- VCubed, on 09/28/2008, -4/+82Y'know, the press corp is the worst culprit of them all. They should cover the issues, domestic and foreign, that impact our lives, and not give any air time to McCain's antics except to analyze how effective he is.
- ginny56, on 09/28/2008, -6/+70McShame on him for wasting everyone's time with all his histronics. If it looks like an idiot, walks like am idiot, and quacks like an idiot then.........
- AverageJane2, on 09/28/2008, -5/+52KAMIKAZE John. Loves it!

"The Bull Leaves the China Shop" http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/200 ... - chrissku, on 09/29/2008, -3/+38I'm waiting for his next smoke and mirrors display this week by the McCain camp to try and derail the Palin/Biden debate.
- giddytonk, on 09/29/2008, -3/+36McCain in the membrane...MCCAIN IN THA BRAIN!
- inactive, on 09/29/2008, -3/+36What happened Rightards? Where's the crazy defense of your lunatic candidate?
I am loving every minute of this... - AlphaNeonic, on 09/29/2008, -1/+32I like to believe that McCain is still that badass warhero from back in the day. He knows Barack will be the better president so he's doing everything in his power to make sure his own campaign just blows up, giving Obama the presidency. It could be McCain's last act of good for the country.
McCain on his death bead: "They can never know Barack.... they can never know...." - fishbeef33, on 09/29/2008, -1/+28The fact that McCain could have a terrible, embarassing week like this and STILL have as much support in the polls as he does is just frightening. It also shows that the past 8 years of Republican disdain for, and degredation of, our education system is benefitting them.
- martalli, on 09/29/2008, -1/+28These days the Daily Show is the best show on television...their source material just gets richer and richer by the day.
- IphtashuFitz, on 09/29/2008, -2/+29Yeah, but he (and Palin) are providing tons of fodder for the late night comedians, so he's not entirely useless.
- fishbeef33, on 09/29/2008, -0/+20Rightards? God, and I though "Libtards" sounded stupid.
Whatever side of the aisle you're on, adding "tard" to a word as an insult is just...retarded. - MikeMitchell, on 09/29/2008, -5/+25I cant wait till he ***** his pants on stage.
It will be the icing on the poop cake that is John McCains recent life. - nick1971, on 09/29/2008, -1/+21OK to summarize. He is old, he has been sick, there is a 1/3 chance that he dies in the 1st 4 years. His vice president is an idiot, Having studied politics she has qualified as asinine a point which after months of work she has obtained the skills of the hebetudinous. She would have the nuclear launch codes is this good I think not.
- gothsquirrel, on 09/29/2008, -0/+19I'm getting some popcorn for that one. I'm thinking funniest debate of all time.
- darkmachina, on 09/29/2008, -2/+20The scariest part is that after 8 years of Bush, we as a nation find it amusing when a presidential candidate makes a complete fool of himself and embarasses himself and the nation. We should be mortified by the fact that a presidential candidate can conduct himself in such a pathetically comical matter that I can't tell the difference between CNN and Comedy Central.
I mean its funny, but isn't it a bit depressing that we are so used to our president acting like a complete idiot that we aren't even surprised by it anymore. Can you imagine a leader of a foreign superpower acting like a cartoon charater or in McCain's case an actor on a poorly rated soap opera.
It really would be nice to go on vacation and not have to say I'm from Russia and I just happen to speak very good English anymore. - inactive, on 09/29/2008, -1/+18This guy is an absolute trainwreck.
- bamatime, on 09/29/2008, -0/+17That list of "liberal media" getting a little long huh? That could mean only one thing: We're right; You're wrong.
- kirtap, on 09/29/2008, -1/+17If you ask me, I'd rather have someone with less experience in there asking tough questions than an old, "experienced" good ol' boy like McCain pumping the same B.S. out of the white house for another 4 years.

watch for the telling pregnant pauses before each Palin answer. - pennsykid2000, on 09/29/2008, -1/+15McCain Losing Core Supporters
WASHINGTON, September 29 – John McCain appears to be losing support among
a key group of voters who had hitherto stood firmly with him and Governor Palin,
even as his poll numbers among other groups fell dramatically.
A new Gallup poll shows that, for the first time, McCain's approval
rating has fallen below 50% among total ***** morons, and now stands
at 44%. This represents a dramatic drop compared to a poll taken just
last July, when 72% of total ***** morons expressed support for
McCain and his policies.
Faltering approval ratings for McCain among a group once
thought to be a reliable source of loyal support gives Republicans one
more reason to be nervous about the upcoming elections. "If
we can't depend on the support of total ***** morons," says Sen.
Mitch McConnell (R-KY), "then we've got a big problem. They're a key
factor in our electoral strategy, and an important part of today's
Republican coalition."
Not all Republican lawmakers are concerned about the poll. While Sen.
Lamar Alexander (R-TN) agrees that his party should not take total ***** morons
for granted, they "really don't have anywhere else to go. They're
never going to be able to understand someone intelligent and articulate like Barack Obama
who wants to talk about issues. Just try having a conversation with them
about global warming. They'll say, 'Oh, but Rush says volcanoes
consume more ozone than humans do.' I mean, they're total
***** morons!" - socalftw, on 09/29/2008, -0/+14...sadly, other idiots will follow.

