I think Obama is kicking McCain's ass.

ChuckF · #27 10-08-2008, 02:23 AM

Does McCain know how to talk about anything other than spending cuts?

viscousmemories · #28 10-08-2008, 02:26 AM

"Some of this $700 billion ends up in the hands of terrorist organizations" -- John McCain.

#29 10-08-2008, 02:26 AM

And now he's alluding to the wonders of HIPAA, but forgetting to mention what COBRA premiums actually run...

I think he's talking about the $700 billion in foreign aid he wants to cut, not the $700 billion bailout.

Sorry, meant the POTUS debate. I changed the title.

I see what you did there.

Can I vote for Brokaw?

He's found some good questions. I like that one about expected sacrifices.

NTM

Well, at least McCain hasn't referred to himself as "a maverick." Yet.

ChuckF · #34 10-08-2008, 02:29 AM

Eliminating earmarks = sacrifice.

After the Rolling Stone article, he really ought to shut up about that.

ChuckF · #36 10-08-2008, 02:31 AM

Obama blathers "a lot of you remember the tragedy of 9/11."

First 9/11 for those of you playing at home.

ms_ann_thrope · #37 10-08-2008, 02:32 AM

Yeah, he loses points for 9/11. :sadcheer:

viscousmemories · #38 10-08-2008, 02:32 AM

I like the sacrifices question too. McCain's response -- that Americans will have to sacrifice by accepting the cutting of funding for everything but defense, veteran affairs and select other programs -- was ridiculous.

#39 10-08-2008, 02:32 AM

And here goes Obama about 9/11.

I promise you, the people of :ff:

(which, unfortunately, does not include yguy, Rocky or Norak, but the ASPCA is right there for ya!), when I am elected President, I'm going to have the Patriot Day un-holiday undeclared. And any politician who blahblahblah9/11blahblahs will be fed to alligators.

And I promise this "revolution" will be televised.

ms_ann_thrope · #40 10-08-2008, 02:35 AM

Burdenship? Oh, Obama!

ChuckF · #41 10-08-2008, 02:35 AM

Wow, people who make a lot of money live high on the hog and people who make $35k a year don't. Needs more 9/11.

#42 10-08-2008, 02:36 AM

Jell-O to wall analogy is fail. :facepalm:

#43 10-08-2008, 02:36 AM

Oh, and FEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEARFEAR!

viscousmemories · #44 10-08-2008, 02:36 AM

Hm, women don't seem to like McCain lying about Obama's tax policies.

#45 10-08-2008, 02:37 AM

Here's $5000 a year to pay for your $20000 a year insurance premiums!

ChuckF · #46 10-08-2008, 02:38 AM

Good for Tom Brokaw actually being a moderator. See what that's like, Lehrer?

#47 10-08-2008, 02:39 AM

Here's a hint to the Social Security problem resolution, Tom and Mr Dummy Internet:

Take the funding out of the general fund, where the bipartisan plundering for pork projects and, for example, military aggression against non-white people over in wherethefuckeveristan, has caused much of the shortfall.

SharonDee · #48 10-08-2008, 02:39 AM

Holy cow, look at them Ohio women!

viscousmemories · #49 10-08-2008, 02:41 AM

Social Security is easy to fix. Just be a maverick and reach across the aisle!

ChuckF · #50 10-08-2008, 02:41 AM

"Our wonderful Ronald Reagan!" hehehe, "too many lobbyists working there." How many is too many?
