Let's light this candle!

[Political Junkie Too]

I can't believe it -- even Fox and the entire panel say Obama won the debate, even Krauthammer said it!!

Obama even said this during the debate -- he mentioned Fox by name to neuter them. Did it really work?!?

i think i will pull my hair out...

[tpanther]

Now that surprises me!

Sir! Yes Sir!

I guess we can’t have an intelligent conversation?

Did McCain vote for extremely liberal, socialist leaning, supreme court justices?
Did McCain vote for the Fairness Doctrine?
Was McCain part of the gang of 14?
Did McCain once consider leaving the Republican Party to join the Democrats?
Did McCain vote for the extremely bloated bailout package, with loads and loads of pork in it?

All I’m saying is, I don’t see too much of a difference in his actions as opposed to some of his liberal counterparts. He has stated, on more than one occasion, that he will reach across the aisle to work with the democrats. Have the democrats come up with any legislation lately that even resembles conservative, constitutional ideals? Far from it.
There’s nothing there to work with.

Ever since McCain chose Palin, the Fox All Stars have all had a burr under their saddle. They have turned away from McCain ever since then. I seriously don’t get it.

Did the Germans ever regret having Hitler as leader?

Hard to have regrets...when you are taking dirt naps.

[frogjerk]

Krauthammer is a moron on this issue.

[conservativepoet]

Krauthammer dislikes Palin,

_____________

This is an easy one. She emits a genuine optimism founded upon her love of God. She is profoundly alive inside. Krauthammer emits from deep within his soul a contorted cynicism. He often wears it on his face. There is very little life inside this man. Her joy is his darkness.

PALIN / JOE THE PLUMBER (2012)

[BARLF]

Question: If all the Luntz group were undecided before and only four people said the debate tonight made them decide to vote for Obama who are the remaining people sitting there going to vote for? How did 4 people indicate Obama won the debate?

Well, two questions.) and did I make my questions clear or are they as twisted as they seem to me?

Now I have three questons. Hehe

[JennysCool]

You, dear Jenny, and a whole bunch of other blindered FReepers, didn’t get the clue. Obama cleaned McLame’s clock tonight.

Cool. What color is the sky in your world, Jor-El?

[MinuteGal]

Charles Krauthammer, the aristocratic-looking phoney intellectual.....or the intellectual-looking phoney aristocrat has one of the biggest scam jobs going on TV news today.

And I didn't just start thinking that tonight.

OK - He thinks McCain did really well, the best from all three debates. Obama was just a good talker. He is upset that Obama has not changed his position on taxes. He doesn't believe in wealth distribution. He is offended by the Obama’s Robin Hood policy.

He believes that people should work for what the get. He did not believe 0bama’s when he said he will not raise taxes for 95% because Obama only has a record of raising taxes.

Joe did not answer who he will vote for.

Joe respects McCain. Joe has a big problem with Ayers. He did not like the way Obama answered, saying that he was only 8 years old and that he was on the Annenberg Board with Ayers as were some Republicans. He thinks Obama’s talk is cheap.

When Joe went to Obama’s event he honestly wanted to know a “solid answer” from Obama about taxes. He liked Huckelby a lot, more than McCain. He was sorry that Huckelby backed off in the end.

[nascent skeptic]

I was thrilled with how McCain spoke to Joe the plumber and explained how small businesses are threatened by Obama’s “promises” to the voters for free stuff.

I don’t think Barnes and Krauthammer, as pundits, can begin to relate to Joe the plumber. I don’t think that type of entrepreneurial spirit registers with them. They’re just talking heads, as is Kristol.

That’s where I was coming from with “snob”. As far as I’m concerned McCain hit it out of the park. I get the impression nothing McCain does would be enough for Barnes, and Krauthammer as well. They’ll just move the goalposts.

Brit Hume just called Joe the Plumber Joe the ‘Bummer”

I can't help but be suspicious of this abrupt about-face by Fox. Something is up, and they don't want to get blamed for it. I just don't buy it that they all agreed Obama won.

[factmart]

McCain won this debate, period.

[mylife]

I am done with Krauthammer.
Here is a clue Chuck, DU is worried.

Kraut isn’t being intellectually honest
