CNN Fact Checks Obama's "Keating Economics" Video

Comment in News (10 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/07/2008
The Keating Five Scandal is hardly speculation. McCain's role in the scandal was well-defined. The housing crisis was a failure of both parties. The Dems pushed to expand credit while the Republicans pushed to deregulate, a dangerous mix. McCain's former … (see comment)

Yeah, why can't Diggers set aside naked partisanship in the face of contradictory facts they way you did by blaming Barney Frank. Oh wait. (see comment)

CNN: Sarah Palin Has Never Seen Russia From Alaska

Comment in News (28 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/01/2008
Who "dredged it up"? Palin volunteered it. Maybe if she gave more than three interviews, or if she actually said things that made sense, there would be more of substance to talk about. It's not the Dems fault McCain chose "Caribou Barbie" to be his runnin … (see comment)

VP debate moderator Ifill releasing pro-Obama book

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/01/2008
Tom Brokaw is moderating the third debate even though he is acting as NBC's "Special Liason" to the McCain campaign. Much like Ifill, Brokaw is a professional and I don't expect this will be a problem. It's not like your moderators are Sean Hannity and K … (see comment)

Voter Purging: Legal Way for Republicans to Swing Elections

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/29/2008
If there is voter fraud, of course it should be stopped, but these mass purges do far more to disenfranchise legitimate voters than they do to stop wrongdoing. This isn't a bid to fight corruption. It is a cynical attempt to disenfranchise likely Democra … (see comment)

Olbermann: Fox host doesn't bother to 'hide his racism'

Comment in News (6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/24/2008
Clinton passed a law? Wow. I thought that was Congress' job -- the Republican controlled Congress in his case. It wasn't until just recently that we discovered that the executive branch is a law unto itself. (see comment)

POLL: Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as VP?

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/22/2008
And after graduating almost at the absolute bottom of his class, McCain executively decided to crash his plane -- five times. I am not impressed by his performance in the Navy, although I do admire his sacrifice for his country as a prisoner of war. (see comment)

There He Goes Again: Fact Check on New McCain Ad

Comment in News (13 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/19/2008
Windfall profits taxes usually cover that contingency fairly well. If the oil companies raise prices, the demand goes down and the additional profit goes straight to the federal government. So the incentive to do so vanishes. It's not a great long-term s … (see comment)

AP refuses to comply w/ Secret Service on Palin's emails

Comment in News (25 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/19/2008
Which is why she never should have used Yahoo to conduct state business. In her defense, she was afraid that the state account would be subject to subpoena and she might go to jail for all those "unsolved" hobo murders in Nome... (see comment)

Iraq: " The surge is working" ? Not quite.

Comment in News (6 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/16/2008
Context is everything. He then pointed out that the political reconciliation and progress that the surge was supposed to facilitate has not happened, so the long term prognosis is not good. That's a well-reasoned analysis that has more depth than your si … (see comment)

Thank God for Barbara Walters?

Comment in News (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/14/2008
Then why didn't the country go to hell in a handbasket under Clinton? The Dems aren't blameless, but since Reagan, they are the party of fiscal sanity and reasonable foreign policy. The modern republican party makes me miss Nixon -- and that's pretty damn … (see comment)

Racism is alive and well in the Red heart of USA

Comment in News (12 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/14/2008
You know, the country already fell for the "there's no difference between them" line once with George Bush and Al Gore. I'm hoping they won't be dumb enough to make the same mistake twice. (see comment)

Jurors Regret Pot Verdict On Learning Of 20-Year Sentence

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/10/2008
@kcap122: I actually was asking for the constitutional authority, not a law or statute. I know they've granted themselves this privilege, but I believe it is unconstitutional. All rights not explicitly granted to the federal government are granted to the … (see comment)

Bill O'Reilly Slams Jon Stewart on Teen Pregnancy

Comment in Videos (11 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/10/2008
They didn't ask her to back up her statements. Instead, they tried to twist her words and insert comments into her mouth that she never made. It was clear that they had an agenda and didn't have integrity. They weren't after the truth, so it wasn't really … (see comment)

Jurors Regret Pot Verdict On Learning Of 20-Year Sentence

Comment in News (9 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/09/2008
The Federal government has no powers except those listed in the Constitution. All other law is regulated to the state. For instance, there is no Federal law against murdering people. Show me where it says in the Constitution that the federal government c … (see comment)
