its not a debate is a dual press conference.

Town Hall Event Rules
The Obama-McCain event tonight consists of two parallel press conferences that happen to be in the same room. The detailed rules hammered out by the two campaigns state that the questions were to have been submitted in advance by the audience members and over the Internet. The questioner may not change the question and the microphone will be cut off after the question. Neither the questioner nor the moderator, Tom Brokaw of NBC, may ask followup questions. The candidates may not question each other. There will be no debate at all. Who does this format favor? Probably neither candidate. Usually the questions the general public asks aren't very hard, are largely predictable in advance, and have already been asked 100 times ("how will you fix the economy?"). The candidates have stock answers they will reel off. Given the current state of polling, McCain needs to shake things up and Obama needs to keep the status quo. An event that doesn't rock the boat much thus de facto works for Obama. Nevertheless, once in a while something unexpected happens at one of these events. In 1992, someone asked the candidates how the national debt affected them personally. George H.W. Bush was flustered by the question (by which the questioner probably meant the budget deficit) and it threw him off stride somewhat.

its not a debate it's a dual press conference

Agreed.

Spud's still got popcorn at the ready.

A half full glass of beer is still better than no beer at all.

Spud's an optimist.

Be Well.

Fuck, and no baseball either.......

Maybe I can try to catch Greg Oden's debut on Radio.

I offered a lifeline to McCain --- I hope he use it.

DEBATE DRINKING GAME -- one swig every time McCain says:

my friends
hope
maverick
Obama will raise your taxes
Sarah Palin
country first
I'll bring change to Washington, DC

Okay, I have to run now.

Y'all feel free to add on to this list.

Should be fun. McSame is bound to be in a nasty mood since his campaign is slowly sinking away.

I hope Obama cleans His clock with class and grace. You Go Obama.

i gave you fair warning, beware! beware!!

Who will win Obama of course. He has the Intelligence for it. Ohand WisGod You better check the tire pressure of McCain's campaign bus . They are going flat in a hurry. Best bet get some green slime and slime the tires(Tell Lies and BULLSHIT about Obama) Maybe You can hold onto enough tire Pressure for a Win but doubtful at this point. Oh and use some Nitrogen instead of air next time.

Why LoD?? Why are You surprized??

WAH!

Sing for your leader..People who need someone to "save" them

Enjoy the debate!

See you in November!

I mentioned a few weeks ago I'm going to the debate tonight. Getting ready to head out the door. Luckily, I have a friend who lives down the street from the campus, so I won't have to shuttle to the debate.

Heard there will be about 1000 in attendance. Although the Curb Center holds 5500, they've turned it into a huge TV set. No cameras allowed inside the debate hall, but I'm going to stop by the media center on my way to the arena. A friend is a reporter. He told me he'd email some pics I can put up on PhotoBucket.com to share with you all. They won't be from inside the debate area (where no cameras are allowed) but will show some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and in the 25,000 sq ft 'Media Center' where the world wide press will be viewing the debate from. When I get the pics I'll put them up and link them here. May be tonight or tomorrow.

Security is really, really tight. All the roads leading to the campus are closed off and the campus itself is fenced completely in.

Gonna be an interesting night for sure, and very exciting.

Enjoy it y'all.

"Sounds like you've covered the McCainisms. How about these for Obama?"

Ad in um and uh and we'll all be drunk before the second question.

"Who will win Obama of course."

Of course, he could spasm out and shit on the stage(fill in rest of aristocrats joke) and still the media and his followers will say he won.

(fill in rest of aristocrats joke)

Is that a cue?

Who cares about the debate! The entire stock market crashed and China owns us now.

Obama nor McCain can not pull us out of this recession....

I hope Obama cleans His clock with class and grace. You Go Obama.

Here is a letter I wrote in response to a email from the RNC:

McCain has got to exploit Obama's limited time in the beltway and hammer at his lack of credentials. McCain has been through every major crisis the last 25 years. Not to mention surviving one of the nations biggest divide, Vietnam. Tell the American people he understands the support for Obama and takes his hat off to him. Explain how Obama will no doubt have a mark in American history. But he has not EARNED the right or has the experience to be President. Say he has all the confidence Obama will be ready one day. But not today. Not at this crucial time in our nations survival. Even all his politcal rivals have conceded they do not believe Obama is ready at this time. Also, get on the dems and Obama every single time they bring Bushs name into the conversation. This is another example of having nothing but blanket politics. You have got to get going here. Forget the Houses. Concentrate on nothing but the Presidency. Please our Countrys survival is in your hands. McCain has served and earned the right to be POTUS. Get that message out to the people!!!!

