McCain hates bloggers, what?
Jul7
Apparently, John McCain hates me and a bunch of my friends, as well. Harsh. And, I was naive enough to think that he wouldn’t even be reading this. This stands in stark contrast to Barack who has a twitter and flickr account. I see little wrong with anyone (well, anyone that can use a computer) being able to voice their own opinion via a blog. Freedom of speech is a founding principle of our country. Now, I am not going to make my voting decision based on the candidate’s acceptance of social media, but I do think that his track record so far on technology is pretty concerning.
Note: It is possible that this quote could have been taken a little out of context. John McCain himself does have a blog. He could have been talking just about political bloggers and pundits. Regardless, McCain needs to be a little more cautious about what he says if he wants to get any younger voters to vote for him in the fall.
What do you think, Mike?

McCain may hate bloggers but he definitely loves adult diapers. That mofo is old.
Not only does Obama (or at least his campaign) have a twitter account they also have their own social network:
