Post-Debate Analyses [Update Qs & Thoughts]

FOX is giving Mac kudos but also asking if it’s enough.

Barry had no choice but to LIE HIS ASS OFF about kicking off his state senate campaign in Bill Ayer’s living room.

Typical Barry: Lie, Spin, Hide in Nuance.

Let’s see if the media follows up on this fact – not.

GOOOOOOOOO MAC!

McCain was on his game — he called Obama on his lies.

Thankfully I won’t have to listen to Obama-Soetoro again.

I wonder if anyone will be listing all of Obama’s lies from TONIGHT?

Get rid of Juan Williams. He makes me ill.

Susan, thank you and Larry for providing the streaming coverage (fantastic!) and the welcoming place to hang out with the people. You’ve enriched this political season for all of us.

I believe that McCain came out the winner tonight, he attacked Obamas record, and Obamas stuttering responses don’t sit well. Obama cannot debate without having a teleprompter in front of him, he can’t speak off the cuff. Obamas views are right along communist lines, and that is one place I don’t want to even think about going. McCain & Palin in 08 11

Every comment I’ve read, so far, at Greta Wire is kudos to John McCain.
Poll number
John McCain 92%
Barack Obama 5%

Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched it until Schieffer started giving Obama a free stage to sing his own praises. I always find it hilarious when Obama starts trying to defend himself by accusing the opposition of the very thing he’s doing. He’s run such a clean campaign, dontcha know? What a farce.

You know how I know Barry is exactly like Bush, I have to mute the sound every time he speaks, he makes me literally sick just like I’ve done every time GB spoke for the last 8 years.

This is not going to last. Obama is “THE ONE” so his poll numbers will be askew.

Also consider that even with his outrageous “leads” on these Internet polls, Obama supporters are rabid and will do all they can to make these polls look better than they really are. Ron Paul supporters pulled this tactic during the primaries and Obama supporters are simply carrying on the tradition.

Double dittos. And please, Susan, remind us all to donate to the website tomorrow for this great privilege. Thank you…it’s way, way past my bedtime.

Mac Is Back!

CNN
McCain puts Obama on the spot

Agreed. Bush is not finish…

Attack by Mac starts first thing in the AM?

Please?

I have been ready and waiting for a long time!

JMc made several great points already mentioned on these posts, plus a few more.
Education is the civil rights issue of our time. It does no good to make all schools open to everyone but inner city students are forced to attend substandard schools. We need to provide vouchers. Look what’s happening in D.C. (BO: well, the D.C. schools have a great new Superintendent; JMc: Yes, and she supports vouchers…); balancing the budget beginning with an across-the-board spending freeze – the hatchet – with fine-tuning afterward – the scalpel (BO: That’s not the way to do it; JMc: Well, Mayor Bloomberg did this in NYC and mayors across the country are doing this..)

CNN says McCain won the first thirty minutes, hands down.

Most are saying McCain was on offense, aggressive, eloquent; Obama was professorial and ponderous.

I think McCain had his best night ever–he ended on a high note.

Obama’s “reaction shots” looked just short of Al Gore’s sighs (and I like Gore).

Of course, the theme is that Obama must win, which is why McCain always got the tough questions FIRST.

Watch the debate again, and you’ll see that half the time, he REPEATS, for his answer, what McCain ALREADY SAID.

Best JM line: “I AM NOT GEORGE W. BUSH.”

JEEEEZ….I wish Clinton were the D candidate. The BEST CANDIDATE stayed home.

McCain rocked tonight. Obama ducked, weaved and rope-a-doped all night. The Mac is definitely on a roll now. Go John!

Did anyone pickup on BHOs saying something like a DRAFT for the young into a civilian or military service situation.

Well, that must have been pretty early on, Tek! What, like after the first five minutes? Sheesh – such blatant bias, letting Obama go on, and on,and on, and on abt NOTHING. Oh, wait – after he said, “Ditto” to John.

What a liar. He is just a bald-faced liar.

Did you notice how often the camera would have him dead in the center, like he was all by himself? He knew it, too – you could see him sit up and try to look presidential. Blech.

I agree. The streaming coverage was cool. Thank you NQ.

McCain was great tonight. Loved it!!

Yes, I still don’t know what he’s going to do with the money he takes from the upper middle class, like the plumber. He just keeps saying he’s going to take money from people who’ve managed to make a good living and give it to teachers & nurses, etc. But what for? That’s what he isn’t saying. I believe nurses and teachers make just as much money as that plumber.

When Obama says he’s going to “help the people behind you,” he means he’s going to take our money and give it to people who don’t work or work illegally so they don’t make a subsistence wage. There’s a better way to give everyone opportunity.

The bottom line is that this election is now about..

Joe the Plumber!

Thank YOU so much! We get a lot of joy out of working on this blog with all of you, each other, and the great group of writers.

[As to the comment above: I would love to think this is the last time we have to hear from Barky. Let's just hope it comes true on November 4th.]

IF WE DO THE LIVE STREAMING AGAIN, I think we need to add another server. It’s expensive to do that, but if Fox News provides us live streaming again — say for election night — we’re all ready to go with extra server muscle!

Weak Overall.

McCain didn’t get up and kick barack in the balls, so he loses.

Obama had more grey frosted into his hair today at the salon so he wins.

Somone on another message board asked:

“How long can Obama keep lying to the american people about his past, his record and his proposals?”

Sadley, the answer is until he is anointed. Only then will the MSM begin to vet.

“I’m not Pres Bush. If you wanted to run against Pres Bush you should’ve run 4 years ago.”

Go Mac!

Yes, THANK YOU, Susan and Larry and NQ for hosting this for us this evening! This has been great and I was able to keep my nerves from getting the best of me by being in a warm and sympathetic community like this.

Y’all are great!

Just took a look around the “liberal media” sites that live blogged the debate. Common sentiment:

Some version of: Mr. Obama doesn’t address the issues raised.

But the most common sentiment: obama was cool mccain was angry.

Yup. The “liberal media” didn’t bother changing the script they used in the last two debates.

notice obama took the Chavez line when talking about COLUMBIA! A S
OCIALIST TO THE CORE

Clinton Fan: me too. I didn’t hear Obama say anything brilliant for all that the media try to make him out to be the Second Coming.

I don’t get it, it still seems like Fox is beating up on McCain!

I am offended that Obama thinks he should draft our kids but he didn’t serve. He doesn’t volunteer for anything. He barely gives to charity.

Obama kept laughing at him like a spoiled brat who thinks that the shape of our country is “funny”.

Sadley, the answer is until he is anointed. Only then will the MSM begin to vet.

You are pretty optimistic. The “liberal media” didn’t stop praising bush until well in to his second term and he still hasn’t been vetted. But if that fraud is crowned king I hope you are right.

you are surprised?

The sheep of ameria will be convinced by tomorrow night that Barack Won overwhelmingly and McCain was angry bitter and racist.

COme on…look this is the first election where your responsibility to understand the issues requires you to go beyond the Main Stream Propoganda arm of the Obama Campaign and learn the information for yourself.

My favorite moment.

Obama wants to raise taxes like Hoover and cause a depression.

McCain rules- ” I am not president Bush- if you wanted to run, you should have done so 4 years ago. “

Go vote at Fox.com too…another poll there trying to best DK.

