I'm against it.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

I'm watching the little chart on the bottom of the CNN screen... Obama is big with the women.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

It seems that Obama wants more time. He has been very rude and demanding more time after McCain Speaks. He wants to control the debate.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Obama is smooth, but the content of his rhetoric is liberal, liberal, liberal. Too bad too many Americans vote style over substance.

McCain is a solid leader. I hope Americans can see and hear that.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Do my ears deceive me...did the majority of the focus group polled on Fox News say Obama did better on the debate? I'm about to have a heart attack.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Tonight, I know that they did! He exuded hope, strength and wisdom tonight.

I was proud of him. When I get off the phone I will add more. :D

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

I don't care what the spinners say - I think Obama was on the defense tonight.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

I didn't get to see all of it. Revival at church but it's not what is said in a debate. It's what happens when it comes time to react. I'll go with McCain. If I was in battle he's the man I would want at my side. In one of Obama's speeches he said 'It's just words" and I think that is about what he is made up of, Just words. I agree with deacon blues McCain is a solid leader.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

I think McCain represents war to many people. I think what some see as a huge asset (his military experience) others view from a different angle as a liability.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

McCain has proven to be an idiot. McCain's not offered anything significantly different from the Bush regime. Obama is highly knowledgeable of the issues, however his policies still may not work. I think the Republicans and Democrats have broken our country and neither of these two can fix it.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Who won???????

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

That wasn't too nice

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Loved when Brokaw asked about the Treasury Secretary and McCain mentioned Buffet and Whitman. Obama agreed with Buffet, but didn't give us an answer of WHO he was going to appoint - big deal there!

Obama didn't deny mandated health care - at all. Funny when McCain asked, "I'm waiting to hear how much the fine will be." Good move. McCain stressed it makes him nervous about government mandating health insurance.

When the woman asked about trusting either one. Obama's answer included spending more money.

McCain kept reminding everyone to look at their records and not rhetoric.

When did Obama ever write a piece of legislation on Freddie and Fannie? He said he did a year ago. An Al Gore moment? He was making fun of McCain "sponsoring" a bill to address Freddie and Fannie like it was only important if he wrote it. Only four people supported S190. Didn't see Obama on that.

He tried to get McCain on not signing an energy bill that Bush proposed. McCain explained it had too many goodies in it. That is one thing that he is so misunderstood about. For example, he voted against the Bush tax cuts because it wasn't balanced out with less spending. They hit him on voting against the tax cuts solely. That wasn't his issue.

All I can think of off the top of my head. The main thing I came away with is that McCain exuded excitement and a renewed we will survive. Obama seemed to exude some fear. Perhaps, I felt that way because I view McCain as being more in command in any crises and wonder WHO Obama would talk to at 3:00 a.m. on the Red Phone.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Do you want the Republican answer or the Democrat answer? :whistle

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Hands down - McCain!

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

idiot? really?

that is the kind of clear retoric that could come from the likes of Al Franken, or mikel more.

good job, its good company you keep.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

McCain didnt knock Obama out. thus regardless of who did better, Obama wins.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Does that qualify as name calling?

Whether it does or doesn't... what has McCain done that has proven him an idiot?
If there is one thing McCain has going for him, it is that he is no idiot.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Drudge says :


70% McCain

26% Obama


I think Drudge is pretty liberal =, no?

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

McCain sounded stupid, plain and simple. Obama was very knowledgeable....but I'm even suspect of his policies. At least it's a clean break from the current stupidity being performed by this Administration.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Stew, I know what your answer would since you are
rooting for Obama

but I want something tangable

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

I didn't see it that way.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Umm no. He is a self-described conservative.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

It's all in the ears.

McCain didn't sound stupid. Obama didn't sound stupid.

McCain sounded experienced. Obama sounded defensive.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

How much will the fine be?

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Mark, what in that answer would indicate rooting for either one? Consistently the opinion as to who wins is very much determined by previous affiliations.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

All i want to know is, WHO got us into this big wall st. mess!

was it the Democratic senate or the republicans?

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Who knows - Obama wouldn't answer. Probably because he doesn't even know yet.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

I pretty sure I recall you saying you was for Obama - you
are aren't you???

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

McCain is an idiot. And the only points I give him is on national defense.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

There are tons of info on this here already.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Don't you love it when Obama goes - and, and, and..... LOL!

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

That's a dumb question. It was both. lol

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

You are obnoxious and rude!

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

no need for the snide answer - I haven't been on this political
forum to the extent you have Renda

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

He has to - buys him time to remember what he's suppose to say.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

Dude, I think you have snaped.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate
 

No sir, you are recalling incorrectly. I have clarified many times that I am not for any candidate or any party. The problem here is that anybody who expresses that they are not falling for the Republican strategies any longer is viewed as a liberal, a Democrat, and by extension unsaved.
