- Carv, on 07/23/2008, -15/+51Thank you. There's a difference between misspeaking and not knowing what you're talking about. There's two different ways people choose their opinion - some do the research, then decide. Others decide first, then find whatever they can to back it up, no matter how far of a stretch it is, or how correct. McCain falls under that second category.
- thejimmyo, on 07/23/2008, -14/+41On October 10, 2002, McCain told us that "Saddam Hussein is on a crash course to construct a nuclear weapon."

In May of this year, he falsely said that we had "drawn down to pre-surge levels."

He was also mistaken as to who had declared the ceasefire in Basra earlier:

I don't know if McCain is lying or if he just has a reckless disregard for the truth. - bassjam5, on 07/23/2008, -18/+42Why do Republicans support such dumb people for President. When they open their mouths McCain and Bush are both an embarrassment to this country.
- satanikus, on 07/23/2008, -4/+18This Article Title: Not Good: An Effront to the Englisch Languege
- jmanfivek, on 07/23/2008, -11/+24"I didn't know that some random ass-hat on Digg had the power to "Disqualify" people." What the hell are you talking about?
The Digg user submitted an article written by someone else. In fact, the author is mentioned in the submission title. So why are you calling the submitter an ass-hat? Looks to me like YOU have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Digg works and I move to disqualify you. - Dozernotz, on 07/23/2008, -8/+21You underestimate the staggering power of asshattery, especially when surrounded by asshats of similar shape and size.
- krnldmp, on 07/23/2008, -9/+21" Why are you people so afraid of him?"
Because it has been recently proven that the highest quality candidate is Not necessarily who wins the presidency in the United States. - paprikapink, on 07/23/2008, -27/+39I can see where McCain is revealing himself as less and less fit for the presidency...I actually liked him a year ago! But what if he and his campaign actually accepted and acknowledged that it's hopeless and he dropped out of the race? What kind of election would that be? I'm actually concerned about Obama having no one to run against. Ron Paul? Would he run as a public service just so Obama has an actual competitor?
- Fallenshadow, on 07/23/2008, -12/+22I am afraid of McCain because he would create policy that would greatly diminish my quality of life.
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/23/2008, -4/+14It seems rather thought out to me. Maybe you just can't understand it.
http://digg.com/political_opinion/McCain_s_OpEd_th ... - Nosferotu, on 07/23/2008, -3/+13Err.. the thing is, he said the SURGE SPECIFICALLY HELPED. But the surge HAD NOT OCCURRED. You see, we exist in this thing called time, which is actually a sort of referential term to the fact that there are cause-and-effect chains, and when something occurs previous to something else along the general cause-and-effect chain, it's a logical fallacy to say that the thing that occurred later had a direct effect on what happened earlier.
That might be a bit more explanation than necessary, but see, you seem kind of stupid. - Nosferotu, on 07/23/2008, -6/+16I don't know why you got buried, you're very right on this. McCain doesn't even really need to prove himself to at least remain fairly competitive - he will get support from people who don't like Obama, and from people who just put their mark under Republican.
Frankly, if McCain wins, it won't be for anything he did, and it probably won't be for anything Obama did or didn't do. It'll be for that gullibility you talk about - the propaganda will be stronger than Obama's machine. But I really, truly do not believe that's gonna happen. Come November, we're gonna be proud of our country again. - zip000, on 07/23/2008, -12/+22Yeah, there is absolutely no chance that McCain will just drop out. He will continue even if he has no shot at all, and frankly he's still got a decent shot (as much as I don't want him to).
Obama is constantly being undermined by the right wingers - especially Fox news...a largish portion of our country think that Obama is a Muslim; they believe silly propoganda about him concerning the national anthem and flag pins. They believe that Obama is going to tax us to death, etc.
As long as such a large percentage of our country is so gullible (which means always), McCain has got a shot. - bsmang, on 07/23/2008, -13/+22What I want to know, since we have so many McCain fans here at the moment, is what the ***** does he mean when he says he's going to "win the war"? What is he going to win? Who is he going to certifiably defeat? Whose unconditional surrender will he acquire???? And how? And if we withdraw our troops, which he calls "losing the war", then who are we losing to? Who is it in that case that claims they were victorious over the USA? I call BS to the whole thing - he's just trying to get the stupid rednecks fired up.
- Nosferotu, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9Who the hell is burying this? It's true!
- fromaworld, on 07/23/2008, -16/+24The Huffington Post also thinks that anyone who ate cheerios for breakfast is not fit to be president either.
Come on guys. The Huffington Post is turning into the equivalent of a political tabloid. They jump on *every* single chance to bash McCain and praise Obama. They've become the liberal, web equivalent of Fox News. - Arkons24, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7Buried as Obamaganda
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/23/2008, -7/+14Why is the New York Times afraid to publish letters from McCain?
- fr3ddie, on 07/23/2008, -15/+21The sad part is... McCant actually DOES have a chance... I have been seeing many bumper stickers lately... as stupid as that may be... but all we can do is vote obama i guess.
- greatgran1, on 07/23/2008, -17/+23This boggles the mind.There are so many doubts about Senator McCain's mental alertness and
now his memory may come under scrutiny.I remember when Pres. Reagan was in the same
