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.

Brokaw has the loons at MSNBC to factor in...he does not want to be seen as one of them.

I think they are both doing a bad job. Everything seems all out of step. Even Tom Brokaw is not himself.

Obama starting to get frustrated: “Can-can-can-can I respond? Very-very important—tax issue. Okay.”

Doncha think McCain hit hard on the tax comments? He seemed more in line than Obama’s flippant plans that increase taxes on business - capital gains - etc.

“McCain made a huge blunder.”

“The last POTUS to raise taxes was Bill Clinton, not Herbert Hoover.”

The last POTUS who raised taxes while America was in a SIMILAR economic crisis WAS Hoover!!!! McCain was CORRECT.

Obama says we cannot fix SS until we understand other things. Either he is too stupid, or he does not want to fix SS. Obama talking about taxes — now it is $200K per year as the bar. I thought he earlier said $250K. Did I hear right?

Obama: I want to provide a tax cut for 95% of Americans. This in response to the question: Will you set a dedline of 2 years to pass a solution for Socialist Security.

Obama started out the campaign against drilling/oil exploration, against Nuclear power, against clean coal, etc. Now he is acting like he has always been for it...

And now he is trying to blow hard about earmarks?

I just don’t understand how our country has fallen so far that 50% of American voters could fall for this lying clown.

Across the board spending freeze isn’t fair? Obama wants to only cut select programs? That is supposedly going to be more fair?

only bright side in this is Palin is now positioned to lead after the upcoming 4 years ...

Baloney. If McCain is not elected - next up is Mitt Romney. Palin is certainly NOT going to be the front runner for President in four years nor will she run for President. What have you been smoking?
