- alapoet, on 07/23/2008, -24/+127There's nothing McCain wouldn't do or say to get elected.
Fortunately, this time there's nothing he CAN do or say that will get him elected. - swrostmore, on 07/23/2008, -6/+59"...negative campaigns don't work. They don't work [in Iowa], and they don't work here in New Hampshire" (John McCain)
"Overheated rhetoric and personal attacks on our opponents distract from the big differences between John McCain's vision for the future of our nation and the Democrats'."
(McCain Campaign memo)
"he will continue to run a respectful campaign based on the issues. We expect that all supporters, surrogates and staff will hold themselves to similarly high standards"
(McCain Campaign memo) - apothekari, on 07/23/2008, -10/+60Desperation makes politicians say the darndest things!
- neognostic, on 07/23/2008, -13/+53Ignorance of the facts never seems to bother you does it? Obama did not say he would meet with Ahmadinejad, he said he would meet with the leaders of Iran, who happen to be the clergy since Iran is a theocracy.
Secondly, even after attacking Obama on this thoughtful plan, Bush is now having meetings at a Diplomatic level with Iran at this moment. - MrMick, on 07/23/2008, -12/+51McCain and his campaign staff clearly know no shame. To win, they will say anything, do anything, and lick the boots of anyone they think might help them. Bush's presidency was a disaster for the United States (except for the wealthy); a McCain presidency would make Bush's two terms look like a garden party.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -6/+32you underestimate the stupidity of Americans.
- Cuchanu, on 07/23/2008, -7/+30SERIOUSLY?? WTF happened to the straight shooter McCain?
I guess the Republican war machine got their mitts into the formerly respectable candidate and it was all downhill from there.
Every day that passes I dislike this guy more. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -8/+30Genocide is awful and I understand what Mr. Obama said a year ago. The US has not put a premium on stopping genocide. It has put a premium on affecting oil producing areas of the world.
Nothing he said in that museum was a lie. Anyone walking through a museum like that (the three I've been to are terrifying) will be (should be?) deeply moved and want to do something, anything, to prevent atrocities like that from happening again.
In response to Mr. McCain's comments today I would ask what is his stand on Darfur or the Congo is and what our place in altering what's going on in those areas?

I couldn't find scorecards on the Congo but here is are links to simple searches that seem to lean more favorable towards Obama hear as well.
http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&hl=en&newwindow= ... vs http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&hl=en&newwindow= ... - booksnmore4you, on 07/23/2008, -12/+33Dear McSame Camp:
Crying "never again" is in no way selfsame with committing to U.S. military intervention for every place in the world where genocide is happening. There *is* such thing as the U.N, after all, of which U.S. troops ought play their part, including in dealing with situations of genocide.
"Never again". That's right. Because the U.S. will take leadership in the global community, to get that same global community to take actions against genocide. I'm sorry that you can't seem to understand how very different that is from "going it alone in the world" as has happened for the past 8 years. - oOLiquidNightOo, on 07/23/2008, -6/+22you underestimate the lengths the GOP will go to get him elected.
- mommacat, on 07/23/2008, -9/+25never again can we have another idiot running the country like bush or mccain. They spin everything, even the damn holocaust into some twisted abortion. I am sick of these hardcore lunatic fringe facist republicans like mcsame!
- thirdcoastborn, on 07/23/2008, -7/+22I wish the people here that are burying these articles would just bury it and move the ***** on. Why the ***** do you have to tell us that your buried it.. Nobody gives a *****. Just bury the ***** and move the ***** on. ***** pussies
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+19Really, is this is the best the GOP has? This guy is dumber than Bush, wait a sec, ok, yeah he is as dumb as Bush!
In the Naval Academy McCain finished 5th from THE BOTTOM of his class of nearly 900. Clearly he's not too bright. He still can't tell the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite. And for God's sake, he doesn't know how to use a computer!!! His father the admiral helped him pass in the Academy, but he couldn't help him become an admiral. I can see why he doesn't want his full Naval record to see the light of day.
This ***** relies heavily on his military background to aid his campaign but, why does he refuses to release his military records?! A man who hides his history, is not destined to be a leader that can be trusted.
He also left his crippled wife who waited loyally for him, while raising his children. He cheated on her and then married a billionaire 18 years his junior.
I love that the internet, and specifically digg, is exposing this melting, reptilian lunatic for who he really is. he's on par with your favorite senile grandpa who says wacky, ignorant ***** that you brush aside because deep in your heart you know that the sane people are gonna win the country back this november.
A vote for McCain is a vote for the insane. - skoles, on 07/23/2008, -7/+21Honestly I would love, just for once, a mainstream news station picks up on one of these Huffington Post/ThinkProgress stories and investigates and broadcasts it.
Just tell people the hard ***** truth for once instead of these sugar coated interviews they do. - funkyloki, on 07/23/2008, -4/+17Man, that Bush is such an appeaser.
