Dow Drops Below 10,000 and McCain/Obama Are…

Trading jibes over who has the more questionable associations.  McCain and Obama are on the stump today, making the case for the other’s poor judgment for associating with such lovely figures as William Ayers and Charles Keating.  They use some of flimsiest arguments to stop just short of calling the other corrupt or a terrorist respectively.  Meanwhile, troubles in Europe cause the Dow Jones Industrial Average to drop below 10,000.

Now, that’s not to say I think the two candidate have much sway in this downturn.  Yet, instead of promoting their own plans, or somehow discussing this prolonged crisis (they probably ought to be repeating President Bush’s assurance that the bailout will take a bit to put in place), they decide to turn their attention away from it.

Yet another reason to place in my repetoire of reasons as to why I’m not voting for them next month.

PoliGazette Comments Policy

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
