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.

Is this all coming out incomprehensible to the average joe?

This is what it sounds like: "Woa-woa-wao-woa-woa-woa-woa."

Bingo.

I hope McCain nails him on taxing health care by showing the health care tax credit. McCain just nailed him on gov't intervention in health care. He should link gov't health care to Freddie and Fannie.

Having fifty states set up their own health care requirements is a real problem. McCain should address this.

It’s almost always about whether radiologists have a better lobby so Xrays are required on everything in Delaware or whether there’s an abundance of plastic surgereons requiring Delaware to always offer breast augmentation.

I’m not watching either....this thread is as far as I can go. I can’t take it.

If we have that terrorist lover for President I’m turning off FOX and talk radio - because it would be futile and I value my health.

Is just me or is Obama just babbling. I can’t follow his comments. But maybe that just the way I’m hearing it.

Is it too late for a legitimate 3rd party candidate?

Thomas Sowell says he doesn't want to run for office. Mark Steyn was born in Canada.

It's McCain or Little Stalin. Good thing wine is cheap.

the only thing these people are undecided on is if they should vote for obama or nader. Every one of these townhall debates always have rooms full of two types of people, libs and socialists

Amazing... there is more positive response to McCain's performance on Hillary Clinton.net than on here.

Well, it's a mutual admiration society. McCain has commented on what a fine president Hillary would make.

What is hell is a community health center? Isn’t that where those that don’t have insurance go today. That was dumb.

Has anyone even mentioned the after effects of hurricane Ike on the Gulf coast economy? Any debates 2 years ago started with bashing Bush because Katrina was all his fault. Ike’s destruction was 3 to 4 times that of Katrina just 6 weeks ago and nobody has even mentioned it. When is Kanye West, George Clooney or Sean Penn coming to Houston to help raise money to get folks back on their feet? /rant
