Debate Thread

Posted on 09/26/2008 6:08:58 PM PDT by sociallyunacceptable

How do you think the candidates will do? Obama has been away at Debate Camp all week practicing with a high powered attorney, so I don't think that he will bomb.

Rush was talking about that one day, how he wanted to make sure that nobody could tell where he was from. So he worked on pronouncing words fully. I tried it, didn’t last long, way too hard to do.

I do my little part whenever I can.

I’m a big cheerleader for AMERICA... not cults.

McCain won the foreign policy portion of the debate hands down. Obama won the first two questions, though, because he blamed the financial meltdown on Bush & the GOP (and got away with it), while McCain did nothing but wail against Wall Street and missed the golden opportunity to tie Obama to Fannie Mae, Raines, Johnson, etc.. Still, McCain won the night to anyone other than an Obambi sycophant, which includes most of the media.

Is Juan somehow different from me? Does his hearing or mental cognitive skills rise to a superior level than mine?

Juan is wrong.

is his incessant focus on himself and the “advice” and “warnings” he says that he has been giving to people with years more knowledge and experience than he has on the subject.

That is just what I was thinking.

I must admit I watched it on CBS because FOX News isn’t in High Definition, and I wanted to see the debate in HD. But I turned to Fox immediately afterward, and have it on right now.

You watched an alphabet channel because of its HD? It was a debate for crying out loud not the Victoria Secrets Holiday fashion show.

This was not meant for you. I meant for this to be directed at another poster, who claimed to be a conservative, yet was married to a liberal.

I am sorry about the misunderstanding.

omg, I always think that about Graham too. He’s kind of ... I don’t know... creepy or something “visually”. However, he’s been saying a lot of stuff lately that I WISH we would hear other Repubs saying. He was the only one I heard talk about ACORN funding in the bailout. And just now he had a great spiel about the difference btwn McCain and Obama’s tax plans. Of course, if any of the media would COVER the Repubs press conferences, maybe we’d hear it more. Bass turds.

McCain won, but I don’t think it was a total ass whopping. But I dropped my laptop and managed to break the input on my power supply so that sort of brought down my mood. So maybe I’m being too harsh on him.

Krauthammer: gives Obama the economy questions, McCain owned the foreign policy but feels he didn’t flesh out some statements enough (”Obama isn’t ready” but not giving specifics). Feels Obama is a little ahead debate-wise because the economy topics coming up will be his stronger suit.
