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.

Oh here comes the 95% cut for the people - nonsense. But Obama, you plan to let the tax cut expire.

Obama playing divisive politics they got theirs and you didn't get the tax cut.

He’s also lying that few small business “make” more than $250K a year - most subchapter S corps declare far more than that as income before deductions.

Obama thinks only a small percent of small business make 250K?? That needs to be corrected, McCain said 50% O said a “small” percent.

Good McCain line: “I’ll answer the question.”

Unless this information gets out, it will be 1992 again.

Can't argue with that.

“I think McCain is wiping the floor with Obama right now. He brought up Fannie/Freddie to such an extent that Obama really didn’t answer him. He is contrasting Obama’s liberal record with his record of bipartisanship.

If you say something in a debate and the opponent doesn’t respond, it’s true.
If you don’t respond to an opponent’s charge, it’s true.

Right now McCain is negating everything Obama says while launching his own attacks. This is the best I have ever seen McCain.

Your emailers should realize this isn’t Limbaugh or Hannity.”

Obama sure collected a lot of money from wall street for a guy claiming he’s going to clean it up.

McCain: I’ll answer the question (chuckle), about finding a solution for socialist security.

McCain has to respond to Obama saying policies of last 8 years by saying it's the policies of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.

Every time Obama opens his mouth and lies.
And he’s not being called on it!
McCain can’t ... he doesn’t have time.

Obama’s not serious. So how does your tax plan go with your healthcare demands?

Sweetie, fair is for socialists, do the work, get paid, don’t... live with it.

SSecurity for all Americans. Nationalized for sure.

He's simply "off" today.

Someone who met McCain's plane late yesterday afternoon for a greeting thing told me last night that McCain looked "really tired -- REALLY tired." Damn.

These people in the audience must be complete morons. HOW can anyone with enough sense to ask an intelligent question be "undecided". That they are still undecided, should have disqualified them from participating.

What is the incentive under Obama’s tax plan for m business to make over 250,000? He will start wacking at it. Small buisness DO MAKE MORE THAN 250,000 a year! Obama wouldn’t know because he has never worked a frickin day in his life. Bastard.
