Hussein is still a sneaky Marxist.
There’s nothing more boring than watching two liberals debate each other.
HELL NO!
I am not paying for people who make bad mortgage decisions!
I think McCain was playing it cool. Before he went into a debate format and slammed Obab on Ayers, etc., he wanted to see if the attacks on the campaign trail gain traction or not.
Just my guess. We’ll see what happens now.
I still think that “The One” saying healthcare is “a right” is going to come back and bite him on the ass. Not with the ‘RATS but with the Republicans and Independents.

McQueeg sucked.. Hubby watched the first ten minutes.. saw the mortgage b/s and said “he’s toast”.
Aggravatingly enough.. he’s usually right about this stuff.
Not Breaking News, and Blog pimping is Not Allowed.
Was it just me or did anyone else get the idea that obmama just loves the sound of his own voice. He’d get the mic and go on and on and on about nothing. It was just the sound of his voice going around in circles seemingly never ending. Sooooo boring to me.
91-95% of the conservative base has been locked up thanks to Sarah Palin. Mac had to take the gamble and go for the “mushy middle”.
Personally, I believe McCain’s $300B mortgage bailout about as much as I believe Obama when he says he’ll cut more in the budget then he’ll actually spend. It’s crap speak meant to for the “mushy middle”.I think Mac just got so tired of Obama BS’ing that he decided WTH and came up with this.
McCain hit Obama on taxes, government run health care, fannie/freddie, and national security. Not bad, considering the planted questions (like the one from Ingrid Jackson concerning climate change)
I think McCain did OK with what questions he was handed. He will go after Obama on Obama’s terrorist connections and connections with F&F on the campaign trail and in commercials.
Disappointing and boring. Same same.
The use of the word "tragedy" to describe 9/11 shows that Obama doesn't get it. He doesn't understand what happened, what we're up against today, what we'll be up against ten years from now if we don't act decisively against radical Islam.
Obama and Odinga, Duo of Genocide in Kenya.
Watch the video. It’s 8 minutes long. The first 6 minutes give an excellent overview of Odinga’s bid for President and his socialist background. Obama’s role in Odinga’s candidacy begins at approximately 6:20. It is truly stunning and something that every American voter MUST SEE:
I found myself yelling at McCain to make the point that we need less regulation of private industry, but more regulation of government sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
To me, this was the big thing of the night. Obama was befuddled with his answer. He doesn't have a doctrine.
McCain Doctrine was clear --------Victory Doctrine.
Obama truly lost the debate right there. I couldn't believe that the FoxNewsChannel pundits did not pick up on it.
McCain the phoney is almost as bad as Obama the phoney.
He’s clueless. Conservatives have only two choices:
Forcibly take over the GOP or start over.
McCain is an idiot. We are doomed.
Obama didn’t say one single thing of substance, but McCain seemed to be pulling his punches.
He did try to tie Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac around Obama’s neck — but he said it weakly and onlyonce. He needs to say it more strongly and repeatedly. He pointed out the problems with Fannie and Freddie as early as 2002, tried to do something about them, but was rebuffed by Democrats who fervently defended those two entities. The second largest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac contributions was Barack Obama. Her and his party are a major part of the problem.
He and Sarah are both going at Obama’s false claim that he’ll cut txes for 95 percent of Americans in the wrong way. BO is for repealing the tax cuts of 2001 and for increasing the capital gains tax, among other things. This is an increase in your taxes that far outweighs any cut BO might gie you.
And tehy need to point out his shameful interference in Iraq, urging a slowdown in the wihtdrawal of troops and asking aliki to press for that. Taht is a Logan Act violation. Tie that in with his expressions of support for the war in his 2004 campaign, in which he told the Chicago Sun-times that withdrawing the troops would be “a disaster” and that “my position is about the same as George Bush’s.” Now all of a sudden, he’s against the war just when we’re on the cusp of victory.
Keep repssing energy issues. I would have mentioned that France and Norway get 80 percent of their power from nuclear energy and they store the wastes underground with no apparent ill effects. I would also have expressed support for clean coal, natural gas, and for the Pickens Plan — as long as T. Boone and his investors don’t ask for a gvernment handout to do it. (We should also get rid of the trade barriers against Brazilian sugar ethanol, but I wouldn’t mention that too much.)
He needed to hit BO’s inexperience on foreign policy harder.
And yes, he needed to talk about Ayers, Rezko, Wright, Rahid Khalidi, and so forth — perhaps in connection with Obama being the second largest recipient of Fannie and Freddie money (all of tehm showing his poor judgments in his corrupt friendships. That’s acharacter issue.)
But McCain will never do any of this because he’s too busy showing off how “bipartisan” he is. (Bipartisan — the Democrats and McCain.)
“Genial John” McCain is a wuss. He ran for President as an ego thing. He really doesn’t care that much about winning because when he loses, he will go back to the Senate and work with his “friends across the aisle” pushing for bi-partisan legislation that the Dems like. And the media will once again be his friend and he will bask in his increased place in history as a guy who got the party’s nomination. In other words, he will be another Bob Dole.
Maybe he was an American hero in the Vietnam War, but in this culture war, he is the guy who caused us to lose perhaps the most decisive battle because he didn’t have enough heart and gumption to fight. He sold us out. What a legacy!
