That was an outstanding slapdown! Well phrased, well written, and, well, true.

I think Senator McCain needs to start stressing that his plan gives people a way to afford at least basic health care while Senator Obama’s plan leaves people who can’t fit health insurance premiums into their budget without insurance. We can forget the Federal government being able to help people under the Obama plan with lowering premiums any time soon. And no, I don’t buy his argument that cutting down on paper by utilizing a national database with our health care information is going to cut down on medical costs. First, I’m not sure all that many people are going to want their health information in a national database and even if it works, the medical industry will find another way to spend the money it saves. They won’t lower health care costs.

What? Link?

I also gave Senator Obama a half point for noticing the audience was showing interest in how Senator McCain was bringing the audience into his answers by talking to and approaching them and quickly adopting that method into his answers.

Having seen the format of tonight’s debate, the week questions, and Tom’s incompetence as a moderator, i can’t help but would have happened if this debate had been held in China too? Would some public executions improve future debates?

:=D


Also… these 3 bloated eels, Beckell, Morris, & Luntz need to slither back to the sewers they crawled from. Why does FNC keep inviting these wretched secretions back on their show to let them vomit all over the microphone & camera? As if we give a plague-puckered rat’s end what they have to say? Surely they can find people that can make intelligent commentary or produce a scientific poll?

Of course, he won’t say that two-term President Bill Clinton created that surplus because he had this country on the right track.

Obama never gives credit to Bill Clinton, and people wonder why Clinton doesn’t go out of his way to endorse that clown. Everytime Obama is asked about a President he admires, he always talks about Reagan.

Clinton has a foundation that fights AIDS all around the world, malaria in Africa, and the best Dem President this country has had in a long time. Obama should be kissing Bill’s ass for an endorsement. He isn’t even on Bill’s level, but Obama’s arrogant supporters act like he owes Obama something, when it’s the exact opposite.

Brokaw should not have “addendum-ed” on to the questions. His add-ons were not useful and too media elite/highbrow. Let the people ask!!!

Additionally, Brokaw should have interupted them both when they went over their allotted time. Or else, a loud beeper/air horn should’ve gone off. The pace was far too slow and added to the boring quotient.

Brokaw gets an F, yes.