Frank Luntz asked how many undecideds now leaned to Obama, and 4 raised their hands, so Luntz chirps, “good night for Obama.”

What about the other 19 people? One woman shrugged when Lutz said that.

I think I just figure out why Obama always does better at the end of the debate.

He never shuts up!! If you pay attention, you will see that he used up at least 65% of the minutes. When you sit there hearing someone go on and on and on, you will get irritated, as you can see happen to McCain. He’s kind of off message at the end.

Lesson, don’t debate with a BSter. Not in front of MSM who will just let Obama keep yapping away anyway.

I was a very strong and loyal supporter of Sen. Clinton, but for the life of me, I don’t understand why she has to go out of her way to promote someone who has so abused her and continue to abuse women in general.

If he gets in the WH (I won’t say elected, because ain’t no way) you can expect tons of stuff like this. He’ll be stickin’ it to Whitey every way he can. White people who vote for this clown will be kicking themselves.

He never did say which programs exactly he would not implement. I notice he never talks about Faith BAsed Initiative or Neighborhood Project anymore.

I am supprised because as a life long Dem I never watched Fox because I thought they were so in the bag for the GOP.

So to see them ripping one of their own is shocking.

I thought a telling comment from the undecided group on FOX was from a man who thought Obama won but doesn’t trust him.

I watched on Fox..
Apparently I didn’t watch the same debate as some of the commentators are thinking Obama won this.
I thought McCain was spot on tonight…..

I’ll second that.

Any one else ever wonder why Obamah is always mentioned before McCain, even though M is before O in the Alphabet? Like “Obama, McCain”. Also, why is Obama’s picture always in front of Mac’s? Any one else pick up on these things?

Yup.

What the nyts caucus blog said:
A Relentless McCain | 9:50 p.m. Mr. Obama seems kind of astounded at Mr. McCain’s repetitions of things that he thought he had put to rest — Mr. Ayers, tax increases. Mr. Obama keeps looking at Mr. Schieffer with eyes wide, as if to say, can you believe it?

I bet they all dropped their monocles when mccain went after obama’s horrible choices for friends.

Obama has paid fox off.

FOX IS IN THE BAG FOR OBAMA!

Luntz’s group…4 move to Obama…

I read that CBS said it wasn’t Obama’s best night…Dee Dee Myers saying a strong night for McCain…

You and me both cathnealon… My BP goes up if I see or hear him!

” Good night for Obama “– more like good… bye! Say hello to President McCain.

I think McCain did very very well. Not as good as I expected in a lot of instances but good enough to get at least his point across. I would have liked a little stronger on the issue of filthiness against Sarah Palin and the issue of the t-shirts. But at least he got in the word t-shirt.

McCain did a very good contrast with BO, in simple terms and exposed him for what he is, an ultra left liberal that want to have his way with our money and our lives. McCain exposed BO as a controlling personality and exposed the Dem Congress as a dangerous institution willing to spend as much as they can get through legislation.

Thank God for McCain. I hope people can see through BO and run away from him. I hope so.

They sure are.

My friend just emailed me and said that Obama totally won the debate tonight because McCain was too negative.

The MSM brainwashing is really working.

Just as many people don’t want to publicly be against the black guy, no one in that room was willing to be anything but those 4 for Barry.

Charles whatshisname…it was a dead draw therefore a resounding win for Obama????Huh????

Me Too! Clinton, our answer to our country’s problems! Obama, repeater. He sure looked sick.

it was not weak Jeremiah. He hit obama on funding over a million to ACORN.
He said ACORN is in the process of shredding our democracy. You guys have impossible expectations. Obama rambled and rambled.
McCain nailed him on his Born Alive Vote. McCain nailed him over and over for “spread the wealth”
Mccain nailed him for John Lewis. Obama said who cares.
Obama came off very arrogant and smirking.
The bush line was golden. Obama looked detached.
Mccain cannot do whole debate about associations for US and the media to pick through. The economy is in the shitter and McCain needed to talk about that.
He made very good points on Free Trade and hit him for saying he would unilateraly shut down NAFTA.

The press will say what they will. Tonight Mac did what most poeple said. Now their complaining because he did not make a whole economic debate on A preacher. Ayers really has not worked. It is time for the outside groups to nail him. McCain has run ads and Palin has mentioned it all week.
You guys act like they will cover it more than they already have just because McCain says it.

they want to hedge their bets incase the fairness doctrine is dusted off they need to make sure Oriely has a job still.

McCain won. Obama is an idiot.

McCain/Palin 2008!

Hillary Clinton Supporter going for McCain 2–8! Women are the key to McCain victory!

Great fun, Susan and Larry. What fun can you provide for us on election night?
Thank you!

If I was a betting person, I would say that all the other people in Frank Luntz’ forum that did not raise their hands for Oblahblah when asked if their minds were changed are voting for McCain.

Brit Hume is much classier than Keith Overbite.

Can anybody help me out with a comment that BO said in regards to Autism. It was during the first 20 minutes.

Please!!

John McCain was strong, decisive and hit home on every single point.

Obama was sweating!

Obama even bashed Fox in the middle of the debate. They have money going into their pockets big time.

Felizarte: I don’t understand why Hillary and Bill want to stay in the Dem Party after those people have kicked them every which way but Sunday. I can’t believe the New Democrats will ever give Hillary a chance to run for anything again. Wish she’d run with McCain and started a new party.

They got in bed with Murdoch.

I feel McCain won. Obama just talked about I I I.
I hate all these people talking so bad about McCain!

They are… and I turned them off.

I think the biggest problem McCain has is Obama is the smoothest talking liar he has ever come across in a debate on a nationals stage.

How many lies did Obama respond with. This was just incredible. What is McCain going to do, call him a bold faced liar on national television? He already has the media painting him as angry…

Just compare the closing statements and you will see who is more honorable. Obama had to get his dig in.

They got in bed with Murdoch.

Where is Sean Hannity???

Who else thinks it’s eery when Obama starts smirking, grinning broadly when he’s been caught. Is that the Chicago way of condescendingly brushing off a “gotcha?”. That smile is disconcerting — it’s instantly pasted on when he’s trying to dismiss troublesome issues. I find it annoying and artificial. McCain, for all flaws in debate skills, comes across as more human, someone who can feel our pain. McCain won–even if he can’t go all the way, given the force of the machine that wants to roll over McCain/Palin, I am proud of the candidate I support. We have nothing to regret in backing McCain. Smart, funny, fun-loving. He’s a winnner already.

Obama came across smoother and didn’t drift quite as much as before, and since his only goal was to keep an even keel, he succeeded. McCain tried to take it to him, but as many, including myself, have said here, the debates are not for knock-out punches. That is media hype. If McCain has come on any stronger, the media would rip him a new one for being “angry, accusatory, and off topic.”

Mac did good. I still say the best is yet to come, and if you expected a big drama tonight, you were hyped.

when you have no place else to go….

….and i say that as a very strong clinton supporter.

obama lied about his health care plan.

He said there would be a penalty if somebody waited to sign up for his plan. obama won’t say how much.

Tonight he told joe the plumber he would not be fined because small biz are excempt if they don’t provide health care. But if joe the plumber waits to get health care he, joe the plumber, will pay a fine, joe’s company that doesn’t provide health care won’t pay a fine but joe the plumber will.

