I think we will get something worse than "The bailout is about Healthcare".

This is going to be funny. The bad thing is Americans love the stupid politician that reminds theirselves of them.

Interesting thing...I've heard that Obama supporters' number one news show is John Stewart, while those supporting McCain follow the mainstream news.

no offense, but this is a really really weak argument.

It is no suprise that John Stewart is watched by college kids who would support Obama. Are you saying us college educated professionals like myself only get my news from John Stewart.

I do watch Cobert, but I read the news, and watch other news.

Republicans somehow feel the need to blast Steven Colbert and John Stewart, when most have never even watched them. When in fact, they are less biast then most Fox news anchors.

Also, Fox news is not mainstream news.

You are more willing to argue against the fact that Sarah Palin not knowing what the Bush Doctorine is, her absurd (and may I say ABSURD) statements to Katie Couric about major issues, and her latest statement of not even being able to tell her what news she reads is very scary for somebody who may be the president of the United States.

Well, maybe not for the few that still support Bush.

also, where did you get that statistic? Is it from one of your "reputable mainstream right-winged news sources" Fox news?

Let me guess, Bill O'reilly told you. He manipulated facts to come up with that so McCain supporters have something to feel proud about after Palin's embarrassing acts on Television.

The rankings of The Daily Show would only make up probably 1% of the number of people who support Obama.

Ainulinale, what THINKING person would actually believe this one? A major problem in this election, IMO, is the alarming number of people/Republicans who believe and repeat items such as this one, that they have "heard" or read but that they have not bothered to verify as true or false. It's like hitting "Forward" on an email without checking out the validity of what it contains. Technology has made it possible for anyone to say anything about anybody and forward it to everybody. I continue to be appalled by the number of misstatements and outright lies the Republican party is espousing, starting with their speeches during their convention and continuing almost daily.

I don't think its a weak argument since your complaining about people voting for McCain/Palin being stupid, when their primary source of news is an actual news network and not a comedy show.

I didn't realize Palin was running for President. Anyway, I'm not too concerned with that. If she has any sense she'll surround herself with a lot of smart people who will essentially control the country...one of the things Bush didn't do; he hired his friends, not the best for the position.

Anyway, Obama is scary enough himself. Say, I think it's okay to euthanize newly born babies if you're abortion went bad! My pastor thinks America and white people are evil...no really? My voting record shows that I'm more liberal than a declared Socialist? Hey just ignore my Marxist connections...that's all in the past.

After looking at your past "Status" comments, ainulinale, I can only assume you are "So very high" again.

I would hope that nobody gets their news from John Stewart. I keep thinking he's aiming his commentary at highschool kids. Colbert is at least funny and very creative and I've liked his work for years.
But worse than either of these is that disaster MSNBC. Chris Matthews is all thats left of a network that whored itself and ran off any semblance of professional media news commentators. Even Matthews hates working there. You have a certified head case like Keith Oberfuehrer, err Olbermann, making a disgrace of the network .
Palin is folksy and down to earth and not an elitist DC insider, so of course she'd be hated and ridiculed by the leftists media as well as the DC power mongers. News flash, 90% of everyday voters would be looked down on by the same elitists who slam Palin.
I've seen nothing to suggest she's anymore "out there" or embarassing than Joe Biden, who clearly is going senile while McCain is just getting old.
If Obama can't pick a decent VP, why attack McCain for picking a better one than Obama? And Obama seems ready to pick a disaster of a cabinet, or a disaster picked for him. Bush 3 anyone?

Republicans are far more likely to have a college education than Democrats.
