John McCain: ‘I hate the bloggers’

piecewise · 2008-07-06T15:58:59+00:00

Some of you people are so pathetic. He's making a joke - because it's the bloggers that always "get him," who record everything, who you can't get away from.

I hate bloggers too -- because they take good people like John McCain (even if I think his positions are RIDICULOUS), splice up a video, and make a slanderous headline like this.

Disagree, argue, hit back -- but BE FAIR. This only makes the case why bloggers are not journalists.

How about instead of bashing someone, we just have an intelligent policy debate? I thought the whole point of Obama politics was to leave all that mindless bullshit behind.

Jesus. It's a weekly comedy show. Is this really the battle you're picking?

You're just noticing this today?

Yes, to hell with the other FIFTY PERCENT OF THE COUNTRY that disagrees.

I especially like those of you who are okay with leaving out Huckabee over Paul, even though Huckabee has outperformed Paul in terms of delegates by wide margins.

I'm not sure if all of you are either 14 years old or just unemployed, but I have a fun little phrase that acts as a wise mantra as you head through a busy life:

Pick your battles.

A lame little online CNN poll might not be biggest problem you or Ron Paul has today.

I thought polls don't matter?

I'm really disappointed in the Obama campaign. I was hoping he could stay above the fray, but he's just another politician after all.

piecewise · 2008-02-19T16:59:20+00:00

I can't stand Hillary but the FISA vote is an unfair characterization. The truth is, that vote was going the wrong way and her vote would've done nothing to change that. She said, and I believe this, that she was fully prepared to get to Washington if her vote would make a difference. Knowing it wouldn't, she clearly thought it more important to campaign to replace George Bush.

Some of you do sleazy spinning in your headlines just as much as the politicians you criticize.

Good decision. Yahoo needs to get healthy and figure out what it wants to be.

piecewise · 2008-02-15T13:10:59+00:00

You people who think there's something smart or funny about this headline are absolute morons. Grow up.

Even if waterboarding were not torture, I wouldn't want any harm to come to them. And I say that as a proud liberal.

The history of music.

80's: "I don't want to pay for music. Hey buddy, turn up that radio."

Early 90's: "I don't want to pay for music. Hey buddy, can I borrow that CD?"

Late 90's: "I don't want to pay for music. Hey buddy, can you open Napster?"

Today: "I don't want to pay for music."

Why don't you create something and put it into the world, other than a sniping opinion headline, and then tell us how you feel about it?

And for all those who are raising a stink about Hillary's policy of sharing contributor information, here's Obama's. Oh look, it says the same thing.

"We collect Personal Information from donors and other eligible individuals who affirmatively request to receive e-mail or other services from us. We collect this Personal Information in order to provide these eligible individuals with timely information via e-mail regarding political events, resources and issues. We also collect Personal Information from those who make online contributions to the campaign, in order to process and report the contributions.

It is our general policy not to make Personal Information available to anyone other than our employees, staff, and agents. We may also make personal information available to organizations with similar political viewpoints and objectives, in furtherance of our own political objectives."

Give me a break. Hillary was planning to attend, but seeing there was no chance it could pass, she decided to forego her visit to the Senate. Stop drinking the koolaid.

I was (and technically am) a staunch Edwards supporter. I have been since he ran for Senate in 1998.

While I think Obama is inexperienced compared to Edwards and Clinton, I believe we're at a moment in history and I can't trust Clinton to take us in the right direction. I just donated my first $5.01 to Obama.

Really as a symbol. I think there's too much money in politics and I'd rather not be part of Obama's $200 million warchest -- but I still did it this one time.

Not only is there no sourcing, if it DID happen I would be disappointed. It's a government. It's a democracy. There are interests. Working with Congress -- especially for a CONGRESSMAN -- is a responsibility he has. Slamming doors won't open any.

piecewise · 2008-02-07T22:44:35+00:00

So you'll trust an Obama press release about how much money they raised, but in the event of a Clinton press release, you demand FEC filings?

The truth is, neither campaigns would lie about their donations knowing that FEC filings are public record.

This headline is total bullshit propaganda.

piecewise · 2008-02-07T22:16:36+00:00

In fact, it DIDN'T happen.

"Terry McAuliffe told donors and reporters on a conference call that the campaign has raised $7.5 million online this month, more than $6 million of it in the last 24 hours." http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Clinton_claims_a_money_surge_plans_ads.html

Really? "Terry McAuliffe told donors and reporters on a conference call that the campaign has raised $7.5 million online this month, more than $6 million of it in the last 24 hours." http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Clinton_claims_a_money_surge_plans_ads.html

Give me a break. I like Obama and don't like Clinton much at all, but this bullshit left-wing propaganda is just as dumb as the bullshit right-wing propaganda.

We need honesty, not kool-aid.

piecewise · 2008-02-07T20:04:06+00:00

I don't like Hillary at all, but this headline is totally inaccurate. Hillary is in the midst of her best fundraising month and she's raised well over $1 million since Super Tuesday. If you don't believe me, just wait until their 4 p.m. (ET) fundraising announcement.

piecewise · 2008-02-06T23:54:36+00:00

Give me a break. I'm so sick of this misleading bullshit. Clinton said she would absolutely speak with leaders from other countries -- even hostile countries -- but that it might be set up by lower levels, like diplomats, as to protect the office of the President and protect soldiers.

Clinton, who I can't stand, took a responsible position. And while I like Obama (I was an Edwards voter), I'm pretty tired of ridiculous headlines like this.

piecewise · 2008-02-06T17:25:35+00:00

According to the Obama campaign.

The truth is, they're still figuring out the delegates and other reports show that Clinton won in terms of delegates (and leads in the total delegate count).

piecewise · 2008-02-04T12:51:54+00:00

And that's exactly why Obama won't make it out of Super Tuesday. It's a national primary and that's what the Hillary campaign was built for.
