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.

Obama smirked and interrupted more in the first debate, and his poll numbers went up.

Unless we are seeing the biggest poll error of all time, I am afraid we are looking at president Obama.

Because he is trying to take away the idea of guilt by association problem.

I wish I could write to Alan and ask him if his mother never told him that “You are known by the friends you keep”. Mine sure did.

“In fact it went on and said there were no limitations as what the feds could do to the loan to insure that foreclosure does not occur.”

So - hubby and I have paid regularly on time.
In fact we get a few extra payments in each year.

I’m wondering - what incentive is there to keep this senseless course of action?

If we really want to save money, we should stop paying - go into default - and then Paulsen will knock $50 g’s off our principal?

To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

He didn’t explain his plan well, what is he talking about is people who are upside down in their houses and if they all walk away our entire economy will tank into a depression. Do I like this? NO!!!!!!! But it was not McCain who made the laws that allowed illegals with no DL or SS numbers to buy houses and people who were making $1000 a month to buy $500K houses on a signature loan. THAT was done by democrats, so if yo uwant more of this mess vote for a democrat. A Third party candidate is not going to win this election. There is two choices: McCain or Maxist Obama..... actually he leans more Neo-Stalinst than Marxist, but you get my drift.

Pssst! little secret. Put a space between the < and the i> like this < i>and it will show up. But when you want to use it the proper way close in the space.

One thing that really irks me is Obama’s constant harping on the $79 billion that Iraq supposedly has as a surplus. (Obviously, it’s evil, because it’s oil money.) Talk about playing the “class envy” card! I’d love to say this to his face:

Look, Obama, you are either a nitwit or irresponsible beyond belief. Regardless of whether or not it was a good idea, we (the U.S.), first through sanctions, and later through the war, broke “it”. (”It” being Iraq’s ability to self-govern, defend itself from Iran, etc.) It is OUR responsibility to do everything we can to fix it. That responsibility ends only when we are successful in that effort, or: The Iraqis spit in our face, or; The Iraqis demand free health care from us!

This is what the "rescue" bill already says...

SEC. 109. FORECLOSURE MITIGATION EFFORTS. (c) CONSENT TO REASONABLE LOAN MODIFICATION REQUESTS.— Upon any request arising under existing investment contracts, the Secretary shall consent, where appropriate, and considering net present value to the taxpayer, to reasonable requests for loss mitigation measures, including term extensions, rate reductions, principal write downs, increases in the proportion of loans within a trust or other structure allowed to be modified, or removal of other limitation on modifications.

What's new?

Robert Gibbs is Obambi’s version of Baghdad Bob. He’s also a pri%$ of epic proportions.

Hannity ripped him a new one.

Hey! Einstein joined the forum!

Yes, tos true. We CAN’T stand the empty suit. He’s a fraud and a fake. He can’t answer questions. He has no plan and his vision always seems to contradict his prior vision. He’s a made up candidate created from youth by the serious Left. And you, mon duce, are what they call a useful idiot! So keep on howling!
