The US Candidates Fight on Internet Grounds...

yeah. I saw that on newsnight and for balance they interviewed a republican who just released a book slagging Obama off. Kirsty wark wound him up with the question "You had this book ready to go. If Hilary Clinton was the preferred candidate all you'd do is change the name Obama to Hilary".

It also lead me onto that bravenews world site which I'm looking at this moment in time.

Can't work out if it's just pro democrat website or a social news site.
 
Yeah, I meant to have a look at that "Meet the Bloggers" site, but never had time. Cheers for the reminder, Mat! I believe this lot are 'liberals'. So, technically, shouldn't they be playing Devil's Advocate with both of them?

Just seen this on there, but it's a youtube reference...

I do believe this 'housing' episode may be the the one thing that brings McCain down! He's lied repeatedly about his own personal wealth, it would seem and is not really in tune with the US people. It seems the Republicans are merely rehashing old things(fears) about Obama and have nothing new! And the 'P.o.W.' thing has been done to death!

Such an innocuous question, as well! Didn't Nixon suffer a similar fate due to an innocuous question?
 
haven't really kept my eye on any of this, 8 years of bush has worn me out beyon belief. the house question was funny though. it seems like leading up to the campaign McCain was on the daily show every other week trying to reach out to the young but I think he might have un-did all of that. I do respect the fact that he doesn't always toe the party line and that he is firmly keeping the evangelicals in check I think (thank christ for that) but he still favors the heavy handed, agressive, neo-con foreign policy......for that my vote will go with Iraq O'sama....if Pocomoke peeps her head on here I'll get to try out this ignore function because I believe she had said how she hopes O'bama gets assassinated....nice girl.
 
I get the impression McCain is more hawkish than bush and i don't think he'd hesitate starting a new cold war or nuking Iran.

well I hope your wrong because the repub machine is getting behind him and he'll probably be president. when it comes to organized, character assisination politics, the repubs beat the demos by a mile every time. He's probably going to choose a VP who is socially conservative like bushy (mitt romney I think) then he'll probably die in office because he looks like he's dying anyway and we'll basically have Bush part II with romney,8 years of that asshole and then jeb bush will run.........i really hope i'm wrong but i have a bad feeling and zero faith in yank voters
 
I don't give a flying f**k who the next president is. They'll both carry on the US policy to subjugate the world.

The man is a war mongerer. Just seems like he wants revenge on certain parts of the world, to me!

No.

It's various news clips about him saying he'd be happy to stay in iraq for 100 years and some of the lies he's been caught out telling by the mainstream media.
 
I can't wait to watch the race(does it start Monday?). I love politics!

put up with bush for 8 years and you wouldn't love it......I'm dreading it, all of the shit throwing, the talk shows,the adds. The republicans always pull a rabbit out of their ass that manages to destroy the opponent's chances...its really enough to make my stomach turn. I hope O'bama gets it.....but I bet the repubs pull it out, they manage to every time.......but hey I live in Texas so my vote doesn't count for shit! Gotta love the electoral college!
 
Not sure they have a 'rabbit' this time, Knight. After all, the stuff being talked about anti-Obama has been used, abused and recycled for about 4/5 months! The only thing that can happen to Obama now, is Obama... er, and that's not withstanding "The Terrorist Fist Jab" incident!!

I hope your right Bigga. The repubs machine is so much more organized, efficient and effective when it comes to the dirty work, as evil as that is. I'm not saying the dems should stoop to their level but I think in the past when they haven't stooped to their level it cost them the election (as horrible as that all sounds, that is the state of US politics).

Kerry was useless but when that swiftboat bullshit came out he should have immediately jumped all over that. He has a medal of honor FFS and was going against a draft dodger and the repubs were attacking his integrity! And it worked!! Kerry sat their with his thumb up his ass.....i was dumbfounded. But it showed how tight the repub machine is (and the general naivety/intelligence of the voters).

You raise a fair point, Knight, however Obama is aggressive in his pursuit of McCain's mistakes. In fact, all he's doing is magnifying them, which seemed to be a Democratic no-no, a while ago. This housing debacle is a perfect example. Obama's campaign had an advert out on that subject within hours of the revelation of McCain's faux pas. Call it a 'right cross', if you will. He'll have to make sure he's not caught in another lie(how's that possible?!)!

And more so, when the debates come, we'll see McCain struggle as it's widely acknowledged that his oratory skills are incredibly poor, as well as his maths. Talking a big game and having a grasp on the economy are essential, in Office, surely?
 
well its 3:30am my time. I'm a bit pissed and caught wind that O'bama is choosing Biden and McCain is choosing Romney......I fucking knew it. Aw well. fuckin drudge report everytime.
 
The republicans will use "The rest of the worlds wants Obama. Don't let them tell you who should be your president" Crap. Playing on the national conciousness I'm guessing.
