they have something like 2 people left on the committee. Yeah -- just enough to right checks.
  • chrisbosh123, on 05/08/2008, -22/+5I made a little edit to that picture, enjoy.

    • Drogoganor, on 05/08/2008, -6/+11I don't understand the opposition to Huffington Post. Seems like you're all angry because they dare to criticize republicans.
      • patpl22391, on 05/08/2008, -15/+5No it's because you are a damn hypocrite. You guys complain about how Fox News is biased, yet every ***** Obama spam article is from his supporters, including but not limited to Huffingtonpost, Rawstory, Moveon.org, Mediamatters, Firedoglake, Crooksandliars, and Thinkprogress to name a few. We all know who are the real sheep.
        • Drogoganor, on 05/08/2008, -3/+10That's because Digg is designed to reflect the bias of it's readers.
        • patpl22391, on 05/08/2008, -6/+6@Drog ...If you think you learn anything by reading articles that only perpetuate your own opinions then you are really rather dumb. Try exploring new sources!
        • Drogoganor, on 05/08/2008, -4/+5I'm not saying it's good learning. I'm saying if this place isn't for you then move on.
          • patpl22391, on 05/08/2008, -8/+6That's like telling me, "If you don't like America, leave!" Why would I leave? I'm just trying to make Digg better, and the people who use it..less retarded.

        • Hangly, on 05/08/2008, -1/+3News agencies ought to be impartial. There is no requirement that individuals not have an opinion.

          To paraphrase Jon Stewart, if we're looking to comedy shows, blogs, and user comments as a standard for journalism, we're in serious trouble fellas.
        • bigsteve, on 05/08/2008, -1/+6Fox has a ***** 24/7 television channel that sells hundreds of millions in advertising, is easily accessible to millions of impressionable American channel-surfers who can't tell the difference between their drivel and news. Huffington Post is just a website with editorials and opinions.
  • kemp34, on 05/08/2008, -7/+41Tired of Huffington Post. However, John McCain IS breaking the election laws that HE got passed (McCain-Feingold). He is seriously an idiot. McCain: "The economy, what's that?"
    • patpl22391, on 05/08/2008, -13/+3What law is he breaking?
      • pintomp3, on 05/08/2008, -1/+15he applied for future public funding and then used that as collateral to secure a loan. then he backed out of public funding once his campaign started pulling in more money. the legality is very much in question.

          • Opiate, on 05/08/2008, -8/+3Apparently the ones who dugg you down don't want to wake up.
          • cygnus2112, on 05/08/2008, -5/+1Yeah, blind partisanship. I must have mentioned a name which they support. Regardless of the truth, they would rather digg me down. C'est la vie - world's pooched.

            Nope, just you guys.
        • VitriolAndAngst, on 05/08/2008, -1/+8See, instead of saying; "Wow, so McCain really is breaking his own rules" we get someone pointing out some spurious comment above (that was proven untrue), and redirecting blame.

          Perhaps you could mention how bad Saddam Hussein is as well, Cygnus...
          • cygnus2112, on 05/08/2008, -5/+1I'm not redirecting blame. I'm pointing out reality. Or are you suggesting that what I mentioned is untrue?

            I implicated all of the candidates. If you wanna bury your nose in the ass of one of the aforementioned politicians, that's your own problem (and weakness.)

      This is like the complaint about the SOURCE of the news rather than whether it is true or not. Seems that some people, have a problem with truth being a thing only Liberals care about.

      Do us all a favor and digg my comment (or any other comment that suggests methods to curb this problem) on the Town Hall page. Since Kevin seems to want to choose topics with the most diggs to talk about (despite that being a horrible idea since comments at the top of the page will always have more diggs) we can try and find a solution to this blog spam epidemic that has crippled the digg community.

  • raybury, on 05/08/2008, -4/+12Um, Obama is the one with a hold on one of the four FEC nominees, because the nominee shares the position the U.S. Supreme Court just validated -- that states may require voters to provide ID. This is chutzpah.
    • VitriolAndAngst, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4WTF dimension is that coming from? The Repugs stalled this and they've done nothing but Filibuster since they've been in office -- apparently, it's only wrong if you do it when a bill is paying billions to a no-bid contractor.

      Once again, the Republicans break something so that they can complain about it not working. Compromise with these people, is pretty much the practice of bending over and taking it.

      Dem FEC withdraws because the agency is paralyzed;
      http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/democratic-fec ...

      WASHINGTON, DC - May 7 - The slate of nominees for the Federal Election Commission (FEC) that the Bush administration sent to the Senate on Tuesday night is anything but a compromise. In fact, the highly partisan and politically charged choices are likely to perpetuate the stalemate that has effectively shut down the FEC since January.
      President Bush is calling for the replacement of sitting Republican Commissioner David Mason with Don McGahn, a steadfast Republican Party loyalist who served as general counsel to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) in October 2002 when that committee attempted to sidestep federal law banning “soft money” in federal elections. McGahn also was ethics lawyer for former Rep. Tom DeLay, who resigned from Congress under criminal indictment.
      more; http://www.commondreams.org/news2008/0507-07.htm

      >> AS to your comment about ID; we had a grand total of 6 court cases of Voter Fraud in the entire US last election and it wasn't for lack of looking for something to promote this straw man issue. One of the cases was against Anne Coulter, if you are scoring at home. To vote in the wrong place is a Felony if intentional -- but the whole issue is to cover up for the millions of people who are valid voters having their votes thrown out. The Republicans have been guilty of caging time and time again.

