I threw up my dinner when one of the next steps McCain advocated was for the government (read YOU and ME) to ‘rescue’ all of the homes of Seniors that are having trouble paying their mortgages.
Geeze, now that the nanny state is going to take care of our every need, I’m so happy that I can evidently start sending McCain a bill for my Charmin to wipe my butt with. Speaking of.... he may as well have flushed his chances down the toilet. He wasn’t prepared to name anyone in the country as an economic advisor, or at least name a few people that he has confidence in that he could turn to for expertise in getting through this economic crisis.
MCCAIN’S HANDLERS ARE SO BAD - FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE PREPARED HIM FOR THAT QUESTION MAKES ME THINK THAT HIS CAMP HAS DEFINITELY BEEN INVADED BY OBAMA INFILTRATORS!!!
McCain is sounding better than he has, but he’s still choppy and a bit hesitant, IMO.
Obama is doing well, even when lying through his teeth. He’s smoother than some would have anticipated, I think.
I was really looking for McCain to take a ballbat to Obama over the DhimmiRat complicity in the mortgage crisis, and Obama’s peculiar lack of participation in the talks leading up to the first House bill (piece of garbage that is was, notwithstanding).
McCain has a golden opportunity to slap this novice silly, but he’s laying back, for some reason.
This is NOT the do or die situation that most freepers commenting seem to think it is.
It’s ridiculous to think that the presidency it going to settled as a result of this debate.
Enough with the doomsday attitude and throwing in the towel already. Election Day is next month.
I Think i’m ready to just cry.
Palin 2012?
Every four years these guys talk about the middle class and how much they’re going to help us. Yeah, right. What has Obama EVER done for the middle class?
Get used to saying Supreme Leader Barak Obama.
The format produces a boring result. The best way to have handled it was the way Sarah did = forget the MSM “moderator” and talk directly to the American people.
So far the most effective format has been that by Rick Warren at Saddleback.
At best this is turning into another “tie,” and that is not what McCain needs.
Thoughts...........
Someone said they just wanted to cuss........ Now not sure what could have caused that thought... but I’d tell them to go ahead, cuss to their hearts content.

I dread seeing that horsey militant Michelle Obama desecrating the White House.
Wonder who got picked to be in the audience?
My Dad just called and offered me stiff drink at his house....I won’t be driving back to my place tonight...
ONG..I havn’t gotten to watch yet, and logged in here to see the reactions. I’m going to be sick..is it really that bad? I don’t think I’ll watch now. The next couple of days of the gloating media is going to be painful.
Boring.....boring...BORING!
I was not impressed. The only thing I liked and the only place he connected was his final statement. Thats where he was real. I am still hopeful America is not stupid enough to vote in Obama but it will be a tough ride here on out.
Boring debate...
Lousy format leaving just enough time for senseless soundbites that we’ve heard for almost 2 years. McCain didn’t hit hard enough and didn’t dispute Obama’s letter to Sec. of Treasury regarding reform. Obama’s letter was solely to reverse foreclosures on borrowers who shouldn’t have ever obtained mortgages.
Obama seemed to be more comfortable than usual and didn’t stutter much and got his points across. McCain did just okay. Neither are likely to have changed any minds.
But I feel very sad tonight.
We know in our own skin, that nothing damages the human clock-work faster or more profoundly than those kinds of unresolved negative ambiance and emotions that politicians want to use to define for us who and what we are. When Obama says government is the answer, what he is really saying is not only who and what we are, but who and what we are going to be unless we give them the power, unless government provides the answer.
There is actually no forgiveness in the politics of Obama. That is a fundamental thing that the America people are feeble in understanding – and it seems they are not seeing the danger to themselves. There is no forgiveness, and eventually when the politician of such a message fails, the unforgiving blame for this will turn on them. And the government will have the power to injure them, and it will be very difficult to take that power back.
I think McCain already lost his chance when he didn’t stand up against the second bail out proposal, his chance to stand with the people and propose that a better way, a better plan is required.
Surely tonight was the last shot from the front line. I doubt is America is going to tune into the next debate.
I believe America is about to make a vital, terrible, mistake. There is nothing I can do about it, I am simply here and the circle of influence I have is very small.
This is an important conversation that we need to now all have. That we are capable of having. We need now to plan a place where we can go to bring about a kind of alignment to protect our values and our families and our country.
That video of those students who were put into fatigues and orchestrated into chanting the name of Obama, this is just a foresight of what we are looking at. We are looking at a race against time, we now need to choose how we will now evolve in this alignment in which we will need to do, in large part, without the politicians.
They want to take away our ability to make choices. To make decisions. America is about to find out who the rich people are. The rest of the world will scream, that we are all the rich people.
And we need to all pay.
And there is no forgiveness in the politics of those who are behind Obama, and what they want to do to us. There will be no winners in the end.
Obama is going to fail. He may have the power, and take more power away from the people and give it to the government. But he will fail. He can take all money from all the rich people, but it won’t be enough money. It will never be enough. After they take what you have, then America might again start to understand.
In tonight’s second presidential debate there was much boiler plate and little surprise. Perhaps the only electric moment came when Tom Brokaw – a lump of a man with the air of a 17th century royal – asked both McCain and Obama if he, as president, would defend Israel against an attack by Iran.
I was open-mouthed at Obama’s response. Obama tried to skate around the question before finally saying that he avoid having to make that decision by first having made nice-nice with all the other nations in the United Nations that would then use diplomacy to make Iran see the errors of it ways and voluntarily give-up nuclear weapons. I couldn’t believe my ears.
But on November 4, 90% of American Jews will march into voting booths and proudly vote for Obama. Idiots.
McCain lost. Obama won.
Palin needs to be the best sprinter ever in the final lap and more dirt has to come out on Obama that can stick. Right now I’m smoking again and left the debate 4 times to have a cigarette outside to calm down. I fear we’re gonna have the democrats in control of all three branches soon. And on top of each branch we have very scary people with very scary ideologies.
