- rhinofinger, on 10/06/2008, -7/+55Colbert/Stewart 2012! Or, rather, 2016, to give Obama a chance.
- skeetmuffin, on 10/06/2008, -28/+9no.
- IllBeBack, on 10/06/2008, -6/+24Yes.
- ChromaVita, on 10/07/2008, -0/+4I think the yes votes outweigh the no votes. I think the solution is clear... No is the winner.

- locojones, on 10/06/2008, -24/+3Are you really serious? What makes you think that two comedians (and I use that term loosely because most of their material isn't even funny) are the best choice to run this country?
- AtomicTheory, on 10/06/2008, -2/+16You did see that this is "in the Marvel Universe" didn't you?
- catfoodgood, on 10/06/2008, -3/+13Well, we let a psychotic clown run it for the last 8 years....
- haydesigner, on 10/06/2008, -3/+2@locojones: "Are you really serious? What makes you think that two comedians (and I use that term loosely because most of their material isn't even funny) are the best choice to run this country?
I TOTALLY agree with locojones!!!!
McCain and Pail are WAY funnier than Colbert and Stewart!
- skeetmuffin, on 10/06/2008, -28/+9no.
- republicker, on 10/06/2008, -1/+8this is a body of lies
- SyntraFTW, on 10/06/2008, -1/+16Nice. Wasn't it Marvel that basically had Kevin Rose on the front of a comic?
- cesclaveria, on 10/06/2008, -0/+7yes: http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/7360/capcho7fg7.j ...
- tiraspol, on 10/06/2008, -10/+24***** Obama/Mclame...their already bought and paid for....My vote is for John Stewart and Stephen Colbert!!!
- Shiftgood, on 10/06/2008, -5/+4So we know McCain has 7?9? lobbyists on his staff 2 or 3 of which are from Hess oil... plus the guy is running the same platform of the last 8 years.
Who bought and paid for Obama? what corporations? do they need war to thrive?
Im actually being serious and trying to promote an unbiased view... i just want to know.- dgaspard, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4Obama voted for the 700 billion bailout. He is same as the republicans as far as I am concerned.
The national healthcare is more about corporations such as wal-mart and target who have 1000's who employees who make $7.00. Those corporation would see a huge benefit if they didn't have to pay for insurance for those people.
Also corporations that are creating wind, solar, and nuclear energy give Obama a lot of money. It is because they are expecting all the tax breaks and benefits that oil has been given over the last 8 years.
Just keep in mind, he is running a $500 million campaign for a job that makes $250,000 / year. He owes a lot of people. - napshock, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3@dgaspard: hmm.. it actually sounds like a win/win/win situation. Win for ordinary citizens (health, lower taxes, and more jobs), win for the corporate giants & startups (alt energy), and win for the environment...
Domestic capitalism sound a lot better than waging a war, right? - enclaved, on 10/06/2008, -0/+5"Just keep in mind, he is running a $500 million campaign for a job that makes $250,000 / year. He owes a lot of people"
I thought it was 400k/yr for president? Regardless, At least with Obama he owes a lot of his money to an unprecedented amount of individual people. - Shiftgood, on 10/06/2008, -1/+2specifics anyone? i got a snickers ill wait.
- wilburcabbage, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3http://viviangrant.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/top-ca ...
quick google search - haydesigner, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3@dgaspard: "He owes a lot of people"
Yeah.
The AMERICAN people. - enclaved, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3wilbur, i love those stats each time they are brought up to sound like it is actually the company donating the money. At least this presentation cleared up that common misconception.
"These tables list the top donors to these candidates in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization’s PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates" - Shiftgood, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2Im not surprised to see Stanford on that list for Obama (where I live). You would get laughed out of town for supporting the McCain ticket.
So, the top schools, and technology companies are for Obama. (some banks)
Banks, telecom and military for McCain.
And I dont think this list represents who "bought and sold" the candidates. This is just showing where top donations from PACs come from.
Halliburtion is to cheney as Hess Oil is to McCain.
as Obama is to _________
someone fill that in? i need to know which company to buy stock in if he wins.
- dgaspard, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4Obama voted for the 700 billion bailout. He is same as the republicans as far as I am concerned.
- themastersb, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2How about voting for Ron Paul in all seriousness? The guy who wants to get rid of the Fed and actually provide a giant leap forward for global civilization.
- onelikeseabass, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2Write-in votes are handled differently depending on which state you look at.

- Shiftyeyedgoat, on 10/06/2008, -2/+2What is spiderman gripping onto with his hands?
- kolyana, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4He isn't gripping onto anything from what I can see.
Colbert is swinging on a strand of webbing past a stop light. Spidey is under his arm, hands outstretched.- Shiftyeyedgoat, on 10/06/2008, -4/+2with his feet positioned and his fingers gripping an imaginary support.
Right. Lazy cartoonists. - MiDri, on 10/06/2008, -1/+5Lazy cartoonist.... or retarded viewer?