      >> But, in the Republicans defense, at least their choices sent forth are some of the only people not indicted for criminal fraud and embezzling when put in charge of money. That's a step up.
      • PolishLogic, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1So having to show proof of identification in order to vote, so as to help curb voter fraud is a bad thing? Why?
  • dralezero, on 05/08/2008, -7/+5Haha. The news on my TV McCain said he was going to play nice. Yea right.
  • Demonmonger, on 05/08/2008, -5/+5The FEC is gay. If they wanted to have laws governing election fund raising, why didn't they make laws that could have people tried in a court of law? Basically, someone could bring charges against McCain and a Judge / Jury would decide. This commissioner appointee crap from the U.S. President is too ripe for abuse.
  • Hangly, on 05/08/2008, -1/+9The FEC has been manipulating elections for a long time. If you've ever supported a third-party candidate you should know that all too well.
    • Metman, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2What third party?! Sush before YOUR name shows up on 'the list'!

  • fx666, on 05/08/2008, -6/+5As always, the Obama camp came up with baseless accusations. Maybe, this is happening because Obama is a sissy who always complains of being treated unfairly. Do we need a cry baby as a President?

  • rpfinley, on 05/08/2008, -5/+6Its obvious the Obama bots don't even read the articles anymore, they just digg digg digg. The FEC is an interesting subject for Obama to bring up considering he put a hold on Senate confirmation proceedings for FEC nominee Hans von Spakovsky.
    • VitriolAndAngst, on 05/08/2008, -2/+4NeoCons complain when we don't endorse the next crony, and NeoCons complain when we roll over and take it.

      I think I prefer the whine of Republicans who have been hobbling the FEC, that we won't take their stooges.

      McCain can raise all the illegal money he wants. The public is done with the Republicans. They claim to know it all -- and later, when it is time for excuses, they know all the people they can blame. We've had 8 years of reasonable excuses.

      By the way -- OBAMA isn't in charge of this; http://www.commondreams.org/news2008/0507-07.htm
  • ender7074, on 05/08/2008, -6/+2Even more "news" from the huffington post. Get a real ***** news site and not some liberal opinion column passing itself off as news.
  • thanakar, on 05/08/2008, -8/+5Another Huffington smear article. Buried as *****.
  • bendo420, on 05/08/2008, -3/+3As much as huff post may be a joke...supporting McCain or Hillary is about as patriotic as wiping your ass with the flag
  • DaDrake, on 05/08/2008, -1/+4Isn't this exactly what Howard Dean did? As far as I am concern, they don't care as long as you didn't use the money and return it. Anyway, the public financing laws are ***** up. There is simply no way a politician can use public financing and compete.... it needs an update.
  • ErikHarrison, on 05/08/2008, -3/+6Bush wants to ***** up our country so bad right now that no democrat could recover from it. That is the problem that we need to stop right now. Impeach the war monger.
    • Skywise, on 05/08/2008, -2/+1Yeah right
    • PolishLogic, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2Impeachment seems to be going so well over these last few years, doesn't it.
  • shiftclick, on 05/08/2008, -4/+2Yep, that's right. Blame everything on Bush. Look, he's not really that smart. Do you guys REALLY think he could pull this kind of *****? You probably think he pulled off 9/11 too. *****.
    • mojo31979, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2No he's not, but FEC officials that receive kickbacks from large corporations to keep Republicans in office are smart enough to do this. Bush is merely a puppet, always has been and always will be.
    • GhostyBoy, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2For the last time, no one is saying Bush is smart. On the contrary, the man is nearly completely retarded. This makes him a perfect candidate for being a front-man, while someone whispers to him from behind the throne. He is a puppet, nothing more.

      All the evil that has been done on Bush's watch has been perpetrated by assholes like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Henry Kissinger etc. I would be surprised if Bush even made one policy decision his entire time in office.
  • adamadkins, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1It's all just a game.
  • GhostFreeman, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1and we are letting you get away...
  • jgoto, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Why was this dug from the Huffington Post and not from the Politico where the story originated?
    • PolishLogic, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Huffpo is an unofficial sponsor of Digg. Every Huffpo article is dugg.
  • taiakpun, on 05/08/2008, -1/+0This makes me laugh at the American electoral system. Check this out that was Dugg weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkqEdlRDKfo
    It shows what your system truly is - laughable, complicated, and a joke. It is a wonder that a demoratic country such as the US has such a system. Newly democratic countries even have a more streamlined process to pick their leaders. No wonder why Americans whine about their elected leaders, no matter what party - the system is hilariously, and frighteningly set up for people with $$$$$$. And you call yourselves democratic - haha. Sorry, but it is funny. Maybe the public should start to push for a new system - like taking out the primaries. Really, there are so much more important things going on in the world that are more newsworthy than the frickin primaries. What a joke.
  • brinewr, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Shoot! AVOIDING accountability is the ONLY thing that BUSH is GOOD AT!
