- abburdlen, on 10/28/2008, -9/+208Wow, I agree with one of McCain's advisers. I suppose the saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day is apt here.
- niradg, on 10/28/2008, -7/+143when you run a vicious campaign full of rabid attack dogs and then fall behind in the polls, it's only a matter of time until they all turn their attention inwards.
- 5celery, on 10/28/2008, -5/+110the rest of the world: 7 weeks ago
McCain: 7 days before election
demonstrably irresponsible - grbradsk, on 10/28/2008, -7/+99See, I'm an Obama "socialist". I believe in fiscal constraint, keeping debt down. On "values" issues, rather than worrying about Gay marriage, I wonder why the government is involved in marriage at all? Let whatever institution marry whomever they want. Thus, you could almost call me a ... conservative.
What Palin might do is make a power play for the repuglican whack-jobs and dumbos. The intelligent, fiscal conservative republicans might just split and form their own party. At that point, I might actually be in play. But Palin?? McCain also sold out or simply lost it.
Obama is intelligent and prudent. I don't worry that he'll do really stupid things like over taxing. I have some concerns he'll err on the side of thinking too much in a crisis. But given the Bush years, I'll take the chance and hope that Obama balances things out. - tcbishop12, on 10/28/2008, -7/+98McCain: Why didn't anyone tell me she was a whack job! Fire the SEC chief!
- BelatedHero, on 10/28/2008, -4/+93But she's a MAVERICK whack job!! You betcha!
- enantiodromia, on 10/29/2008, -1/+58Old person, you know that free people will never EVER accept their leaders allowing the wholesale raping and pillaging of their country so that oil and defense companies may post record profits while our men and women are dying "over there". You are supporting McCain because he is promising more of the same, and as an old person, what you fear most, is change. McCain will certainly raise taxes as he fully supported the bailout package he made such a big deal in pushing through Congress.
Us "young people" know that offshore drilling will not produce one single drop of oil for at least one entire generation, and know that todays market's can barely see past this week let alone waiting 10-20 years for the laws of supply-and-demand affect current oil and gasoline prices.
We also know that $5000 to pay for health insurance is a JOKE even for healthy people. Us youngsters also have kids of our own and know McCain's insurance ideas will simply not work at all. Of course McCain wouldn't know a good insurance plan if it crawled into his whiskey bottle, because he has never once had to pay for his own insurance, as he and his entire family has enjoyed government provided insurance their entire lives.
The difference between the young people of your generation and the young people of today, is that you were mostly idiots compared to those of us who have grown up on 24/7 international news outlets, instant communication with people all around the planet, access to almost every textbook ever printed, online encyclopedias, etc. No offense, you did the best you could with the technology you had, but you simply cannot assume kids today are like kids from a long time ago.
People are supporting Obama because he represents the very thing you fear: change. He is not the same spoiled military-brat blue-blood with a daddy complex, which is all the GOP has offered in 12 years. His family is not in bed with the oil companies and defense contractors.
I know you like to assume "Liberals" are all poor inner-city minorities or hippies who live under a bridge somewhere who are looking for hand-outs, but let me assure you this is not the case. What I pay in Federal taxes is more than the average household INCOME in this country, and guess what, I'm not crying about my "hard earned money" going to Federal tax dollars that wind up where? Right, they wind up in the poor Red states who cannot make their own ends meet without all that free tax money they need every year to keep their state's from utterly failing. How is that for relying on others? Without the Blue States' tax dollars, the Red States would be in a race to the bottom to see who would crash first.
If you think Bush and then McCain by extension are somehow concerned with your "freedom", you are very sadly mistaken. - Olon97, on 10/28/2008, -8/+57Isn't a "whack job" what happens after she reaches through the TV screen with her winking and makes right-wing men "sit up a little straighter" in their chairs?
- bitsculptor, on 10/28/2008, -4/+51It is good to hear that the digg community and the McCain campaign agree on some issues.
- miamidolfan13, on 10/28/2008, -4/+48I like that the McCain camp is turning on the person they where supposed to vet. Aren't these insiders responsible for this choice? They made their bed now they have to lay in it. Hahahaha.
- liquisoft, on 10/29/2008, -1/+43What's with the iTunes picture?
- overtoke, on 10/28/2008, -4/+41Stupid people are not attractive.
