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.

Yeah, I should have said “When.” What is more, the polls are not designed to account for the PUMA factor. That is why the polls should be ignored among other reasons.

"He looked like he had big bald spots in his hair tonight???"

"I noticed that too. What was that?! I have never noticed that before."

My daughter called me to tell me it looked like a poppy cut into his hair. LOL!

Obama acts effeminate imo. He dresses and speaks that way too. It’s okay for Fsshion Week but no-kay for POTUS.

Yes, Frank Davis wrote about his bi-sexuality. Hopefully Obama wasn't molested by Frank Davis while growing up. Does Obama spend more time with Reggie than Michelle by choice?

And Mrs O on the down-low at the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Trans-gender Luncheon August, 2008, during the DNC.

This site worships Michelle O (get it? sounds like Jackie O) and follows her wardrobe. But many of Michelle's events aren't currently publicized in order to avoid turning off voters in the swing states. www.mrs-o.org

Anyone is crazy if they think the African-Americans in tonight's audience are undecided. They were plants.

Same thing happened to me with George Will. I’m thinking that they consider social conservatives, like myself, interlopers.

“They are also giving money to McCain.”

Add to that Obama’s cash burn rate being 3x McCain’s, and the end of this campaign is going to be very one-sided - in our favor.

I did not say he is pro-immigrants, but he didn’t pass the laws in 1977 and 1995, Carter and Clinton passed the laws that got us where we are today and they were aided and abetted by Barnie Franks, Chris Dodd, and company... there is no way McCain can even begin to compare to any of the democrats who caused this financial disaster and handing the WH, House and Senate over to that party is nothing any of us should take lightly... We can fight McCain on things we don’t like after he is elected... Obama is a whole other ball game.

It is intriguing. Obama outscored McCain on every question except national security, and that one was close. So . . . why are they still voting for McCain 56 to 44? I hope this tiny sample size translates to the General Election . . .

____________________
Here’s a reprint of what I was thinking earlier in the thread:

Could it be that Obama is too pretty, too crafted indicating a celebrity that is sly and has something to hide? McCain is not pretty in fact he has a broken body due to torture. Maybe McCain is coming across as not pretty, but worn and yet, transparent. His tests wounded him and even broke him, but he does love his country and is a patriot who has nothing to hide.

That's the gray that he's no longer dyeing. His target audience tonight was the 50+ crowd. He needs “gravitas.”

Check him out next time he does a youth event.

It wasn’t a mass purge so much as it was a series of bans over the course of a few months. Pukin Dog definitely got banned, MadIvan stopped posting (and is a moderator at another conservative forum made by the group of ex-FReepers in question), and there are definitely others.

I wish I had a list to give you.

I will be sure to take a picture of my ballot with Hunter’s name written in on Nov 4.

I’m going to frame that picture as proof I did not vote to kill the GOP. :o)

That should put some of us to shame-Hillary supporter Dems willing and ready to be more activist and supportive of our candidate, than some of us are! Amazing!

Will the RNC stand up to rampant voter fraud?