Agreed--to Crisp

McCain needs to hit some homeruns. A tie will not due.

I look forward to seeing your pics and hearing what it's like to attend a debate, AmericanUnity.

My prediction is that Obama will win the debate. McCain's answers on the economy won't be good enough to overcome the natural Democratic edge on the issue, and his cold treatment of Obama will make him look like Tricky Dick Nixon. McCain loathes Obama and hasn't been able to hide it lately. It will make him look uncomfortable in his own skin.

One thing is neither candidate can make any real
spending promises at all with the current and
long term meltdown going on. The talk on this
subject is interesting. I hope for some hardcore
questions without the usual song and dance
answers that we have been hearing for months.

Of course, he could spasm out and shit on the stage(fill in rest of aristocrats joke) and still the media and his followers will say he won.

I think you're confusing him for flailin' palin. Cause she's WITCHPROOF! You betcha! wink wink!

McCain has got to exploit Obama's limited time in the beltway and hammer at his lack of credentials.

While explaining his pick of Sara Palin.

McCain has been through every major crisis the last 25 years.

And was part of many of them.

Not to mention surviving one of the nations biggest divide, Vietnam.

With help from the enemy by aiding the enemy.

Tell the American people he understands the support for Obama and takes his hat off to him.

Exposing his forehead of Melanoma.

Explain how Obama will no doubt have a mark in American history.

As the next President of the US.

But he has not EARNED the right or has the experience to be President.

And displays a shocking photo of Palin riding the underside of a moose.

Say he has all the confidence Obama will be ready one day. But not today.

Is then reminded that it is January 20th that Obama will take control.

Not at this crucial time in our nations survival.

Is reminded that it was Republican policy that McCain supports, that got us into this mess. (Slaps festering Melanoma boil)

Even all his politcal rivals have conceded they do not believe Obama is ready at this time

Is reminded that Obama now has more political support from both sides of the aisle than any recent candidate.

(sorry, phone call)

Also, get on the dems and Obama every single time they bring Bushs name into the conversation.

Is reminded that he has supported Bush 90% of the time.

McCain has served and earned the right to be POTUS.

Crashing planes doesn't earn a guy a damn thing.

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back man. There is a reason you are on the outside looking in. Even for the McCain camp, your suggestions suck.

You know it's funny Crispee_Oc the right clais Barack Obama doesn't have the necessary experience to be President. BUT You on the right exude virtues upon Abe Lincoln for How He ran the Country as President and He has about the same amountof experience in the Senates as Barack Obama has. Seems toMe if it was good enough for Your Abe Lincoln then it should be hunky dory for Barack Obama. After all all they were/are just some Lanky Lawyers from Illinois with about the same amount of experience. Oh and correct Me if I am wrong but didn't Abe Lincoln come from a broken Home Himself??

Alcohol poisoning in the first half of the debate doesn't sound like fun.

McCain will absolutely win tonight's debate but the liberal MSM will whistle in the air and proclaim messiah the winner....

FACT!

Along with AU, Revdarko will also be at the debate and will be reporting back to the FWRN this Friday and Saturday.

Oh and I dare say Barack Obama has ore experience and earned experience th John McCain. He came from the bottom of the barrel to rise upto greatness. He didn't have a Father with connections to install Him into Positions in life like John McCain had. After all Who would You declare earned His right to the top the Son that uses His Fathers Influences to gain office or the Son that says either Sorry Dad I must strike out on My own/ Or the Son who doesn't even have a well connected Father/Mother who works hard enough HIMSELF to achieve greatness??

Actually the real debates are on the 9th where real issues will be discussed, the independent debates, the candidates invited are

Chuck Baldwin -- Constitution Party
Charles Jay -- Boston Tea Party
Brian Moore -- Socialist Party
Cynthia McKinney -- Green Party
Ralph Nader -- Independent
Bob Barr -- Libertarian Party

It really doesn't matter who wins. Democrats and the Democratic MSM will claim victory for Obama. The same way Major Powers claimed victory in "Heartbreak Ridge"

The real question is if Democrat Brokaw has any plants in the audience. Not that this has happen before mind you :-)

If McCain speaks of the one who shall not be named you have to drink two drinks!

as for the winner...