That’s a huge lie by obama. Good thing for him the “liberal media” has endless amounts of white wash and wall paper.

scorbs, I saw that too and wondered WTF?!

4 out of 23 undecided people are now supporting Obama, so that means he had a “good night”? And earlier, when he asked how many people thought Obama won, I would say half or less raised their hand – and Luntz said “An overwhelming majority.”

That absolutely confounded me.

Don’t delude yourselves my dear peers….Obama won because COOLER…..NOT BETTER (as it should be).

Unfortunately for freedom, I think it is clear that all the average American care about is TO SHUT THE MEDIA UP AND STOP CRITICIZING AMERICA FOR EVERYTHING AND ASSOCIATING EVERYTHING BAD WITH CONSERVATIVES.

AMERICAN CAN’T STAND THE NEGATIVE IMAGE THE MEDIA HAS GIVEN US…….THEY THINK BY VOTING THIS TERRORIST OBAMA INTO OFFICE WILL DO JUST THAT!

They can’t stand being associated with another innarticulate white guy anymore.

I know….pathetic but I’m sure its true. America is dead and the bootie is about to be divied up by the Liberal Fascists……..Freedom is dead because americans believe their comfort and image is more important is FREEDOM and their security. God please help us.

Oh gosh, I wouldn’t pause on CNN or MSNBC on my cable tv guide tonight. Obama looked like a sweaty drunk and I think that a lot of voters are going to be unpleased with his “In like Flynn” attitude tonight. These silly pundits can say whatever they want, but McCain is going to win. The election is still too close considering the Bradley Effect. Just hold tight a few more days folks.

It’s because McCain was never really one of their own. He really is a maverick who is not beholden to the conservatives. He does not run with their agendas to the extent that they would like. And basically, they don’t like him. On the surface they sometimes act like they want him to win, but deep down many of them want him to fail.

Well if he is elected, it is a sad for America..I predict, impeaxhment, scadals, major economic melt-down, Congress out of control. riots from Soetoro’s thug supporters, Larry Sincalir types popping out all over the place, foriegn crisis and challenges because of this effete’s sad sack approach. (man, poor us) In this time of a major leader, we end up with a phony messiah.

Tek, I love your idea!! McCain and Hillary–third party!

yeah, he monopolized the conversation… he gets high off of his own voice.

Don’t delude yourselves my dear peers….Obama won because COOLER…..NOT BETTER (as it should be).

Unfortunately for freedom, I think it is clear that all the average American care about is TO SHUT THE MEDIA UP AND STOP CRITICIZING AMERICA FOR EVERYTHING AND ASSOCIATING EVERYTHING BAD WITH CONSERVATIVES.

AMERICAN CAN’T STAND THE NEGATIVE IMAGE THE MEDIA HAS GIVEN US…….THEY THINK BY VOTING THIS TERRORIST OBAMA INTO OFFICE WILL DO JUST THAT!

They can’t stand being associated with another innarticulate white guy anymore.

It helps Obama to have several Millions of people not speeking English and relying on the Fascist media for interpretation.

I know….pathetic but I’m sure its true. America is dead and the bootie is about to be divied up by the Liberal Fascists……..Freedom is dead because Americans believe their comfort and image is more important than their FREEDOM and their security. God please help us.

“Only me and the lever knows.”
That’s the answer from Joe the Plumber on CBS.

That’s why I think McCain will win.
People say they are going to vote for Obama, but in private, will vote for McCain.

Well if he is elected, it is a day sad for America..I predict, impeaxhment, scadals, major economic melt-down, Congress out of control. riots from Soetoro’s thug supporters, Larry Sincalir types popping out all over the place, foriegn crisis and challenges because of this effete’s sad sack approach. (man, poor us) In this time of a major leader, we end up with a phony messiah.

Daily Kos and other Bot bloggers put up a list of media polls, with links, before the debate is even over, so the Obama supporters can freep those polls.

Follow the Drudge poll. Kos always forgets to add that one, and it shows McCain winning every time.

McCain wasn’t talking to the people who are already going to vote for Obama, the people who would vote for him even if the Pope was found dead in his trunk. He’d just say John Lewis must have done it and his supporters would all testify Obama was at their house, checking the plumbing, when it all went down.

No, the Mac was talking to the rest of us, those who want to see the fighter pilot (and we did) and those who are still sitting on the fence, propped up there by the Three Four Blind Mice of Broadcasting (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN).

It doesn’t bother me at all that people who are already caught in the rapture will praise the “O” — let them. They’re not going to elect John McCain and Sarah Palin (if anybody saw her interview in New Hampshire, she was incredible, kicking ass).

The rest of us are.

By the way, there was only one “O” who deserved the name and that was Oscar Robinson, not Barack Obama.

Which has nothing to do with anything, true. Just thought I’d toss it in there. Feeling good.

Let’s all figure out what we can do tomorrow to win this election.

Stand up!!!!

John McCain my HERO once again!

What a classy man (McCain)
What a classy woman (Palin)

THEY GET MY VOTE!

i hope someone interviews JOE W. barky lied through his teeth about their conversation

I was pleased that Sen. McCain finally clearly addressed issues that are important to all of us. I was getting calls from friends – re: I AM NOT GEORGE BUSH IF YOU WANTED TO RUN AGAINST HIM YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SO 4 YEARS AGO! ! !………….ABOUT TIME.
I ALSO WAS PLEASED AT McCain’s civil attacks on Obama’s words and record. I felt more could have been done on the abortion issue – but McCain got his point across. I think Sen. McCain my candidate did a GREAT job.

He wants a Obama Citizen police dept, for young people that all love Obama. That way they can inform on people that aren’t down with the Obama program, sort of a Hitler Youth

Yes – I asked that same question tonight. EVERY time he is introduced first. And did you catch Bob’s intonation introducing BARACK OBAMA and john mccain…

Any one else pick up on these things?

In a word, YES!!!

Anybody who thinks Obama won tonight is frickin’ high!
If Obama won; name ONE memorable thing he said, just one.

I thought McCain threw him off his game…
Obama tends to stumble a bit when he has to think of an answer….
Uh Uh Uh …..

Well it’s a double edged sword. If McCain does nothing he looks like he’s given up. If he’s too aggressive people will talk about it that way. McCain was more agressive than I thought he would be. He was harder on Mitt Romney.

Something is rotten in the state of Fox.
Those beltway boys are completely a#@holes.
The put their pathetic egos above their country in the most self agrandizing manner I’ve ever seen. Brit Hume appears to be drunk through every broadcast he does. He can’t read his news scripts off the teleprompter. He mispronounces half the words and trips over the rest. Why is that bloviating jackass on the air, anyway? Shepherd Smith seems like he got the worst grades in every class he ever took from kindergarten on up.
I know MSNBC and CNN and the rest are in the toilet tank for Obama. Fox is disgusting.
What the hell are they doing over there? They pretend to be republicans and 2/3 of them are hellbent on maligning McCain and selling Obama. Fuck them!

Read this by Karl Rove (yes, i know) but he makes good points about the polls.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122411909182439021.html?mod=rss_opinion_main

I agree on the remarks after the debate, on FOX.

I thought that McCain did very well, not just well.

I thought that Bo got flushes several times, and had unpleasant looks on his face…he is not used to a sharp jab.

