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.

Stupid and ignorant. He talks in Kenyan circles.

I remember BBC Hardtalk with Odinga, the anchor ripped him on his crews beheading, burning the church down with women and children in it and asked why he hadn't even called for them to stop the violence; Odinga said sure we want the violence to stop, but, without justice there can be no peace (war cry No Raila, No Peace). He said if Mibaki did win, he would accept nothing less than powersharing. The guy couldn't believe it.

Why does Luntz even matter. He’s a P.T. Barnum. Its all about him and his stupid methodology that NEVER seems to predict the real winner.

"...why all the doom here?"

Because McCain is not just leaving money on the table, but he's leaving it ALL on the table. He's passing up EVERY open door to nail Obama. It's reached the point of either rediculous or intentional. No one who truly intends to win can be stupid enough to pass on every opportunity as he did tonight. This is just depressing, don't shoot the messenger.

OBAMA: This is one of the biggest challenges of our times.

And it is absolutely critical that we understand this is not just a challenge, it's an opportunity, because if we create a new energy economy, we can create five million new jobs, easily, here in the United States.

It can be an engine that drives us into the future the same way the computer was the engine for economic growth over the last couple of decades.

And we can do it, but we're going to have to make an investment. The same way the computer was originally invented by a bunch of government scientists who were trying to figure out, for defense purposes, how to communicate, we've got to understand that this is a national security issue, as well.

And that's why we've got to make some investments and I've called for investments in solar, wind, geothermal. Contrary to what Sen. McCain keeps on saying, I favor nuclear power as one component of our overall energy mix.

Why does FOX damage its brand by bringing this bafoon on with his Obama plants. This is a sham and Fox is deteriorating into garbage.

Because they want to be "fair and balanced"...barf.

Fox didn't need to put a liberal spin on it tonight. CNN does enough of that. And I don't see them being "fair and balanced" in the least.

I agree he closed the deal — COUNTRY FIRST — cannot ask any more of someone then those two words!

McCain took that last question, built on it and hit it out of the park at the end. Country First! I want to see a rerun of the last question again. It showed what he believes and where his heart is and its not about him. Shivers and a fuzzy screen at that ending.

Okay.

It's clear the Democrat message will be McCain introduced a new $300Billion program tonight. But the Bailout program covers what McCain said, doesn't it? It's not a new program, it's an application of the program just passed by Congress!

McCain cannot let the MSM spin it as a new program, and then let Obama "create" the actual program within the boundaries of the plan that McCain was really suggesting.

Who is this dingus woman on Fox?

Claire McCaskill, a huge mistake by Missouri voters. I had to mute the sound.

The way this was set up, it was not the setting that would have allowed McCain to blow open Boma. How lucky for the Muzzie boy

I just wish they would cancel the next debate .. are we not so tired of debates by now ? how many were there in the primaries ?
If there is another debate, let Joe Biden and Sarah Palin do the next debate with Brit Hume as moderator.

Three people murdered in Nyack. One black police officer, one white, and one security guard.

But as Alan Colmes stated last night. No big deal, no one was killed.