- chrissku, on 07/23/2008, -5/+17John McCain has been acting like a little bitch ever since Barack went overseas. It's all jealousy.
- dinot, on 07/23/2008, -2/+12Can you be more specific? "His kind will take away our liberty" is as vague as "winning in Iraq".
- jemka, on 07/23/2008, -0/+10Is it just me or do these ***** politicians spend way too much time talking about each other and not enough on EXACTLY how they are going to make change on the bad and sustain the good? I don't give a rats ass about any of this other ***** and I'm damn sick of hearing about it.
- McShr3dd3r, on 07/23/2008, -6/+16If Obama said the sky was blue, McCain would say it's in fact red and that thinking the opposite will lose the hundred year war.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11The wealthy buy and sell other monetary units as well...so, no, they don't have the same dollar you do.
- zeptobyte, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11I wonder why everyone mentions FISA as a reason for not voting for Obama, when McCain voted on it too.. zomg Obama's not a perfect candidate; who knew? He's still much better than McCain.
- SSPink, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10Other people are clicking those buttons as well. When you click, it gives you the updated total, including your vote AND all the other votes that have accumulated since you last updated the page.
Idiot. - kingmanic, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8!
It's not McCain. It's Cheney with massive amounts of plastic surgery. - nblsavage, on 07/23/2008, -1/+9Try refreshing the page genius.
- archiesteel, on 07/23/2008, -2/+10Stop whoring your blog.
- MadOgre, on 07/23/2008, -19/+26Is there a way I can filter out just submissions from the Huffington Post?
- FredFredrickson, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8Come on guys, take it easy on him. If he's anything like McCain, this could be his first day on the internet, so he doesn't get things like this yet.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -2/+9^^ case in point
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -4/+11They didn't say spokesperson, they said leaders.
Of course Ahmedinejad is the 'spokesperson'. - SSPink, on 07/23/2008, -2/+9HE is the one that said Obama was willing to lose a war to win an election, and that may be the single lowest thing I've ever heard in presidential politics.
- rhabd0mancer, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7"He'll git er guns!!"
- somberlaine, on 07/23/2008, -8/+14Hey, I dont care for McCain...but enough of that pic.
- aftern9ne, on 07/23/2008, -5/+11And that is exactly where our foreign policy has failed in recent history. Meeting and talking with other countries should be our primary diplomatic strategy. I don't care how controversial that country may be.
- StarlessKnight, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Perhaps a dodge, perhaps not wanting to get caught in the "Iran said..." if that's the statement Iran didn't actually say it was just interpreted that way.
- SSPink, on 07/23/2008, -9/+14Wow, only July and they are getting awfully desperate.
- FredFredrickson, on 07/23/2008, -3/+8"I have nothing against them, but they are just disgusting, worthless, vile scum."
Uh... right. Because anyone who has an opinion different from yours shouldn't be allowed on Digg. - dinot, on 07/23/2008, -3/+8Then enlighten us. How is he "out to get us"?
- mattyx, on 07/23/2008, -4/+9Desperation leaves a sour smell....
- WasabiBomb, on 07/23/2008, -2/+7I forget- how, exactly, did McCain vote on FISA?
Oh, wait- he didn't. My bad. - JekJob, on 07/23/2008, -2/+7I buried yours.
- MattB123, on 07/23/2008, -7/+12Meeting with != siding with.
You have to start somewhere. - canofig, on 07/23/2008, -5/+10Dugg because I want to see McCain in every top story's thumbnail in a dejected pose!
- MrTulip, on 07/23/2008, -5/+9yeah, but all those huffpo submissions are making the politics and the election section almost unreadable. nine articles at the same time? please.
and btw while i agree that the 'msm' reporting is far from insightful and interesting - compared to "journalistic" output of the pandering penwhores of ariannas ***** it's downright pulitzer material. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Well, in all honesty, it would've been better for Obama if he hadn't voted on FISA.
- krische, on 07/23/2008, -11/+15Uh I think we got the message the first hundred articles from them. It's just the same trash in a different bag.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5He's not lying, those thumbnails have been infesting the front page and they're all linked to McCain articles, wtf Digg......
- FrenchAnarchy, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4The ol' man is getting cranky; probably missed naptime.
- nretamp, on 07/24/2008, -1/+5My new favorite is the ad blaming Obama for high gas prices... "Who's responsible for high gas prices? Obama, Obama, Obama...." Seriously, pandering to the idiots who only vote along party lines is getting old and ***** like this has to stop.
- archiesteel, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4...except Iran never threatened to wipe Israel off the map.
- IphtashuFitz, on 07/23/2008, -8/+12Wait a minute... Did the McCain camp just say that Obama should be pushing for troops in the Congo? How come McCain hasn't been pushing for this himself?
