Livethread - Obama, McCain, and Rick Warren

[UFC Pride K1]

Share your thoughts about the Saddleback Civil Forum, which starts at 8:00pm EST..

Will Warren throw softballs on the issue of abortion?

Will he give both candidates free passes?

Will this be an attempt to minimize the lives of the unborn while giving higher priority of less urgent social issues?

[combat_boots]

“high fiving Obama”

Hmmmmmmm. Whaddup wit dat? I wonder what he’ll do with McCain? The Kahlua would be president? Deceptively alcoholic?

[Delphinium]

If someone with a brain in their head were watching, they would see this as an issue.

Hopefully there will many with brains to see that simple fact.

[big'ol_freeper]

I have read that Evangelicals are now leaning left, abandoning pro-life issues for environmental issues...who would have ever thought that would happen?

Re: The American public are not easily fooled. Or are they?

They reelected Clinton, didn't they!

[Always Right]

Obama wants to make the tax code simplier????? Obviously Obama hasn’t read any of his own proposals on his own website.

[TommyJoe]

If your “family” makes less than 150k your middle class or poor, so in that context, why is the poverty level set so low dollar wise?

[Blogger]

Agreed. Warren isn’t agressive. We will see how he treats McCain.

Obama’s answers will stand on their own. Vapid and clueless.

[SLB]

Will Warren throw softballs on the issue of abortion?

Rick Warren has never thrown a hard ball in his life. I wonder when Senator Grassley will add him to Creflow Dollar and others in looking into his finances?

[SandyInSeattle]

Warren didn’t press him.

Rick's allowing him to talk, unfiltered and unguided. He's allowing him to hang himself every time he opens his mouth.

[TommyJoe]

According to the reports about the DNC Bill might get to be the First Boy, LOL

[Always Right]

Did Obama mention what Federal spending he would cut?

No, but if he did it would all revolve around the military.

[combat_boots]

Obama wants to make the tax code simplier?????

Sure. We give all our money to gubmint an' get our paychecks in the mail with whatever the gubmint worker says we should have that week!

[Mike Darancette]

When did Obama work with McCain on campaign reform?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Obama’s answers will stand on their own. Vapid and clueless.

You're really being too kind.

“I’m just glad you didn’t suggest we drink every time he utters an “uhm”

Not Possible.... I can’t drink like I use too.... I just can’t do it Jack...... Obama is already killing me and he is just speaking...... The wine deal is off...

How about every time Jon McCain growls or bristles?

[Blogger]

Warren reportedly lives pretty meagerly. Or at least he did.

[big'ol_freeper]

...Our national disgrace.

"it is a better way to examine candidates IMO."

Agreed!! It's fascinating to watch. My curiosity is getting to me wondering how McCain will answer.

[Huddled Masses]

Unfortunately we are watching feel good “church-lite” ministries across this country and then we wonder why we are even considering “lite-weights” like stinky B.O.

[Crimson Elephant]

Just because it is in print doesn’t make it true.

[Delphinium]

NMow he is trashing Scalia and Clarence Thomas

Showing his true colors.

I am glad, all this should be good for our side, don't you think?

[Glenmerle]

I have read that Evangelicals are now leaning left, abandoning pro-life issues for environmental issues

Yeah, I've heard that too, in the mainstream media, and I don't believe it for one second.

[TommyJoe]

I havn’t heard a good answer yet!

[mimaw]

Rick must be getting rich, he’s certainly piling on the pounds.

[Always Right]

"Not a hard and fast line, always a judgement call."

"If we can work in concert with the international community, then we should act."

[SandyInSeattle]

He’s always fought a weight problem. I’m just glad he stopped slicking his hair back.

[Blogger]

he’s always been fat.

[Porterville]

America and War:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,Bosnia-20,21,22,23,

Conclusion: Dems can go to war and dems war stops at the water edge... Republicans suck.

[Right_in_Virginia]

An emergency plan for international orphans?

[Huddled Masses]

“He cheated on this one”...save that sound bite. Replay it over and over again.

[Blue Highway]

Where did you read this?

[Blogger]

Obama cheated a little by looking at the issue ahead of time? How did he know what issues there would be?

[SandyInSeattle]

he’s always been fat.

Not true. He struggles with it, as many do, but he has not always been fat.

[Always Right]

“Emergency plan for orphans is a great idea. Try to figure out, what we can do. Try to figure out how to prevent orphans.....”

[Bender2]

Re: I havn’t heard a good answer yet!

Parr for the course with nObama.

[TN4Liberty]

“We need to figure out how do we prevent more orphans...”

Conclusion - Obama hates orphans.

To be honest, his was a ridiculous answer.

[Right_in_Virginia]

This lightweight doesn’t have a plan for anything (or at least one he’s willing to admit).

[tucsonslim]

Me thinks the Cat is out of the bag!

[mimaw]

Must be a pro Bush audience. Did you hear the applause Obama got when he gave Bush credit for fighting aides in Africa?

[Huddled Masses]

I caught that too...The Rats just doing their job.

[TigersEye]

The American public are not easily fooled. Or are they?

Easily fooled? I'm afraid a lot are. Easily impressed? Not so much. I don't think he's impressing anybody here.

[BlueAngel]

How should US end religious persecution. Obama says to speak out. Set new norms and creating a universal principle. Huh?

[TommyJoe]

Decibel level of applause on Obamas entrance, so after everybody being bored, what will it be for McCain!

[combat_boots]

“Try to figure out how to prevent orphans.....”

?

Is this where his abortion plank fits in?

[RepublicanArmy]

I thought neither one of them were supposed to have the questions before hand....

[Blogger]

It has been a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time since he has been thin, if so. He hasn’t gotten heavy due to being rich from book sales.

[Porterville]

Orphans: Uhhhhhh.....1-5,6,7,8,9

Religous percicutions:1,2,3,4,China,5,6,7,....8,9,10,11,12,13

Conclusion- China is Killing everyone in the world and Muslims can do what they want.... and we have no religious tolerances in America... Dar Fur... and Saudi Arabia are a okay.

Good question!