- apastafarian, on 10/28/2008, -10/+46Palin is a lot of things, whack job is the least of them. Heck, considering the daily damage she's doing to the campaign, whack job might be viewed as a compliment.
- AlaskaLoneWolf, on 10/28/2008, -5/+38How did it take this long for people to come to this awakening?
- diggit83, on 10/28/2008, -9/+41In before the "Palin can give me a whack job"
- pintomp3, on 10/29/2008, -4/+35is this some kind of reverse psychology?
Mccain adviser: Palin is crazy
voter: i agree, i'm voting for mccain! - JDoorjam, on 10/28/2008, -6/+33Actually, your mom's pretty good-looking.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -0/+21What about those of us who are voting for Obama because we can see McCain for who he really is. How can you possibly support him? He is buried so deep in hypocrisy it's insane. He doesn't care at all about the well being of this country. He has no idea what the average American in this country struggles with every day. He's been a career politician for most of his life. He is out of touch with reality and his only concern is for the wealthy in this country and by association, himself. He doesn't care at all about the millions of Americans that struggle from day to day. I say this because your argument seems to imply that because Obama has focused his attention and his policies on those people who need help the most that he's lying and by default McCain does care about these things more than Obama. Would you please listen to yourself? Your comment speaks volumes about your inability to look at these candidates objectively without bringing your own personal bias into the equation.
How is McCain better than Obama? Because he wants to keep tax cuts for people that don't need them? Because he wants to tax health care for the first time in our history? Because he wants to carry on spending billions of dollars per day fighting a war we have no business fighting? Because he "puts country first" by choosing a running mate that has been universally labeled as the most incompetent candidate for VP in United States history by all but McCain and the most zealous christian fanatics in this country?
There has never been a more clear choice facing the voters of this nation than what we're facing right now. McCain is an absolute disaster waiting to happen that would eclipse even what George Bush was capable of inflicting on this country. If Sarah Palin became President... I don't even what to consider the possibility of that happening.
Obama will be the next President of the United States. Not because he is able to uplift and motivate a nation that has been DYING for some leadership from our President. Not because he continually brings the discussion back to the issues that matter most to Americans. Not because he is actually Presidential in the way he carries himself in front of this nation and the world. He will be President because America will NOT allow another 4 years of Bush policies to destroy this nation and the rest of the world. McCain sees eye to eye with George Bush and his policies are the same. ENOUGH!!
Good bye Bush and McCain, you will not be missed. - noahgelman, on 10/29/2008, -0/+20You said this exact same thing in the people getting kicked out of the convention story and you got buried then and you're going to get buried now. You're an idiot. You obviously don't understand common sense and avoid listening to Obama out of sheer ignorance. I've listened closely to both and have decided for myself to vote for Obama because I have determined that a vote for McCain would not be in the best interest of our country. Try not to be such a douche and spout for ***** righteousness.
- inactive, on 10/28/2008, -0/+17Yup...time to throw someone under the bus. You can't fault her for being stupid. Some people are just going to be stupid. That's the way of the world.
The people of above average intelligence that try to put a stupid person in a position of power are the real whack jobs here. What could they have possibly been thinking? - psker, on 10/28/2008, -4/+21First smart thing I've heard come out of a McCain advisor's mouth
- hawkeye17, on 10/28/2008, -5/+21The "future of the Republican Party" is a "whack job". Wake me up I must be dreaming!
- lopla, on 10/29/2008, -4/+20"Some call her a maverick, some call her a whack job, some call her a moron. Well my friends, I call her our next vice president and I am proud of her, damn proud and I've got the scars to prove it."
-John McCain - inactive, on 10/28/2008, -0/+13Nonono! He needs to suspend his campaign again, hire a blue-ribbon commission and schedule another debate so he can skip it.
- Games4Life, on 10/28/2008, -2/+15In other news, Hell freezes over and Ron Paul becomes president of the United States.
- Mattwdj, on 10/29/2008, -0/+12 your an idiot. Journalists do it all the time. Of course an adviser isnt going to come out and say that.
- purzzzell, on 10/29/2008, -1/+13which is why the ACTUAL quote is "a stopped clock is right twice a day".
- madfrogurt, on 10/29/2008, -1/+12So you don't think that a losing campaign staffer wouldn't want to shoot his mouth off over a VP who may have cost his boss the election? Anyone with a brain can see Palin is a dimwit who can read a script well. I'd be pissed too.
