Agree or Disagree: Friday's presidential debate should be postponed so the candidates can focus on the economy

McCain is a fake, a fraud and a lying liar. KEATING 5, or should we forget this as a prerequisite to his type of fake leadership. Do we need to watch McCain and Bush hold hands and kiss for the Republicans to admit this campaign is a disaster

In the meantime ms. palin is getting prayed over to protect her from....what was it again hummmmmmmmm oh yeah WITCHCRAFT. Have we lost our collective minds. McCain is an idiot and palin is well just scary

Notice that the rightwingers always attack the strength of their opponents. Bill Cllinton was a god as far as politics go, and so they attack him every chance they get, even today. They went after him about 9 years ago by paying millions of dollars to Ken Starr to find some dirt on him. All he found was a mistress in the white house, not lies about foreign affairs, not a faulty economy, and not collaboration with big oil.

Then, about 4 years ago, they attacked the credibility of war hero John Kerry. They came up with some sham about "Swiftboat." Probably a bunch of good ole boys from Florida who needed an extra yacht or another membership to an elitist club.

Now, Obama is up for president, and they are saying he is an elitist, and sometimes implying he is a muslim. Both are false. McCain is the elitist if you look at him at all, and Obama worked his way up from nothing, and built a solid familly and foundation the right way. Obama is a great American tale, and that is one of his strengths. So, naturally, the rightwingers attack that part of him.

I believe it is very important for the debates, especially with what is happening within our country at this time. Multi tasking is something most of us do, as equally the government should be able to do. I believe that McCain is stonewalling. Instead of lies that he has campaigned on where the nation may not necessarily hear all of them, He will be in front of the entire nation with, hopefully the largest audience ever watching him. So let's hear what he has to say now and how he can double talk! If I had any doubts in the beginning of this campaign, there are absolutely no doubts now on who should be president.

The reason McCain wanted to cancel the debate is because he is imploding due to the fact that this economic crises is spelling doom-and-gloom for his candicacy. He wants to appear to be the "God-send" and "Rescuer" in view of the fact that him and his running mate, Palin, know nothing about economics. To suspend your campaign, suspend the debate, and insist that Barack Obama do the same is ludicrous! This is 2008 for Pete's sake--and you should be able to multi-task. If not, I'm sure there's a retirement home that has vacancies! I think McCain is showing "his age" and demonstrating to the entire country that he's unable to function properly in a time of crises.

Pathetic all of you American sheeple, so blinded by your 2 party system and political dedication to it. I'm an independent who votes based on in depth study of the candidates and the issues. I do not vote on party lines. I will vote for McCain because I believe he is the lesser of two evils. You want to hear a shocking statement though? I believe Obama is going to win by a narrow margin because the American 2 party system has divided this country nearly right down the middle. Just look at the recent polls and the last elections. Splitsville folks!! This is exactly what the government wants..divided people, because if you are divided you cannot stand against the tyrant government and take it back. You are so eat up with partisinship that you cannot muster even close to the effort it took a few Americans in 1776 to do what no other people did before...bring an end to tyranny from the greatest and strongest empire in the world at the time..Great Britian.
So let me see, can any of you sheeple stop yelling and name calling each other long enough to stand together and say lets take back our country with a multi million man and women march on Washington. Regardless if Obama or McCain wins....we get either more of the same or more of the do nothing goverment just a different party in power. Both parties need to be abandoned and we form a new Centrist party called The American Peoples Patriot Party or the APPP and together vote all the bums out of Washington and replace them with real American people and not career politicians. Centrists are moderates and believe in working together by borrowing from others strenghts left or right of center and not far right or far left fanaticals. C'mon somebody in this country can stand up and start a new revolution, to take back our government and give it back to the people and not hand it back and forth between Reps and Dems until we are no more a country at all.

Ok folks either left or right, NAME ONE THING OUR GOVERNMENT HAS DONE AS REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS in the last 20 years that has made our country better ot benefited us and put our country on a LONG TERM stable footing. C'mon lets hear it?
WIND RUSHES BY AS THE SILENCE IS DEAFNING!!

