- jsatz23, on 09/08/2008, -16/+21At least she has opinions on issues. Something we would not know thanks to the Mainstream Media.
- statuescrumble, on 09/09/2008, -0/+7I agree, although you will be dugg down by the natural hidebound Digg reflex. I support Obama, but the focus on Palin is ridiculous. All I know are some extremely biased tidbits of her heavy conservatism, nothing much more.
- AlwaysDuggDown, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Whether it is for....ughhh.....Digg popularity.....or actually.....ugh....expressing my opinion....ugh....commenting on that comment is....ummm....above my pay grade.
- richirwin, on 09/08/2008, -8/+40If Palin's positions on issues become known, McCain will lose the moderates/independents.
- Dewhead, on 09/09/2008, -2/+3This article is not accurate.
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/sliming_pa ...- CoolGui, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2I'm glad you brought the facts... that's always refreshing. But I don't think this article really makes the charges you think it does, but rather an editorial on what are widely accepted as her views. Did you read the article? The article even said that some of the rumors are untrue. Please read it again...
Sometimes people are too eager to poop on an article because it's on the huffingtonpost... even without reading it. Just realize it's basically blogs or commentary by different people, just because one author plays it loose with the facts, doesn't mean everything on the site is worthless. - arch3r, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2Reread the HuffPost article. I don't see a single thing in the original article that goes against anything in you factcheck.org article.
* The HuffPost article agrees with the incorrect info that Palin cut the special edu budget by 62%. Says that is not true.
* The HuffPost article does not say Palin demanded to ban any books. Says she talked to the librarian about banning books but it never went any further.
* The HuffPost article does not mention anything about the AIP.
* Again, not mention about Buchanan in the HuffPost article.
* And the HuffPost article agrees with factcheck.org with regard to creationism .
So please show me where the Huff article is not accurate according to the link you posted?

- Cuchanu, on 09/08/2008, -4/+8There are a lot of unreasonable people in this country that think she is as great as George Bush was in 2000 and 2004. Those nutjobs have a new hero in 2008.
- Lifescape, on 09/09/2008, -1/+3Wait....George Bush was great?
Those "nutjobs" better not make the same mistake for the third time in a row. - CoolGui, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2I've been thinking the same thing. Oh noes!
- Cuchanu, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1@Lifescape
He was the second coming of Jesus to the bat ***** crazy people that re-elected him in 04. To me he wasn't great, I wasn't very clear there I guess.

- Cuchanu, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Yeah cause things have been going so well the last 8 years under GB. The only major difference between the two is that McCain recognizes that we have an impact on our environment and he cares about reducing it. But McCain is even more pro-war than Bush. Aren't you worried that his attitude could lead us to another Cold War with Russia?

- duckley, on 09/08/2008, -10/+17HOW TO UNDERSTAND Sarah Palin:
She's the person who will help McCain keep America in the DITCH the Bush drove us into. - Cuchanu, on 09/08/2008, -8/+17WTF is a hockey mom anyways? One of the things that makes America great is the diversity. So for these republicans at the RNC to be saying the best thing about her is that she's a 'normal American' is nonsense. Everybody normal human being that lives in this country is a 'normal American'. I find it offensive to say the least because it somehow implies that non-white, non-rural (or suburbian) moms are inferior. A muslim/Asian/black/Italian/Hispanic person falls just as much into the category of a 'normal American' as does Sarah Palin. She is not qualified to be the VP let alone the President because she is a 'normal American'. Thanks to Jon Stewart for being the only person in the media to point this out.

- Cuchanu, on 09/09/2008, -5/+10You can analyze it however you want. We can't pretend that all Americans are the same, however, because it's simply not true. Different people are affected by different issues. The Dems are at least trying to address those issues. The Republicans can claim they treat all Americans as Americans as long as they are white, christian, wealthy and straight (or pretending to be).
Your bullet points sound about right. The one about taking money away is ***** though because laws are made for and by rich people so it's not that simple.
Let me add some points:
You scared people need to pull the "R" lever or you'll get blown up by "Radical Islamic Terrorists".
You rich people need to pull the "R" lever because the Dems want to take all your money.
You christian people better pull the "R" lever because Dems want to kill babies and let gays marry.
You blacks better pull the "R" lever because ... ah, who are we kidding.
You patriots better pull the "R" lever because Dems want to lose a war.
See how that works?