FOX seemed to want MAC to come out and go crazy, and that would have played into the MSM hands…MAC was MAC.

He is a great man, and nothing happened that will prevent MAC from being president.

BO lied his ass off! Flagrantly, and in a regular manner the MSM should come down on the flat out lies…but

I must prepare myself.

Did you notice that Luntz said how many thought Obama won, and 8 or so raised their hands, and he said Obama won…there were 9 or more that did not put their hand up…and a few said they would not vote on someone on the base of the debate….trust.

Mac blew it. He seemed nervous and not angry enough. He also never elaborates. It was frustrating. I couldn’t stand it anymore. Every time I hear Obama’s voice, he reminds me of some Saturday morning cartoon in the 1970′s. I turned the channel to Project Runway Finale. I’m still going to vote for McCaine, though, and try to convince other. I hope for a miracle.

Also, I would like everyone to know (in case you didn’t) that when you are a small business owner, s-Corp or LLC, your profit from your business (yearend) go on your personal tax return. It is very easy to go over $250,000. That does not mean that you made $250,000 that year. That money goes back into Jan. 1 tax year to pay for vendor and payroll, etc. This is very very bad. Obama lying on the stats.

Clinton Fan: me too. I didn’t hear Obama say anything brilliant for all that the media try to make him out to be the Second Coming.

More like sloppy seconds.

I didn’t really say that. I was merely illustrating what I could have said if I were tasteless, which I am not. So… uh, I think I’ll go make that donation to No Quarter right now. Yep. Right now.

Did you guys notice when McCain tried to talk about the t-shirts Obama cut him off mid sentence and the Moderator backed him up. They knew what he was going to say, and that the MSM has not covered it at all.

I think McCain did a great job, but it had to be frustrating to sit next to a pathological liar and not be able to say “Go to my web site and I’ll show you exactly what you need to know about Barack Obama. His record, his lies, his mentors, his vision for America, his political alliances and our questions that continue to be ignored by the Obama camp…it’s all there folks” That is what I would like to have seen.

I do like McCain, and as I was watching him, I have to confess, I am ashamed of my years of not finding out what or who I was supporting. I did not know the agenda of the Left Wing of the party, and I isolated myself in a very smug community with other pseudo-intellectuals, who talked about how bad the GOP is and how mean and self righteous they are.

Truth is, I look around and all I see are mean spirited Democrats who believe without question that they are superior and they are right.They, as a party, are just not capable of bipartisanship.

I have discovered in the last year that yes, there are a lot of Republicans who are religious and their ideaology reflects their beliefs by being Conservative…conversely, the Democrats, by and largge have made their political views their religion, a religion whose moral compass can be shaped at the whim of the Interpretor.

These are probably not the things I should have been thinking during the debate, but I feel very sad that I did not commit myself to this cause a lot sooner and with the fervor I have previously saved for my son’s football games.

I hope the sadness and sense of seeing it all slip away will not be a predictor of the outcome of this Election.
I Love America, and I’m really going to miss it.

Very good article on the lying polls:
http://www.zombietime.com/lefts_big_blunder/

How about the guy that said he wouldn’t vote for Obama because he doesn’t trust him.

Yes, very bad form. Asking young people to join some kind of military service. What’s with that?

You did not see what you thought you saw.

Obama was regal presidential and a lightbringer. He smiled benevolantly as the angry bitter mccain writhed and spat forth lies and smears with bloody spittle shooting from his fang rimmed mouth.

If McCain had not been chaned to his chair under the table who knows who might have been physically harmed by this irrational monster and bomber of innocent vietnamese children.

If you don’t believe me just wait till 24 hours from now and read the MSM walk backs that will clearly show Obama doing spectacular and bringing a new meaning to nuanced while McCain becomes the poster child for crazy unhinged deranged 72 year old serial killers.

From time mags halperin who just hates anything not obama:

McCain has best debate yet in final face-off.
Now: Does it matter?
Mark Halperin’s grades:
McCain: A-
Obama: B

I noticed that too. They kept saying how presidential he appeared, cool, calm, etc.

It is NOT over…there are many, many Americans who truly love this country and who will never, ever vote for the socialist/fascist nobama. Disaffected Hillary supporters, as well as women who have fallen in love with Gov. Palin and what she represents for this country. People who have a special needs child in the family. Women and men who believe that abortion is wrong and who will never vote for someone who voted to leave a newborn to die because of a botched murder abortion.

McCain leads O 74% – 25%

yes i did. the alphabet changes with hope.

but D as in dems is before R as in reps?!!!!! i know i’m trying to fix it ……

McCain is NOT a good debater and is not good about getting his points across and THAT will be held against him. It’s just so tragic that people are voting for the ‘smooth talker’, the one who speaks ‘eloquently’ – REGARDLESS of the issues and his shady, corrupt background.

I am saddened that people in this country can be ‘hoodwinked’ into believing someone who STILL AVOIDS ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS (which he did so AGAIN tonight – and got away with it) just becasue he spoke ‘well’. I thought Americans were smarter than that and could see throught the BS (and his GREAT ability to avoid answering questions) that Obama was spewing.

I thought the commentator let Obama spend MORE time on his answers than McCain – which is typical of these one-sided, biased debates. Sigh…

I am going to be general, and of course I am biased towards McCain. I thought that McCain got the better of every question. I thought he told Americans why “socialism” or government answers and government control was not the answer. It was not a knock out. I actually was glad that Obama did as well as he did and explained his positions as well as he did to all Americans. His college teacher experience held him in good stead — remember, he became a Senior Lecturer at U. of Chicago. (Not a Professor — this position means that you work your butt off teaching and publishing, something Obama never chose to do in any position.)

Pardon my “racism” but Obama in his public presentation is different from the “average” African-American who has been an American leader up to this time, e.g., Jesse Jackson. He has raised the bar immeasurably, for which I am pleased. At the same time, I am not suggesting that we need Columbia- and Harvard-educated African Americans for me to approve of them. I am just as happy with Joe six-pack or hockey- or basketball-Mom African Americans. “Middle-classness” is an important value for all societies that choose democracy. Democracy is not possible without a strong middle class.

I think McCain gave Americans every reason to vote for him when they are by themselves in that voting booth. Almost everyone on Larry Johnson’s blog, both presenters and most commenters (minus trolls), will come to that conclusion. AJ Strata has repeated the truth many times: McCain wants to change Washington [and Wall Street]; Obama wants to change America. I think the majority of Americans will move their marker to McCain-Palin on the ballot after this debate. (And McCain gave a pretty good summary as to why Biden is not “qualified” to “become President” in the event of…, well, you know.

Did you guys notice when McCain tried to talk about the t-shirts Obama cut him off mid sentence and the Moderator backed him up. They knew what he was going to say, and that the MSM has not covered it at all.

I think McCain did a great job, but it had to be frustrating to sit next to a pathological liar and not be able to say “Go to my web site and I’ll show you exactly what you need to know about Barack Obama. His record, his lies, his mentors, his vision for America, his political alliances and our questions that continue to be ignored by the Obama camp…it’s all there folks” That is what I would like to have seen.

I do like McCain, and as I was watching him, I have to confess, I am ashamed of my years of not finding out what or who I was supporting. I did not know the agenda of the Left Wing of the party, and I isolated myself in a very smug community with other pseudo-intellectuals, who talked about how bad the GOP is and how mean and self righteous they are.

