    If you are going to post something, check your grammar. Should be “than with that other guy”. I guess you already started drinking early.

  2. Ceefax says:

    Who was that other guy anyway? Joe…. John… John something?

    • n8 says:

      I was impressed that Obama didn’t bring up McCain even once in his infomercial last night. Obama spent his time talking about the problems we face and how he plans to tackle them. McCain just spends all his time talking about Obama.

      • BeukendaalMason says:

        Well the reason McCain talks about Obama so much might be because it seems to be the most effective. It might also have to do with the fact that Obama is outspending McCain almost 10 to 1 in advertising (interestingly only 25% of that money is from Obama’s highly touted “small contributers”). It looks like Obama has already caused change…changing the Democrat party into the Republican party… I really wish voting for Will Rogers would be useful.

        • n8 says:

          You can look at McCain’s numbers and still think anything he’s done is “effective?” Maybe McCain should have devoted his energies towards coming up with a coherent message, or platform, or at least one or two actual policies. Given the choice between the guy with ideas and the guy with a bunch of anger, I’m going with the idea guy.

          • BeukendaalMason says:

            Actually McCain has brought out ideas. Some were panned as being bad (mortgage buy out). Good ideas are only as good as how you can implement them. McCain had a great idea in the anti-torture bill… but then other Republicans got a hold of it and wrecked it. Obama also has some bad ideas also. Obama has also been able to spend over $600 million to convey his ideas, unlike McCain who has only spent about $80 million. You would think if Obama had such GREAT ideas and ALL that money to spend he would be leading by more than a few points, especially since McCain “should have devoted his energies towards coming up with coherent message, or platform, or at least one or two actual policies”.

        lying Obama plant
        you “dude” gunna lose

      • nk says:

        Yeah I liked the 30 minute commercial that cut into the world series game.. I love how that obese family he interviewed was so poor that they couldnt ‘afford’ to have snacks anymore. Oh and the woman with the beautiful, long artificial nails could not decide if she could ‘afford’ a whole gallon of milk or a half gallon. Not to knock on Obama.. but lets face it, he is not going to take care of our problems. We are the problem. He is not going to make the middle class rich.

        • minerva146 says:

          The game didn’t start until 8:30, it only cut into the pre-game. Not everyone is obese from overeating. Also, who are you to say they haven’t been losing weight due to their food regimen being cut back? I don’t recall them mentioning snacks at all, just about being able to go out to eat. Maybe the woman is a hand model or something, or maybe she does have screwed up priorities. You have a problem with people appearing clean and neat? That doesn’t mean her family isn’t hurting.

          “We are the problem” So you’re on board with the “nation of whiners” thing? Clearly you’ve not faced hardship. Nobody is asking for the middle class to be made rich. All anybody wants is the opportunity to live the American dream. People can’t do that without healthcare, or food for their families. You are very good at repeating McCain’s talking points. Maybe we should call you Joe the Plumber. He’ll be voting against his own best interests.

          • froofrou says:

            I think he was pointing out that true poverty doesn’t look like what was shown on tv last night. It sure doesn’t wear manicured nails or complain that the kids don’t have snacks for the week while standing in front of a packed out refrigerator. And if you’re worried about being able to afford a gallon of milk versus a half a gallon, I think maybe you should cut back on the sodas that you’re buying that cost more than the milk. Water is free.
            -
            It was a weird anachronistic ad last night.

            • minerva146 says:

              He was referring to the middle class, not people in poverty. However, people in the middle class are slipping closer and closer towards poverty all the time. In the very least, they can’t continue the lifestyle they’ve had for years, through no fault of their own. e.g. My husband and I keep making less every year the last few years instead of more. Why? The cost of the benefits we get through his work has increased more than the amount of his raise, and he can no longer get the overtime he used to because they don’t have the budget for it. We don’t always stretch so thin, but we’ve had weeks where we’re down to our last 20 bucks and have to live on ramen and mac&cheese. I have a bachelors degree, but can’t get a good job, so I am under-employed. That’s a stat I’d like to see! (The number of people who are working, but not to their experience/education level, and how much this has increased in the last 8 years. I know a lot of people in similar situations) My hubby That’s the point. People have to sacrifice some weeks over small things, when all they are trying to do is live life the way they’ve always done. That’s becoming increasingly difficult. The middle class need a break. They are the foundation of our economy, so if the middle class fails, and slides into poverty, the whole system tumbles.

