- jpsoraire, on 02/15/2009, -24/+162Senator McCain is starting to sound like the typical "Get off my lawn" guy. He is only repeating what he has said during his campaign, brings nothing new, and insists on tax cuts only. Senator McCain, I don't know if you got the memo, but you lost the election.....move on. Stop being so difficult to work with on purpose only to try to distract the people of the United States of American from recovering what is left of this great nation. If you ran on the idea of "Country First", then start acting like it. This country voted for Obama so that he can bring change, like something different than tax cuts. If you indeed believe in country first, well then Senator McCain, this country voted for change, and change is what you are failing to put first. Goodnight everyone!
- apexracing, on 02/15/2009, -20/+100You begin to think McCain thinks the election is still going.
- inactive, on 02/15/2009, -19/+86Old man yells at cloud.
Also too - mikesoba, on 02/15/2009, -23/+77A sore loser that won't get over it. He should find another mistress to keep him happy.
- franklymister, on 02/15/2009, -8/+60McCain is the same guy who admitted in the primaries that he doesn't really understand economics. It's blind ideology like his that got us into this mess in the first place.
I think it's just hilarious that the Republicans, whose radical overspending and irresponsible economic policies caused this mess in the first place, have the gall to claim they deserve to have their voices heard - particularly after the voters kicked them out of the White House, the Senate, and the House. - pintomp3, on 02/16/2009, -7/+50McCain: "The issue of economics is something that I've really never understood as well as I should. "
- ferrisnox, on 02/16/2009, -4/+44I live in Arizona, and its time for the geezer to go.... For a supposed war hero he did a great job cutting all veterans benefits. Not to mention he pretty much made every piece of evidence from the Vietnam P.O.W.s classified so that we could never see the truth. Whats he hiding??? much...
- shupy, on 02/16/2009, -16/+49Obama showed such a willingness to be an honorable winner. And he is repaid by a bunch of old white guys who can do nothing but act like petulant sore losers.
McCain needs to retire. He could have gone gracefully, but instead he is going down looking like he sold his sould to Rush Limbaugh and the Republican party. The guy seemed to have some integrity, but he's lost it all. - elliotys, on 02/16/2009, -10/+37McCain 2000= Principled, respectful, independent thinker
McCain 2009=Bitter, confused, Napoleon complexed little man - zelduh, on 02/15/2009, -11/+33I think that the problem is the PRESS! Why on earth are they still covering the rants of this has been?
- franklymister, on 02/15/2009, -3/+25I'd digg you up for the sentiment, but your caps lock and exclamation point spaz out is hurting my eyes.
- devophl, on 02/16/2009, -2/+23If you listen to McCain and the other Republicans, you'd swear they're trying to bring down the very institution they work for. I keep hearing from them that a dollar spent in government is a dollar wasted. Humm... those dollars pay your salary. You're part of the government. If you say the government is the problem... aren't you calling yourself part of the problem??
- AmericanElitist, on 02/16/2009, -11/+29"During the Senate debate, 36 of the Senate Republicans (McCain) voted for an alternative that would have cut taxes over the next decade by $2.5 trillion, [and] reduced the top marginal race to 25 percent," said the Atlantic's Ron Brownstein on "Meet the Press." "For John McCain -- who voted for that alternative of a $2.5 trillion tax cut over the next decade -- to talk about generational theft, I mean, pot meet kettle."
- Echota, on 02/16/2009, -14/+32FTA:
"He is bitter and really angry," Bob Shrum said of McCain in an interview on Friday. "He is angry at the press, which he thinks is unfair. He is angry at Obama and angry at the voters. He has gone from being an angry old candidate to being an angry old defeated candidate
And it's time for the angry old man to shut the he!! UP and get out of the senate! - FreddieD, on 02/16/2009, -2/+20I miss those days when Drudge would cherry pick one poll that predicted McCain was almost within the margin of error, then every conservative on Digg would go wild and claim that the presidential race was going to be close because of it.
- r0g3r, on 02/16/2009, -4/+22In other news, the Republicans are fed up with Nancy Pelosi. It's a big shocker, I know.
- macfan93, on 02/16/2009, -5/+23We should all send McCain angry emails about- oh wait, he doesn't know how to use a computer...
- omenmedia, on 02/16/2009, -2/+20-Starting- to sound like?
