- shyner, on 03/25/2008, -7/+56Whoops. This comment was meant for a different article. Digg this down, please.
- Tex, on 07/28/2008, -2/+40And what're you, part of the Right Wing 101st Fighting Keyboardists Brigade?
- cobbwobbles, on 03/25/2008, -5/+33Americans want someone who can do a better job than the average American of being the leader of the free world. I think most people can safely say Bush did a worse job than the average joe would have.
- DiggLive, on 03/25/2008, -3/+30I'm not falling for your trap. Dugg up!
- evil-doer, on 03/25/2008, -3/+21amazing isnt it. they want 4+ more years of the same *****? retarded doesnt begin to describe them.
- deff, on 03/25/2008, -1/+17We all make mistakes. Dugg for owning up to it.
- inactive, on 03/25/2008, -1/+16Dugg up for honesty.
- DrDragun, on 03/25/2008, -5/+20Don't underestimate the power of anti-liberal fury. Republicans will elect a doorknob to be president if it is running against a liberal. Remember 2004, in which Bush got re-elected AFTER the WMD lies.
- gypsi, on 03/25/2008, -3/+17clearly the result of brain damage
- blablaman, on 03/25/2008, -0/+13Oh now you're just being an *****.
- sulthernao, on 03/25/2008, -3/+16I agree, they're just "volunteers". I mean look at poor, poor President Bush, forced into the torturous job by the Supreme Court; he is the guy we should really be sympathizing with. Imagine all the pain and struggle Bush has to go through to piss off the libtards by taking away civil liberties, piss off the conservitards by spending like there's no tomorrow, and appease the rich and the neo-cons. *sigh* All in a hard days work...at his Texas Ranch.
- Persian5Life, on 03/25/2008, -6/+18i seriously believe that a high school student (10th grader) with no knowledge of politics and the economy would make a better president then Bush.
- Adys, on 03/25/2008, -2/+12Nat3r, if you're reading this, all the "dumb ***** liberal *****" are strongly touched by your post and will right now invest in better mental healthcare for the 24% of the country you so well represent.
- MT85, on 03/25/2008, -5/+15At this point, you seriously have to wonder WTF is wrong with the other 24% more than anything else. What has Bush done right in 8 years in office?
- mediaspree, on 03/25/2008, -2/+1276% of republicans forgot to vote in the primary, apparently.
- matt70, on 03/25/2008, -6/+15But in the end, voters in some places will get scared because some liberal might legalize gay marriage or some other ridiculous thing and vote for four more years. McCain might send my job to China and give filthy rich people tax cuts and continue the war for a thousand years, but at least he doesn't support .
- theaceoffire, on 03/25/2008, -6/+14This feels obvious... since Bush has only 20 something support, then 80 something percent of the US doesn't want him (Or others like him).
- Terr01, on 03/25/2008, -3/+11Liberal: They're dying for no discernible strategic benefit. We need to work on an exit plan.
Conservative: They're dying, but with just a few more we'll get some discernible strategic benefit. I'm sure of it *this* time...
I'm not averse to serving my country, but I will not be joining the military or the national guard when the legal contracts are such that I would effectively sign myself up for a potential lifetime of slavery in the service of crass political goals I do not endorse.
(I'm not exaggerating much. Section 9b: The military owns your ass and everything in your contract is really just a "suggestion", since they can alter the contract in any way at any time and you can't do squat. See also: Sgt. Emiliano Santiago.) - m4lomb, on 03/25/2008, -3/+11McCain = 4 more years of Bush
- Persian5Life, on 03/25/2008, -2/+9it reminds me of the south park episode when kyle proved that 1 in 4 people are retarded.
- Ribbed4U, on 03/25/2008, -0/+7Request denied.
- Sinns, on 03/25/2008, -0/+7Cheney would just say "So"
- moofer, on 03/25/2008, -0/+6The difference? Retarded people can't help being retarded. These 24% are just too fat, stupid, and lazy to open a newspaper.
- Adys, on 03/25/2008, -2/+8Ok, I'm not an US citizen or anywhere near this. But I'm still shocked by 24% americans wanting the same candidate. Nat3r does an excellent job a few comments under this showing what kind of person those 24% are.
- phazon88, on 03/25/2008, -0/+5Fix the comment system Kevin.
- inactive, on 03/25/2008, -0/+5oh stfu, it's a small error compared to your lunacy of supporting bush.
- moofer, on 03/25/2008, -4/+9Headline Rewritten: 24% of Americans Are Dumb as Hell
- Persian5Life, on 03/25/2008, -1/+6thats what happens when you get dropped on your head a few times as a child.
- inactive, on 03/25/2008, -5/+1026 percent are lunatics.