              Unfortunately because of where I live I didn’t get to see it. I’m living it vicariously through y’all though!

    • ck says:

      That other one.

  3. Me says:

    Obama comes off as someone who would babble on about ‘social inequity’ when drunk, rather than have a good time.

  4. Craig says:

    This was a horrible caption. Someone re-caption it quick!

    • Confoozled says:

      I agree. They might as well have written: “Obama: I like him.” Then they may have been able to spell it right.

  5. Whistler says:

    That caption is damn right! (apart from the typo, but w/e)

    Vote Obama!

    • Boo Kitty says:

      Yeah! Vote Obama! He’ll give me other people’s money!

      They have too much.
      They don’t deserve it.
      They don’t need it.
      I’ve been oppressed.
      I haven’t had all their opportunities.
      The system has kept me down.
      It’s only fair.

      • sally says:

        It’s not a new idea, ffs.
        Your $ is being “redistributed” as we type.
        It’s just that the rich have always been able to get around paying their fair share.
        Stopping that would free up lot of money for things that are needed-
        not all “welfare” type programs are for the lazy.

        (argh!)

      • Yeee says:

        Now you’re getting it!

        • Miner says:

          And Joe Biden recently announced that the tax cuts will only affect those who earn “Under $150,000 a year”- it’s already coming down and will get much lower !

          • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

            Please provide the source for this “Lowering” of the number? From beginning
            to end Ive only hear 250K… but somehow republicans keep hearing different
            numbers…

            • froofrou says:

              The only source I have (not linked in my name yet) is audio played on Rush. Will you accept that? I’ve heard the numbers go up and down too, but am not enough of a troll to point it out :-)

      • Charlie Foxtrot says:

        Actually, he wants to give me my own money back. It’s mcCain and the GOP who want to take our money and give it to the rich bastards, who got rich because of the money we spent to develop the infrastructure that they took advantage of to get rich.

        I ain’t eating no cake…bring back the guillotine!

    ‘I WILL HAVE TO PUT ASIDE MY HATRED’

    OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

    From Sunday’s televised ‘Meet the Press’ Senator Obama was asked about his
    stance on the American Flag…

    Obama Explains National Anthem Stance

    Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST

    General Bill Ginn USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow
    protocol when the National Anthem is played.

    The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States
    Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171… During rendition of the national
    anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are
    expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the
    heart. At the very least, ‘Stand and Face It.’

    Senator Obama, live on Sunday, states, ‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I
    don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,’ Obama said. ‘There are a lot
    of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.
    And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs
    bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial
    and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’
    If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.

    ‘We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign
    our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if
    elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East
    Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as
    the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
    mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will
    seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at
    war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive
    thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair
    injustice. My wife disrespects the flag for many personal reasons.
    Together, she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the
    past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine’.

    ‘Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the
    United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring
    CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and
    I look forward to becoming our Country’s First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is
    about to overwhelm the United States of America.’

    Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our
    next President.

    I, for one, am speechless.

    • froofrou says:

      Can you post a link to that? It doesn’t seem real for some reason.

    • ck says:

      LOL, this story is a complete and total lie. Obama wasn’t even on MtP on Sept 7. So pathetic that you have to resort to this.

      • froofrou says:

        I didn’t think Obama would be that stupid. He’s too good of a politician for that. That’s why I asked for a link. I think we can safely say that ohno is a complete troll and more than likely someone’s sock to boot. *sigh* Some members of my party really make me sad.

        • ck says:

          The story is as real as the one in my link.

        • Seth says:

          Wait. You don’t ‘think Obama would be that stupid?’ That implies he really believes that but is too smart to say it. How about ‘I don’t think Obama believes any of that, he loves his country.’

