McCain you need to stop lying. I truly believe you and Ms. Palin are making complete fools of yourselves. Get a grip people listen to the issues, who has the solutions. Senator Obama is our guy.
#1 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:50 PM EDTdito
Agreed. We know about factcheck.org Senator McCain (and if not that The Daily Show). I don’t mind poetic license, but his stump speech rehash instead of answers is insulting.
Anyone who gets their facts from The Daily Show must not know how to do their own research. I don't feel comfortable relying on a guy to just "talk things out" with terrorists from other countries. But then again, he might be able to work things out with them since they're friends...
I full agree with the comment about McCain/Palin. Now Mrs. McCain has the chutzpah to say that Senator Obama has waged the "dirtiest campaign in American history." (!!!) Please explain!?! Palin: Person with pastor problems (Thomas Muthee, of the 'laying on of the hands' fame) and terrorist problems (Alaska separatists) accuses Sen. Obama of having issues with pastors and terrorists. Get your head out of the spa mudpack, Cindy!!
Check and Mate. Nice show, McCain isn't even on his level. The time of republican fear mongering and lies is over. Quick question, if McCain has all these answers like he claims, why after 30 YEARS in the senate has he enacted NONE. You know how to catch Bin Laden?!?! Why not tell your buddy BUSH then.

....obama got smoked..(?)
lol. Even my best friend (who is conservative) admitted that Obama kicked butt.
By the way, no teleprompter. Never stammered once. Nice try though.
Comment collapsed by the communitySo Backa-Backa's your pet name for McCain?
McCain's wife is a druggie, so okay, it's not him who's popping the pills.
He's not gay, but he overcompensates big time for his perceived inadequacies.
What's left?...
Oh, yeah! McCain wasn't born in the US! You're right on the money about something.
I wish someone would bar "russ reed66" from making comments. He can dislike a candidate all he wants, but he should be mature with his comments.. he comes off as highly unintelligent and incapable of partaking in mature discussion.
That's not even born in the United States.....
Oh Russ? Umm Obama was born in Hawaii. Hawaii. Last time I checked Hawaii is one of our states here IN the United States.
the truth will come out...and it did. You posted false statements, not facts..
I'm voting for "THAT ONE" along with his VP who had non-essential "HAIR TRANSPLANTS" even though I may or may not have ever heard about Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about Obamas ties to William Ayers and the Rev Wright. What real qualifications does the "messiah" have to be the President of the United States. This guy could not pass a background check to work for the FBI and we are going to give him the keys to the United States of America (the same country his wife was never proud of and his pastor called the US of KKK A). Not one person from his past has come out to speak on his behalf, that alone tells me all I need to know about the person.
Who LOOKED more presidential? Is that how the Democrats are deciding on who to vote for now? ;)
McCain has certainly lost tonight's debate! He is so "old school" and that's not what this country needs. He has no clarity in thought on any subject put before him. I almost feel sorry for him.
#2 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:51 PM EDTMcCain shot himself in the foot. He says he doesn't want to raise taxes on anyone, and in fact, he wants to give tax cuts and rebates for citizens. Oh, and he wants to cut spending... How can you spend when nothing is coming in? Am I crazy or is he trying to put the governement more indebt? I can see the dollar weakening by the minute......
#3 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:55 PM EDTJohn McCain is as pompous as George Bush. Do they teach that in Republican school?
#4 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:55 PM EDTMcCain is a puke. I look at him with his 7 houses and think to myself, I can't even afford a plane ticket to Duluth and I work EVERYDAY. What the heck does he know about my problems? Not a DARN THING.
#5 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:56 PM EDTI agree we should take away his wife's money and give it to you but why don't we start with say...Oprah or Brad Pitt maybe Al Gore he has made 100,000,000.00 off global warming so far...
That's "eleven" houses, Kath...
Cheers!
Obama makes Marxism sound so good doesn't he?
#6 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:57 PM EDTyou are so ignorant
YES AND HE PULLED THE RACE CARD. HE IS SELLING US UP THE RIVER AND THE DELUSIONAL DEMS ARE ON THE BOAT. THERES YOUR SIGN
yes...he does but, which one? Groucho? Zeppo? Harpo?
you're truely...a spiritual leader to Republicans...