- MasterGrief, on 03/25/2008, -1/+5At least it wouldn't botch its speeches.
- samssf, on 03/25/2008, -2/+6"Would you like the next president to be different than Bush, or just like Bush?"
"Different"
"Oh ***** no... different"
"Different"
"I love Bush!"
"Different"
"Opposite of Bush, please"
"Different"
"Just like Bush!"
*facepalm* - Larz0rz, on 03/25/2008, -0/+4Gladly.
- MikeFallopian, on 03/25/2008, -3/+7An election in which the Democrats shot themselves in the foot by fielding possibly the least likeable member of their entire party. They really are pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
- moofer, on 03/25/2008, -0/+4The press does like a good, round number
- samssf, on 03/25/2008, -2/+6Follow God's guidance by invading Iraq and torturing tons of captive terrorists?
Wait a minute... - moofer, on 03/25/2008, -1/+5Glad you're not a liberal - I sure as hell wouldn't want you speaking on my behalf. You make your point as eloquently as a 6th grade boy trying to impress his friends at the food court in the local mall.
- 00z003, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3when I was 10 or so, I used to think the americans fought wars to spread good causes
- ZurMacht, on 03/25/2008, -3/+6Only 76%?
- theNazz, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4I really miss the days of landslide victories so that there was never any question.
- muckemuck, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3 or.. just maybe.. those polls are complete BS and the media will soon use them to say "lookeee heere.. we have ourselves a nice close race (where a few percentage points of fraud will sway the election) so you better get out there and ONLY vote for one of these two otherwise your vote is WASTED." .. and what do you know.. those polls will be accurate.
- elshizzo, on 03/25/2008, -3/+6duh?
- bullcutter, on 03/25/2008, -2/+5you forgot there's a 2% Ron Paul supporter overlap
- MikeFallopian, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4... and yet every legitimate poll out there has McCain either tied with or leading both Clinton and Obama in head-to-head matchups. Those polls don't have much bearing on the actual election, which is many months away, but it does seem to indicate that voters don't see McCain as being all that similar to Bush.
- Soyea, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4Ok like we in this country have a lot to pick from.And no Obama isn't the answer.the economy is the main issue, the answer isn't more government give aways. the answer is creating good jobs, the priority should be in manufacturing jobs. would be nice to see someone in DC stand up and say hey you out score jobs from this nation to another you loose the right to sell that product here.
Opening the boarders is another "not the answer" to immigration no matter how many votes they think it would buy. it's not worth giving the nation away for it.
At the same time we still need to keep and have a strong national defense.
Really though the federal reserve wants very much for us to move to amero and the only way they can do that is buy killing off the dollar.making it so worthless that we the people start screaming for the change. isn't it funny that in this country our money supply is run by people who are not elected, they are there own they answer to no one. yet they have so much power.
The mistake was back in the 1970's when the boys and girls in DC decided that we would no longer gage the dollar by what we have in gold reserves. on that day Americans lost total control over monetary supply's.
What bush as destroyed the next guy"or girl" will give whats left away.
personally on the armed service side, I say close down all of our bases overseas, pull out of Iraq, Pull our troops out of Korea, and place them on our boarders,Ops sorry that just gave me away as a raciest, so be it - yellowsnowcone, on 03/25/2008, -2/+5wow, this is a really low number.
- sqwirl, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3I'm sitting here wondering how many generations of inbreeding it would take to finally result in a comment like that.
- dxgg, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4The American people tend to want what they currently don't have -- then once they get it, they complain about it.
- banmaster, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4But "1000 years of war" has such a catchy ring to it!
- apc3161, on 03/25/2008, -3/+5"McCain might send my job to China"
I hate McCain's stance on foreign policy. And as such I won't vote for him. But you should know that the companies that outsource the most are the largest job creators in this country. Go look it up. What do you think they do with all the savings from laying off employees in relatively non-productive domestic activities? They expand in areas that are productive.
And with regard to taxes, the answer isn't to tax the wealthy more, that will hurt our economy, whether you want to admit it or not. The answer is to simply tax the poor less. There is no reason a middle class earner should be paying 25%+ of their income in taxes.
If you go back and look at the tax code from when it was first initiated. You will see that adjusted for inflation, the tax exemption was almost $50,000. Thus no one who made that much money or less was intended to pay any taxes at all. Poor/Middle income people don't need the government taking care of them. They just need the government to stop taking 25%+ of their income every year to give away to special interests.
McCain's foreign policies are stupid, Obama is just using populist "the rich are the cause of our trouble" rhetoric, and H Clinton is just evil. All of the candidates have certain platforms that I like, but they also have platforms that I hate.
I'm personally going to either write in Ron Paul or vote for the libertarian candidate. The choices this year absolutely suck. -