- mtcobb2, on 10/06/2008, -4/+43***** that...
Wolverine/Gambit '08- jtbell04, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4***** that, Deadpool/Wolverine '08!
- gasin, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3Either way, Psylocke should be the Veep!
- cesclaveria, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3***** that. Mary Jane/Black Cat, any day of the week.
- Archer007, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3No one knows who Gambit is, because he's lame.
- ChromaVita, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2I always used to play Gambit in the SNES Xmen game I had as a kid. He's the only reason I know who he is.
- Durrok, on 10/07/2008, -0/+1wtf? Gambit was my favorite character on x-men. Come on, he could turn anything into an explosive... that's just badass!
- Cyrock, on 10/06/2008, -4/+12BEARS!

- Konrad9, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3Bears are Godless killing machines.
- pagno, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2FTA:
The New York Times reports that Colbert will square off against The Grizzly in the comic.
- mcsenget, on 10/06/2008, -7/+2Wish they would have Ron Paul run against him and win so that we could depict how nice life would be.
- cadmiumpaint, on 10/06/2008, -10/+5The ONLY place Ron Paul belongs is in comic books.
- PFrocker, on 10/06/2008, -1/+16Tek Jansen has to show up in Marvel.
- twotimesthru, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3With his alter ego, Tek Jansen, this could work out very well...
- macweirdo42, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4Now, more than ever, with the danger of Skrulls living in our midsts, we need the power of truthiness!
- Sommerlost, on 10/06/2008, -5/+2More crap for the mu to chew on, if the X-Men going green and uprooting to SF wasn't bad enough.
Nothing against Colbert himself, but damnit Quesada. - ChaoticInfinity, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4Tip of the hat to that.
- Rizzen, on 10/06/2008, -1/+2QUESADAAAAAAAA
- billbugger, on 10/06/2008, -7/+21I love my generation! Gen-Y FTW!
- ***** PC
- ***** unnecessary racial tension
- ***** the Government not working for us
- ***** the bullying attitude America has.
- ***** the backwards thinking of 'to the letter' religious belief.
- ***** the MSM
- ***** apathy.
We are finally in a position to take our loving country back where it belongs, in the hands of the people.- ChaoticInfinity, on 10/06/2008, -1/+2Damn Straight!
- Rethcir, on 10/06/2008, -1/+7Good luck with that.
- faceless323, on 10/06/2008, -0/+25I always felt Gen-Y was the most apathetic or not. who cares
- longbow486, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4Your in!
All RIGHT!
Not with that attitude
- longbow486, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4Your in!
- frieddonuts, on 10/06/2008, -1/+7Us Gen-Yers might hate the MSM, but from what I've seen, most of the news from non-MSM sources on the internet is incredibly biased and inaccurate, based more on rumor than cold hard fact. There are exceptions such as Politico and FiveThirtyEight.com, but all of the Crooks and Liars and Huffington Post wannabes out there drown them out. I'll stick to the MSM until these jokers get their act together.
- ancientshoes, on 10/06/2008, -1/+2***** PC, ***** the MSM, unnecessary racial tension don't fit in ideology with the rest of what you put in.
- oblique63, on 10/06/2008, -1/+4***** the RIAA?!?!
- Wangeye, on 10/06/2008, -0/+4Too bad the majority just bitch on internet sites...digg... and don't put anything into action.
- jgtg32a, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3Which fits right in with the Gen-Y
- Maenad71, on 10/07/2008, -0/+0I was going to say "what about Anonymous" but then realised that everybody I know who is part of that are Gen-Xers.
- dafragsta, on 10/07/2008, -0/+2You seriously believe yours is the first generation to try? I say yours is probably the most disingenuous with the highest percentage of selfishness. Don't worry though, it's a trend. Mine was second most selfish and most self important. It's a total stroke of irony because every generation since the kids of the 60s has wanted to change the world in a very disingenuous and apathetic way.
There hasn't been one leader who has been able to unite the majority in a search for the greater good in a long time. I think you guys will be severely disillusioned if Obama inherits a great depression. He'll be a lame duck from day one. - Maenad71, on 10/07/2008, -0/+0I seriously hope you're right. Unfortunately all the Gen-Ys I know (and that's a lot since I'm a mature aged uni student) are too timid and conservative to say boo about anything. But that's in Melbourne, Australia.
- jwoelmer2, on 10/06/2008, -6/+2I was expecting to see "onion.com" based on the odd title...
- Shiftyeyedgoat, on 10/06/2008, -3/+3LOL FUNNAY TITUL MUST BE FRUM ONION

- jernomer, on 10/06/2008, -1/+2I think a Stephen Colbert cameo, as mentioned in the article, is a great idea.
- quistoman, on 10/06/2008, -1/+3Truth didn't seem to work so well for Ron Paul in the real world so maybe in fantasy it will do wonders for Stephen Colbert?
- Maenad71, on 10/07/2008, -0/+0Truthiness isn't the same thing. In fact, it's the opposite.
- XxpokemasterxX, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2he's got my comic vote

- umbriago, on 10/06/2008, -0/+2But imagine if you're Colbert and you see this cover. Life is not going to get better than that.

Peter Parker is the guy the beard. He's using a hologram projector because he's in hiding due to the Super Human Registration Act. - fireashes, on 10/07/2008, -0/+3My fav quote "Colbert is a true American hero. He's said so on TV, which means it must be true!"
