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.
Get dramatic much? Safe to say if McCain loses it won't be because of that.
Well I had a liberal tell me affordable gas prices are a right.
McCain is getting strong here talking about the good of this country.
This debate is depressing. It’s a contest over who wants to expand government more.
Obama is Hitler to McCain’s Marshal Petain.
It’s getting better. Listen to McCain. He is making sense on a lot of things. Obama is just saying government, government and more government. And you as the public can’t have as good a health care plan as I have.
Yeah, bringing up Delaware AND “Loose credit card laws” must have been a freudian slip. MBNA, anyone?!?!
Wow, Neo-Con is a phrased snarled out by the LIBS,,let’s coin a new phrase - NEO-COM!
HE’S SCORING POINTS ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!
Hair transplants !! ROTFLMAO !
If only Obama had mentioned Botox injections like his VP Joey Bedouin has recently suffered.
Or Joey Chang if we are to be politically correct, as Biden is now sporting an Asian look.
This piece of Kenyan garbage brings up his mother-the same mother he couldn’t be bothered to visit when she was dying or for her memorial service.
Ahhhs uhhhhs unintelligible.
We could really use a Palin wink about now!
It’s on McCain’s website. People would be charged a tax for the cost to their employer of providing health insurance. You would them qualify for a tax credit of $5000 to offset the tax. This would completely cover the cost of a employer paid plan up to @0K for people in the 25% bracket. Basically, it would offset the tax. Most people would come out ahead, a small number would pay more in taxes than the credit would offset. If your cost was below 5K, you get to pocket the rest. That is the Reader’s Digest Condensed version. This is from memory. Others may have a different take on it or be able to be more specific.
Tell that to my old insurance carrier when my first daughter was born... 4 weeks in the NICU, then the following winter, monthly RSV preventive at $1200 a pop....
That the same dead mother who dumped him on her parent’s doorstep and went looking for a new thrill?
“McCain talks about how his $5000 tax credit leads to medical-insurance choices. No gubermint will mandate who you can go to for insurance.”
Here in NH a somewhat small battleground state Obama is running ads constantly saying the $5000 is not a tax break because it goes directly to the big bad insurance companies.
I wish McCain would hit back on this...where is factcheck on BHO’s lies?
PONY TAIL GUY WANNABE ALERT!!
It's just a big steaming pile o' %$#*!
It’s super boring. That’s for sure. You know if political nerds like us are bored, the rest of the country turned it off an hour ago.
I think McCain loses on this one in the eyes of the sheeple. Taxing your employer health benefits is not a very attractive option. Although shopping around for the best, most affordable deal might be a net financial benefit, most people don't want to have to do any work in this area. Shopping around requires time and effort.
CC regulation is federal.
Sadly people are stupid enough to think it is a right
Fundamental of you to notice that. ;)
