PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD
10/07/08

Posted on 10/07/2008 2:01:24 PM PDT by TornadoAlley3

While the two presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, prepare for their second debate on Oct. 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tom Brokaw gets to sift through questions submitted by you. In addition to queries from a group randomly selected by the Gallup organization, Brokaw will be fielding questions submitted online at mydebates.org, the site created by the Commission on Presidential Debates and Myspace. The focus of the town hall-style debate will be domestic and foreign policy, Brokaw's specialties.

Maybe it’s just me but McCain seems much more sincere, believable, honest, and real.

He seems to be the authentic one.

He must keep using the “rhetoric vs. record” method.

I think it’s working for him.

He has already won this debate.

...worth repeating.

Obama says healthcare is a right

And lots of smiling dingbats in the audience apparently agree.

The socialism oozes from this guy but many folks are ready to lap it up. Disgusting.

I didn’t think Brokaw was allowed to ask follow-ups.
Does anybody else see a stacking of the questions????????

What the heck. Obama just said that health care should be a right. A country this wealthy.... Wealthy? This country is in debt up to its eyebrows. Giving every person government subsidized health care will only increase that debt!

Then vote for Palin.

I would.

Unfortunately, she's on the ticket as a hanger-on.

Is that an enumerated power of the federal govt? Did they amend the Constitution?

Town Hall isn’t the debate forum to be angry.

Obama is arguing for mandatory universal health care.

My mom was arguing with her insurance. Going after “cheating insurance companies....”

Health care for kids IS cheap - we could do that one... and unlike the dems we won’t give billions to trial lawyers to sue doctors.
