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.

“. . . if Obama gets in, it’s worse than bad, but he won’t have any money to do all the socialist junk he’s proposing . . . “

He would package everything as an ‘investment’. ‘Investing’ in public health care, etc.

Major Garret: Obama plans to save 90 billion a year by not spending it in Iraq, so Obama plans to abandn Iraq. So much for the “reasonable” withdrawal.

Krauthammer says McCain lost on foreign policy?

Ok, this is weird. Krauthammer thinks McCain won this first half of the debate, on the economy, and NOT the second half on foreign policy. ????

Is it just me, or did McCain perhaps blow it all on this proposal to buy up all the bad mortgages?

Does that mean that you, like me, got that sick feeling in your stomach as time after time McCain reminded us that the Republicans did not nominate a conservative?

I noticed the big Black woman with the mad face in the picture whenever McCain was speaking, but never saw her while Obama was speaking and then there was the woman who constantly shook her head no or yes, like Hillary.

Also, I noticed that Michelle Obama looks to be about four or five months pregnant.

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

Funny, that's exactly when I changed the channel.

Sarah Palin has gotta be ticked off. How much longer can she let McCain drag down this ticket?