- fani, on 09/29/2008, -0/+14Dear Mr. ProUSADigger,
Please remember that if you get lots of negative diggs and diggers are ragging with rational answers on you, it means that you are completely off track in your comment.
Sincerely,
Me - MikeMitchell, on 09/29/2008, -0/+13Have you ever lived in Chicago? If there were any more police, there would be ***** gridlock. Theres like 17 gangs, and a failed projects system which is being torn down and replaced with mixed income housing. I lived there a couple years and the city has made amazing progress, but still has a long ways to go.
If you want to get into why there is so many murders in Chicago, you can thank your NRA lobbyists, and your GOP candidates who let things like the ban on assault weapons expire. There is 15,000 gun murders in the US every year. Are those Obamas fault too?
Chicago has had a history of crime long before Obama was even born, but I am sure thats his fault too. Get a ***** grip. - barryiggins, on 09/29/2008, -0/+13what are you, some kind of independenttard?
- AmazingA, on 09/29/2008, -0/+12Wouldn't that be awful if you were running for President and TRYING to throw the elections, but people kept supporting you? That's my new theory, nothing else explains his actions.
- jro2280, on 09/29/2008, -1/+13End the Drama - Vote Obama - Nice!!
- HarryRag, on 09/29/2008, -3/+15McCain not getting a game-changer means Obama wins. A game-changer seems very unlikely, especially with the first debate past us. And with the upcoming VP debate, it can only get worse.

- br0ck, on 09/29/2008, -4/+15A fellow digger posted a great timeline, including video, of most of the zigs and zags McCain has taken over the last few weeks at http://johnhummel.blogspot.com/2008/09/timeline-of ...

I don't know, I think the Palin family has probably already endured enough pregnant pauses recently. - razor150, on 09/29/2008, -0/+10How many Iraqis have died? How many in Baghdad alone? Suddenly your comparison sounds really stupid.
- Wryly, on 09/29/2008, -5/+15Obama *doesn't understand* drama.
- Coffeedemon, on 09/29/2008, -0/+9Dugg for the juxtaposition of a term like hebetudinous in a paragraph full of grammar errors. :)
- magus_melchior, on 09/29/2008, -0/+9"End the Drama - Vote Obama"
"Oy, that rhymes, Brain." - bemenaker, on 09/29/2008, -0/+9The GOP already asked for and got a change of format to lessen Palin's stupidity.
- brentinkc, on 09/29/2008, -0/+9Indie-tard, perhaps?
- Augustine08, on 09/29/2008, -0/+9Oh, I don't know. I rather liked Newsweek's article "The Bull Leaves the China Shop" http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/200 ...
- sindex, on 09/29/2008, -0/+9They've already changed the rules so Biden can't just school her in direct responses. I think the VP debate will be a sad farce of repeating talking points with little to no substance. Kind of like the Presidential debates, come to think of it. Never in my life have I witnessed two men use so many words to say so very little.
- cheesegypsy, on 09/29/2008, -1/+8If Kerry was a flip-flopper, what the hell do you call McCain? A crazy-ass old man who will do anything to get the presidency, that's what. It's almost as if he knows he's going to die in a year and is willing to pull any and every stunt so that he can have his name in the history books before he goes.
- wafla, on 09/29/2008, -1/+8Dear "Me": You're only saying this because your candidate can't make a decent decision to save his life. Therefore, you propose, everybody ELSE in the world must be wrong.
That's ass-backwards. You lose at being American. - darkmachina, on 09/29/2008, -0/+6Well, I could stick to talking points, but I will take another approach. Here is why I personally like Obama:
1. Temperment- Obama is even tempered and does not go purely on knee-jerk reactions. He is cool and calm under pressure and I believe that a president needs this skill. He analyzes situations and does not make impulse decisions.
2. Intelligence- Obama finished near the top of his class from Harvard and was president of the harvard law review as well as a professor of constitutional law.
3. Values - Obama gave up a job at a top law firm to become a community organizer (which by the way is at times a very thanksless position without much income attached) showing a genuine caring for people who are down on their luck (emotionaly and financially)
4. Policies - Tax cuts for middle class, providing access to affortable health care for everyone and lowering premiums for those who already have health care, investing in our failing education system with benefits such as merit pay to bring in better teachers, bringing the Iraq war to an end and putting that money into OUR infrastructure, Investing in alternative energy solutions and in doing so creating a wealth of "green" jobs
5. Background - Obama comes froma unique background which has given him exposure to different cultures and an understanding of different cultures and problems. He will create a new image of America in the eyes of the world. This is very important in bringing back America's standing in the world.
Now these are the reasons I am personally voting for Obama, not for talking points, not for party affiliation (because up until this year I was not affilliated with any major party), not for the nonsense I hear on TV. When I hear him speak, he speaks logically, intelligently, and with true understanding of what needs to be done. Hope this helps - Coffeedemon, on 09/29/2008, -0/+6Sounded snide but I was kidding. A couple of commas is no big whoop. I'd suggest using more but shorter sentences if you're in doubt of where to put punctuation. Really I just needed an excuse to thank you for the awesome 'new' word.
- pennsykid2000, on 09/29/2008, -1/+7“OBAMA–NO DRAMA” has never been more appropriate than now. Voters should keep this in mind as they watch the flighty, impulsive, mercurial McCain.
- CSheikh, on 09/29/2008, -1/+7Another true article about McCain that isn't positive. I wonder when the neo-idiots will flag this one as inaccurate too.
- jayzfans, on 09/29/2008, -1/+7The only reason this man is still in the race is because of racism.
