10/07/08

[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.

I think McCain is not doing so well, kind of laying low. I hope he pounces hard and fast. Is it called “rope-a-dope”?
If McCain doesn’t step up the pace, we will lose.

McCain needs to say you can’t trust the dems who caused the crash of fannie and freddie......with subprime loans.

[Nam Vet]

Here we go on the 'When George Bush....." crap. I really don't think it is that effective anymore.

O'crappy will cut spending too ..... probably defense dollars.

Is there a drinking game? There had better be!

I think it's 'deregulation'

[padre35]

Yeah Mac was a bit nervous, Obama seems to be ahead a bit, McCain has offered 1 solution, Obama about 5.

This lady can barely speak, and we should never trust these folks anyway.

I’d like to hear a good Nipsey Russell poem about now.

[NewLand]

Obama is getting more time...

[Another Thought]

I haven’t been this depressed in years.

[Oratam]

Obama: “Investment” = taxes

[Fawn]

Mccain needs to talk about this deregulation....it is left up in the air right n ow that it’s all mccains fault.....he needs to bring that up again.

[TV Dinners]

Obama is getting a free ride here.... he's allowed to bulls*t over 2 minutes in most cases

[pepperhead]

Obama is a total liar-—I detest this creep.

Biden is the same.

[buccaneer81]

It seems like The Obama has been speaking 80% of the time.

Maybe. But it seems like McCain isn't using all of his time.

[Terpfen]

It’s the kind of town hall where the audience has been hand-picked and the questions pre-approved ahead of time.

Standard Obama town hall.

[AliVeritas]

ZING, CARRIED OUT YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

TIME TO ROLL OUT THE NINJA LOANS O SUED FOR... NAMELY THOSE WHO DIDN’T AND WILL NOT PAY THEIR MORTGAGES BACK.

Debt. Hmm, we’re also at war. Obama said right after the bailout passed, we need a new stimulus plan.

re: Saudis Did he vote to drill?

re: Spending. Obama, are you willing to drop the Global Poverty Bill? Thought not.

Oh shoot, Mc said cynicism and mistrust... he’s turnspeaking.

[princess leah]

I hope everyone heard Obama’s FIRST sentence - I am going to spend money!!! OK - that is His answer to a fiscal problem!

[Fudd Fan]

Nah, we’re not YET.

[sazerac]

The national debt has increased by 2 trillion dollars since the democrats took over. That’s as much as the republicans had overspent in 6 years.

I’m just saying.

Every time O opens his mouth I see a USED CAR SALESMAN