Truth is, I look around and all I see are mean spirited Democrats who believe without question that they are superior and they are right.They, as a party, are just not capable of bipartisanship.

I have discovered in the last year that yes, there are a lot of Republicans who are religious and their ideaology reflects their beliefs by being Conservative…conversely, the Democrats, by and large have made their political views their religion, a religion whose moral compass can be shaped at the whim of the Interpretor.

These are probably not the things I should have been thinking during the debate, but I feel very sad that I did not commit myself to this cause a lot sooner and with the fervor I have previously saved for my son’s football games.

I hope the sadness and sense of seeing it all slip away will not be a predictor of the outcome of this Election.
I Love America, and I’m really going to miss it.

klj

your friend was in the tank for obama before the debate. blame your friend and not the media thought they deserve a kick in the tush as well. don’t give your friend an out. get in their face.

according to the freepers, fox is the ones most in the tank for BO after the debate. no surprise there…work for murdoch, obey!

Vanity: What’s up with Fox?
After the debate was over, the “conservative” pundits immediately trashed McCain. This was followed by Frank Luntz, who declared that is focus group idiots loved Obama ..
This is supposed to be the conservative network? I switched over to PBS, and Clarence Page was giving more credit to McCain’s performance than the Fox pundits. Same on CNN…
Comment: I’m done with them. Unbelievable. Once again, after watching a debate I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. Husband said the same thing. It’s like we were watching something totally different

CNN declares McCain the looser according to polls that more democrats participated in.How objective.
They say McCain looked angy and with contempt many time and Obama never lost his cool and smiled.
Well smiled sarcastically.
But as ususal nothing good to say .

JMc had brought up something about one of the pros of having Gov. Palin as a running mate is that she is sensitive to issues of special needs children, including children with autism. BO said, if JMc freezes spending, we won’t provide funds to research autism.

Friends don’t let friends vote for obama.

Remember your country on Nov. 4th.

Obama gets creepier the more I see him. His eyes seem to get darker and darker and he gets more angry as days go by. God help us if he gets elected. We all must vote straight Republican so he can’t control everything or we will all be in BIG trouble if he gets in there. I have hope the American people will not be fooled by Obama but we must protect ourselves and make sure we have a firewall in Congress

I just want to know with the unbelievable amount of media whitewashing of Barack Obama and his lies, how can he in good conscience still claim to be the first AA presidential candidate. Even Michael Jackson would be jealous.

impeachment, scandals

You said, “They can’t stand being associated with another innarticulate white guy anymore.”

I think its very funny that you can’t spell “inarticulate.”

Guys, don’t you understand that if Hillary refused to endorse Obama over McCain and remained with the Democratic Party, she would have NO political future. That means no means of promoting peace and prosperity for this country and no means of accomplishing important legislation.

If you want Hillary to be President in 2012 (as I do), then you have to accept that fact that she cannot repudiate her party or her party’s nominee. She has a political gun to her head, she’s saying what she needs to say to stay in the game. I don’t blame her in the least bit, and I am confident she will privately cast her vote for McCain in November.

you know what is rotten at fox? Obama has been crying about them being tough and even mentioned it again during the debate. Obama paid Fox and got them to postpone the 6th game of the world series for his half hour.

I do not know why anyone cares what they say. Care about how you feel and what you think. The media is doing well in shaping opinion.
Some on here are saying Obama won because he was cool? That is what the media has been telling you Obama is for the last year. Every debate they say this. Obama was not cool. He looked uncomfortable alot.

You don’t understand those idiots and their stupid fair and balance. Brit Hume and his idiots will bash McCain because they know that Hannity and then later on Greta is going to say praises for McCain. Then tomorrow the same stupid thing. One program speaks good about McCain, then the next one bad and so on and so forth. Is idiocy of PLANED CRITICISM.

Fox panel, you know all the talking heads, are spewing Obama mania, giving all the kudos to Obama. Even Kristol bashing McCain.

The Fox people drank some kool-aid. McCain crushed Nobama into tiny pieces. If you look back at Halperin’s other grades, you’ll find that they were extremely close, I think B and B+ or something like this. This score was an A- B which means that Obama didn’t quite make it to even B+ level. McCain crushed him and the media is covering it up. Sickening.

It is sounding like CNN is giving McCain higher marks than Fox are. They have Obama all but elected. That is shocking to me. I’m wondering if its just being more critical of one of your own, these people at this table are all conservs. Clinton is on fox now.

Fox is a business enterprise.
They believe that they can make more money by being in the opposition at this time.
That is why they are encouraging an Obama victory. The economy is bad and 100 days after Obama is elected they can do the same number on him as they did on Clinton. We are all on board with FOX and if Obama steals we will continue to watch.

I have not voted for a winner in an election since 1996. If Obama wins that makes three times for me.
I have noticed that when I’m in the opposition whether it be Bush or Obama I stay more active in politics.

McCain looks so strong tonight, a lot of punches. Did you see BO looking down when he’s been attacked. McCain brought up a lot of charges and BO keep on lying and spinning. After all, this debate gave me one thing who to trust in this time of debacle. The one who have extreme experience, and that is McCain.

The pundits on Fox were making me so mad, I had to come back to No Quarter. They were saying it was a draw and therefore the socialist won. What?!? I am so sick of these republicans who won’t get behind John McCain. Obama could stand up there and admit that he hates America and every democrat on CNN would praise him for it, including the ones that were for Hillary in the primaries. It seems like the republicans are still pouting that McCain is the nominee and he can’t do anything to please them. As a new Independent/ex-Dem, I can’t believe I support him more than they do. I can’t believe they are sllowing their pride to stand in the way of their country. Get on board you a’holes, we have an election to win. You can criticize McCain in February.

I’ll tell you what’s up with the parade-raining so-called “Republican” commentators on Fox who have done everything they can to gush praise on Obama and criticize McCain’s performance tonight.

1) They think that they score some kind of “professionalism” points by praising Obama.

2) I have a hankering that they secretly want an Obama Presidency, because it’ll give them a chance to sharpen their word skills for the next 4 years.

Hill’s on Fox speaking double talk.

Hillary is on Fox right now, I can’t watch her give praise to this creep.

forgot to mention fox even have a poll trying to show that BO has nearly 70 percent of the vote against about 30 percent for mccain, with 27,000+ having voted so far. when the fix is in, the fix is in. the republicans are freaked that mccain might become president, that i know. no reformer in the white house, hey boys. guess sarah palin is not “experienced” in the way the money moves around in DC!! THE CORPMEDIA IS SICK. scroll way down for the vote:

http://elections.foxnews.com/

Yep me too. And tonight Barry was smirking. Just like dubya.

BO just had to respond to “palling round with terrorists.” and he lied.

Once again BO proved he is completely politically tone deaf.

At that point of the Debate he could have let it go. What an IGIT.

McCain saying that BO needs to be examined, three weeks before an election is a first.

I do not listen to the spin, it is of little value, owing to the fact that MSM is …a bit like a “zen question”.

Now they are doing the emo-meter readings.

Very silly.

Over all BO came across as the empty suit he is. Really sad.

With in the first minutes BO said “I agree with John”,

Truth be told there are so many issue with a life of their own, what these candidates do or say will not have any immediate impact. That is, unless you are GW when he tries to talk up the market.

