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.

I want to throw up every time 0bummer says something like that.

And it is just me or does it sound like 0 wants to try putting our enemies into "time out" as an option. Sheesh!

Is that Obama suggesting Cowboy Diplomacy?

Oh never mind, he says he won’t follow through on the “or else.”

Maybe it’s above Brokaw’s paygrade to keep this fair and balanced.

How about Republicans grow a pair. Brokaw couldn't host ... er ... "moderate" this "debate" (which I'm not watching, only breezing through this thread) ... without one thing:

A presidential candidate.

Either candidate could hold the thing hostage. I say Republicans grow a pair and say okay, we have two moderators. Obama's team picks one, we pick one. Either that, or no "debate."

Are they so cowardly that they think the American public wouldn't respect some righteous calling-down?

If Obama wins, it will be by voter fraud. I wonder how many people will do anything about it?

Yep, he got completely off track on the Georgia follow up stuff... strung stump speech sound bites not fully related and ummed em together. It was horrific, and now he’s off completely.

my daughter could have done better than McCain did in the first 5 minutes.

She could certainly do better than Obama's screwed up answer on Iran "Rejoin the family of nations?" .... WTF?

B. Hussein simply is not genuine, most people watching this must realize that fact.

Israel.

Mc: No waiting for UN, Russia, China votes. Iran threat to Middle East (um, ship caught, was hot with radiation, i’d say to the world). Tough sanctions. League of Democracies. Abandon their quest for nukes... (never)

Obama: We can’t let them get a weapon, terrorists.
Don’t provide veto power? Yet use all the tools at our disposal? (like what) Work with others diplomatic/
If we can, if we can, if we can. Direct talks to Iran, tough, change (as if no friggin ones done that, he’s a twelver, there’s no talking). Oh, it’s our fault Iran and N. Korea have centrifuges... sheesh. Paging Clinton and Carter.

Ummm... Yes or no?

Let’s see if the LameStream Media corrects Hussein on his history. I won’t hold my breath.

I get the feeling that for Obama this intl. diplomacy and C-in-C stuff is all theoretical. 0 has 0 experience.

He absolutely Bitch Slapped Obamee on support for Israel.

As someone close to many Jews, he can't convince them with the answer he gave.

Did Obama just give that whole rambling answer without ever saying the word “Israel”? Does he lose millions of Muslim supporters if the word passes his lips?
