[Fudd Fan]

Have you been playing the drinking game a little early?

[cake_crumb]

"Chris Wallace just spoke to a McCain debate prepper and he suggests that McCain won’t go after Obama too hard. Nothing like Ayers, Wrights, etc... WTF is he thinking?"

Not much.

[queenkathy]

don’t tell me mccain is gonna let o get away with fixing the blame on the repubs and bush...

[AliVeritas]

Oh no, Al Gore! This is a job for the direct route. My Militant, Victorious, Comeback Jesus, please help Mc tonight (yeah I know, but there's hope for him... that other guy, oh... above my paygrade, alright sir), we are praying for the unborn and your victory over those who choose the banner of socialism (yes Lord, black lib theology too, yes I know it didn't come from you, i'll spread the word). Lord we give to all who need, even before we take care of ourselves or our enemies don't want our help, you taught us that, even if some deny it. Make us strong to speak for the truth and to call out whatever should be, regardless of the source. What? Sure I nag you but... Oh alright, Amen already. Oh, two more things, can you strike the fear of the almighty into Obama later on in his sleep and give me the gift of linkage... not a gift? Hey, it's not like I asked to win the lottery... what was that thunder? Nevermind, sorry I asked.

I’d love a 5 year moratorium on the capital gains tax

[CASchack]

I lost track of Obama’s meanderings. McCain needs to step it up. He’s certainly more plain spoken.

[defconw]

We’ll all end up in the emergency room.

[word_warrior_bob]

I’m a renown troll hunter, I posted that 10 minutes before the debate started, I see unrecognizable screen names attacking me missing the satire I’m always on red alert for trolls.

The thread moved to quick last time to exterminate.

[silent_jonny]

McCain is sounding good. Hitting on taxes (”lets cut taxes for everybody”) and energy independence. He’s speaking about the economy with authority.

[luvie]

Yep...it’s the new DIM mantra! People are gonna be drunk if
they are drinking to that statement! It will be uttered again!

[TomGuy]

Oh Yeah!

Obama is going to give us middle American tax cuts.

Money Money Money!

[What???? No stimulus rebates????? Ahhhh!!!!!]

---

McCain is buying up bad home mortgages. [Dang! I didn’t get one of those!]

[meyer]

Drinking game:

Obama: Bush

McCain: my friends

I can't drink that fast!

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Come on, John, talk about the REAL CAUSE of the housing crisis!!

[Miss Didi]

I’m trying to type with my rosary...

[GOPrincess]

“As prez, he will order Sec of Treasury to buy home loan mortgages and renegotiate the value of homes.”

Ugh...

[Onerom99]

Agree..

First Question:

Obama very vague and general attack on Bush and Capitalism.

McCain answers with some detail and a plan.

[Nichevo]

what’s with alll the bald guys?

[Pharmboy]

So far, he’s reading a script and not going after the lies Hussein put out...

[KeatsforFirstDog]

“whats the ‘drinking’ word? Maverick?
“Wall Street greed”

I vote “middle class,” “Bush”, or “economy,”....depends on how drunk ya wanna get ;)

[humblegunner]

I'm going to count how many times Obama says "the last eight years"...

Once, so far...
