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.

As he should be more knowledgeable. What barry was doing during most of his adult life was trying to find himself and identify himself as “black”.

Read the tagline and burn it into your mind.

It is times like these that I was specifically thinking of when I wrote it down

Bread and circus’s baby!

This whole debate was a distraction for one night..honestly only those who already know who they are voting for watched.

Everyone else is living their lives, watching footbal or baseball, the office...you know regular people stuff...after 20 minutes they all turned it off!!!

It was boring........

WHAT DOES MATTER IS THIS.....THE COUNTRY IS NOT TRUSTING OBAMA...SARAH IS DOING A GOOD JOB....NOW WE HAVE GOT TO OPEN THE CAN ON ODINGA!!!!

SO EVERYONE YOUR MISSION IS TO TALK ABOUT ODINGA....IN KENYA!!

THE GREAT NEWS IS CORSI WAS TAKEN IN CUSTODY IN KENYA FOR TRYING TO DIG UP STUFF ON OBAMA...HE WAS RELEASED TODAY AND SHOULD BE TALKING BY FRIDAY

we still have time to make America...everyone around you question WHO IS OBAMA? DONT GET OFF MESSAGE.

I’m pretty familiar with the WU having ...I hate to admit it now...read Prairie Fire in college and kept up with them over the years and yes...what you say is true

I was about 5 years behind their antics in the early 70s

I’m not sure about the Obama stuff

This debate was rigged worse than Ifell’s. The most important discussion was Fannie Mae and Brokaw has the Black guy axe the question. Why does he have an obvious Barak supporter ask that question. Confounded McCain and completely blew that important part of the discussion.

Brokaw purposely gave that question to a Black guy knowing that McCain could never attack Obummer to one of his supporters. This was journalistic malpractice that he didn’t go back to the most important issue in the campaign and revisit to someone who was undecided.

Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops

He didn’t explain that very well, unfortunately.

Yes, and they plead anyone who is a Republican, please, call, write, fax or something to tell McCain to step it up against the zero.

They want McCain/Palin in 2008.

It’s too bad nobody gave Corsi a wad o’ dough to give to Obama’s brother over there to get him to request Barry’s long-form birth certificate (which can be requested by a family member).

You don't understand. 90% of the people that got those loans think "principle" is the guy you report to when the teacher kicks you out of class.

The sobering reality of real-life outside the confines of the fake lifestyle we fostered in this country is their only hope. Frankly, thats why I’m encouraged by this gargantuan market correction. Conservatism is rooted in reality, though sometimes external forces dilute this truth.

“Just a dreadful debate, I could have done better on my college debate team.”

Agreed. I kept thinking, one of these men is going to lead our country? I even had fantasies about a Guiliani/Romney ticket. How did McCain get here?

No kidding!

To the average undecided voter Obama looked BORING when they expected him to be awesome, while Sarah was STUNNING when they didn’t expect it. I think that’s very good for us.

Corsi did dig up some stuff...so let’s see what he has to say...if nothing, he will still bring up the connection to Odinga, which America is not talking about. When they hear Ayers then Odinga, then ACORN...they will have lost trust in that one.

Also, it throws 0bama off-balance, not knowing which direction Sen. McCain is going. He loses the initiative and is more likely to come across as too aggressive or passive. (or passive-aggressive :-)

My just recently ex-husband used to tell me that anyone that laughs at fart jokes will never get anywhere in life.

So, I guess that I never went anywhere in life. ha