I hope the American People win.

I hope that both candidates speak truthfully and clearly about the issues that face the American People.

I hope that the candidates clearly lay out their difference and their programs and plans to fix these problems.

I hope to hear about the Energy Plan for all Americans.

I hope to hear about better Health Care for all Americans.

I hope to hear about better Education for all Americans.

I hope to hear about better jobs for all Americans.

I hope to hear about better relations with the rest of the world.

I hope to hear what CHANGE really means.

I hope I don't get too drunk with that drinking game!

But, I am obviously a dreamer and none of that will probably happen...except the getting drunk part.

Democrat Brokaw?

Are you on drugs?

Brokaw is a shill for the right. Sorry if you didn't realize that.

======================

Its gonna be hard to swing for the fences with arms as f-d up as his.

According to Barack Obama's chief political strategist, the freshman Illinois senator is prepared for his GOP rival to "take the gloves off" at tonight's debate here, continuing the Republican's assault of recent days.

But David Axelrod says Obama will try to stay focused on the global economic crisis, not just any attacks by Sen. John McCain.

"We're prepared for a very aggressive debate," Axelrod told reporters aboard Obama's plane today en route to Nashville from North Carolina.

Should the need arise, Axelrod said, taking off one glove as a preemptory warning himself, Obama will remind Americans during the debate here at Belmont University of the Arizona senator's role in the "Keating 5" thrift scandal of the 1980s.

"The Keating case is pretty germane to the discussion we're having right now," Axelrod said. "The Keating issue was one....

...in which Sen. McCain intervened with regulators on behalf of a financial institution that ultimately collapsed, and taxpayers were left holding the bill."

It does not matter who wins. With the McCain tied to the economy he really cannot win.

It has nothing to do with Obama. It would not matter, if the shoe were on the other foot and we had a Dem president, Obama would be losing and McCain would be wining.

Palin inciting violence against Obama?

I have a slightly different idea for the drinking game:

Every time either one of the candidates lies through his teeth.

Which of course would mean every time he opens his damn mouth.

Three sheets to the wind inside of 20 minutes, you betcha!

NOW DRINK!

And on to more important matters, I for one will be happy that the good Reverend Darko will be back to his shenanigans afore long. Makes Friday Night just that slight amount more amusing.

One drink anytime Sarah Palin is spotted in the audience or seen spinning after the debate.

Chris, may I suggest then that you do your drinking alone, and at home.

And, I know you might not like this idea, but you might want to buy yourself a firearm as well. You and I, and I think a few others (I point to the NWO Act II thread) have a fair to middlin' idea what's coming whether we like it or not.

no matter how hard i try i cannot get the words out of my head of one of mcsames town hall meetings.

some young dude asked him how he would respond to someone saying he was gonna die within his first term.

he said, 'Thanks for the question, you little jerk.'

I am prepared with snacks and beverages. The last 2 debates, it was fun to post here whilst watching.

We'll be able to tell the game participants by the degradation of their typing skills as the debate rages on.

I'd been thinking about it. I'm all alone here so it might be a good idea.
Not be be overly dramatic, but this is the start of a global meltdown. And as our economy here gets worse -- and it will -- and more people are put out of work, pensions are gone, 401ks shredded, stock portfolios worth 1/10th of what they used to be, and people forced to tap into the remaining equity of their homes to just make it, then you are going to see a big rise in crime everywhere.

I'm afraid so, Chris. I'm afraid so.

Good luck to those who survive this. I'd raise my glass to you, but it's empty right now.

I hope these two clowns don't waste any debate time talking about 1960's terrorists and the Keating 5. Americans want to hear about our economy and what they are going to do about it. Also about jobs and health care and stuff that matters.

Almost time.

I'm gonna go outside and listen to it on the radio.

In honor of the candidate, I've eschewed the usual Luckies for a pack of Kools.

I have to respond to #74.

Never happen, Chris. Bread and circuses all the way.

John, you're health insurance plan is a tax on the poor.

Huh? McCain just said we lost 700,000 jobs???

err, McCain we've lost more than 3 million jobs since Bush has been in office. Just last MONTH we lost 150,000 jobs.

Ok Obama lets just completely bypass a simple question that has probably been the most important asked tonight. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

smurphy again ahhhh fuck it. your administration is the first in history not raise taxes during a time of war. didn't you just post something to the affect that we are in a war? that's half the reason we're in this situation.

