McCain won the debate, imho, I guess the problem is the famous independents are idiots. Their knee jerk reaction that Obama would be “better” on the economy is preposterous. I’ve met people like this, even “moderate republicans” who say republicans are “war mongers” and the democrats are “better for the people”.
The debate was a draw. Perhaps it will stop the slide in the polls - that’s the best scenario.
I hope McCain can make it close, like Ford did in 1976. Then at least there are some recovery scenarios in 2010-2012.
It is preposterous, but if the idiot independents only base their opinions off of NYT editorials and the unchallenged platitudes that came out of Obama’s mouth during the debate, they’ll believe the preposterous and will be just as ignorant as they were before. If they’re functionality illiterate, they’ll just listen to Obama. That’s why McCain should have been on the attack during the first part of the debate. He wasn’t, Obama was.
Why is the fact not being made loudly and clearly that the RATS are responsible for Fannie and Freddie? The Rats are responsible and they were the ones who benefited - handing out loans to their voting blocs while some were making insane bonuses. So are they now going to be rewarded for destroying our economy while enriching themselves? If so, we need another country - this one is beyond hope.
