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.

You noticed that too? I coulda sworn it was Bell Labs in New Jersey, but I’m just some old white guy.

I think he was talking about the world’s biggest garbage dump, DARPA-NET, which begot ARPA-NET, which begot Algore’s wet dream, the Internet. Prime example of private vs. public sector “innovation”.

I think some folks who are complaining about how McCain's doing are just listening and not watching at the same time. Listening and posting here causes (me anyway) to not give full attention to what is being said.

McCain is doing good, for the most part. He has stumbled a bit, but he is connecting with the folks in the audience on the stage, and making sense for the most part. I think that is good - because he is also connecting with folks watching.

Obama is a cracker. A low-sodium cracker.

bambi just laughs it off...I’m sure he will lie now.

Obama has an air of arrogance about him. He does indeed think of himself as "The One."

Obama’s trying to run out the clock. Glad to see he’s going into a prevent defense. Attack John!

Yes.

He said a bunch of government scientists invented the compute so they could communicate with one and other!

He thinks the net is a computer.

He’s letting Obama get away with everything, he doesn’t sound angry, he doesn’t sound like there’s any fire, and he isn’t hitting him on any of his lies.

I never thought Id say this, but I found a democrat I loathe more then Bill Clinton.

Obama is not even likeable in a “rogue” way.

I agree! Screw climate change and green issues. We have serious problems here. Meanwhile China sits back and is the worlds biggest polluter but is given a pass.

One more lie. The computer was NOT invented by a group of government scientists. It was invented in the basement of the physics building at Iowa State College (at the time) in 1939 by Atanasoff and Berry.

Is there a truth squad following Obama?
