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.

someday,IMO FR must go to paid privileges.. only...there are SO many whiners, trolls, con men, elitist, and agitators on here that I know most of them would be gone if they actually had to be a supporter member....

McCain is winning on substance....Sarah is the flashy and passionate VP.....John is the quiet leader.

ONWARD MCPALIN!

I wouldn’t go so far as to say McCain is sucking wind, but he is not doing what Sarah Palin intimated he’d do tonight. I’m not hearing attacks, I’m hearing bipartisanship. I’m not hearing names being named, I’m hearing generalities. Sorry, that’s just what I hear. (and McCain simply plain old “sounds” winded. I wonder if he’s getting a cold or something).

Okay turn down your volume while McCain goes on about climate change and remember it plays well with most Americans.

Looks like McCain is wrapping up the Green Vote for this election. He is an eyewitness to the adverse effects of carbon emissions. Wow.

Are we getting killed or it is just my imagination?

LOL! He does seem to be warming to the subject, but he’s
not seeming to be comfortable here. I thought this was HIS
venue, but I am not liking the answers. Maybe I’m too picky.

Ingrid Jackson......climate change and green jobs.

Hey John—global warming is a hoax!!!!!!!!!!

Good thing you picked Sarah to run with you.

At least he’s pushing nuclear power.

Says Zerobama is against nuclear.

Memo to all: no jobs are going to be created in the green sector is the economics don’t add up. Period.

I keep telling Anoreth to put the car windows up: the control buttons are at the driver’s seat!

My husband is watching the debate in the other room. He thinks McCain’s doing good.

Don’t you know he’s The Messiah?

Ooops, I forgot.

Too bad he is not very good at controling nuclear power. Now Obama is yapping at some pie in the sky item

Let’s pray for those in authority like we mean it!

...as we meanwhile DO urge them to defend and protect the Constitution and honor their oaths...and serve their legal constituents with minimal regard for covetous ‘stakeholders’ who have no moral or legal standing...

...as we consider the realistic alternatives We The Employers could appoint—and how we the sovereign citizens can hold them accountable, more than ever.

“The horse is prepared for battle, but victory comes from God” - Proverbs
