LIVE DEBATE THREAD

[cake_crumb]

"What is up with the CNN rating dials on the sides (it may only be on the HD feed)? "

I'm watching it on our lousy cable company channel, and would never have known about it until tomorrow if not or an offhand comment by my mother in law, who was getting tured of listening to a bunch of "analysts" and a pair of empty poduind...

Obie says America has lost RESPECT in the last 8 years and he IS SO totally full of cat literbox leavings! I have studies Mideast terrorism for the past 35 years and KNOW that the past 8 years has done nothing but ENHANCE out reputation, while during the Clinton Admin, I spent ...YEARS explaining that WE are not sex predators like our leadrer and it was HARD, It was really TOUGH and even afteer 9/11 I kept telling people that WE are not a reflection of CLINTON and eventually some beleived me. Moe than some/. I always explained th ediverity of ur military...

Obi having a '60s flashback, like he say Wright did, but we should vote for him for havign ht

Obama just said he supports missile defense — but isn’t he on record saying that is one of the programs he would cut??

Yes, he said he would terminate the unworkable missile defense program ... There is a video on youtube somewhere. Just doesn't know what he is talking about here.

[angcat]

He has the TelePrompter it is so obvious. He can't lift his head up. You can tell he is reading from it. Whenever McCain speaks Obambi’s eyes are down reading.

[fightinJAG]

Thanks! I’m taking McCain took it back to him. heh heh

[GeeMoney]

Is it just me, or did Obabma screw up by bringing up that his father is from Kenya? I really wonder how many people really know that. It might make them look further into their Messiah?

I don’t enjoy post-seasons, ever. Remember my first post about being too wussy to watch this freakin’ debate? (Still have the iPod turned way up.) Same applies to the Red Sox. I guess years of having my hopes raised only to be destroyed took their toll. Even 2004 and 2007 haven’t made me sane again.

And now, to avoid going off topic, let me just tell you why McCain has to appeal to a very narrow band of independents, some female tonight: good girlfriend just told me “I don’t think I can vote for someone with a name like Obama”.

When you’ve got people voting on a prez because they do or don’t like their name, appearance is everything. Intellectual debate doesn’t go very far. McCain has to win on both fronts.

Kinda like betting on a horse because the colors are pink.

The junior officer is getting dressed down by his CO, Capt. John S. McCain! It is a beautiful thing!

Blame you? No, I JOIN you in that prayer!

From our lips to God’s ears! Carry forth!

[o-n-money]

When did his father write these letters to the US schools? Did he say the 60s? How old is this guy?

[taraytarah]

Uh Oh. Dreams from Daddy Obama. You’re right....that really is his motivation. Get the guy some therapy before he totally trashes this country.

Leherer gave McCain the last word! Michelle trying to look feminine while out of the closet! They promise to fact check...it’s CNN...well, consider the source

[Enchante]

Here's the beginning of the blowout if only the MSM could be forced to report it - Obama is LYING about his previous position on meeting with leaders of Iran, etc.:

"Asked if the candidates would be willing to meet “with leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela" during their first year in office, Obama immediately said yes and added, “the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous.”

Obambi Said YES that HE as President would meet with "leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela...." during his first year in office

[knyteflyte3]

Obama is going off in some odd direction not related to threat of 9/11 type attack again.

Yup, that's what liberals are good at, and only that, Change the subject when you're in trouble on an issue. McCain beat Obama tonight, hands down.....LOL

[whenigettime]

Cindy’s in red... cool! Michelle’s in pattern... Obama’s gonna lose!!!

You’re right Obama did look down very often.. he was probably boning up on foreign policy since he obviously has NO clue.

[keats5]

I loved that debate format. Now that was a fair exchange and I think it was moderated well. The questions were fair and general, and we really got a chance to hear both guys.

I hope this becomes the new norm.

[Redbob]

"Obama’s talking about investing over the next 10 years.... means HIGH freakin taxation..."

No, when a Dimocrat say's "invest" he means "Increase government spending."

[fightinJAG]

Seems to me he may be trying to assure the black community that he is black. Many in that community were much more shocked to learn that Obambi had a Typical White Person mother than average Americans cared about a Kenyan father.

[angcat]

It's scary that people do not know who Obama is. I find it very frightening that he is actually standing up there and he is so close to ruining our country.

[jacquej]

Oh, yes! His wonderful father, who knocked up a vulnerable girl of 17, when married to someone “over there”.

Great character, his pop! Then he abandoned her for another squeeze. Give me a break!
