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.

Everyone say a prayer for McCain for tonight—I said mine and included things like “please make Obama stutter and gaffe like crazy”....I mean our country is at stake, I am sure God will understand that will help us to keep our country as One nation under GOD, not Obama.

The MSM and all leftists will always spin the debates as an Obama victory, no matter what! If Obama wins, then good-bye capitalistic U.S., and hello socialistic U.S. forever! The total amount of problems that a President Obama as well as a leftist majority in Congress will successfully create on all of the issues throughout the entire U.S. is really too much to even list!

“Chris Wallace just spoke to a McCain debate prepper and he suggests that McCain won’t go after Obama too hard. Nothing like Ayers, Wrights, etc... WTF is he thinking?”

He is believing the media, pundits and lying polls. If he doesn’t take Obama and the dems to the cleaners on the financial meltdown...I am giving up on him! There are better things to do with my time and money...especially if my candidate doesn’t have the courage to fight back and tell the truth about Obama and the Democrats to the American people.

The stakes for this country have never been greater.

I saw the photos of the student’s playing the parts and the song to “the dating game” just popped into my head!

I have been a McCain supporter since I first joined FR back in ‘98 (more than 10 years now). But I won't be watching the debate tonight. I can't! Because even if John scores the biggest k.o. of his political career, I don't see how he wins after eight solid years of missed opportunity and general failure by George Walker Bush—who, IMO, has eclipsed Bill Clinton as the second worst president of my lifetime and is only slightly above Jimmy Carter for the dubious bottom honor.

I so wished that John McCain would have been the GOP choice in 2000 as I believe with every fiber of my being that we'd be in a much better position all the way around and I so regret my votes for GWB because I'd much rather have either Gore or Kerry to blame for the current mess we're in today. Sorry to sound so depressed, but that's just the way I feel about this election.

Need work?

How ‘bout greeter at Walmart? Given your advice to Senator McCain, you seem to have all the requisite skills.

"I believe it was found to be a hoax. Not a true translation"

Do you know where I can find out if it is? I just did a Snopes check and they have nothing on it.

if my candidate doesn’t have the courage

I think John McCain passed the courage test a long time ago.

I just really hope McCain doesn’t try to out-liberal Obama and go into uber-populist mode, bashing CEOs, greed, Big Oil, etc....

It's The Belmont Stakes and McCain is our Seabiscuit and we have to ride him hard all the way.
