[CJR : The Kicker] The Daily Show Eviscerates Santelli and CNBC : CJR: While Stewart's piece on CNBC was both brutal and funny (I will spare overused words like "hilarious" for material that really has me cracking up), I get tired of people lumping Santelli in with the rest of these cheerleaders. I keep hearing things like "scumbags like Santelli keep saying"- it's interesting that they keep saying "like Santelli", while never quoting the man himself!

[Salem-News.com] Op Ed: Force of Facts Destroys Neo-con Myths and Fallacies - Salem ...: With his choice of Sarah Palin ”” the Alaska governor who has advocated drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and does not believe mankind is playing any role in climate change ”” for vice president, John McCain has completed his makeover from the greenest Republican to run for president to just another representative of big oil. Given the fact that Senator McCain deliberately avoided voting on all eight attempts to pass a bill extending the vital tax credits and production subsidies to expand our wind and solar industries, and given his support for lowering the gasoline tax in a reckless giveaway that would only promote more gasoline consumption and intensify our addiction to oil, and given his desire to make more oil-drilling, not innovation around renewable energy, the centerpiece of his energy policy ”” in an effort to mislead voters that support for drilling today would translate into lower prices at the pump today ”” McCain has forfeited any claim to be a green candidate."

[Trailwatch] Obama's Momentum vs. the Clintons' Moxy: WE NEED FACTS, SOLUTIONS AND ANSWERES all there geniuses in mainstream media, cable news, need to summon the courage to tell their audiences about important issues and facts before permitting a public coronation of Obama based on RACE, speeches, momentum or charisma, we need solutions, which seem to be absent from obama. God save us all, Our great but troubled United States needs strong, experienced and principled leadership to restore faith in our government and repair its credibility at home and abroad, and to end the destructive policies that have eroded rights for all americans, women's rights, minorities and civil liberties and increased injustice and inequality in our society.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: Man, maybe I should have voted McCain, Obama has done a horrible job so far, I remember studying Scocialism in school, I guess it is his new government, any President that is putting Billionaires over Military rights and medical attention is a huge failure to me, I am not saying Palin and McCain would be a better choice, but it is hard to see that they could be doing any worse a job then this guy. I appoligze to everyone reading this, for the fact that I help put this man in office, a mistake I will not make again, shame on me, and everyother voter.
