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.

“Telegraphing” the Ayers attack on Obama was brilliant.

The One spent the past two days preparing to defend against the aforementioned attack instead of prepping to go on offense.

Maybe he’s trying to leave the dirty work to her, maybe he’s got overconfident again with the slight shift in polls, maybe they just see the town hall format as tough to get tough in, but he’s got to come hard on his economic message AND Obama’s loony leftism—and not let Obama get away with his 95% tax cut BS!

Heh - the over/under on networks who will hint that at least one of McCain’s answers was “racist”: 2.

This is usually the CNN MS Player stream that has the response bars during the debate:

Besides, we all know that Obama is going to be declared the winner tonight. In fact, I don’t even know why McCain needs to show up.

How many lies will 0bama tell?

How many words will he utter, before telling his first lie?

What else is 0bama lying about?

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?

No, no, no - he needs to be exactly like he was yesterday.

Let’s hope McCain’s days of just rolling over and taking the insults, lies and abuse heaped upon him and Palin- and apologizing for anyone who goes at Obama, are over.

They seem to have mounted a rather weak defense within the past few days- but is it too little, too late?

McCain should have been out there hitting Obama hard every day. There are just so many atrocious things about Obama that he could bring out.

Why is he not mentioning such things as Obama trying to turn Missouri into a police state? Obama trying to turn our children into ‘Hitler youth’- and dozens of other things?

Email Republican headquarters/McCain.
REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!

To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Forget the d*mn economy. Obama is counting on keeping it going to avoid his sordid past from being outed.
Explain it was Obama/Dems/ACORN, your bill you proposed and LET IT GO. Nothing is as important as keeping the dangerous, dangerous man out of the White House. NOTHING!
Let America know what he is!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!

The fact that there are idiots that need this debate on 10/7 to make up their minds is . . .

Even worse, those idiots are the ones that will chose the outcome of this election.

I hope it’s not a head fake.

I hope he lays off the Ayers/Wright attacks tonight.

Which one is playing Obama, and which one is McCain?

/s

By the way, regarding that beautiful eagle graphic: Neither of these guys has a clue about what's needed to restore and preserve the Union or the Constitution. Most of the argument is over which one is the more effective and experienced socialist.

Of course, John McCain wins that debate hands-down.

John needs to rip Hussien open with facts such as his taxation on seniors being taxed 28% on their home sale, end of Bush tax cuts, tax increases across the board. Slice him/dice him with the truth that exposes the Marxist, empty suit thug that he is.

Remember McCain was in the military. They know a little something about head fakes.

I pray you are right.

What's this? Is BO wanting to get rid of the $250,000 per individual exclusion on a home sale?

McCain has to win this crowd and he won’t do that going wholly negative. Unfortunately, William Ayres could be Barney Fife as far as most Americans are concerned. He’s a college professor who was never prosecuted and who cavorts with a ton of Republicans in Chicago. He lives openly in Chicago as a free member of society. He’s written a mess of books on education of late and gotten tens of millions in grants from big nonprofit foundations. Americans have a hard time in 30 second sound bites to tell the difference between that William Ayres and the terrorist of 30 years ago..

If Sinclair did one of those hour-long documentaries like it did for the Swift Boaters in ‘04, then we’d have some penetration of the truth into the American psyche.
