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.

Let’s face it, the commie trolls are lazy and want the working Patriot Americans to give it up for them - whatever it is they want at that moment. Their playbook is old and musty. Commie trolls - move to Russia or China and get out of our way or stay and learn how to work for a living and healthcare!

"Healthcare is not a “right”.
Exactly...nobody has a RIGHT to the work produced by another. Nobody! "

EXACTLY!

Now how nice would it have been to hear McCain say that and then continue down that aggressive line?

He's all we got, but this man is NOT one of us. Thank God we've got Palin or all hope would be lost for this election because McCain sure isn't cutting it.

Horrible debate overall...terrible questions.
McCain spoke to much with rote answers, didn’t speak directly to the questions very much.

Obblomo...blithering idiot overall.

I fear for our country if Obambi is selected by massive voter fraud.

Does this idiot really want to get into a military debate with McCain over Afghanistan and Pakistan, especially with Petraeus in charge there now? He’s a total moron.

A LOT of us are having literal physical/spiritual reactions to him that cannot be explained by mere political differences.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He is evil incarnate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Agreed. Obama is a black hole of fascist evil, a man who if elected will strip us of our freedoms , by executive mandate, and by judicial fiat of deconstructionsist judges. I detest everything Obama stands for.

The weak minded see only as far as the feel good crap Obama spouts

That includes the whiners on here tonight, the pseudo TROLLS, who hardly realize what this is about.

Good vs. Evil. Take a good look at it and think.

Best post of the night. Thank you.

Of course Nobama thinks it’s a right. To him. it’s perfectly fine for everyone to have insurance. WHETHER YOU PAY TAXES OR NOT.

You see, my FRiends what Tommy boy needed to ask was what are you going to do with the one true entitlement program WELFARE in your first 2 years as President.
But no. Tom wants to call SS and Medicare entitlement programs, which is not necessarily true.

John is doing very well. even with Tom trying to play referree.

BTW . Hussein lied about the gas price in Nashville. The range that I saw was $3.59-3.81, not the $3.89 he said.

“Now he’s talking about the holocaust? WTH?

Did he say if we intervened effectively in the Holocaust? Did I hear that?? “

Well sort of ***Obama basically said, if we had not intervened effectively, then would we have felt morally compelled to intervene,,,? WTH?

WTH is the right sentiment.

Oh and Obama wants us to send more non-military aid ($$$) to Pakistan,,,then we’ll invade them if we can’t buy them off.

I wonder how the troops react as a whole when they come back home from 6 years of deployment to find out we just elected the enemy as their new commander in chief?

Can you say DRAFT?
