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.

Obama said health care is a right!? What other rights do I have? The right to own a Ferarri? The right to own a 25,000 sq ft house?

McCain has to start landing big punches. He is letting Obama get off easy. Time to go at him!

If his mother was arguing with insurance companies, then she had health care coverage.

Remember McCain ruled the last half of the last debate. I think he slowly gets sick of the crap piling up on the other side and gives it a shove.

Socialist — Health Care is a RIGHT! Up there with Freedom of Religion, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Assembly, The Right to Bear Arms. I must of missed it in the BOR.

Like your tag line!

McCain isn’t “fighting”. Where is the attack he talked of.
I’ve heard this drivel before....same as his stump speech.

We need ACORN - Democrat parenting of Fanny/Freddy meltdown - Marxist comrades!

Health care as a right is socialism.

I feel your pain.

Step away from the keyboard.

‘Cause you don;t want to hear that 0bama just interjected his own mother dying of cancer into the debate....

How low can you go?

No kidding...if bambi is going to cut taxes for 95%, and only tax those that make over $250K...then that can ONLY mean ONLY 5% in this country make OVER $250K!

I SERIOUSLY doubt this is true.

I’d venture to say well over 5% make $250k or more.

Is it closer to 10%?

Anyone?