- Djustme, on 10/28/2008, -4/+14The repugs are fighting so much, they need two camps? That sounds like a winning ticket! lol!
Obama/Biden for the WIN! - s0aar, on 10/29/2008, -1/+11however, the word 'broken' in that saying usually implies that the clock no longer works, and thus displays the same time throughout [i.e., the clock's hands have stopped moving, or the digital display is frozen.] therefore, the clock is right twice a day [on a 12 hour clock]
/nerd - FlaG8r, on 10/29/2008, -0/+10The advisor who made the statement is probably possessed by a witch.
- purzzzell, on 10/29/2008, -0/+10"for those that pay 90% of the taxes" = those that get 90% of the income.
- JoeMondo, on 10/29/2008, -3/+13McCain, his staff and Palin all trying to throw each other under the bus is very entertaining. Let's hope they all roll under the bus together is a knot of FAIL.
- inactive, on 10/29/2008, -0/+10You admitted that she is a whack job! LOL!
- duckley, on 10/29/2008, -0/+9
“There is only one Lord of the Rings and She does not share power.”
… as McCain has discovered whenever he’s with her. Palin has NO concept of how power works, except as a truncheon to impose your will on others.
Just LOOK at McCain’s eyes when he and Palin are together. He can see the monster who’s taken over HIS campaign for her own ends.
Personally, I say: Go, Sarah. Drag the party ever farther into the looney right wings.
Go on, Sarah, promote your Republican civil war. Institute your purges, your vilifications, GRAB that power that is rightfully yours!
You can do more than any of us to destroy the corrupt and overweaning slaves to Big Business and the Super-Rich.
Go, Sarah 2012 ! - SheilaNoya, on 10/29/2008, -7/+16Calling her a "whack job" implies she's crazy.
I wonder if the campaign advisor caught her preparing for a speech by saying a little prayer in her dressing room. I can picture the scene... head flopping back and forth, eyes rolling around in her head, her body convulsing while she speaks in tongues and sprays spittle from her foaming mouth. - eklife, on 10/29/2008, -4/+13giggidy giggidy giggidy
- aussiejan, on 10/29/2008, -0/+9To be fair, there are plenty of older people supporting Obama but there does seem to be too many of them that want to cling to what feels familiar even if it's bad for them and their country. I think too many older Americans still remember the days of "whites only" bathrooms and water fountains and segregated schools. They have not accepted the changes since the sixties. It's no wonder they can't accept Obama. That's an unfortunate reality.
- EricSchC1, on 10/29/2008, -1/+10Only the dumb ones...oh crap!
- dafragsta, on 10/29/2008, -0/+9Old person is ignorant and hard headed... and old.
While I know we'll all get old some day. I like to think my generation won't let unspoken racism and party politics dictate who we vote for. If you can't see that by the way Ron Paul (who is also old and doesn't talk about entitlements) grabbed our attention and made us listen, there is no hope for what's left of your generation. - kingofkolt, on 10/29/2008, -0/+9Whoever picked the iTunes ad for the article photo is a "whack job."
- bdit1200, on 10/29/2008, -0/+8I'm interested to hear more about your criteria... please expound.
- devonkeale, on 10/29/2008, -0/+8Seems like twice a day is an awful lot for someone in that campaign.
- quamquam20, on 10/29/2008, -0/+8I don't believe I've ever witnessed such a thorough beat-down.
I love you. - duggdowncatisad, on 10/29/2008, -2/+9thumbnail fail
- purzzzell, on 10/29/2008, -2/+9You're saying that THE DEMS are "trying to win with attacks rather than substance" and need to "stick to the issues"
?????
Where the ***** have you been?
Rick Davis, the campaign manager for McCain is the one who said "This election is not about issues".
I don't care to waste my time citing more examples of your hypocrisy. - dslfreakdude, on 10/29/2008, -0/+7actually because it is right twice a day, it's possibly accurate more of the time than most clocks, which would be 1 second too fast or too slow. Perhaps the expression should be
"even a stopped clock is precise twice a day"
/nerd - AndySavage, on 10/29/2008, -1/+8Hmm... Actually, it's your people calling her a 'whackjob' this time.
I'm absolutely loving watching the splintering of this played-out party. - inactive, on 10/29/2008, -0/+7A post so full of clichés that I expected to see a "/s" at the end; amazing. I'm actually digging you up so more people can see just how desperate and vile a righty can get.
