- mightydavefish, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2You're thinking of Billy O when goes on his "vacations" to Thailand.
- BohicaTwentyTwo, on 02/28/2008, -2/+11Heh, Ron Paul scored a perfect 0%. Let the cognitive dissonance begin.
- aliengoods, on 02/28/2008, -1/+1And at 100% is Russ Feingold. His problem is he's too smart to be president.
- ScienceDoc, on 02/28/2008, -2/+8Republicans hate poor people, poor people's kids, and public education. Rich kids have all they need.
- Diderotten, on 02/28/2008, -2/+0that doesn't make you a republican. It makes you an *****.
(there's a differrence.) - Diderotten, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1I came back to this post when I found out he had 6 diggs and I with -2. How The ***** does that happen? What he said is an very misguided assumption about republicans. Just 5 months ago Ron Paul was the epitome of what a good, honest, transparent politician was supposed to be. Now god(lol) forbid you talk about him, his movement, or the issues he stood for lest you be labeled "bat-***** insane"! I'm tired of it. WTF Digg?

- zephyear, on 02/28/2008, -0/+8Well to be fair he left childhood 160 years ago, he's not sure what kids like anymore.
also i'm glad to see feingold and kohl at 100%, my state senators are great :D - darkjedi26, on 02/28/2008, -4/+1Pft kids. Stupid breeders.
- mightydavefish, on 02/28/2008, -1/+3While I agree with that sentiment, it's not the kids faults, so we can't punish them.
Whether you like them or not, you still gotta step up and do right by them.

- ssn697, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1So did an "A" vote mean Absent? McCain has an "A" beside 8 of the 10 votes...
- fractalman, on 02/28/2008, -2/+8The Children ’s Defense Fund Action Council wants the Fedreral government to regulate the raising of our children. We don't need a nanny state.
- macweirdo42, on 02/28/2008, -0/+2Here here! America's parents are more than capable of screwing up their children on their own! It's just redundant... What next, an agency devoted to telling us how to be fat, lazy, stupid consumerist sheep?
- rewinn, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1Yet Orrin Hatch (R-UT) got a 70% rating.
What --- Hatch is a commie?
- arbouler, on 02/28/2008, -2/+1but he's portrayed by steve martin as a good father figure in cheaper by the dozen! buried as inaccurate...
- moneyfishies, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1i thought sending our children to war was good?
- lamprey187, on 02/28/2008, -0/+1Sen. Mike Crapo, voted like crap for the kids.
- lamprey187, on 02/28/2008, -1/+2It occurs to me that no Republicans made the list of 100%. Pretty damn interesting considering they are all pro-life. If they don't give a damn about protecting kids after they are born, why so hypocritical about it before kids are born ???? Oh I get it, they just protected the rich kids with the big tax breaks. Screw the poor ones. Good job McCain. Way to go. You are now officially a party hack.
- jrw34, on 03/01/2008, -0/+2Imagine what would happen if we took just some of the money that McCain wants to keep throwing to Iraq and a bit of the tax cuts that he wants to continue for the rich and invested in our country's future...our children. John McCain knows war...and that is very scary...because it doesn't seem like he knows much more.
- HipsterSarah, on 03/01/2008, -0/+1Well, not surprised, he wants to send your men and women into Iraq for the next 100 years and start more wars. The thought of him being president is absolutely terrifying, even though I know it will not happen!
- rewinn, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1Our children would be safer with 100% healthcare thatn with another year in Iraq. It's not complicated.
