]This election's extra-long election cycle has effected the everyday voter's ability to distinguish the right candidate for them. How can the average American get behind a candidate when all they hear are their shortcomings? A segment of people have become indifferent toward both McCain and Obama.

So I just found out Obama is going to be in terre haute, IN tomorrow (30 minutes away) Anyone local know if all the tickets are gone? I'd call the 509 but it's obviously too late to call tonight.

OK This TDS installment needs to be The Ultimate Obama Campaign Video.

They ROASTED McCain, going WAY further than the Democrats have the balls to go.

Someone convince me the following isn't true:

Obama's raising tax cuts on the rich will hurt the economy more than it will help. The top 5% earners are the ones who own all the companies and hire all the workers. All of these people will raise prices on their products and services to make up for the money they will now be losing to taxes, thereby negating any extra income from the tax cuts proposed for the other 95% of the country.

Nothing will be fixed by taxing the rich and redistributing wealth. Jobs will be lost, not created.

That's the same bullshit nonsense Republicans have been marketing for decades now, and history's clearly shown it to fail. This line alone...

The top 5% earners are the ones who own all the companies and hire all the workers.

...should give you great pause as to its credibility. And as Hitokage pointed out, it makes some very large assumptions that just don't pan out in action. It makes for a good sound bite and little else.

"American" is one of the many words that the GOP feels entitled to define.

I cant fathom a guess as to what will happen under the proposed Obama plan. AFAIK nobody has ever tried that before. Maybe it will be rockin'. Maybe that plan won't make it through congress, who knows. Maybe someone who is more economically educated can answer...

McCains plan I believe is to stay the course and let outsourcing continue? Free markets and all that. I dont really care about any of McCains plans anymore since he put Palin on the ticket and turned this election into a culture war.

Exactly, we don't know because we have no empirical evidence yet.

However, we have plenty of empirical evidence of the "trickle-down" economy not really working. Just like another poster said, the economy was stronger when Clinton was in office and those in the highest earning echelons were taxed more. With Bush and "trickle-down" the Economy has stagnated and unemployment has risen. Sure there are tons of other factors that caused the economy to be strong during the Clinton years and weaker with Bush, but I am pretty certain that taxes was a part of it.

Yes she is. That's Kerry Washington (I think I love my Wife) and she is very hot but this is also why I find Real Time to be unwatchable on occasions. When it turns into a shouting match. Very similar to GAF in that respect.

I can't believe how many people are freaking out that all polls show Obama tied or slightly ahead on one of the big RNC bump days...relax! I wouldn't even be freaked out if McCain were five points up today.

I can't believe the video that TDS made. They really savaged McCain, who was their most-frequent guest. Stewart must be really disappointed in what he'd become. I thought it was hilarious, but... Wow.
