Tonights Town Hall Debate Discussion

Cards, which proves they did not write the questions themselves. otherwise why need to read it and stumble over it? it's a giant conspiracy.

Did you really think that actual American citizens would get to question the candidates on national television?

God forbid that either would get asked an original question....

I'm waiting for Brokaw to just say it...

"get to the damn point already!"

McCain says My Friends twice in one answer (so far)

and refers to Obama as "that one" with a finger point - WOW what an insult!!

In the last 5 mintues he's said MY FRIENDS nearly a dozen times. And in this last statement so far he's said it 5 times. He's going to have alot of people over for Thanksgiving!

Wait a minute.....I'm canadian and he's calling me his "friend" as well. Sweet I better get a good present from him for christmas this year.

He did call me his "friend" after all.

This 'my friend' thing is getting on my last nerve. I am sure some one will tally at the end. I think we are on 40.
Unfortunately, if he has a flesh colored two way in his ear we won't ever know if it was just his hearing aid.
I've seen better looking alzheimer pts. John kicks off and chicky baby will be on the red phone with Putin going 'you betcha'. Believe me, not that I'm crazy about Obama either.

I believe that the questions are highly screened so that no one is asking about the evil robots trying to take over earth. We couldn't have that now could we? However the local radio station is offering bucks to anyone who will ask.

Now see if it was me, I would take the card, act as though I was going to follow their rules, and then slam them. Nothing better than having them caught off guard. And what is Tom going to say..HEY WAIT,THAT ISN'T THE QUESTION WE TOLD YOU TO ASK~

I want one of the people there to ask about Same sex Marriage and watch these two stumble over it like Palin and Biden did, that was classic in the other debate :p

"Thank you for the question...."

&

"My Friends"


are the terms of the night - along with the flying mud

I don't recall "fining mothers who can't provide healthcare for their children" as part of Obama's health plan. I think McCain might be making a bit of a stretch there.

Hair transplant joke went down like a lead balloon...

How about the gold plated taps in your mansions John?

Might have a cadillac stashed away too

I came in late... But this "town hall meeting" seems like to me is a bunch of B FREAKING S!!!! Same old talking points, same old he voted this way well he voted that way BS!!!! and OMG Nuclear energy!!!! HELL NO!!!! We can fix our freaking solar, wind, and micro hydro up first, hell we can subsidize electricity PERIOD through complete commitment to alternative power production. And this health care BS!!!! I KNOW OF NO HEALTHCARE PLAN THAT INCLUDES HAIR TRANSPLANTS....Gold plated healthcare packages indeed!!!!

HANDCUFF THE BASTARDS!!!! Handcuff them and put them in Angola Prison.

Healh care is a fundalmental right as far as im concerned. The government has a right to keep it's citzens as healthy as possible. But then again I'm Canadian, and i still dont understand US health care one bit.

Hey, Obama actually directly answered a question!

"I think it should be a right". (health care)

Now, let's see him swim away from that...

I read somewhere that Skeletor's $5000 tax credit doesn't go to the individual, it goes to the health care proividers. Looking right now for where I read that.
Also this is how his policy would affect someone in my profession.

wow, with all these "My friend's" if i hadn't spent half my life in catholic school, my liver would not be able to handle it.

Don't worry, my friend, we don't understand it either.
