McCain Asks Supporters To Campaign On Blogs
Vote McCain in 2000! writes "McCain is not the stranger to technology some think him to be. McCain is now asking supporters to stump for him on blogs. Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise for this outreach, calling it 'smart' and 'unique.' McCain's blogger outreach section has a handy list of political blogs which might be interested in hearing about McCain, such as the DailyKos, Crooks and Liars, and Think Progress. You can even report your posts to the campaign and 'receive points for your success,' though the page doesn't say what exactly the points are good for." Slashdot is not on their suggested blogs list. Can't imagine why.

/. makes the DailyKos look moderate at times?
Maybe because
Alzeihmer's Disease.
He doesn't remember ANYTHING he says.
Sorry, the only blog space I will be dedicating to John McCain is space to ensure that people know I don't like him.
Another (at least) 4 years of war? No thanks.
Another (at least) 4 years of bad domestic policy? No thanks.
Another (at least) 4 years of homeland spying and deceit? No thanks.
I don't like many politicians that are in the game these days, but I definitely don't like Republicans right now. Not to mention, everyone knows the blogosphere belongs to Ron Paul.
Crackin' Wise - Blogging about whatever we want
Well, voting for the least evil candidate might be an option.
Here are my issues with Obama: experience, corruption, crony earmarks, and dishonest politicking (lies, demagoguery, race baiting, &c.)
Obama likes poor people so much, he wants to make more of them.
No party candidate speaks for me. Basically, I'm in the Jesse Ventura party. That means I have to sit around every election day shaking my head in disbelief.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
Those astroturf marching orders will produce nothing but an invasion of trolls into those Progressive blogs. Which will be smashed to dust and mocked roundly, just like their Troll King, McCain.

My experience has been if you talk negatively or positivly about your candidate, or your candidates opponent you will be marked troll. If you voice an opinion on politics (or global warming) you will be marked troll or flamebait
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.
Lincoln? One of the best presidents ever? Hell he caused a civil war!
force-fed to her hungry little anus. She probably rides her Sybian like a mechanical bull from hell while dreaming of turning his uppity wife into a female cuckold.

Right, because it's the leftists that want us to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Sure it is.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
My only crime was that I was going against conventional slashdot "wisdom." I supported Bush, I supported the war, and I made my opinions clear without stooping to petty insults and name-calling, and I was the one who got temporarily banned. I can't make any statements about everyone else who may have been involved, but I did see at least SOME of the posters who stooped to that level continue posting.
OK, but your opinion was insanely, destructively wrong. Now that you know that the "hive mind" was right to suppress it, does that change your perception of their actions?
"Slashdot is not on their suggested blogs list. Can't imagine why." It does seem odd. Their bloglist seems to contain far-left ideological sites and Slashdot is certainly one of those. Even a discussion of the scarcity of the Wii Fit recently was comprised almost entirely of talk about how Bush=Hitler and Iraq and how America sucks, interspersed only occasionally with posts from people who chose to talk about the topic at hand. I admit to not having read this thread yet, but I bet it's mostly anti-Bush rhetoric - unless it happens to diverge from the usual pattern around here.
Good lord.
An entire post with not one rational thought in it. Good job.
Re that Barack is Muslim: Hillary's people spread that one around. The Republicans had no need to do anything like that; it was too much fun watching all the Democrats fighting amongst themselves. And still fighting.
Re Iraq & 9-11 link: While Iraq/Saddam may have had no direct link to 9/11, there was definately a link between Saddam an al qaida. You can start with a youtube search for "abc news saddam bin laden." Also try looking up Gen Wesley Clark and get his opinion on where Bin Laden would likely run to if his Afghan base were destroyed. Your last sentence is naive and ignorant. Witness Iraq & al Qaida, and Iran & North Korea for starers.
And should I mention Rosie O'Donnel and her ilk (Kos, anyone?) who still think 9/11 was an inside job, and who still think the temperature inside the Trade Center was not hot enough to cause the buildings to collapse?
Slashdot: you'll not find a more wretched collection of villainy and disreputable types...
i>Barack Obama explicitly supports Net Neutrality
Ok.
media decentralization,
Which is stupid.
and universal broadband access.
And stupider.
He supports universal file/data formats ("we will put government data online in universally accessible formats");
And stupider still.
and he understands the inherent risks to privacy created by our new technology
So he wants to regulate it. Gotcha.
And if Obama advocates reducing the NASA budget
He does. Obama cuts NASA budget So by by shuttle, shuttle replacement, and hubble, so some poor kids in cities that chased away all their jobs can get a few crumbs..
Furthermore, Barack Obama's policy regarding technology reflects a thorough and deep understanding of the underlying issues pertinent to technology and information. John McCain will never have any personal involvement in creating a technology policy promulgated by his administration; instead he will rely on his staff,
More spin. John McCain graduated with an engineering degree. Obama is a lawyer. Did Obama ever take an integral? Doubt it. But McCain flew jet aircraft for the US Navy.
Finally, to conclude from the fact that Barack Obama has accepted money from the most consistently-Democratic industrial block in the US that he will necessarily back its most outrageous demands is logically spurious.
Obama is supported by everyone major studio head and the head of every major media company. On his web site he has said, that HE WOULD WORK TO ENSURE AMERICAN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED AROUND THE GLOBE. Period. So, if he's willing to go after the Chinese because they pirate DVDs of software, what do you think he's going to feel about RIAA?
All those rich white kids should pay for music, that's what he's going to say.
This is my sig.
Obama is, by any stretch of the imagination, the most far left candidate that's ever been nominated by a major party. He's not only far to the left of the mainstream of American, he's further left than what the left thinks is the mainstream of America.
He can't run on his legislative accomplishments, because he has none. He was basically in the Senate for 1 year when he started running for President.
He can't run on his voting record or his actual beliefs, because that puts him at odds with the majority of American voters.
What he can run on, however, is the voters beliefs which they then project onto him. In that sense, he's an empty suit. It's brilliantly dishonest. We'll see how long he can pull it off though in a general election.
