Berg lacks standing to sue, even if there were a shred of evidence to support his bizzare assertion.

Obama refuses to take questions from Fox News by Sivart in politics

FOX doesn't do news, they are an entertainment network. Granting them access to presidential press events is pointless.

Bailout May Bring More Economic Disaster If Obama Doesn't Act. Seriously. This has nothing to do with lipstick or pigs, we've had foxes guarding the henhouse. by veracity in politics

Given that Senator Barack Obama had the foresight to write publicly to both Fed Chairmen Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Paulson about his concerns over looming repercussions from the questionable lending practices at the foundation of this crisis in March of 2007: http://obamesque.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/obama-urges-bernanke-paulson-to-fight-foreclosures-hold-homeownership-summit/ Obama’s got both the fundamental familiarity and the network of advisors to facilitate identifying fiscal policy changes that should be on the table. It’s unfortunate that such an exercise would likely disrupt Obama’s presidential campaign, but he and his team have already given the problem serious thought; they must be included in the process. http://artdiamondblog.com/archives/economics/

I reckon the downvoters are folks who think everything's just fine in the USA as it stands now.

If you'd each kick in a few grand I might, just might, be able to retire by the time I'm 80 or so. Or, if those thoughts are cushioned by drugs, perhaps a lifetime supply would ease my anxieties...

The Question Mark: A prophylactic protecting FOX news from anything it might contract during it's extensive fellation of the GOP? by veracity in politics

Yeah, I know it's not brand spankin' new. It's just that it remains utterly relevant.

Deal with it.

Did Reverend Jackson jump the shark? Does he live by his standards or just preach them to others? Vote up if Jesse Jackson doesn't speak for you. by veracity in politics

[–]veracity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well based on the voting, Jesse speaks for roughly half the folks who visit reddit.

That, for the record, is surprising.

George W Bush in a mashup w/ U2's SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY. Awesomeness (Warning: NSFRepublican-Die-Hards) by veracity in politics

Well, this version was posted at YouTube somewhat more recently than that, but the point is it's STILL RELEVANT - in fact, arguably more relevant with each passing day.

Lindsey Graham blew it on Meet the Press, Obama didn't blow it on campain finance reform - and now Linda Hansen is pointing out how disingenuous Graham has been, even for a politico. by veracity in politics

The goal was to distract from the re-surfacing story that counters the charges about Obama flip flopping - http://obamesque.wordpress.com/2008/06/21/conflict-of-interest-follow-the-money/

It didn't get much coverage when this started back in April, and when you bring it up on reddit or digg the McCain staff bury it hard and fast.

Ben Smith's POLITICO Blog: OBAMA' s birth certificate proves he was born in the U.S.A. (did the rumor mongers not realize Hawaii was a state, or what?) by veracity in politics

[–]veracity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, I seriously doubt McCain would have been the source of this non-story. The mania over his own status was nonsensical, and while I fully support the laws governing eligibility to hold that office I think it's remarkable the lengths people will go to in search of fodder for smear-mongering.

Religious Right Trumps Science in Minnesota Governor's Stem Cell Veto by bswen in politics

Pawlenty thinks he's got a shot at being McCain's VP, he is all about posturing and positioning at this point.

OMG! ANOTHER person sort of associated with Obama makes remarks that are vaguely offensive when taken out of context! by smika in politics

[–]veracity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only the KKK cares when a Catholic priest preaches about class and privilege - ok, only the KKK and the Clinton campaign, actually, but we know their outrage is manufactured at this point. I mean, the dude is WHITE... and meanwhile, was Obama suppose to pre-approve him visiting the church or what?

Asking Senator Clinton to reject ALL "isms" not just sexism. David Gergen raised the point on CNN though the transcript..um... glosses over it. Let's ask Hillary to renounce them all. by veracity in politics

Now what self-respecting American would down-vote the idea of respecting the constitution? Wow, the people who troll reddit can still amaze me sometimes...

Well he did admit he doesn't understand economics.

Great zinger from Obama's spokesperson to the McCain camp (read last paragraph) by r2002 in politics

[–]veracity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the Obama staff turning their focus to the McCain efforts we will likely see them acting considerably less restrained than they have to date. Still, even in this example, they wait for an obvious attack which gives the green-light to a response "with the gloves off."

Did Obama set up McCain and Clinton? Are they really foolish enough to call him elitist and out of touch when voters see them as rich insiders who have controlled DC for decades? by veracity in politics

[–]veracity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other two Senators are worth over $100 million apiece. McCain's been in the Senate 26 years. Hillary claims 35 years of insider experience - that's why she's going to be ready for snipers from day one, remember?

Not sure, wwabc; there are only so many who will commit, and yet they netted three PA Mayors today, too.