Delaying the debate is just another McCain gimmick for an attempted game-changer. This latest tactic fits his stunt pattern, as he has demonstrated in the past. Yet, his entire campaign is based on strong character, stability and experience. Sad to say, his stunts undermine his ability to advance his own argument. The crapola below is just some of McCain's past gimmicks.
- Go back to April 15th; you know, tax day. He proposed a gas-tax holiday. (Like this is going to make a big difference; who is he kidding?) - In July, he launched the Celeberty TV ad. (Paris Hilton brilliantly responded with her own TV ad and blew it up in his face).
- During the DNC he had a "Happy Hour for Hillary." (How pathetic, what a slap on Hillary's face).
- Shortly after the Russian invasion of Georgia, he sends his wife to Tbilisi Georgia. (What is the point of this dog-n-pony show). - Let's not forget the "lipstick on a pig" debacle. (Hey John, it's reference still is the economy stupid).
- Fire Chris Cox, the Securities & Exchange Commission Chairman. (Sorry John,the President does not have the power to do so and neither do you).
- The conference call attacking the New York Times for true reports regarding his campaign manager's, Rick Davis, ties to Freddie Mac. (But did McCain attack Newsweek or Roll Call for similar articles? No!)
- Sarah Palin's on-camera & off-the-record meetings with world leaders. (Now this is going to make her an expert on foreign affairs.)
- Note, For McCain's best stunt, he nominates Sarah Palin. (She is under investigation in Alaska's "Troopergate" for misuse of power as Governor. During her half truth speech at the GOP Convention she lied about the percentage of both oil and natural gas Alaska provides the US. Didn't tell she took the earmark money anyway for the "bridge to nowhere" (just didn't build the bridge). Where did the money go? And that jet she put on E-Bay, it didn't sell on E-bay; but, when the Attorney General's office did sell it, it sold at a $600,000 loss and not the profit she claimed.

*** Now, John I ask you, where is the strong character, stability & experience you talk about? It must not be there, because I can't see it through all your crapola! I am sorry; but, being Patriotic and a POW is not enough to address the issues facing this great nation.

McCain wants a McBush bailout proposal passed. He is not a member of the Financial Services Committee, so his affectiveness is nothing but a dog-n-pony show. He has nothing to contribute until the Senate votes on the bailout.

What would they be saying about Obama if he did any of the following things that the McCain/Palin campaign has done????
1. What if Obama, the black man, had a daughter who was having a baby out of wedlock to a sideways cap-wearing young man?
2. What if Obama was trying to skip out on the all-important debate that Americans have waited a long time to see, b/c he says he wanted to go fix the economy, the same economy he recently said was fine and recently said he knew very little about?
3. What if Obama kept doing a razzle dazzle every time something negative was happening in his campaign?
4. What if Obama threw vulgar and deceptive ads out that said McCain or Palin wanted to teach perverted sex to young children???

It is amazing and ludicrous that this is not a landslide lead for Obama yet. He apparently has no room for error, as the racists are looking for a reason to vote for McCain.

A president should be able to multitask. Obama has been doing it for the past 11 days,talked to members of house and preident Bush. some of his idea's were put on the bill. Caps on CEO's. helping middle class to keep their homes. Why can't McCain multitask also.McCain went to Washington and caused it all to fall through, running from office to office, Republicains were set against each other. Couldn't get in the committee rom as wasn't a part of it. SAD

McCain is economic policies are responsible for the mess we are in now. Then if you look at McCain 70 plus and Palin is the back up. There is no rational person who would want this. I wont watch the debates even though I was looking forwards to them. McCain has sold himself to the snake oil salesmen of Bush, he has lost all sense of morals and truth didn't pick a women who is qualified but hope to play off sex. I can't say how disappointed I've become with McCain. His campaign is putting lip stick on a PIG.

People get your heads out of the ground. A debate can be rescheduled. Washington Mutual just bit the dust. I pay as a taxpayer both McCain and Obama a salary as a senator first. They both better earn it!!!!

Bob Barr is looking better and better. From open secrets.org we see the top recipients from banking and finance to be:

Obama, Barack (D)$2,102,643
McCain, John (R)$1,890,574
Clinton, Hillary (D-NY)$1,573,558
Dodd, Christopher J (D-CT)$527,444

Oh and though he is not my choice, I do have to applaud Ron Paul for NOT even making the list.

Wake up all you idiots. It is bigger than the freaking debate!!

Multitasking=doing several things poorly at once

Mr. Obama is such a light weight in the Senate and has taken so much money from the mortgage company executives he should be the one running for cover.
Of course he wants the debates, he is an empty suit in the Senate and is much better on talking points than solving problems.

McCain is a joke. Just last month he stated the economy is sound.. now he has to rush off to DC to "save the sound economy." He chose Palin as a running mate, his lack of good judgement speaks volumes.

I THINK MCCAIN IS RUNNING SCARED, HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ECONOMY. THESE DEBATES ARE VERY INPORTANT FOR AMERICANS, AND OBVIOUSLY HES JUST TRYING TO BUY HIMSELF SOME TIME BECAUSE HE IS SO WEAK ON THE ECONOMY. OBAMA WILL KICK HIS BUTT.

Why would anybody vote for John McCain?  Do we want more of the same?   Obama has met with several of the best economists, let them try to fix this mess,  along with Obama and Biden, they are reformers.  McCain has never been for regulation and thats such a hugh part of  this mess.