Judgment is critical in the next 24 months. Policies that are born of Good Judgment, in themselves have poor chance of being executed effectively.

It comes down to what you fear the most on the subliminal level. BO’s “Yes we can” has never included critical thinking.

I leave you in the good hands of “MY FRIEND WARREN BUFFET”.

His friend Warren, during a recent interview with Charlie Rose, looked like a kid at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory!

His pupils had dollar signs in them. Remember that’s BO’s friend when you vote. And then Kiss main street good bye.

Press 1 for ACORN. 2 for the TIDES. If you are a constituent press 0 and hope that theres is a human that gives a crap on the other end.

Obama could have shot a baby in cold blood in front of all to see in this debate and the “analysts” would have said he won the debate and would have rationalized his acts by criticizing the baby for unfairly attacking him and thus deserving being murdered.

Obama is writing revisionist history (about Ayers) but McCain talks in shorthand bursts that only people who know the story, like us, will really understand.

The problem is style: Obama speaks in fluid sentences that anyone can understand and sound credible. McCain doesn’t.

Susan, I think that your points are true about some people’s perception. On the other hand, I know a lot of people who would be put off by Bozo’s smugness and smirks, and they would feel that he was talking down to them.

It’s hard to believe that any non-committed voter would be swayed either way by tonight’s debate, IMHO.

Yes, he said it. I wanted him to say it more but at least he said it once and very well put in play.

McCain pleased me tonight.

Bring on Hannity. I think he’s probably going to be the only honest journalist on Fox tonight. That’s if he’s on?

Okay, I guess I can watch Hannity and Greta and Lou Dobbs and a couple of the women on Fox who anchor the day news. I no longer can stand Brit Hume being drunk every day and now a loyal Obamaphile.
O’Reilly has some sort of personality disorder which is rapidly approaching Obamphilehood. Cavuto doesn’t know if he’s sitting down or standing up.
Shepherd Smith seems to have the intelligence of Campbell Brown (and that minus something, maybe -120), and those cs beltway boys who pretend to be republicans which they do Obama can just take a flying fark.

I fully concur with Susan’s comments at the top of this thread. McCain did not articulately explain the real problem with Obama’s associations. Obama lies (e.g., I did not start my career in Ayers living room) and McCain can’t cite a source to refute that. He changes his opinion or mistates his policy platform, and McCain can’t draw blood on it.

I fully support McCain, but it is at times like this when I really appreciate what Hillary could do. She always had an answer for something.

McCain doesn’t talk in sound bites either. Maybe he’s done too many town halls and he forgets that not everyone has been listening to months about these issues. This is the point SusanUnPC was making – she’s absolutely right.

As for the media – well, McCain could have sounded like Lincoln at Gettysburg, and it wouldn’t matter a wit.

Now it is time for the ad wars – let’s go 527′s.

McCain was very good tonight. But I wish he would have repeated one question over and over…..
Where is your Birth Certificate????
Why are you wasting time and money???
Just hand over the document!
We want to know if you are eligible to even ” have your turn answering any of these questions”

Had NQ not uncovered the $800k then Obama could have said “I did not know them today.”

This was a good find by NQ and it is now an important issue in the election.

I am going out to walk my neighborhood for McCain, because I believe he will be a better president than Obama.

Will I use Bill Ayers and ACORN? If the voter is undecided, yes. It is appropriate.

Let’s have some fun. Let’s elect a president.

thx

Obama said something about ‘if we want to help autism, then that would result in MORE government help or programs’ or something like that. This debate will be repeated on Fox and C Span I’m sure if you want to watch it again.

Amen! They need to be slamming Obama ever second… Obama slammed Fox News in the debate… where is their outrage?

allowing not sllowing

RE: H I L L A R Y

WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO BE SO E N T H U S I A S T I C

ABOUT OZERO – ALL THE TIME?

It’s getting to be a little beyond “the call of
duty”……

S A D ………

You got it right, firstwonderwoman. McCain was placed in the same position as Hillary. Can’t win for trying, as you’ll be lambasted as too negative if you point out the facts with Obama.

This campaign season is so Bush, third term.

i work with a friend building a new business right now. We employ maybe 3 people, and have other companies manufacture the products we design and sell. Our average item ticket price is between 1200 and 4500 per sale.

Our gross sales will exceed 300K this year but the actualy profit after everything is said and done will be less than 75K.

Yeah Obama is going to be friggin bad news for us.

Why the republicans don’t hammer this point home i will never know.

Its not 250K take home pay that Obummer is talking about.

Jesus we are screwed if he gets in office!

They do that constantly!
I’ve often wondered if they WANT Obama to win so they can oppose his socialist policies for 4 years and reinvigorate the Repub Party.

Hillary was just interviewed and she’s all creamy about Barack and how great things will be when he’s in the White House and how he “sealed the deal” tonight.

I never thought I would dislike her, but tonight’s the night.

Joe the Plumber won the debate. He likes McCain too.

Hillary was on Fox a minute ago selling herself out again–not for being on Fox, but for saying how great Obama is. Does anyone believe that she actually believes what she is saying?

I agree Paul. Let the 527′s rip. I’m sick of the pundits. Except…Where is Sean?

Agree. Every con man in the wrold is a smooth talker. You’d think people would know that.

Interesting article. Rove has been so successful in the past, I wonder why he hasn’t come up with something to help McCain now.

obama could have run live babies through a meat grinder, made paties, cooked’em up on stage, served them to the press and they would happily gobble it up all the while telling us how great The Precious was.

Should obama be crowned king it will be the “liberal medias” fault. One would think after they gave us eight years of bush they’d let Americans decide on the next president.

Obama lies:

When Ayers was talked about at a rally someone yelled Kill him.

When Ayers was talked about at a rally someone yelled terrorist.

Not Obama, the new york times lied about that and hardly anyone pointed that out.

Mitt Romney currently doing his best to undo the nonsense defecated by the smug blowhards on Fox.

Look jr. Obama’s the only liar we know here!

Ajust304, A very good point about NQ.

Cudos to them that bust ass speaking truth to power.

Thank God Hannity and Romney are on now.

” Why yes Bob, I’d love to answer your question, but first let me ask….
“Where is the birth certificate?”
“now on to my tax plan…..

Was he/she already a Kool-Aid kid before the debate?

The Kool-Aid kids aren’t going to be converted. We’re not concerned about them.

goblintrain…

i have really been aware of obama pic in the front of McCain, being pushed towards us. Mac is propaganda-like pushed into the background.

i have been noticing this for some time.

why is obama being chosen ?

who is choosing this for us?

obama spun his ass off tonight. danced around the implication of some of Mac’s most pointed questions. hopefully, anyone with a modicum brain matter will have perceived this.

McCain said what he came to say. now it’s in the hands of the people.

the msm, including Fox, are pretty much calling the debate for obama simply because McCain was in control and not willing to play into obama’s victim/”he’s picking on me again because i’m black” stance..

.a draw is always a win for obama. and a lose for McCain.

i think McCain did just great, and was in control.

obama just talked his way into, around, and out of a paper bag, as usual.

what a very irritating man he is.

I hit mute while she spoke. She lied to us back when or she is lying now, I don’t want to hear her lies.

On CNN she kept calling BO ..President ..(dont want to even spell it).
That is the first time I felt a raw dissapointment in her.
What is happening around us.?