- TigerStar337, on 02/16/2009, -11/+28Obama was elected to find solutions to our nation's pressing problems. Obama and the majority Democrats need to implement the best possible solutions to those problems. If Republicans have genuinely good ideas (i.e., not their tired "tax cuts!" crap, especially now that Democrats have passed the largest tax cut in American history with zero Republican support), then fantastic. They can bring them to the table for due consideration. Otherwise, they shouldn't get a second thought from the adults actually trying to clean up George W. Bush's messes.
I find it ironic that only 3 Republicans supported the biggest tax cut in USA history. Funny!! And this after eight years in which they managed to turn a surplus into a trillion-dollar deficit and added a cool $32 trillion to the debt that the next generation will have to pay for. Every now and again their narcissism takes one’s breath away. But it’s all they seem to know. - Nairebis, on 02/16/2009, -6/+22Let me say that I'm a Republican that voted for Obama. That said, the whining that Democrats are doing is amazing. It's as though people think that we elected a dictator. We didn't. Very close to half the country did NOT vote for Obama.
The Republicans are doing what they should've been doing the last eight years... standing up for small government and fiscal responsibility. I wish these guys had shown up when they actually had power.
And no, I'm not happy that Obama doesn't seem to have a handle on the Democratic party like I thought he would. I think he's actually stunned how corrupt the stimulus plan turned out to be, but he's powerless to stop it. The Republicans are actually on the right side of all this.
We'll see if the stimulus plan that's getting approved actually helps us more than it hurts us. - Beatmiser, on 02/16/2009, -3/+18"they sure know plenty about pork and how to give millions away for projects and programs that will do absolutely nothing for getting the economy into gear. They also know how to evade the IRS..."
You sure you wanna go down this road? I have a feeling that you're going to get speared like a fat pig for a pygmy roast if you do. - sneaker98, on 02/16/2009, -0/+15I don't think either of you know what fascism or socialism means.
- Drahkar, on 02/16/2009, -1/+16That's what i was thinking. McCain has sounded like that for years. I mean I respect him for what he has tried to do in his life, but really. The guy needs to just retired. Him along with all the others who lack of skill and blind obedience to the top 10% has caused so much hardship. And no, I don't blame just the republicans for that. I an stating that all of the Politicians that fall into that realm should leave and let new blood in to try and help fix things instead of cover their own ass.
- shupy, on 02/16/2009, -5/+19Obama wasn't trying to appease, Obama was being a gentleman. Little did he realize what a moron McCain was.
- lordmike, on 02/16/2009, -2/+15Don't look now, but a Zogby poll out today shows McCain closing within a couple of points!
- WeHopeRushFails, on 02/15/2009, -15/+28@jpsorairejpsoraire "Senator McCain, I don't know if you got the memo, but you lost the election..."
LOL
Yeah, but apparently he may have gotten that other memo that's been making the rounds. The one declaring that Rush Limbaugh had won, not Obama. - TrevorBelmont, on 02/16/2009, -1/+13http://image.mycolours.com.au/large/1350243.jpg
- shupy, on 02/16/2009, -3/+14Funny how the Republicans are all acting like they haven't been behaving for eight years as though deficits didn't matter. Can anyone really believe them?
Well I've seen plenty of diggers complaining about the stimulous as being too much spending. Unbelievable. - srs2000, on 02/16/2009, -11/+21If the republican ideas worked... Our economy would be amazing.
Corporations allowed to do everything they want in secret. 2 wars going on pumping money into our economy. huge tax cuts to where most corporations don't pay taxes. ( http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN124946 ... )
But.. That can't be further from the truth. Seriously.. Only republicans have the audacity to try and recreate history. "FDR CAUSED THE GREAT DEPRESSION" "FDR's NEW DEAL FAILED"
Just sickening. - Kohaxx, on 02/16/2009, -6/+16I say we replace him with Saul Tigh from BSG, no one would notice except the rants would be filled with more entertaining word-choice.
- Qumahlin, on 02/16/2009, -0/+9Remember, only Republicans are allowed to spend recklessly. When they do it, its for the good of the country. When Democrats do it, its waste.
- srs2000, on 02/16/2009, -1/+10Come back to reality...
- r0g3r, on 02/16/2009, -2/+10This is absolutely true. You listen to him talk in 2000 and his answers sound very similar to the things Obama said in this campaign. You listen to him in 2008, and he sounds like the political opponent of the old McCain, the guy who actually did earn his silly "Maverick" title at one time by going against the religious right.
