Relax, it is natural that as a republican you are grasping desperately. After the past 8 years your perspective is not as savvy as you would wish to be, you are not to blame.. probably just tricked into thinking think fox is real news or that limbaugh and levin are intellects.

"McCain has been to Silicon Valley many times"

If I went to walmart frequently would that make me a expert of retail?

And the "Al Gore invented the internet" spoof expired long before you got a computer.

I find it hard to believe that people voting for Obama even really tried to understand what Douglas Holtz-Eakin is talking about.

You people just hate on people for the fun of it.

less government, more private control is what USA does not need at all right now.I wonder if Eakin would repeat this again after the "black Monday" some weeks ago.American experts ruined Russian economy for some 10 years after SU collapsed,convincing our naive commies that real "free market" means no government,only private control.The results were corruption,economic crisis etc.Hope fellows americans at leats learn from our mistakes. And don't vote for McCocaine, for fuck's sake lol

hmmmm interesting question. But I bet Bush can't. The problems start when he tries to say "nuclear". Every time Bush means nuclear it sounds like "newkeelarr" lol

Sooo... McCain is not for Net neutrality?

I agree with you savvyjd...A huge percentage of people don't care about their vote enough too make an educated vote. All you have to do is watch a few of these videos and you are better than most of the people out there.

Any vote is better than no vote.

This whole thing is basically a soap opera.

Although I have too say, Austan Goolsbee is hard to get any high quality information out of.

Are all of you people seriously talking about which candidate is better at siphoning bullshit from the internet? Seriously?

They have spent their lives in service to the political machine and rarely would any of them bother to spend time learning how to use something they don't have a use for in their position.

Come on people, talk about real issues, not petty bullocks!

[savvyjd]

I prefer obama/biden over the mccain/palin ticket but not everyone who comments just blindly ignores what is said. We are obviously watching to see which each candidate has to say.

But, yes, there are some who hate for the fun of it, usually because they believe their position makes more sense.

I am watching all the republican videos before the democrats ones so I'm not prompted to agree with the Dem policies before Repub.

It is patent we are the people trying to get the whole story.

can mccain pronounce "telecommunications"?

[JackRackem]

He's admitted himself he doesn't know how to use the internet.

But he used a radio in the seventies! this man is on top of the cutting edge!

"I don't remember Obama doing anything here that anyone attended."

Search for Obama at Google.