          • froofrou says:

            My beliefs on what Obama actually thinks fall squarely into the ‘right wing nut’ part of my brain, so I’ll refrain from posting them here :-) It’s all opinion, but I do have some proof that you guys will dismiss outright.
            -
            Having said that, I think that Obama is a politician in the same eschelon (sp? it’s early) as Clinton. And Clintion is probably the best politician I have ever seen in my life.

            • Seth says:

              Froofrou, Obama does not hate America. He and John McCain both love their country and want what’s best for it. They have different ideas about what’s best, but I would never impugn McCain’s patriotism, nor insinuate that he secretly hates his country.

          • I think at this point, I will accept the compliment from froofrou. I don’t think I can honestly change her mind, perhaps her religion, but not her mind. I just need the right flogger and time. ;)

        • lowly grunt says:

          I suspect that ohno is actually EP.

          konspirasee let me show u it

    • Seth says:

      Please do not repeat debunked hoaxes. All it takes is a quick check at the Washington Post to show they do not have a Dale Lindsborg working there, they have heard of this hoax, and they say obviously this was never published, we don’t even HAVE a Dale Lindsborg working for us.

    • Ceefax says:

      Maybe you should check snopes before posting satire as fact and then you wouldn’t look like such a clueless crotch waffle.

    • ohno says:

      yeah it was only a email, I don’t know what a “troll” is, I’m not a member of either party, but I lean to the Conservative of old, the current Republican Party is almost as lost as the Democratic..

      I just passed something there quickly cuz I don’t trust this slick machine that produced a candidate better than the produced Clinton’s.

      Srry folks, I’ll stick up a better copy and paste, if I do anymore.

      • Ceefax says:

        You don’t trust the “slick machine” so you mindlessly forward and paste email chains without checking if they’re flat out lies?

        • ema says:

          He already apologized, what’s the point of continued harrassment?

        • ohno says:

          ya. doesn’t anyone think some of the premise of the article is true though? Ideas already laid out by the Obama’s history, but someone’s compiling it into a bogus email?
          Everyone here accepts an inflated caricature of political personalities, especially of the ‘other’ team.

          • Seth says:

            No. None of the premise of the article is true. The idea that Obama hates America is just as ludicrous as the idea the McCain hates it. Lets try to stay out of the gutter, m’kay? Both candidates are patriots, both want to do what’s best for America, they just have different ideas. Here’s a thought, instead of debating the merits of the candidates themselves, how about we talk about their ideas, and why we agree or disagree with them?

    I just like the priorities of the people in the picture. They are standing next to the probable future president of the united states, and they are staring at the pintrather than him.

  9. Rory McCarthy says:

    That whole comment by ohno worries me. Ofc, Obama didn’t say any of that, but it just worries me that people exist that make up that kind of stuff, and that there could also possibly be a large number of people willing to believe it.

    • ck says:

      People also believe that Obama is a Muslim, an Arab, not a citizen of the US, a Black Power leader in disguise that will kill whitey once in power, a terrorist leader in disguise that will kill everyone once in power, someone who has tupperware parties with active terrorists, a baby eater, the anti-Christ, the next Hitler, the next Lenin, the next Marx, the next Stalin, and/or the next Saddam. No trufax will convince them otherwise.

    That other guy… I’d rather have him for president

  15. Shepard says:

    This picture would have been better using kool-aid considering all the brain washed Obama kool-aid drinkers on this website.

    • ck says:

      But those McCain supporters aren’t brainwashed, no sirree. LOL.

      • Shepard says:

        McCain supporters have nothing to do with the massive amounts of people brainwashed by Obama into thinking he’s going to “change” anything. The only thing he’s going to change if he puts his tax/welfare plan into place is the size of the deficit and debt; the very thing many Obama supporters criticize Bush for….

        • Seth says:

          We are on the left hand side of the Laffer curve, according to recent studies raising taxes will actually raise Federal revenue, even accounting for any possible slowdown in the economy that raising taxes will create. So no, the deficit will not grow nearly as much under Obama’s plan as it did under Bush.

