wow.
sorry. Rolling Stone is chasing the dumb vote. Not mine.
I waded through most of the slimy article but gave up at the "he wasn't tortured for 5 years, just the first 2"
I'd like to see the Rolling Stone piss ant go through "only" 2 years of torture.
oh, and where is the hit piece on obama?
too funny.
but the stupid vote was going to the dems anyway. this doesn't change muchI'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.Comment

Two weeks of torture and then being confined to a motel room with shitty room service for five years would break 99% of the people on this board.Comment

"I really could not finish this article, and it's a shame because I wanted to read it. If this is not swift-boating a person, I really don't know what is. I would never vote for John McCain as president, but this really is some Jerome Corsi-type stuff. The thing that is so shocking is how positively Rovian the article is; it zealously attacks McCain's perceived strength -- a la the Rove playbook -- with second-hand hearsay, de-contextualized history, and only the faintest praise of good deeds. The author actually damns McCain -- who had two broken arms and a broken leg and was in agony -- for telling his captors about his family pull. Think about the balls (or lack thereof) to actually accuse someone of that!
Listen, McCain has run a secretive, cynical, mean-spirited campaign and his "maverick" label has taken a beating. He was a bit of a lout as a young guy (I sure hope they don't start banning jerks from the military!), and not so great a pilot. I feel pretty safe in saying, however, that no one reading this article has sacrificed more for his country. That means something to a lot of Americans. For people to treat that sacrifice and, yes -- heroism -- as an inconvenient barrier to more efficient character assassination...well, I just have to thank you for reminding me why I don't read Rolling Stone anymore."Comment

In the same token, the red states are the poorest and least educated. They are technically the welfare states in our country by taking in more resources than they pay in.odd how the wealthy herd must be the stupid heard.

And if you removed the states that drag down our economy, you'd have mostly blue states.
They whole thing is much more complicated than that. For instance, Kerry killed with PHDs while Bush wins on just regular college graduates. Bush also won handily with people who don't have a college degree too.Comment

You can blame that on the fact that they get screwed by the federal government.
For every $1 that a California resident pays in federal taxes, they receive $0.78 back. In New York, they only get $0.79 back.
If they weren't forced to bailout states like Mississippi ($2.02 for every $1 they put in) and Alaska ($1.84 for every $1 they put in), they would have a massive surplus. Most of the blue states can survive without the federal government, the red ones can't.Comment

I believe they also pay in one of the most. Here is what I'm talking about dragging down.

States that receive more money than they put in. New York gets absolutely fucked by the federal government.Comment

well I guess we could give the land back to the indians.
I mean, we don't need alaska for anything, right?
And all of this makes my statements no less true. the rich vote republican, the poor vote for the party offering them handouts.
remove the poor from the voting rolls and a democrat would never win an election.I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.Comment

I agree, although the rich have received quite a bit in handouts from the government of late (Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie/Freddie, etc).
The same could also be said about Republicans. Remove the people who believe the Earth is 6,000 years old and they never get elected. Our voting system is fucked up. People who don't pay any taxes at all should not have a vote. Nor should people who can't figure out that the Flinstones wasn't a documentary.Comment

Main reason being repubs always tout themselves as being for less taxes and small government despite never delivering it.odd how the wealthy herd must be the stupid heard.
