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.

The odd thing is Luntz said McCain won on the economy according to his group, yet lost overall. Well..um....isn’t the economy the most important issue according to the polls? Also, does that mean Obama kicked ass at foreign policy near the end of the debate? lol

Yes, LoL! The Luntz group is a dunce.

Time will tell how this all plays.

There is no such thing as a black undecided voter. They don’t exist. Most undecided folks at these events are Democratic operatives. Didn’t everyone already know that?

How undecideds get around to deciding is anyone’s guess.

I think McCain will win the election. Call me crazy if you will. And I was a Romney man.

Anyway, excuse me while I take the issue up with Someone Who Has Far more experience than I.

I think Frank Luntz is a Republican... I believe Hannity used to refer to him as “Republican pollster Frank Luntz”.

Yes...he's Republican and liberal (a neocon who has advised Bush).

The clueless sliver that apparently decides who gets to be president. It is nice to know that there is a meaningful roll for the village idiot in our society!

Fools Rule!

Dear MCCain, thanks for promising to buy out dumb-ass credit risk losers and refinance the principal of their homes at my expense.

Yes, I’m still pissed at this. The reward for hard work and responsibility: the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I hope you swayed some brain dead morons, McCain, because you disappointed the hell out of me. It was like a sleep-walking contest, and Barry O seemed one notch less asleep than you. Are you really well enough off to take your base for granted? I hope they show more energy going to the polls than you show defending conservatism.

I don’t get to or want to reach across the aisle in the voting booth. I can only choose one name for Pres.

Get lost, no true conservative wanted Mitt Willy.

So you’ve conceded the election? Good, go away, we don’t want you here until after the election at the earliest. We’ll win without you.

There is still time. We have had five battle fronts, the Democrats, the economy, the past eight years that they harp on, Berry's campaign, and most importantly the media.

The media will be in full spin the next few days...do not give up! Considering what we are having to fight, we're not doing too bad.

Remember four years ago they had Kerry winning on election day from exit polls.

Credit. Banks. No regulation, no morals. What happened to the honor of spending what you earn, not owing anyone any money. That reminds me, I have to pay my bills. Is credit unbiblical?

Hi Big

After a week of early voting in Ohio only 5000 people voted. Like everything else coming from Obama and his liberals allies their delusional power is not reflecting in reality and on the ground.

I’m in the middle of teaching American Govt basics to my four elementary aged children (homeschooling family), so the debate tonight was good timing. I clarified all the lies from O’s mouth as the children asked me questions about the topics. When a 10 year old says, “Mommy, is he the one who thinks killing babies is okay?” you know you’re doing a good job. :-)

Last week I had to sit the 3 olders down to explain what homosexuality is — of course, using the Bible as our guide, without getting into the details. Prop 8 here in CA (repealing the Marriage Act to include gays) and the election process made it necessary. They’re thinking and asking great questions. I tell them how “the world” will tell them all kinds of things about how to define families, and whether a woman has the right to kill her baby. I’m teaching them to think for themselves on every level and topic.

Personally, watching the entire debate, I thought McCain did a great job — except when he used the same jargon like “hands across the aisle”, and “maverick”. Obama’s eyeballs are brown in addition to his skin, he’s so full of it. His voice grates on me, and so does his pompous attitude. And I also noticed that he did not answer one single question directly. I also watched carefully at the end, after it was over, in watching each candidate walk through the crowd to greet them while the stupid reporters were giving their take on how it went. I noticed how enthusiastic the majority of them were in wanting to greet McCain — several of the men in the front row actually stood up to shake his hand — but sat down when Obama came around to do the same.

Interesting.....

I know this isn't going to be popular here, but I suggest everyone look at McCain's plan on this. The people have to qualify at 90% of the appraised value and the government gets any proceeds upon sale. I think I have that right, lol. It would weed out the sh*t deals. He hasn't explained it well. Read the plan yourself.

The coroner would recover all 15 bullets from Cindy's body.
