The problem is he’s right about Krauthammer. He’s pro abortion and embryonic stem cell research, and he’s against the death penalty. He’s a big time liberal on domestic issues.

Yes, I’m hoping FR will still be around in 2012.

Will you be the FR posting frequency monitor in an Obama administration?

Boycott Faux

Honestly, why do they shoot themselves in the foot this way?! Libs don't watch them anyway, so why tick off their moderate/conservative base??? They deserve any plunge in ratings that they experience after this garbage.

On the bright side (for me anyway), they just had on Susan Estrich. Her Jimminy Glick voice absolutely cracks me up!!

Exactly!

Boycott Fox.

The ones saying they are the best we have and that we should stay with them for that reason only are going to find themselves getting hotter and hotter as that water keeps warming up.

“I want some fool to explain to me how when clinton left office there were budget surpluses with a 5 trillion doallar deficit? “

Great question!

What a huge inconsistency.

He must be talking about only one year, but it’s awfully disingenuous.

Is he saying he can have a surplus with his ridiculous budget?

LOL! He didn’t say nothing. Susan Estrich now. Yikes!

When watching these pundants - remember - The eyes are the key to the soul.

In my opinion, the democrats are scared. Their words and their souls don't match.

Has any one else noticed that? Am I the only one who sees the opposite of what we're seeing in the news?

Yeah, I noticed it too! Mentioned it to my mother.

I don't like to use profanity around mom even though I'm a grown 43 yrs old, but I just couldn't help but to call him a POS!

Like it would've killed him to well wish Mrs. Reagan? Rats are just scum.

He won outright. The networks are smoothing this over. I don’t know why but that crazy segment of the population is going to freak-out Nov. 5th.

I’m sorry but I have to ask. What do natural consequences have to do with watching Hannity on TV?

“I quit watching FOX years ago.”

“Then what in the hell do you watch? Granted the panel was full of crap, but there is no other alternative.”

My 2 cents worth:

NBC seemed to be slightly tilted toward McCain winning the debate. Granted, I “left” after the 1stg few minutes of commentary. (I don’t get Fox News and the local Fox outlet had the baseball game on.)

I am proud to say I am voting for MCCAIN! He did a hell of a job tonight...I know this because I would be depressed otherwise. He took it to Senator Government! True leadership and smart debating!

Bill Sammon just got hired by FNC full time. He’s deputy Washington managing editor, so I think that puts him right under Brit Hume. Hopefully, that means he takes over at Brit’s retirement.

McCain did his best. Obama fell down but got back up. No knockouts. I've heard some analysts say McCain won this debate with his'Joe the Plummer' example. I believe Obama made his best points on health care.

We have already committed up to $ 2.5 Trillion on bailing out the banks. Everyone pretty much agrees the greedy bankers caused the financial crisis. The biggest, most wealthy crooks get bailed out. They all get a free ride. But people are still losing their homes. Unpaid catastrophic medical bills are a primary cause of bankruptcy and foreclosure.

I'm just asking a question: 'What wrong with spending $ 20 Billion to assure all Americans will get health care _______________________ ?

In my view, McCain's tax credit idea is a non-starter. If Obama wins, you can blame universal health care. Ordinary American are livid with rage over banker bailouts and they want something in return.

RE: “It doesn’t matter. Obama brushes off his marxist associations and he is cool. Obama lies about the Baby Born Alive Act and he is debonair. He bullshits his way through SCOTUS justices and he is suave. The election is over.

Don’t believe me? Ask the Fox panel and the Luntz “independent” focus assholes.”

AGREE, NOTHING MATTERS when it comes to Obama. He is the little king, the annointed one who can do no wrong.

Around here in L.A., his fan club consists of a few specific groups: 99.9% of the black community; life-long middle-road Dems who refuse to listen to the truth about the Zero; all the white leftist/”progressive” types including many American born Jews and entertainment industry crowd; and students/youth of all ethnic/income groups. That’s a lot of potential voters.

Then there’s the rest of us — not that many left over, really. Multiply this dynamic by cities all over the country. The red states are growing fewer — what can we do? I’m voting McCain regardless — maybe I’ll feel better.

Well, I’m no spring chicken — was around for Kennedy’s administration (albeit in elementary school) - and I text message all the time on my Blackberry. Geraldine is a little out of touch.

Dick Morris is right on. He called the other debates correctly. I like Dick and I am glad he is around to give an honest look at the debate!

Mark Steyn at NRO’s The Corner suggested a series of “Joe the Plumber-meets-Senator Government ads.”

I think that’s inspired.

People are suggesting using the “Bob the Builder” theme song as a guide:

Joe the Plumber!
Can we tax him?
…Yes, we can!

I just sent an email suggesting a different tact:

Spoofing the Mac vs. PC commercials.

Given the popularity of that ad campaign, don’t you guys think that would resonate more than “Bob the Builder”?

Or am I off base?

LOL

No you’re not. Same with the market. When everyone is selling; buy, When everyone is buying; sell. Obama, (to the subtle pick-ups) conceded. Shhhh.

If that’s so, imagine what we’re in for if the Marxist wins. That a candidate could so imtimidate, if true, is chilling.