Lost a wheel!!!!!!

Lost half the fucking bus!!!

lol

Bo--when you freeze there are no increases and in conjuction with cuts for pork and abuse and rid the system where there is fraud.

Freeze is NOT a cut--it is maintaining the status quo.

Tax cuts to 95% where 40% don't even pay taxes. He just watns to give them a check for $500--

It's called buying your vote.

Question on Obama that I have been wanting to ask, when he says if you make less than $250K per year then you don't have to worry, does that mean total household or would it be $500K for married filing jointly? Has anyone ever asked that question?

It's called buying your vote.

like all of Bush's "tax rebate checks"?

Obama is fucking smashing McCain to pieces.

my friends

THis is gonna be a rough night

CC it has been 750k jobs since January--the rate before that was 5% and a bit below before that..

My friends--take a drink

When Obama stutters--take a drink

When Obama says Bush--take a drink

Obama blew it big time.

He should have told everyone McCain intends to pay for his health care plan by cutting back on Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals -- something that will force many hospitals and physicians to close their doors.

Not another God Damn commission, and the base closing commission was a total scam.

Does McSame have a new prosthetic arm?

40% of the 95% don't pay taxes??? i'd like to see your source on that smurphy

Climate change is the one thing he disagrees with the WH on. And again, working with Lieberman is not bipartisan.

Some safety record.

CC it has been 750k jobs since January--the rate before that was 5% and a bit below before that..

I know. And at least 2,250,000 million more jobs on top of that since Bush took office. McCain said we've lost 300,000 jobs total. He's wrong -- by a long shot.

he was on a nuclear sub so he knows it's safe and clean

"40% don't even pay taxes."

Despite being schooled time and again, Murphy still doesn't know the difference between income taxes and all taxes.

Ooohhh what a fucking retort by Obama on the "doesn't understand" issue. Fucking-A right man!

general welfare did not mean HC for Americans for the Founding Fathers..

OW. Obama kicks McCain in the nads on iraq.

Obama just said that he will crack down on Insurance Companies. He will not allow a company to go to a state like Arizona, where there limited regulations and sell insurance to you.

Mr. Obama,

That company can only sell Health Insurance to those people of Arizona. That company can not sell insurance to anyone in another state, unless that state allows it.

It's seems that Mr. Obama needs to know what he's talking about before he gets out there in front of people.

In conclusion, Mr. Obama, the State is responsible NOT YOU!

when did McCain turn into Mr. Tudball?

"Mrs. hhhhhWiggins, can you come in here and be my VP?"

America is a peacekeeper sex John?

Sometimes this is true.

But not in Iraq.

Either post invasion/occupation or prior to that when Rumsfeld sold WMD to Saddam Hussein because he was "our bastard".

Obama said it *should* be a right. Every society can decide what rights should be codified and enforced. What in the hell do you think the Bill of Rights is, other than subjective decisions by individuals who negotiated the contents?

Health Care Insurance is I do declare a National Security Issue and therefore covered under the General Welfare Clause. If You have a bunch of people in a coimmunity that are sick with a communicable disease and unable to go to the local Doctors because they can not afford it.

Thank You.

McCain quoted Teddy twice.

And fucked it up both times.

At least we know McCain has no intention to do whatever's necessary to win against terrorism.

Foreign Policy --McCain is kicking butt--Obama's butt.

Hey Mr Taleeban Tally Me Banana

Health Care Insurance for all.

US vs Butler - of course, the Supreme Court considered themselves the only capable entity to determine what meets the 'national interest' question compared to a local interest.

Since a lawsuit could challenge a law that provides an entitlement under the welfare clause, it eventually would fall into the hands of the Supreme Court to determine if the Constitution allows for the particular entitlement.

Car for everyone for-free. House for everyone for-free, Health Care for-free for everyone, education for everyone for-free, anything you desire for-free.

All you have to do is stack the Supreme Court for entitlements and have enough to believe it is always for the National Good.

Sorry Rtard, you guys had since 9/11 till now to get him and you FAILED.

The fact that you did it deliberately in order to keep pressing the fear button aint a good excuse.

If the little line o' meter thing on CNN is any indication of McCain's status in this election, he's in the bag. Since I turned it on he was consistantly lower and spent more time with overall negative rating.

"Did you expect anything different from CNN?"