          Nobody has been brainwashed. You are only saying that to discredit your opponents. All you are proving is that you have no rational arguments and must resort to insults. When you try to discount the intelligence of over half the country, you reveal yourself to be a small minded person.

          • Shepard says:

            You accuse me of not having a rational arguement but all you can offer as a rebuttal is “a recent study” saying we’re on the left hand side of the Laffer curve. Whoa! Don’t overwhelm me with facts. My small mind can’t take it.

            Even your boy Obama has said he’s not going to rescind the Bush tax cuts on the “wealthy” since it would furthur damage the economy. I guess you better send him a memo about the recent study

            • lowly grunt says:

              He isn’t going to rescind? I missed that. I heard him say the exact opposite.

              Do you make more than 250K? That must be why you are squealing.

              • Shepard says:

                Yes, he said he would not rescind the tax cuts.

                http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/sep2008/obam-s09.shtml

                No, I do not make more than $250k. I would actually get about $1000 tax cut under Obaba,. However, I am smart enough to realize that taxing the rich in a down economy is not going to do anything other than increase our deficit and debt and drag out the recession.

                • Seth says:

                  Read the article. It does not say what you claim it does. And it is from the World Socialist Web Site. They are trying to show that Obama is not a socialist (which he most certainly isn’t!) and will not follow through with his promises to rescind the tax cuts. But the quotes they use only support the speculation that he might not, he does not come out and say that. Also, he has since clarified that he will rescind the tax cuts. Again, you fail to make your point.

                  The point of greatest revenue on the Laffer curve comes at the 65%
                  marginal tax rate, so raising taxes higher than that will be detrimental. But we are nowhere near the optimal tax rate. I posted a study showing that even considering the possibility that a tax hike will slow the economy, the Government will take in less revenue by lowering taxes at this point.

              • Shepard says:

                Since my comment won’t go through… again…. click my name to visit the link where he says he’s not going to rescind the tax cuts.

              • Shepard says:

                Also, as much as I’d like to, I do not make more than $250k. I would actually save $1000 on my income taxes but I’m smart enough to realize that any increase in taxes on businesses will trickle down to those getting the cuts which negates even getting them in the first place.

                • Ceefax says:

                  “any increase in taxes on businesses will trickle down to those getting the cuts which negates even getting them in the first place.”

                  Well then Obama’s plan is not really wealth distribution and you can all stop calling him a socialist then.

                  • Shepard says:

                    I never called him a socialist but that doesn’t change the fact that it is wealth distribution. Welfare = wealth distribution. Taking money from one person who pays into the system and giving it to another who does not is redistributing that first persons wealth.

                    • Seth says:

                      Are you talking about what the Republican states do to the
                      Democratic states? Most Republican states take more in Federal assistance than they pay in Federal taxes. Lets stop providing welfare to the states that can’t take care of themselves. Why should New York and California get $0.79 per dollar paid in taxes, when states like Alaska get $1.87?

                      Click my name for the non-profit, non-partisan Tax Foundation study that shows the Republicans are fiscally irresponsible welfare queens who won’t take responsibility for themselves. Why should I have to pay for lazy Republican slackers who take more than they give? I’ll start taking you guys seriously as soon as you start putting your money where your mouth is. Until then, you guys are just a bunch of whiny hypocrites who accuse everyone else of doing the very things you all do.

                      • froofrou says:

                        Republican states like mine who have a huge overwhelming population of lazy Dems (at least, who wear Obama shirts and scream about how the Repubs have screwed them over) who take said welfare but never go vote.
                        -
                        At least, that’s what I see from where I am.

                        • Seth says:

                          For your statement to make sense, we need to postulate that all Republican states have tons of Democrats who don’t vote and are on welfare. That simply does not make sense. No, what we have here is a plain old pork-fest, with Republicans first at the trough. You can argue with statistics and try to spin it all you like, but I kinda, sorta think maybe you are seeing what you want to see and ignoring what you don’t want to see.

                          In any case, it is a problem inherent in our political structure, not in any one party. Small states have too much power. It’s coincidence that those states happen to be mostly Republican right now.