situation. - Waiting2awake, on 07/23/2008, -10/+16To steal a quote from Larry Merchent " His is either incompetent, or corrupt. Either way, we can't use him."
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/23/2008, -3/+9They defeated Democrats in five elections?
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6?
- awtripp, on 07/23/2008, -15/+20It's not out of touch. The point is McCain has no ***** idea what is and has been going on over there. Right of left, you can't argue against the fact that McCain is the one that is out of touch here.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -6/+11To all those that just dont get it:
WE DID HAVE USA TROOPS IN IRAQ ACCOMPLISHING THINGS BEFORE THE SURGE. SIMPLE! END OF STORY!
GET IT? DUH!!
That a subject change or you want to stick to the point of the story. Oops.... there isnt any !!! - mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Why yes! If only Carter, Dukakas, Gore or Kerry had won we would be tightening the screws on China and the Middle East AND living in a magical world of electric cars, Europeans who loved us, and billowy white clouds floating on clean, clean air!
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/23/2008, -1/+6So smart! S-M-R-T!
- daddaa, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4stop it. you're such a tease. you're sending a chill up my leg.
- fromaworld, on 07/23/2008, -3/+7My point can easily be illustrated by going to HuffingtonPost.com and looking at their front page.
http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/31316/thumbs/ ...
Tabloid? Yes. - bsmang, on 07/23/2008, -16/+20What I want to know is, why the hell are so many people still coming on here and defending McCain against himself? Isn't it obvious to them that he doesn't know what the *****'s going on and shouldn't be president? I can see his "fans" being a bit apprehensive about admitting it, but to come on here and actively argue for him anyway? ***** retards.
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/23/2008, -2/+6Just as Obama's statement that there would "have been improved security even without the surge" is also conjecture. The fact that the Awakening began in September 2006 does not preclude the fact that it succeeded once the surge was in place.
- digigeek, on 07/23/2008, -9/+12Right on. The whole ordeal was supposed to be an effort to capture Bin Laden and his group in response to the Trade Center attacks.It is ABSURD that we ended up here today - completely insane. We no longer care about Bin Laden, it seems. Oh, we just cared so much about the Iraqi people? What? Give me a break, NO ONE in the Bush administration gives a rat's ass about them and we all know it.
- malex, on 07/23/2008, -3/+6Here's what McCain said to Katie Couric:
"Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that's just a matter of history."
Do you see the problem here? - BlacklabelSAR, on 07/23/2008, -6/+9When you see mentally ill Vets on the streets, you can thank Ronald Reagan. But Reagan told people, who substitute Nationalism for self-esteem, he told them what they wanted to hear.
Last year I spoke with a co-worker who said that she liked how Ronald Reagan "made her feel". And now many people know nothing but that "Reagan sits next to Jesus in Heaven". - vault, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4Maybe you'll have a unique thought one day, Nanite, and won't care about how agreeable your comments are to the majority of digg.
- yourfaceah, on 07/23/2008, -7/+10LMAO and obama does?
- Stormwern, on 07/23/2008, -11/+13Iran training al'qaeda is another example. He can jumble words all he likes, but in the odd chance he'll be doing any negotiating, he damn well needs to know who is friends with who.
- OstrakonX, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3They're not afraid to publish by any means. They're simply not going to waste space in their paper on regurgitated talking points from the McCain camp.
Maybe if he actually tried making a new point, they'd publish it. Instead, they have the integrity not to publish something laden with statements that have no factual basis in reality. - geekee, on 07/23/2008, -6/+8II'm laughing at you idiots. You said the surge would fail and now are arguing semantics because you still can't admit you were WRONG. The troop surge was an important part of the success because it gave Sunnis the strength to oppose al qaeda. The Huffington post is a joke.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3It's also recently been proven that the winner in an Election is not necessarily going to appointed as the President of the US.
- blackinthmiddle, on 07/23/2008, -8/+10Here's the problem with people like jabberwolf. Rather than try to support their opinions with intelligent discourse, they fall back on the lowest common denominator: sophomoric name-calling.
"What Gaff? What misunderstanding?"
Admit it, you didn't even read the article, did you? If you did, you wouldn't be asking that question! - mrsammercer, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2I'm sure they'd be happy to publish if he paid for it as an advertisement. There is nothing newsworthy about that piece.
- mrsammercer, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2I'd like to sneak into a McCain town hall meeting as an avid supporter and find my way to the microphone just to say, "Senator McCain, generally speaking you really don't have any clue what the ***** you're talking about do you?"
- jepaco, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1If you consider security improvement as the only goal of the surge, then yes, it worked. If you look at the goals the Bush administration laid out for the surge, then no, the surge did not accomplish most of them. A success? Hmm.
- qdkk, on 07/23/2008, -9/+10Yeah, Reagan was old too. In fact, Reagan was showing obvious signs of Alzheimer into his second term in office.
- Nanite, on 07/23/2008, -2/+3He's paying people 'McCain Bux' to come here and shill for him. Easy as that.
