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.

Sounded like socialism to me. I gagged. And there was more talk of bipartisanship and reaching out across the aisle! I don't know if John is trying to throw the election on purpose. Between a leftist and a moderate liberal on the economy, choose your poison!

I was talking to a friend last night on the phone and he said it might be his patriotic duty to just stay home this year. *sigh* I did the best I could to convince him to vote McCain.

Yes, and he was more worried about the stupid “rules” than
what the candidates had to say!

I doubt if Kenyans act that way either.

Perhaps not, but at least one does.

I think Obama was terrible. Rambling answers that went no where, almost all of his solutions involve spending (taxing) more.

But McCain didn't do anything to put Obama away. The media will say that Obama won easily, and they can make that stick.

It IS very telling. I just wish to GOD that the MSM would stop pretending like it’s being somehow racist to point out his past and his CURRENT affiliations with TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS...

It’s kind of like how the MSM says that Ayers was “merely Anti-Vietnam, or Anti-War” and REFUSE to admit that he was NOT “Anti-War” he was ANTI-CAPITALIST, ANTI-AMERICA, and PRO-COMMUNISM, and STILL IS!

Bottom Line: Dreadfully boring, nothing much to speak of, Brokaw a doormat.

Back to beating Obama over the head with Ayers, Wright, Odinga and Al-Monsour 24/7.

“MSM tells everyone that will listen how ‘smart’ obama is.”

The MSM always says Democrats are smart. Wilson was a professor, FDR had a brain-trust behind him, Adlai Stevenson was an egg-head, Clinton was a Rhodes scholar, Kerry was nuanced. As for Republicans, every last one was a moron, except maybe the elder Bush, who, we were constantly reminded, was a “C” student at Yale.

Sorry, now I see what you are saying.

Guess I was on edge because I badly wanted McCain to wipe the floor with BO.