                        • froofrou says:

                          I’m admitting that I only see a small part of the whole.

                        • cobrajoe says:

                          Exactly. There is much more that affects how much a state takes rather than political affiliation.
                          Example: in the article, CA was one of the ten lowest, but wasn’t the Governator asking for a $7bil bailout for his own state? I’d bet that would skew the stats a bit.

                      • Shepard says:

                        I’ll have to read it fully when I get home from work this evening but just glancing over the last section about expenditures by state, it says direct payments to individuals is mostly evenly spread across the country. I fail to see the point you’re trying to make.

                        • Maxwell Silverhammer says:

                          You just said mostly evenly.. meaning, they’re not evenly spread.
                          Thats his point.

                    • Ceefax says:

                      But you’re just saying that so-called ‘welfare’ (I like how tax cuts are welfare now) is negated anyway, so what’s the problem?

                    • Ceefax says:

                      Here’s an idea, when you get your tax cut write a cheque to Microsoft, Walmart or somewhere. You can do it, fight socialism!

            • Seth says:

              Click my name to read the study I mentioned. And I stand by my comment, small minded people insult others rather than refute their arguments.

          • Shepard says:

    A good example of this sites political leanings. This one is completely idiotic, even the grammar is wrong, and yet it gets to the front page because it makes obama look good.

    Stupid, it’s just stupid.

    So, when do we get some captions that are funny?

  18. Joe says:

    Well, I hope I have enough change to buy a beer next year, if he gets elected.

  19. pittypat says:

    Fox News smears
    Palin can’t think
    JM sneers
    You might as well drink

    How the hell do you make that typo, the two keys are pretty far from each other. If it was an M or a B, I would understand, but a T?

  21. Lolnathan says:

    Hmm… who else got elected because Americans would rather have a beer with him? Let’s think about that for a moment.

  22. K says:

    “that other guy” is William Carter!

  23. ricardo says:

    you misspelled it dumbass!!!!

  24. wundawomun says:

    I actually would’ve lol’d if this was the caption.

  25. ck says:

    Dude, did you just quote the exact fake Onion article I posted earlier and try to pass it off as truthiness?

  26. “My old age and creeping senility, coupled with my ungodly lust for little jewish boys would definitely make me an awkward president. I still have issues with incontinence and spontaneous masturbation which would make any kind of negotiation difficult at best.” McCain said with his hand creeping into his pants before his haggard wife patted his arm to remind him he was in public.

    “The economy I am even less sure of. I have advisors but I tend to tune them out as I replay showtunes and clips of Top Gun in my head while I mentally undress Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise. God that is hot… Wait, where am I? Oh yes, the economy….” It was then they realized that McCain had fallen asleep. When shaken, he woke up and swore in Vietnamese. Then his eyes refocused and he blurted out.

    “Just remember, I’m a maverick who was tortured. I still get chills from being tied up. Make sure to get out and vote on the 4th. Now somebody tell Palin to meet me in my office and bring a Viagra and Chapstick.” With an odd smile he left with Cindy forcing an exasperated grin and then leaving to get another shot of Bourbon and Vicodin. Palin blushed, rambled for a bit and then left, applying her chapstick.

    HAVE YOU SEEN DEEP BLUE SEA? A MOTHERF*CKIN SHARK ATE ME!

  28. Maxwell Silverhammer says:

    Dude.. I laughed so hard I actually for the first time in my life had to go pee.

  29. n8 says:

    That post was made of 100% pure victory. Kudos, DWN!

  30. Maxwell Silverhammer says:

    And to clarify… had to pee from laughing… not peeing for the first time in my life…

  31. I am honored to have forced your bladder… >_>
    <_<

    In bed.

  32. minerva146 says:

    And I was all set to congratulate you!!

  33. Maxwell Silverhammer says:

    Depends.. good enough for me and McCain!
    (McCain is old lol… GET IT!?)

  34. For the sake of humor, I resisted my civilized instinct to not stoop to his level as they say not to argue with stupidity since they will bring you to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Little did he know, I am a very experienced idiot…
