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.

You’re full of shite.

You think after all this we want another moderate?

Palin will be the next GOP nominee.

She is the only reason 75% of the freepers on this thread right now are even paying attention.

And that 70 million on her debate...you think that was a fluke?

Romney my ass.

“Green Jobs” = Nuclear Power. Good.

Palin will indeed be the front runner in four years- as long as she remains Gov. of Alaska. But the old boys she took on and beat are out to get her, plain and simple. If she doesn’t become VP, she’s in for the fight of her life in Alaska. The old boy network wants her destroyed in Alaska, which will negate her on the national stage.

At least McCain is pushing Nuclear power when addressing the Global Warming issue. That’s good news

McCain started slow....but now is steam-rolling, attacking the taxer, and Osama is just repeating his usual rhetorical talking points...

Obama still spouting his fantasy tax cut... 95% of Americans getting a tax cut...

Completely ignoring the FACT that 40% of Americans pay ZERO Federal taxes...

How do you cut zero tax? Oh - right, you raise taxes on everyone making over $250K per year and give it to those who don’t currently pay taxes.

Of course, those who are having their taxes raised will just pass on the cost to folks - thus passing on the tax to those same folks who supposedly are getting a tax cut.

Not to mention the job losses due to higher costs of doing business...

This format is terrible. There is very little chance for the two to engage each other. This isn’t a debate at all. Its dueling stump speeches. Pathetic.

McCain actually answered that question well. He went straight for nuclear power, and never mentioned cap-and-trade.