- thomasryan, on 02/16/2009, -1/+9dems fed up with mccain? sort of a dumb title for a story, you think he is trying to appeal to dems? uh... noooooo. im sure hes just as fed up with them as they are of him...
im not taking a side or anything i barely even skimmed through the story, the title just strikes me as stupid. - franklymister, on 02/16/2009, -0/+8Acting bi-partisan doesn't mean letting the losers who screwed everything up for the past 8 years keep running things.
- darkciti2, on 02/16/2009, -1/+9I hate to say it, but I was a Republican in 1999. During the primaries, when they picked Bush over McCain, I became a Democrat.
I figured, if these idiots are going to select "illiterate Bush" over "veteran McCain", I can't trust them.
I've been a Democrat ever since, and I have no intention of ever looking back. The 8 years of Bush Failure that followed merely hardened my resolve as a Democrat / Progressive. - inactive, on 02/16/2009, -1/+9Obama and fear-mongering fascist don't even belong in the same sentence. However, I can name some important names that do belong in that sentence.
1. Henry Paulson (oh noes sky falling, give banks money)
2. Dick Cheney (oh noes ter'rists, spy on everyone and start wars)
3. George W. Bush (oh noes, WMD's, bomb Iraq)
You get the picture here or is your worldview too clouded by Hannity and Colmes or Rush Limbaugh? - FreddieD, on 02/16/2009, -1/+9I feel like the only one that hasn't taken a side on the stimulus. I can make pretty good points for both sides. The economic liberal in me thinks infusing government money into the economy can definitely shorten this recession (by how much, I do not know) and it could be seen as a sound investment to get us out of this. Shorter recession = more opportunities for the govt to move back towards gaining a surplus = win.
On the other hand, the economic conservative in me is really concerned about infusing a trillion dollars of which we own not one penny. A great argument can be made to let the recession work itself out on it's own, which will take longer but then again we won't have even further debt.
I guess that's why this is such a heated topic, it feels like arguing Roe v Wade but with a checkbook... - julian02392, on 02/16/2009, -0/+8veins and all?
- nmezib, on 02/16/2009, -0/+7"This stimulus bill is too Gods-damned huge for Frak's sake!"
- jaxter2010, on 06/17/2009, -3/+10@elliotys: Okay how about this. I voted for Obama. I'm ecstatic he's in office. I find it irritating when I go to digg, a site which is supposed to be a mashup of sites all over the internet, and find 5 articles/day from HP just because they provide a slew of digg buttons at the bottom of their articles so all their readers can mass-click them.
Just a thought from a mindless prick... - kroses, on 02/15/2009, -32/+39He's always been a senile old fool. The problem is that Obama was trying to appease him. That was a mistake. McNut is a sociopath. You can't appease a sociopath! He is a Has-Been, and he should just be IGNORED!!! He has absolutely NO POWER!!! IF LEFT ALONE, HE WILL DISINTEGRATE, ALONG WITH HIS COHORTS!!! NO MORE APPEASING THESE FOOLS!!! WE WON!!!!!!
- omenmedia, on 02/16/2009, -5/+12I'm sure the Reptilians should be able to give him another wife from the same spawning chamber.
- geekee, on 02/16/2009, -0/+6Yes we fall as a nation. That is why it is imperitive to oppose the plans of the current administration. They are a recipe for disaster. Change isn't good if your idea of change is driving off a cliff to avoid hitting a tree.
- jpsoraire, on 02/16/2009, -4/+11@WeHopeRushFails Re: "The one declaring that Rush Limbaugh had won, not Obama.", please let him and Palin run in 2012 it like the golden goose that keeps payout at the casino.
I agree with you WeHopeRushFails, we do hope Rush Fails. Great username. - nalf38, on 02/16/2009, -4/+10I was hoping that he would stop lying about everything once he lost the Presidency and go back to being his old truly maverick self, but now he's just a GOP shill. "Generational theft" my ass. The Iraq war is generational theft in terms of money and in terms of human lives. The stimulus bill doesn't even amount to half of what we spend in Iraq every month.
- jaxter2010, on 06/17/2009, -18/+24I'm not liking this resurgence of HP spam either....
- jfts09, on 02/16/2009, -3/+9poor baby
- eddantes7, on 02/16/2009, -2/+8I think it should be a little more shriveled and old looking...
- inactive, on 02/16/2009, -10/+15Nothing upsets democrats more than when a Republican behaves like a Republican. That's the way it's been since Republicans deprived democrats of their slaves.