They say McCain looked angy and with contempt many time and Obama never lost his cool and smiled.

You’ve got to smile when you’re peddling snake oil.

I am watching C-Span post debate because actual supporters of both candidates call in and give their opinions, not the talking heads who try to distort the truth on who won. In my opinion, McCain won handily over Mr. UH UH UH who was pandering to the voters.

I thought Obama looked like he was going to fall asleep.

One thing that I wish McCain had brought up during the Ledbetter example was the fact that yes, he voted against it (his reasons were trial lawyers, lawsuits) but that he hires more women and pays them more than Obama does. I really wish he would have said that.

And why do the analysts always talk about “tone”? If they felt that McCain’s tone was on the attack (which makes me laugh) how the hell do they think Obama can handle the Presidency?

Yep – another guy said I think Obama was a little better but I’m not voting for a good debater I’m voting for a president.

Liz B, I share your sentiments; oh, how I feel them. I hope Larry and all the other bloggers (and commenters) who are doing the job of investigative journalism will tell us what has happened to our news magazines and journals, newspapers, and network and cable stations. It is a tragedy that there is no current attempt to get at the “truth(s)” of the various issues.

Why? Why? Is it because of the global corporate system and the UN and the IPCC and Al Gore, Global Warming, etc.? I am so deeply, deeply disturbed. I read both Science and Nature Magazines; both are becoming shills in too many ways for corporate projects, e.g., global warming — or since the globe is not warming, climate change. It is all ideology and propaganda (religion) with tons of money as the reward. Where is the science? Where is the skepticism? Where is the investigation unto the truths? Where is hope for the (American) human condition? I think many of us are in deep consideration about what steps to take next. We must hold the fakers, the shills, and the liars accountable.

Ther will be no new business t give a tax break to. Two words: Credit Market.

Did anybody take note of Hillary’s body language. As she was praise Obama, her head was shaking “no, no, no…”

Or L as in Liar comes before P as in Patriot?

You forget, he is still Kenyan born and Indonesian by adoption. He can’t be sworn in as president.

I heard the guy say that although Obama is eloquent, he wasn’t voting for a debater but a President and he was voting for McCain. That’s what gave the rest permission to vote that O won the debate. But only 4 changed to him.

Hey breeze, It isn’t about Barky. Hillary is Hillary.

She find herself where she can do the best work, regardless.

The kicker for me was this part:

McCain: And also the country that just freed three Americans that will help us create jobs in America because they will be a market for our goods and products without having to pay — without us having to pay the billions of dollars — the billion dollars and more that we’ve already paid.

Free trade with Colombia is something that’s a no-brainer. But maybe you ought to travel down there and visit them and maybe you could understand it a lot better.

Obama: Let me respond. Actually, I understand it pretty well. The history in Colombia right now is that labor leaders have been targeted for assassination on a fairly consistent basis and there have not been prosecutions.

Because RIGHT after Obama said that, I was like “WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT???!!!!” and then I saw McCain’s face express the same thing I just yelled. Mac’s eyes widened and he looked incredulous and then he shook his head.

I mean…what the FUCK kind of answer was THAT to talk about free trade? That was the stupidest, stupidest answer Oblahma could’ve come up with at that moment.

I can only listen in spurts, to be honest. I find Obama’s talking points so ingenuous and irritating.

I am far too close to the election to figure out who “won” or “lost.” Obama hasn’t stumbled badly yet, so there’s no big story so far.

On the other hand, I find his positions untenable, the same BS. I’m in the midst of the question about what WILL you cut?

Essentially, the same answer. Nothing.

Is he kidding?

The stock market dropped 700 points today, bozo!

Test

I too was perplexed by this. It’s like, what are you going to believe, Luntz or your lying eyes. And anyone who believes that his focus groups are really full of “undecideds” is seriously delusional.

Soundbite of the night:

“Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against Bush, you should have run four years ago.”

Zzzzzzzzzzing!

I heard a different McCain tonight, Obama did his stump speech, I am sick of the same talking points coming from Obama and his supporters.

Obama replies…
” Uhhmm, er, uh , ahh, the uh document is er uh not what the er uhh umm people want to uh hear about, Bob, they want to hear how I am going to pontificate about my umm uh , uhh ,,, proposals, yea, my proposals…..

Jeremiah CBS said McCain won.

I feel sick. I thought McCain did so well and then the commentators ruined it for me. Was I watching the same debate? Obama didn’t look presidential, he look obnoxious, giving that nasty smirk every two seconds. Obama just talked forever!!!! I wanted to punch him!

Could Obama name drop some more. Warren Buffet vthis and Warren Buffett that. Warren Buffet is no Joe Plumber.

After hearing Mitt Romney on Fox’s post debate make me wish so much that HE was the Republican nominee (just like I wish Hillary was the dem nominee). Romney is ONE smart man and he difinitely can get his points across, whereas McCain has SO much trouble.

I watched CSPAN. I think Obama felt like he did badly, or he was mad about something because after the debate, after the handshaking, etc., Barack and Michelle walked off the back of the stage. The Obamas were outta there.

John and Cindy walked down the steps and into the crowd where they lingered shaking hands and talking to the spectators. Obama did not go down into the crowd. That is how the program ended; showing McCain shaking hands and Obama gone.

Maybe he’s glad to be done, but McCain was pretty enthusiastic after the debate. So, I think he at least was happy with how things went. Obama sulked off the stage. Appeared unfriendly. Obama did not appear happy with his debate.

We heard you the first time,”Sally.” I don’t really agree or like your anti-American rhetoric. But if that’s the way you really feel…why are you living here?

I simply must disagree. I’m a Hill gal all the way, and I watched her muff situation after situation on TV.

She got sharper, but Hill isn’t a natural politician. She is a natural stateswoman. But not a natural politician.

You know who is as good as Obama?

Sarah Palin. That’s who.

She’s gifted, in exactly the same way.

McCain and Hillary are more alike. They know the deeper answers.

That is a handicap at times.

I was telling my wife the very same thing, OBiden also did it during the VP Debate. I’ll be sending emails to FoxNews maybe they can have one of those body languages interpreters check him out. I find it amusing that MSM hasn’t caught on or are just ignoring it.

I really appreciate what Hillary could do. She always had an answer for something.

That’s not fair. Hillary is a once in several generations. We’ll have to wait 20 years before another like Hillary comes along.

It was the Most Interesting Debate yet…McCain was mentally sharp and on Point…But I agree that the Moderator was Lax in Allowing Obama to Cut McCain off…after BARACKUS went into his Long..Rants and like John Wayne McCain said..You can see how Eloquent Barackus can Speak.. John Wayne hadnothing to lose
..He should have said..”you can see what a Slick Bull Shitter Barackus is..”…He would have been a good Trial Lawyer for Sure…>He could have worked with Bomber Bill Ayers on all those Socialistic Prison reforms That Ayers and the Radical left Want…

OBarackus could have gotten all those Killers Like OJ out of Prison..

John Wayne McCain could have just Called Barackus’s Plans what they are..”Socialism”..What else does “Spreading The wealth mean??”

John should have Jumped on every Opening He was given…and Gotten Angry and tough.. Every Commentator says John Missed His “Knock out Moments..”

He got His Highest Marks for Aggressively saying..”Im Not President Bush..If You wanted to run against him..you should have done it four years Ago..”

