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.

He has said he would let the tax cuts expire. Flip flop.

McCain just nailed Obama on actually putting tax cut bills into action. Obama -- zip!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, i’m on my cellphone. T9 messes me up sometimes. The question was what will americans go without or what will our burdens be during their presidency.

McCain: Lets compare rhetoric and record. Obama votes 95 times to raise taxes. (Obama rhetoric doesn’t match his record).

Obama is looking very smug. Smirk on his face. Got made when Brokaw wouldn’t let him have his way.

LOL.
I’m just sitting here watching these two idiots and reading this thread.
I HOPE it’s not all over.
But, right now, McCain is going down.

Great hit from Mac on Obama not sponsoring a tax cut for the middle class while in the Senate.

Not to pick on you personally - but to all those who are saying McCain is sucking wind tonight - would you have the same opinion had he been up by 5 points heading into this debate?

I agree that Romney is in a good position. Sadly, Palin will be finished outside of Alaska. The media has seen to that. Romney probably should have been the nominee in retrospect because of this financial mess.

Mac is slapping Obambi re tax cut record- what he said versus what he does. Shows that Obama always votes for tax increases, not cuts, even though he is saying now he is for cuts..

40% pay taxes, Obambi wants to raise corporate taxes , corporations that pass down those extra taxes straight to 100% of all consumers thus 40% don’t pay more taxes , 100% PAY MORE TAXES thru their everyday purchases !

Back Door Barrack Attack !