MikeDMD
I wonder if you know what the definition of Marxism is? In short it is the theory that gaining control of the economy by taking it from the wealthy to benefit those with less may lead to a classless, utopian society. I have heard nothing from Obama to indicate that he is a Marxist.
Wanting everyone to have universal health care is not socialized medicine. Nowhere has he said that under his administration the health care system will be taken over and run by the government as the republicans would like you to believe. What else is he suppose to socialize? Can you give me another example because I cannot think of one?
The republicans would make you think socialism is a dirty word - a horrible system to live under. European countries like Great Britain, Norway, France employ social programs and are doing quite well. The English have socialized medicine and EVERYONE benefits from it. You want your own insurance, you can get it. And isn't it nice to know that if you do not have a job with benefits or the money to afford it, you have it? Unlike here in America where if you don't have a job with benefits or don't have the money for it, you have nothing?
Isn't that doing for the "common good?" Something we Americans have not thought about since Bush II took office?
How much would the $5K tax credit give me back on $56K salary with 1 deduction? Any mathmatics guru's out there?
#7 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:57 PM EDTnothing, of course! but you know that, right?
No, I am very serious. I think it would be about $50, right?
Depends on where you hit in the tax tables on net income and at where the credit is applied. I am no tax expert, but I think you can figure the "best case" scenario buy look at last years tables for your old net - then subtract the 5k from the net and check the table again.
Adams, she is right it would be nothing as the Senator would pay the insurance companies directly who already have jacked up premiums to absorb the payments. He isn't giving anyone squat unless you own a Health Insurance outfit.
My last emplyer paid my insurance premiun for me, which at the time was over $600, and I paid the family portion. Now that tab is $1300 a month. How is no tax on $5000 going to help me pay $15600 a year in health insurance premiums?
The way I see a tax credit of any kind is that it is a deduction on my income tax. The $5,000 tax credit McCain is promoting does not give me the cash in hand I need to buy the insurance. Needing a family plan, which averages around $12,000 or more a year, where am I going to get the additional $7,000?
I wish that Both Obama and McCain would descuss illeagle immigrants and how to protect our borders. We all know what is going on now with the economy lets get to other things now.
#8 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:57 PM EDTMcCain dances around the answer to questions. Obama is more pointed.
#9 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:57 PM EDTAre you watching the same debate, what does Obama stand for. I want to vote for the guy but I dont know what he will do.
What is McCain continually writing with that trusty Sharpie of his????? Is it his way of handling the stress of looking like a buffoon compared to Obama? Of keeping his temper under control????
#10 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:58 PM EDTHe's doodling the phrase "Mrs. Sarah Palin-McCain" inside a big heart. :)
LOL
I Heart U Mantaraytx
Ah hahaha. Thanks for the giggle Mantaraytx.
You are a sick man Mantaraytx, LOVE IT!!!
He has to use the Sharpee because he doesn't want wear his glasses on stage. They make him look like Mr. Magoo!
He uses the Sharpie to avoid giving the respect that Obama deserved by watching him as Obama gives his answers, just as Obama gave undeserved respect to McCain by watching him when he gave his answers!
Obama/Biden '08
I'm sorry to say this but the vaunted John McCain appears to have morphed into a bubbling old man.
Especially on the Health Care issue.
#11 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:59 PM EDTObama is brillant, but all he has been able to do is defend himself because McCain keeps beating the same dead horse and patting himself on the back......"I" did this "I" did that....blah, blah...all air no substance!
#12 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:59 PM EDTAnd one other thing about the debate is and I think its been said already but I'm NO friend of McCain. For I don't even know the man.
#13 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 9:59 PM EDTMr. McCain must have been locked up in a time capsule for the past eight years. Cronies?, Croneyism? Barack has answered the questions flat out, while McCain starts by pointing his finger at Obama. Time is running out and he has yet to give a straight answer. If he knows how to make changes, where has he been all this time? By the way, it's a goof thing he didn't try to become a comedian. His sad attempt at levity only makes him look foolish.
#14 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:00 PM EDTI'm bewildered with the political process. How much lower can John McCain go with all his rhetoric. Vipers crawling on the ground I suppose.