Ahhhh the crowd rated McCain poorly so it must be because it's CNN. Except for the fact that for the first Pres debate and the VP debate the meters didn't favor either candidate and were overall positive for both candidates. This one, however, was different.

gergen seems suicidal.

/Seriously need to piss

I predict Obama gets a slight bump from this, putting him farther ahead of McCain.

Well, considering that most Americans probably don;t know what a "tiller" is, I'm not sure how well McCain connected.

Obama showed that he has what has been said to be the two most important characteristics for being president, a first class intellect and a first class temperament.

There's me, quoting Charles Krauthammer on Obama. )sorry for the visual)

Bill Bennett says McCain, "not good enough".

Other Repub = "I learned tonight that McCain wants to buy everyone a house."

The question was--would you put troops on the ground in protection of Isreal if Iran attacked Isreal or wait for UN approval

NEITHER ANSWERED THE FUCKING QUESTION

~BBob

True, but it was kind of a stupid question.

Iran will NEVER attack a nuclear Israel.

Spud believes it would be more likely fer Israel to try a false flag operation in order to make it look like they were being attacked by Iran but Iran aint got either the stones or the technology to make such a move.

They ARE crazy but there not insane.

A subtle difference but one worth noting.

Mccain has to do better and put more questions on Obama's character and judgment--because Obama is the pits..

Somewhere, Bashou is smiling.

Boring, dull, maybe even a waste of time..

This was, perhaps, McCain's last chance to knock Obama off his game. He failed to do it.

Since Obama has the momentum, all he had to do was survive, and he certainly did that.

I don't really want either guy as president, but I want Obama less. However, I'm more and more beginning to accept the fact that the Republicans nominated the wrong person.

I think Obama is going to be the next president. God help us.

tonoght?

sausage lover is here too? james give us more facts. i'm drunk from all the "my friends" and your crap really is funny. wait first i need to piss and grab a beer.

300B from McCain to help the bailout of the middle class.

He is such a maverick...

James Dean was just trying to help the sheep through that fence.

FACT!!!!

Murphy and alexandrite get it; McCain needed to change the game and he didn't.

If anything, McCain gave Obama a platform to once again prove that Obama is more attuned to our present and more likely to be effective in our future.

ww2? uhh weren't we talking about somalia and iraq d-bag?

The candidates donot answer the questions. Instead they recite their memorized scripts.

Meanwhile, AIG had a $440,000 after bailout beachparty at taxpayer expense. The $85 billion is gone and as of today they were unable to tell Congress what they have done with it.

Ha, Ha, Ha, there's nothing you can do about it, its all perfectly legal, any Judge can see that.

I think Obama is going to be the next president. God help us.

Don't count on help from God---He didn't help any for the last 8 years.

"Mrs. hhhhhWiggins, can you come in here and be my VP?"

~FF fer Steaming Pile.

Spud is LOL!

Spud luffs a good Tim Conway/Carol Burnett reference.

Be Well.

/Okay, really gone now.

NMG NO-
re:-
"I don't really want either guy as president, but I want Obama less. However, I'm more and more beginning to accept the fact that the Republicans nominated the wrong person."

In 2000, 20004, or 20008?

Or all three?

"BOMB BOMB BOMB.... BOMB BOMB IRAN"

"I'm John McCain and Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite person because he walked softly but carried a big stick and didn't over speak himself"

What a complete dumbass fuck!!

Completely enjoyed this debate. That doesn't bode well for McCain.

LOL (2000, 2004, 2008)

Obama 9
McCain 7

Next.

Reagan was his hero

Teddy Rosevelt was his hero.

Superman was his hero.

YAV-
Obama rarely does what I wish he would do in a debate. He always does better.

Don't count on help from God---He didn't help any for the last 8 years.

James Chapter 1 versus 13 and 14.

Cjk85 and Alexandrite,
You guys won't answer my questions, won't face the tough questions, but just wanna keep quizzin' me.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
And it's interesting how quickly you dismiss civilian loss of life of foreigners in favor of American troops, Alexandrite.

The undecidedes are the key..

Everytime one of them didn't answer the question or avoided the question told me that the american people will not like the answer.

What is sad about that is it clearly shows they are not interested in what the people want.

Not one of them could answer what the 700 billion would do to help the economy. It was nothing but a give our money away with no accountability.

Both of them should be ashamed.

kirk you changed it to include ww2. your questions were answered. about 2500 gi's died on d day. there you go. do you want to change the goalposts again?

Where's McCain's VP nominee?

