PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD

10/07/08

[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.

Thanks. I’ve enjoyed the forum for almost a decade.

[Gondring]

No, if they all walk away the housing market will correct quicker, people who have been more prudent will find bargains, and we can get on with rebuilding the economy.

But that would encourage responsible behavior...it's so 20th Century! Get with the program!

“Just how has voting for Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush prevented us from getting to this spot? We are here in this spot despite voting for what the Republican Party tossed out to us for the last two decades. Have these votes prevented our borders being overrun? No. Have these votes stopped the socialization of the country? No.”

So far, at least with this Bush Administration, the USA is NOT identified as a MARXIST SOCIALIST nation.

Obama is NOT the Republican nominee. John McCain and Sarah Palin are. These individuals are NOT Marxist Socialists, Obama is a Marxist Socialist!!!

So, what is YOUR point?!

[LadyPilgrim]

Yes! I looked at Luntz for about 7 seconds and it was so lopsided I left. And yes...hill’s site can’t stand the msm either.

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

"Ability to Pay" that's the Goverment Way!

[Walkers]

Not so fast...

rumor has it that obama is a bi-sexual who still smokes dope. if larry sinclair is telling the truth, it will be exposed. if true, there is more than one larry in obama’s life. william ayers is bisexual. see weather underground documentary. obama wanted to pass legislation which would enable Illinois kindergartners to learn about sex.

Weather Underground Documentary, 3 of 9: “I remember one ride from chicago to detroit, in which all 14 or so of us, writhed naked on the floor of the van, while hurling down the interstate, legs, arms, genitals, interlocked with no particular identity attached, a strange truly disconnected feeling...”

Weather Underground was into drugs and orgies as much as they were into bombing the pentagon. These series of 9 videos of the Weather Underground Documentary are graphic and you have to have a youtube account to view them, as they are tagged for adult viewing only. Most of these domestic terrorists are unrepentant and bizarre. They hated being white and white guilt permeates everything they stand for. Ayers is/was bisexual.

“I’m no fan of Clooney’s politics, but he redefines the word “handsome” beyond belief. Are you KIDDING ME that you think Obama is handsome or appealing to a woman? Gross!!!!!!!!! His ears are huge and his head/face are all disproportional! Even Michelle talks about him being “stinky in the morning”!!!

I think he stunk tonite! He’s a fraud. Ask ACORN who they want to win.

[machogirl]

Every time I see you tag line, I laugh.

I guess I’m not cosmopolitan enough.

"Fred said that the setting did not allow John McCain to really go off on Obama about Ayers or the Fanny Mae fiasco because the setting was intimate with real civilians , not like a regular debate were the candidates up on a stage far away from the people."

I agree with Fred completely. There would have been no way McCain could launch an attack on Obama and his cronies in this setting. This is something Sarah Palin can do at her rallies.

[floriduh voter]

McCain did NOT say another 300 bil for the housing crisis. He was just explaining the bill that hardly anyone liked. I arrived late myself but did see posts about his housing answer. McCain was misconstrued. (I was against the bill but we're stuck w/it. McCain isn't proposing more bailouts for bad mortgages.

FYI

[mylife]

Lots of them DO like it. They cant understand that it will lead to failure. Assuredly.

We have failure now but dang it it was the Dem policys that brought it.

[r9etb]

You, Einstein. Actually I think you are an idiot. I was just trying to be polite.

Ah, yes. And thus we meet another know-it-all newbie who can't be bothered to learn the difficult art of adult conversation.

Perhaps you should shut up for a year or two and learn from your betters -- people like BG, for instance, who has amply shown her worth, unlike you, who have simply yapped about it.

This country turned its back on God in the 60’s.

Now look what about to happen.

God is still in control.

America, the chickens are about to roost.

[proudtobeanamerican1]

lol

I have a sister in law there....need some advertising?

[9YearLurker]

They say politics is Hollywood for ugly people, but one good side benefit of McCain naming a truly attractive veep is that it’s stopped all the ridiculous ‘Obama’s so handsome’ talk. She’s raised the scale and he’s now seen as just the average guy he is.

[Arkinsaw]

McCain-Palin is the ONLY ticket standing between a capitalist democracy and a socialist dictatorship...that’s what matters today.

I've been told this every election since Reagan left. But somehow we have steadily moved away from Reagan's vision and become more and more socialistic and more and more flooded with illegal aliens no matter that I voted correctly.

When I helped elect Reagan I actually saw what I voted for happen for the most part. But not since.

I personally think that there is pretty much no major politician standing in the way of a socialist dictatorship in either party. The bailout vote certainly affirmed that.

[3D-JOY]

72 should give us the perspective...”this too shall pass”.

Nobody is running me out! We lived through Clinton’s second term so I can do it again!

[KansasCanadian]

Canada! Darn, those winters are cold! But that free health care will sure come in handy. Hopefully I can find a nice warm street vent to stand over in between visits to the hospital!

Vancouver is beautiful. Sounds like a starting point for my new journey on November 5 lol

[Chaguito]

They are hollering loud that the Republicans better not let us (them) down by not supporting McCain/Palin.

[Walkers]

Clooney is gay but don't believe the rumors he has hiv
