Smart guy, and a politician who TRULY puts "Country First"! - Wryly, on 09/19/2008, -11/+31Gotta admit. It's sort of a mavericky move.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -6/+24"You Huff-Po fans haven't ever heard this guys name before. Please! Your not foolin anyone. Like he is you best buddy or something."
Who, Sarah Palin? - jroussell, on 09/19/2008, -6/+20lets see if this gets buried as inaccurate
- AndreiOttawa, on 09/19/2008, -11/+23Now that's a maverick
- withincontext, on 09/19/2008, -2/+14No, I have not heard his name before. Regardless, I am excited to see that "we're not as divided as our politics suggest."
Additionally, I'm not a Huff-Po fan. The fact that it was said in an interview with NPR is what led me to read the article. Here is a non-Huffington Post link for you, since you insist: http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0908/Republ ... - superfusion, on 09/19/2008, -4/+16Two conservative politicians and a former editor of the National Review.
Is this the Big Mo? - anubis2night, on 09/19/2008, -5/+17How is speaking about a matter that you don't know anything about make for a smart comeback, do some research before you take on Republican smear talking points, you'll learn a lot more that way.
- Soughtout, on 09/18/2008, -16/+27Precisely. That's a real example of putting "Country First".
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -1/+12Somebody didn't rtfa.
- UniQueLyEviL, on 09/19/2008, -5/+15Well that's something very nice to hear coming from our state! =D
- polandman1, on 09/19/2008, -14/+23yea hes from my district and he truly is a man that puts his "country first"
- youliveinfear, on 09/19/2008, -1/+9no doubt. Last time i heard Alaska mentioned this much, the Exxon Valdez had crashed.
- mehan, on 09/19/2008, -3/+10can we please stop using the word "maverick"? it's getting ***** old.
- m4lomb, on 09/19/2008, -1/+7If he is a true conservative, he will endorse Obama, not Mc Cain.
- sulthernao, on 09/19/2008, -0/+5Yeah a former editor who was a Goldwater Conservative.
- magus_melchior, on 09/19/2008, -1/+6Maybe, superfusion, but we would need a larger number of Republicans actively campaigning for Obama.
It's definitely encouraging that Republicans are forsaking the dirty politics that has marred their party. It's a bit sad that the contrast had to be this great and the hour this late. - TBagwell, on 09/19/2008, -0/+4Fail is the Ricemanstm's mantra
- Jedimonkey27, on 09/19/2008, -1/+5Not really for him. He is very liberal for a Republican. He has always been someone who I could easily see being a Democrat.
- IphtashuFitz, on 09/19/2008, -2/+6It seems to me that more and more Republicans are endorsing Obama. Very telling. It'll be interesting to see if (and how much) this trend continues through the next 6 weeks.
- rz8472, on 09/19/2008, -5/+9McCain puts country first. If by 'country' you mean the People's Republic of China.
- malex, on 09/19/2008, -1/+5"Do you see a pattern?"
Yes. You're fabricating strawmen arguments entirely from your own baseless paranoia.
I mean seriously... do you make sense even to yourself? - magus_melchior, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3If you think for a moment that this evangelical is going to switch to your party because of what amounts to several appeals to fear, well...
"I've got a bridge in Alaska to sell you!"
If you bothered to read the Bible, Ricemanstm, you would understand that fear is Satan's weapon, and in the hands of Republicans, they do his work very efficiently.
Sometimes I wish I were Moses and I could make a simple appeal to someone to set the evangelicals free of the Republicans' bogeyman grip. But just as false Christians have hijacked the Republican party, powerful distractions have ensnared them into voting Republican.
"Let my people go!" - br0ck, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3So let us get this right.. a gold digger marries a 70-year-old with $1.4 billion in cash and then takes his name with an easily-removed-after-death 'de' suffix is now not supporting Obama because he's won't support the middle class because he's too elite to relate to the middle class? And.. this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she won't be able to ride the Bush-McCain rich-people express train if Obama gets elected? Righhhht.
- magus_melchior, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3I can't understand why supporters of Paul, Barr, or Nader would troll discussions about one or both mainstream candidates, calling their supporters "Marxists" and blaming them for the impending doom that only they can see, while never offering anything positive to a discussion. All they're doing is ensuring that their candidates remain marginalized-- you don't attract voters by insulting them or simply saying the mainstream parties suck.
The only reason I can fathom without going insane with fury, is that trolls like these are actually Republicans trying to drive a wedge between the independent parties and Democrats, to keep them from forming a coalition. That's not going to happen either, since the independent parties by and large hate the Democrats' guts. So if it's Republicans trolling "on behalf" of the independents, they want them to stay marginalized.
Okay, maybe I can't figure it out without going insane with fury. - nihilville, on 09/19/2008, -1/+4Maybe you could talk about this in the Digg article that no doubts exist for this rich, elitist bitch finally gravitating to her own.