#15 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:01 PM EDTForce for good means we can invade and occupy any country any time. Not everyone wants democracy and who are we to tell them they should?
#16 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:01 PM EDTAre you suggesting that we should not have "invaded" France in WWII to turn back Hitler? Or that we should ignore genocide even when we can do something about it? That we should become an isolationist nation? Please explain.
Of course not! DE was already in FR and many other EU countries and it was our moral obligation to help them. But, of course, neither did we invade MX to stop the Nazis, nor did we invade PA to stop JP. [If you are unfamiliar with the international country codes, you probably do not travel nearly as frequently as I; but, you can "go on the internets to do a search on the googles" (G.W. Bush). Remember when everyone wanted to 'bomb, bomb, bomb; bomb, bomb, Iran'? for the OKC incident (when patience, investigative police work [not military intervention], and pre-frontal lobe usage brought out the truth? [Unfortunately, after 911, all the evidence was sold as scrap metal to China despite ground zero being a crime scene...so no real investigation was ever completed. Using your pre-frontal lobes to instantiate neural activity for this very purpose is what separates us from the lower primates, Republicans and Democrats.
You've evaded the substance of the question. When is it our moral obligation to invade, and when is it our obligation to mind our own business. as you said, some countries do not want to be "saved" by America...
You say we didn't invade Europe to stop Hitler? The why did they call it the D-Day invasion?
No, I don't now the country codes, and I suspect quite a few others here can't either because we haven't been fortunate to go overseas, so don't patronize us by trying to show off. It's what we dislike about McCain. Similarly, I had to look up the word "instantiate" and found it is not even in my Webster's. And when I did, I still couldn't figure out what you mean by "instantiate neural activity." Wiktionary defines instantiate as follows:
to instantiate (third-person singular simple present instantiates, present participle instantiating, simple past and past participle instantiated)
The first definition says to explain an idea by giving a concrete example. Hmm. Doesn't seem to fit. Do you mean "to create brain action"? In other words, are you using opaque words to say no more than "use your brain to think?" Why the obfuscation? And what truth will we find? And by thinking find the truth? This turns full circle to the question raised at the beginning of this missive: what is truth, when is war a moral war?
Or are you attemting to demonstrate how the politicians hide the truth that they have no answers?
McCain does not know anything about economics, and he keeps trying to relate to people by always saying my friends. It is hard to believe that he can relate to me when he has seven houses and does not wear the pants in the family. How can he lead a country when he does not know how many houses he has. Also, do not get me started on Palin.
#17 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:03 PM EDTYet again, MacCain is short on ANY specifics - just broad strokes about "fixing the problems" and "blue ribbon panels" and "setting up commissions" - nothing specific beyond his attacks on his opponent. I supported his bid in 2000, but this isn't the same man at all. Obama is stating specifically wehat he will do and how he will pay for it. I have to trust the man with a real plan, against the guy with pandering platitudes.
#18 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:03 PM EDTAMEN
Here sure loves those blue ribbon panels doesn't he? He's like a 4H judge.
McCain/Palin can not answer a direct question, just expousing how great they are and trying to feed on the sympathy side of the question. No direct answer, just how great they are and he is always convinced that his record he can stand, now he is talking about the surge, national security and experience.
shame on him-he has no facts but just stump speech.
vote obama who is giving you solutions and how it can be done)or stay in the mud like you are now.
obama won, as soon as mccain opened his mouth
#19 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:03 PM EDT
McCain’s comment, “Nailing Obama down to a tax policy is like nailing jell-o to the wall”, is a good example of McCain’s inability to answer any given question and lack of creativity. There are hundred’s of ways to nail jell-o to the wall, just a couple examples are: make the jell-o, freeze it and nail the frozen jell-o to the wall, nail a shelf to the wall and place the bowl of jell-o on the shelf, make jell-o jiggler and nail the jell-o jiggler to the wall. I find Obama full of positive ideas that are realistic solutions to the problems of Americans and McCain full of negative comments directed at Obama, in attempts to make Obama look bad, rather than address the issues.
#20 - Tue Oct 7, 2008 10:05 PM EDTBrenda I was ROTFLMAO on the "hundred ways to nail jell-o to the wall," that was really great! I couldn't breathe!
