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.

Because Obama will actually NOT allow oil drilling, his little asides like “we can’t drill our way...” are the real message. Same with missile defense, tax cuts and all his other fake conservative rhetoric.

Brojaw has had his panties in a twist since minute one. I suggest some extra fiber.

After 90 minutes does anyone remember any of these retorts?

Who are these debates for? Who is undecided at this point? If they are that ill informed and or disinterested do we really believe that they are watching tonight?

Brokaw should turn off the microphone when time runs out.

“Why does he keep repeating that same “we can’t drill our way out of the problem?”

__________________________

Why doesn’t McCain reply: “ We can’t NOT drill our way out of it either.”

If it’s over, then please go slit your wrists, or at a minimum leave the darned forum. Your persistent hand wringing (which is more likely open plugging for Obama/Biden) is really growing tiresome.

I simply can’t take listening to the Messiah. I swear, if, GOD forbid, he gets elected, my TV is off for the next 4 years (except possibly on football weekends).

And only if Keith Olberman isn't on at halftime.

I’m not watching. Honestly, though, I don’t know how any candidate could pitch his message toward “independent/undecided” at this point, because that basically means “apathetic idiot.”

McCain getting better as he goes. However Obama sounds good (doesn’t matter that he’s lying half the time). The problem is McCain is not knocking Obama down, just jabbing him. That’s not enough to impress the sheeple.

“He has already won this debate.”

But out there in the media, they are already printing up the Obama won stories and the kos kiddies are out looking for online polls to hit 20 minutes before it’s over.

I believe the conservatives in the US have never had a president they actually wanted out of office because they thought he was dangerous. Obama fits that bill; he wants a socialistic state. Clinton was just a skanky self-centered lawyer that we could deal with.

Obama is a lawyer who desires no lawsuit reform that would allow lower medical costs. BAD BAD