To continuously post it over and over again in a forum regarding a completely different subject is tantamount to spamming.
Now ***** off, troll. - D4M4N, on 09/19/2008, -7/+10The only reason this got on digg with the word maverick is because he is supporting obama
- slearwig, on 09/19/2008, -2/+5As a Republican Maverick.
At least I know where Spain is. - muckemuck, on 09/19/2008, -2/+5The irony here is she's filthy stinking rich and she calls Obama an elitest. Hahahahah..
I'm not voting "lesser of two evils" just because some incumbent who is part of the problem, or some rich windbag who is nothing like me, says they're voting for one of the two party candidates just because the other candidate is more evil. I'm not staying home either. I'll go vote for a third party candidate November 4th because I'm sick of the two parties. - rednip, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3China? More like Georgia, you know the country that his running mate threatened to defend against Russian intrusion. No surprise really, as his foreign policy expert is a paid lobbyist for that country.
Not that I'm a big fan of Putinist Russia, but it's just a perfect example of the lobbyist influence so present in his campaign. - mediablitz, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3The truth scares those faithful "tell me what to think!" Republicans...
- Deanblackoak, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3Oh yeah, McCain is your savior. He intends to attack Iran, strain our relationship with Russia, has already insulted one of our staunchest European allies, the democracy of Spain, doesn't know the difference between Shiites And Sunnis and as early as Sept. 11th 2001 started pushing to attack Iraqi (before even the Bush administration) even thought it had nothing to do with the attacks. Yes, he's a foreign policy genius. And I'm sure you do realize that Afghanistan is were the Sept 11th attacks came from. But maybe that's giving you too much credit.
- enantiodromia, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3hah that reminds me of how Sarah Palin went from total unknown to superstar in 3 seconds a few weeks ago, the red stater repubs acting like they were her best friend for years
- bubba9999, on 09/19/2008, -2/+5At least there's a chance that something can be changed. You really think that McCain is going to do anything other than invade Iran?
- Deanblackoak, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3patpl291 the case can be made that McCain does not know where Spain is or at least who the Prime Minister of Spain is. Look it up, it's all over the news, just in case you missed it. Idiot.
- emeralddragon, on 09/19/2008, -3/+6Case in point, one prominent Democrat not supporting Obama:
From http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/16/pr ...
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.
Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. - superfusion, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3wai.
- imgstacke, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3its all they have left....
- metaliq, on 09/19/2008, -0/+3treadstone: it's because inexperienced and unqualified and we are afraid that she would have undeserved power. so no ***** liberals wont stop talking about her. she's dangerous and shouldn't be where she is.
- iloveobama, on 09/19/2008, -1/+4Too bad he won't repeal the Patriot Act because he just recently voted to RENEW it. Real change, huh?
- iloveobama, on 09/19/2008, -3/+5They'll probably whine about how it's a republican conspiracy that nothing got accomplished. McCain and Obama are typical politicians. It's like cattle being herded along two different paths that lead to the same slaughterhouse.
- KJSatz, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2"rednecks"
Why's elitist, Obama saying people are getting bitter, or Lynn Forester de Rothschild calling those same people "rednecks?" The one who's royalty. - deleo, on 09/19/2008, -1/+3He can still be a Republican too and we will respect him and agree to disagree on some issues. Democrats don't make people change to be just like us or else. That's because the Democrats are Americans first, and a Party second; and not a cult like the Republicans have become.
- withincontext, on 09/19/2008, -1/+3Sorry for the broken link: http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/0908/Republ ...
Audio: http://www.cncnews.org/popup.php?stryid=sTD0PGiJ61 ... - mediablitz, on 09/19/2008, -1/+3how is buying into the same crap, decade after decade, from the Republicans, putting "country first"? How many S&L disasters, 500 billion dollar debts do you need before you stop slathering at the altar of the Republican spin machine?
How long do they have to keep increasing government, and increasing spending, before you realize you have been had? 2 decades (minus Clintons growth years) haven't been enough? How much lying do you need, before you say enough is enough? Apparently, more than 8 years... - enantiodromia, on 09/19/2008, -1/+3yeah, cos thats the same, major TV news outlet broadcast into millions of peoples homes vs a Liberal blog that its readers have to seek on their own.
- enantiodromia, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2"Obama you ***** suck at economics and your foreign policy can suck on my dick. ***** Obama, and ***** you stooges who think this guy is jesus."
You sound very well educated. Please enlighten us with more of your teachings. - superfusion, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2maybe that came across as sarcasm. it wasn't intended as such.
- tgray, on 09/19/2008, -1/+3He represents the Eastern Shore.
- Deanblackoak, on 09/19/2008, -0/+2bebopredux I think he was being facetious. And you fell for it.
