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.

what do you mean? How many nuclear powered ships have went aground and spilled their rods on a sunny beach? zilch.

Power is power. And as a civilized nation, we got to have it, and it depends on what is cheaper, and that will determine national interest. If there is a global monopoly on windmill blades, we won’t go to war. Our entire economy, military, and the local landscaper weed wacker runs on gas. It will take time to wean our way off of it.

Maybe it’s just me but McCain seems much more sincere, believable, honest, and real.

He seems to be the authentic one.

He must keep using the “rhetoric vs. record” method.

I think it’s working for him.

He has already won this debate.

McCain seems to have a bit more force in his answers now. Finally! Hit him, John.

I thought the U.S. Chamber of Commerce defined a small business as any business that has sales of $10 million or less per year.

I wish these politicians would knock it off with this $250,000 figure.

You can’t lower taxes on 95% of people. A lot more than 5% don’t pay taxes.
