Okay, folks. Let's keep an eye on this debate and see if Sarah can beat down hairplug.

[cherry]

pc....don't go away mad.....

but we've had a terrible run of trolls and just plain old nasty freepers spewing garbage the last week or so...

what I say about the debate is this.....Sarah did well, held her own, looked astonishing, connected to the public, and made no major mistakes at all and even got a few good ones in there.....

that to me = a big WIN!

[kabar]

You can either wait for someone to confirm or void your opinion, but the best judge is you. I thought she did a fantastic job, which was aided by the fact that the MSM had created such low expectations by ridiculing her and foisting the image of a dumb bimbo. The MSM always tries to depict Reps as dumb and inept. It backfired big time tonight as they couldn’t control the message.

Love your new tag. LOL

Fred Thomspon. “Sarah has placed shame on a lot of people if they are capable of shame(talking about the media/critics). also says Joe lied about Mac.

I’ve been here for ten years and I can still piss people off every now and then. Hang in there!

I'm reminded of Healy in the movie "There's Something About Mary"

[after telling Mary that he's an architect]

Pat Healy: Really, it's only a side thing for my true passion.

Mary: And what's that?

Pat Healy: I work with retards.

Mary: Isn't that a little politically incorrect?

Pat Healy: Yeah, maybe, but hell, no one's gonna tell me who I can and can't work with.

I can't believe the retards who coached her didn't come up with this. It's not her fault All she had to say was "look here is what John said"....

John McCain, on May 25, 2006, warned the nation about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. McCain's warnings came in this bill which the Democrats defeated:

"...For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac--known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs--and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEO's report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEO's report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.

I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole..."

Fred Thompson is on Fox pointing out Biden’s mistakes!

[sonic109]

no you’re not too tough. Mc Cain is sliding in the polls and fast. She needed to tie Obama to ACORN and explain how govt. pressure on banks to make loans to no pay back minorities cause the financial crash. She blamed greedy Wal St but left out the other half , greedy democrats . She needed to bring out the BIG guns and show the world the ugly truth of radical leftist Obama . To that end she failed terribly.

Told ya so. (re: my post 166)

;-))

[over3Owithabrain]

And so relieved. Luntz said we WILL see a shift in the polls

If true, that makes the second time Palin has bailed out McCain with a poll bump. This time it's up to HIM to do something with it.

[Revolting cat!]

Freeper prayers worked! Now, will someone pray por poor moi?

[LS]

OMG. Hard to believe. Sometimes I think Luntz takes all of them out to get hammered before he hands them the little dials.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I’m stuck on Joe saying we should build clean coal plants in China and schools in Pakistan.

He did say that, didn't he.

[eyedigress]

I don’t think so, (does it matter?) Fred Thompson on FNC now saying wow!

[AGreatPer]

GO PITT!!!!! 26-21 so far. Pitt was a 14 point underdog.

[cherry]

hell....I just wish she would come within 800 miles of me....I’d go...I really would.....

[ScottfromNJ]

CNN independents = Group of hand picked liberals.

[EagleandLiberty]

Sarah will be in Florida next week...

[snarkytart]

Why put on a panel LEANING OBAMA? So damn sickening.
The MSM is horrible.

When I was on the phone with John, he said he couldn’t even access the server that died. I’m assuming it smoked. If so, we’ll replace it with a newer server. The new ones are more than twice as powerful as the old ones. They have four onboard processors as compared to two and they’re faster. Also, 64 bit opposed to 32 bit.
