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.

“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.”

I understand. But, here’s where I’m coming from.
Electing Obama definitely means SOCIALISM.
Election of McCain-Palin means to me a possibility of a repeale of the $810 Economic Rescue Bill and staving off REAL Marxist Socialism at least for the next 4 years!

BTW. I was talking to a coworker today and he Has a friend that is involved in missionary work in Kenya.

They set up a trade school to educate folks so they could become self sufficient.

Guess who is a student?

George Obama. Thats right, he is learning auto mechanics on the back of one of those right wing religious outfits.

Mean while Barack lets him live in a hut with no assistance

Yes. His closing was inspiring. I've never been a McCain fan, but I do know he loves this country. We just disagree on both the diagnosis and treatment plan. Ha. Ha.

But, I recognize that McCain is our only option. He will likely nominate three Supreme Court Justices. And Obama court nominees, along with increased terrorism (here and abroad)would change life here beyond recognition. So McCain/Palin!!!

“Wow. CNN’s Soladad just asked her focus group who they would vote for right now. 14 said McCain. 11 said Obama.”

I was discouraged by the feedback from the debate. CNN’s focus group had 10 registered Republicans, 9 registered Democrats, and 4 Independents. They gave Obama high ratings both on their dial testing and in questions like, “Who do you think will do a better job on the economy?” (from memory, not an exact quote).

Yet when asked who they would vote for, it was McCain! I'm feeling a lot better. I should sleep better tonight.

MSM a dishonorable group. McCain and Palin can start bombing Obama tomorrow with Ayers, and Fannie and Freddie.

Quite an election, isn’t it, when you end up agreeing w/your political foes...

OTHER THAN THE BIG ZEEEERO, of course!

Everyone else is living their lives, watching footbal or baseball, the office...you know regular people stuff..

I suppose your right. McCain needs to rev up the swift boats. I doubt Corsi will get MSM coverage. I certainly hope he does.

ACORN raided in Las Vegas. Lots of Obomba votes. There were caucuses in Vegas Hilary should have won. The PUMA’s probably know what happened in Vegas. Obama’s a thief.

My understanding is that he indeed did have a $1000 check for Obama's half-brother.

These people will eat their own for a big story!

Freeper and Rush, Hannity will help Sarah!!! but we need to get her to talk about it....so lets all stay committed to send out the emails....keep sending them.

We will win for the country...because really this is an election against BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!

I love FR but it didn't use to be full of wimps, whiners, and backstreet drivers....

Agreed. Some of the best posters here were (inexplicably, IMO) banned around/after the 2006 elections and I never understood it. The general discourse has gone south since.

Maybe Obama is in trouble with the Jewish vote so the shill accuses Hannity of being an anti-semite to get Jewish votes back. Camp Obama does and says everything for an express purpose.

Joe Lieberman, God luv 'em for being for McCain.

"After her diagnosis, Ms. Soetoro spent the last months of her life in Hawaii, near her mother. (Her father had died.) Mr. Obama has recalled talking with her in her hospital bed."

He must have talked with her over the phone then, because I recall him saying his biggest regret was that he wasn't there with his mother when she passed away.

And that intrigues me because there is something in their response that the MSM is missing and could be a real factor when people pull the lever on Nov 4th.
