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.

“LOL one of the people asked the priest is there was a devil. He said, “yes, he is having a debate right now with John McCain.”

LOL! Sounds like it could come from a movie - the old Irish priest gettin’ his lick in!

Naa, my priest is from Malta, he is scared to death of Obama. We talked after scripture about that video for the kids saying Alpha/Omaga

He was only half kidding about calling Obama the devil.

Obama is practically giving a green light to every company that wants to attack Israel.

The CNN stupid chart just shows love for obama - same crap as the Palin debate. Bet on it that the MSM will trumpet BO’s superior performance. Ticks me off.

Obama “We cannot allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon.”

You just contradicted Biden who has said recently that Isreal and the world will have to live with a nuclear power Iran.

FLipp flopping again?

Mac was HORRIBLE. Off. Wheezy. Weak. Obambi was strong, confident and did his typical happy talk that goes over with 99.99999% of the masses who pick Presidents like we pick the American idol. Bookmark my post and come back in 5 days - Obambi will likely widen the lead, as much as it chagrins/depresses me to say it.


I couldn’t agree more. The election is over.


Don`t know if it`s over but McCain let hussein off the hook AGAIN !

-BHO`s Big Lie about Bush being responsible for the financial crisis and McCain not explaining the CRA/Fannie Mae/Frank/dodd.

-BHO`s Bi Lie about Clinton running a surplus, TOTAL BS. The FEds have 3 books, Clinton ran a surplus in only 1.

MCCAIN IS LETTING HIM OFF THE HOOK AND IS REPEATING HIS MISTAKES !!!

F**k I`M PI***D !!!

Wow Obama does a lot of excessive talking and STILL doesn’t answer the question.

Zerobama trying to sound grown-up about
Iran.

Zerobama talks a bout dire consequences to Iran—such as what, Mr. Tolly-ban?

O - OJT. Talk to our enemies. “Let’s see if it works - it may not work”. Now that is serious, forward-looking leadership!

Obama didn’t answer the Israel question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In other words ... if Iran attacks Israel, he wouldn’t commit US military forces to defend Israel.

Jewish friends in NYC an Florida, TAKE NOTE!!!!!!!

McCain got off to a lousy start but has dominated and won the second two-thirds of the debate. BO has lost the foreign policy questions entirely.

Obama will not say he would use military force to help defend Israel.

McCain hit this question out of the park. Obama is ‘bombing on this question.