Murphy-
What did you want McCain to hit that he didn't, and why do you think he didn't?

I wish Obama had gone for the knockout, the home run, painted his adversary as the unstable, senile warhawk he is. Obama should have come out as the antithesis of war, but instead elected to match the geezer's saber rattling. If you're this far ahead on points, the name of the game surely is not to blow it.

Obama could have said, when McSame spoke of greed and corruption on Wall Street, "you, sir, represent the party of greed and corruption." At least Obama said to rest the notion that he's a radical. He's another wimpy centrist; unfortunately that may be the best our country can ever do. herm

First results from polling Independents is starting to come in:

Thirty-nine percent of the 400 uncommitted voters surveyed identified Barack Obama as tonight's winner; 27 percent said John McCain won, while 35 percent saw the debate as a draw.

After the debate, 68 percent of uncommitted voters said that they think Obama will make the right decisions on the economy, compared to 54 percent who said that before the debate. Fewer thought McCain would do so 49 percent after the debate, and 41 percent before.

Before the debate, 60 percent thought Obama understands voters' needs and problems; that rose to 80 percent after the debate. For McCain, 35 percent felt he understands voters' needs before the debate, and 46 percent thought so afterwards.

There is some good news for McCain, who still dominates Obama when it comes to perceptions of readiness to be president. Before the debate, 42 percent thought Obama was prepared for the job, and that percentage rose to 57 percent after the debate. But 80 percent felt McCain was prepared for the job before the debate, and 84 percent thought so afterwards.

Herm,

The last "centrist" managed this country remarkably well, blowjob and all.

I'll take a centrist over a leftist any day of the week.

contrary to some people's opinion, I think Barry hit a homer tonight.

"That One," McCain Calls Obama In Debate (VIDEO)

"During a discussion about energy, McCain punctuates a contrast with Obama by referring to him as "that one," while once again not looking in his opponent's direction (merely jabbing a finger across his chest). That's not going to win McCain any Miss Congeniality points. Nor will it reassure any voters who believe McCain is improperly trying to capitalize on Obama's "otherness."

Herm-
I'm sure if you were a candidate you would always lose, but be righteously indignant and superior to the very end; safe in the knowledge that you alone were just, and that the rubes just couldn't see it - so fuck them.

I think Barry hit a homer tonight.

I agree.

The fact checking has begun. So far, Obama's ahead and McCain's getting beaten up:

Homework time--

Later gators--

And it's interesting how quickly you dismiss civilian loss of life of foreigners in favor of American troops, Alexandrite.

Sorry I'm not getting to your dumbass deflection from 200 posts ago in time.

Our troops are more important. Sorry.

Cjk85,

Who's REALLY the dbag, *you* who won't answer questions and resorts to name-calling

Or me, who answers questions and TRIES to have an intelligent discussion based on history re: American lives, civilian lives and liberal cowardice/thin-skinned overreaction?

Yes, what the world needs is more radicals and fundies.

Anyone in between that might might actually be able to get elected in this country, like Bubba, or Obama, are castigated for their centrism while they are busy advancing progressive policy.

Radicals just end up on the sidelines, or more like, stabbing the centrist on the back, as they did with Hillary and already begin to do with Obama.

CNN debate poll, who did the better job: Obama 54% McCain 30%

'Zactly!

*you* who won't answer questions and resorts to name-calling

and liberal cowardice/thin-skinned overreaction

The self retorting post makes a nice bookend to your silly little deflection started over an hour ago. You know, while McCain was busy getting his ass whipped.

Your boy lost. Deal with it.

Two big issues from McCain on domestic issues:

1. He proposed the government buy up bad mortgages to halt foreclosures.

I'd love to hear from those of you who have been calling Obama a socialist on how you feel about that.

2. We won't be able to provide the same social security benefits to future retirees as we do now.

McCain also said he knows how to fix the problem but didn't bother to make an attempt to do so while he had a President from his own party in office and Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. Someone care to explain why? Did McCain only realize SS had a problem after the Democrats won Congress?

there's nothing intelligent about your "conversation". again i did answer your question, even when you change it. yes your a d-bag.

Hotsauce- the less specifics McCain uses on SS the better he'll do.

This guy wanted to privatize SS into the stock market and thought the fundamentals of the economy were strong, like 2 days before the housing crash.

Those SS funds in the stock market would be worthless right now.

Anybody seen McCain's VP nominee tonight?
