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.

“There has never been a nation in the history of the world whose economy has declined but has maintained its military superiority.”

Whaaa...?

The U.S. during the Great Depression, dumbass? Still a strong military.

Ancient Rome?

Yep... McCain is not doing good. This guy needs to step up to the plate and take Obama on. And you would have thought that in the past 12 days they could have come up with some new zingers for Obama instead of giving him pitches down the middle of the plate to hit.

McCain is using jujitsu on Obama and making this election a referendum on Obama.

I think McCain has already won. He is making sense. Obama is not.

The closer I listen to what Obama is saying, I see a very bright guy (just a few years older than I), but a severely flawed candidate. His initial response to the foreign question was just a rambling mess. My eyes glazed over.

Anytime you use leftist-speak involving military foreign policy, its a losing position. More, he competely ignored Brokaw's question about the ficticious "Obama doctrine".

McCain knows military foreign policy unside-out and should have his way with this.

"McCain’s getting shellacked 68-33... What the hell is your point?" That's not how Intrade works. McCain and Obama are stocks. You have to watch the graphs to see how the market thinks they're performing, not the raw numbers.

Obama just said, "Do you think if we had the ability to intervene in the holocaust we would have?" Does the man know anything about WW II?

Ridiculous, disqualifying answer.

Obambi just, in one breath said we shouldn’t have gone into Iraq but, in the next breath, said we should go into Darfur, Rwanda, etc.. Jeeze.. I guess Saddam’s genocide doesn’t count?

I’ll bet Obambi never offered to help his Mother with her bills when she was dying, neither from the paperwork( Shucks, he is suppose to be a Lawyer!) or financially.
Guess since his grandmother was a “White Folk who didn’t understand Minoritys” then his own Mother probably lived under the Bus too like so may others!

How can Obama be so wordy and say nothing at all?

Good question.

I listen to this man and cannot believe that 5.2% of the people in this country are considering voting for him, let alone 52%. He clearly lives in a different world than I.

Obama is Hitler to McCain’s Marshal Petain.

Fourteen posts in the eight months you've been here.

Get lost, troll.