- swhite76, on 09/09/2008, -1/+4A hockey mom is like a soccer mom, only her kids play a real sport. Except that it's on ice. Us northerners do have culture, it's just no one seems to pay much attention, not that it bothers us.
- Cuchanu, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Nothin' wrong with hockey. I bet it's fun they just don't play it around here. I think a soccer mom or a hockey mom is just a made up demographic and doesn't mean anything. That's my point.
- theaverageidiot, on 09/09/2008, -1/+2@Cuchanu: Did you seriously just try to turn this into a racial issue? Completely irrelevant.
- Cuchanu, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1Well then what makes her a 'normal American'? Hockey? Hunting? Extreme religious viewpoints? I don't think those are things the average American shares with her. Do you think they would have said she's a normal American if she was a Mexican American? Maybe you can tell me what makes her a normal American. And then you can tell me what makes people not like her 'abnormal' Americans.

This one is actually researched, and not sensationalist. Rare commodity out of HuffPost, but if you don't digg up when they do something right, they'll never learn any sort of good journalism.- Sfenton, on 09/09/2008, -1/+1Huffington Post is an internet tabloid.

- mr_wej, on 09/09/2008, -1/+1Quite a fancy list, but I'm not sure how much of it has to do with republicans. If it is your argument that only "reactionary right" are inept then you are being very selective in your memory. Katrina was mishandled due mainly to crony ism (a plague for both parties, Clinton being one of the worst), $4 gas is inevitable when we have unprecedented global and domestic economic productivity increases and demand for more energy and simultaneously refuse to increase supply or innovations at home, 7% unemployment is simply false (actual 5.5% unemployment is actually extremely good during a very normal and expected recessionary period), crashing housing market was due to an over-zealous population of housing speculators and lax lending standards - I don't really see a connection to politics (liberals could have just as easily tried to reign in the party but nobody wanted to), and the climate crisis... ok, you got us there, why don't you write the Democrat-controlled congress and ask them what the hold up is on solar tax credits?
- dildoolielly, on 09/09/2008, -14/+19You are The Boss... which team would you hire?
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an ***unusually critical*** election year.
Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899
& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
Now, which team are you going to "hire" ?- TheInformer, on 09/09/2008, -3/+3More comparisons:

- mediaspree, on 09/09/2008, -1/+3Well researched, but sadly irrelevant. The MAJORITY of the voting population is high school educated or below. Who will they vote for?

- mr_wej, on 09/09/2008, -1/+2School professors have the answers to these problems? Wow, I had no idea, I guess I'd go for none of the above and just have a professor run the country. **rolls eyes** By the way, did you know George W. Bush is an Ivy League graduate, is that why you voted for him?
- scamper22, on 09/09/2008, -3/+1None of them have ever had a real job.
You think a BA in political science or history is anything to be impressed by?
Sorry if I'm not impressed by law school either.
Show me a candidate with a real job. Show me a candidate that has actually done something besides getting a job in bureaucracy. Show me a candidate that is able to formulate policies that make sense.
Show me a candidate that is a doctor.
Show me a candidate that started their own company.
Show me a candidate that is an engineer.
...
This will no doubt get dugg down. Yet, I haven't heard anything insightful from Obama. He might be educated. Yet, he's hardly any more intelligent than any of the other idiot politicians. Just another bureaucrat.

I have no degree of any kind yet I quite happily have a six figure salary.
Now, would you prefer someone such as myself with years of on the job experience or someone fresh out of school with multiple degrees? If I were given the same choice, I know which worker I'd pick.- osko2052, on 09/09/2008, -1/+1Heck, I would take a high school dropout for president if they fit the bill. Education means very little.
- osko2052, on 09/09/2008, -2/+1Your post is a copy and paste. I have seen it before. Don't you have anything original to offer? It takes more than education to shape a leader. McCain-Palin 08

Kerry was up as much as 5% even the week before the election. (depending which poll you believed) The key are the state polls. If the race in PA, NV, CO, VA, and OH start to go towards McCain then we can safely say that's a solid trend. If they don't move the nothing has really changed.

It's not being a McCain bury brigade if you put the actual source for an article in the Digg post. And then encourage people to submit and digg up stories from places OTHER than HuffPo and DailyKos.
For example, for this article, the following site:
http://thinkprogress.org/palin-digest/
...has a much more thorough, just as factual list of reasons why Palin is inconsistent, incorrect or just ***** crazy. It's a superset of the info in the huffpo article, without being Yet Another HuffPo Article.
It wouldn't have been that hard to look at what huffpo was using for its source, and submit that instead! Don't let Digg be a news aggregator of other news aggregators. Knock out ONE degree of seperation at least. Same goes for sites that just point to youtube vids. Don't give them ad revenue just because they figured out how to embed a video on their page!
Grr. My lawn, off it, etc. etc. - superkendall, on 09/09/2008, -1/+2What a surprise - another hit-piece unrelated to her real record. Us Libertarians are smart enough to see through the relentless flood of crap like this. Why do you think her poll numbers have skyrocketed?