But then…George Bush did not keep getting elected for looking Like a “Nice Guy”

He got elected on His Promises to be TOUGH..and Being the DECIDER..and re`elected using the same Attitude and Campaign..

All I saw tonight was RED STARS..behind John McCain and Barackus..No American Flags..

Red Stars are what Bill Ayers Wear on his Lapel..They are the Symbol of Communism and Socialism..

Those red Stars behind Obama Tonight…Symbolically
Represent the REAL Kind of Government we will get From BARACKUS..

Its all been Stacked in His Favor..

And the Mobs shouted..”Give Us barackus..”

Give Us Barackus..”

Even tho John McCain was more Presidental Tonight..and More Truthful..

Some Commie wants Obammie in the White House..

I think Rove et. al actually want obama so he can fail and then the Repbulicans can come riding in to save the world.

They know there is almost nothing anyone can do to successfully resuscitate the nation after the debacle of shrub.

Hillary has blown it as far as I’m concerned. What’s she been promised to sell out? And, just being a “party girl” is no longer an excuse…frankly, her “leadership” is no longer evident to me…

I agree with you Liz, I don’t know if McCain has a chance but I can’t vote for someone who votes like BO on the Born Baby alive act.

Thank You, Sugar. This expresses my feelings exactly. And on this positive note I’m going to say goodnight and go to bed.

That was what he should have been saying all along about that meme.

Please go to Fox and vote. McCain only has 33%,

http://elections.foxnews.com/

I feel like I’m living in a nighmare. First the best candidate was thrown out then I figured there was no way BO would ever be elected.

Now I think that the money behind him may be enough to buy this election. That and also the fact that they must be putting something in the water. Rational people I know are voting for him. Even when I bring up many many issues. They don’t want to hear about it.

I’m glad we have well water, maybe they can’t get to it!

One thing I have noticed is that she does have a habit of shaking her head “no”….the opposite of what she’s saying. So it’s not just tonight.

You know what? That visual just jarred my brain…I saw what you said…the New Democrats…I have been calling them that, and so have a lot of us, but what does that mean? I have been reading for the past couple of weeks that BO has connections in IL to the New Democrats Socialist Party. You hit the nail on the head! We feel out of place because we did not get the memo telling us the Old Dems don’t exist anymore. When George Soros, and four of his closest buds bought the Democratic Party a few years ago, they, in fact, must have teamed together with this New Socialist Democratic Party.
It really explains so much. if you get a chance to jump to American Thinker there are some fantastic articles on there. very informative, and well written. This one story explains how Barack may be The One Alinsky and The Socialists have been waiting for, and he has been groomed to do this since he was ten…maybe earlier. It is fascinating and terrifying.

Hoover was a Republican, wasn’t he?

I thought of the good old US of A today when I mailed in my absentee ballot. Straight Republican ticket all the way…first time and now it feel good. Called the campaign headquarters to find out their stand on other candidates not identified by party affiliation (judges, etc.)

OK my guys are on now…Hannity and Rove (how did that happen?)

cnn live has “liberal” blogger gina cooper on. Her answer to every question is ‘The fact is mccain is wrong.’ Some doppy blogger says ‘the facts is’ yet she presents no facts. For me I’d like her to presnet the actual facts she says she has. Why is cnn so useless?

McCain said “Obama is so eloquent, that you have to carefully go back and examine his words” or something. It was very effective and Mac said it a few times.

As in wake up! Read the transcript cuz O is pulling one over on you.

kristen D – yep! Obama’s buddies – along with shady crooks/terrorists and racists, are the SUPER rich, elitists; he has NO ‘normal’ or ‘average’ friends and therefore has NO idea how the average American lives/feels or believes.

He’s been obnoxious to his opponents in every single debate I’ve ever watched.

Without fail, his arrogance emerges.

Yid with lid has something to say.

Obama’s Foreign Policy Guy Dick Lugar Is Anti-Israel

In the debate tonight Obama just said that he gets his foreign policy advice from Dick Luger. Obama keeps saying that he is a friend of Israel. But Dick Lugar is not a friend of Israel. In fact that he is one of the MOST ANTI-ISRAEL Senators in the Senate

When, on May 22, 1998, the Senate, by a vote of 90 to 4, passed the Iran Missile Proliferation Sanctions Act, imposing sanctions on foreigners who help Iran’s missile program, Mr. Lugar fetched up among the four senators who voted against the measure.

On July 24, 2001, the Senate voted 96 to 2 to renew the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act to help deny Iran and Libya money that they would spend on supporting terrorism or acquiring weapons of mass destruction. The only two senators who opposed the measure were Obama’s buddies Lugar and Hagel.

On April 6, 2001, 87 members of the Senate sent President Bush a letter saying Yasser Arafat should not be invited to meet with high-level officials in Washington until he renounced terrorism against Israel. Lugar declined to sign the letter.

On April 18, 2002, when the Senate, by 88 to 10, voted to ban the import to America of Iraqi oil until Iraq stopped compensating the families of Palestinian Arab suicide bombers, Messrs. Lugar and Hagel were among the handful who voted to bring in the oil.

In a July 10, 2003, editorial headlined “Ayatollah Lugar,” have already reported on how Mr. Lugar watered down the Iran Democracy Act that was introduced by Senators Brownback, Schumer, Kyl, Inouye, and others.

I was very tired of looking at Obama and his hands distracted from what he was saying

It almost squeaked by, but did anyone catch when Obama wanted McCain to be on the hook for the guy at the rally, but then he soundly objected when McCain mentioned he should apologize for the “Palin is a _____”. You could hear him go “NO!” BARRY DOESN”T WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING! EVER! He just wants to go around yelling at and blaming everyone else. It’s never his fault, right? Fucking tool.

I thought a very telling comment was when Bob said that the choice of a running mate gives us the best insight into the kind of consideration each candidate will give to selecting people for their cabinets.

The fact that McCain picked Palin is frightening based on her lack of knowledge, and the fact that “she doesn’t know what she doesn’t know.”
It shows extremely poor judgementon McCain’s part. Unfortunately, McCain has made alot of bad decisions in his life and career.

McCain – Palin will lose this election.

Aw yes, the eloquence of Senator Obama’s words.

John I cought that comment and I was thinking why was he defending “labor leaders” in Columbia.

I wish harm to no person, but in the political sense many of these individuals are VERY left of center who would self identify with Chavez, while Ayers gives a speech in Venezuala.

To see only TWO degrees of seperation from Chavez Ayers Obama, is an issue that is ignored. Frakin beee czarrrr.

Did you not read his talking points to the media that were “accidentally” leaked?

The media does not decide this election unless we let them. No matter how many times one of those Obama whores say it’s over GO AND VOTE ON NOV 4TH!

It’s not over until all REAL votes are counted, not stupid little polls.

What’s interesting/disturbing is Obama is so full of beans.

Investment in education will save us?

Oh please!

At this point in our economy, I’d like to see someone out there be able to handle a retail job without blowing it, nevermind science and technology.

It’s just such drivel.

Maybe i am wrong but I’m thinking they (Fox) analysts may be using “reverse psychology” to make all of the conservatives move their butts and vote for Mc Palin. Remember the Fox audience is mostly conservative republican, and there has been much resistance on the conservative Repub groups
