Tonights Town Hall Debate Discussion

reply to post by dgtempe


I thought the same thing the audience looks glazed, bored, unimpressed, and slightly annoyed..

OH LAST WORD THANK GOD>>>> 5 BUCKS SAYS obama is gonna need a follow up!

McCain answer just now was a perfect answer to that question.

"I dont know whats going to happen next"

Good answer, point for McCain there

Sarah taught him the hand pump thing. I guess old dogs can learn new tricks.
McCain looked like he was about to be mugged when Obama came over to pat him on the back. His depends will need looking after.

Brokaw rather annoyedly said your in my teleprompter and McCain almost bunny hopped out of the way. You know he is frustrated, Brokaw.

This town hall debate did not meet my high hopes. At least both candidates were forced to address Middle America specifically. This was the third time on television I heard John McCain say he wanted to unite a “league of democracies” to handle countries like Iran; had an alarming New World Order vibe.

Whether any one wants to admit to it or not, supporting Israel goes back to the Bible. They are God's people and must be protected. That is why we have supported them for so long.

No republican president has ever been elected without winning Ohio and Sen. Obama has been leading in the polls there for a while now but they state is still up for grabs.

Hm, why were they tied in the first place?

Debate in a nutshell:

Brokaw: You're in the way of my script, there....

I'm sorry, according to whom? the British who gave the the land after WW2?

Of course it was scripted. Do you think Bozo the Clown and Ronald McDonald could actually get through a debate without it being scripted.

Eh. Sad that we base foreign policy on a storybook made up by other people...
But that's just my opinion. Personally I think there is another reason that goes beyond theology.

No, I think it goes back further than WW2.

Hmmm I guess AIG won't be happy. About time someone started screaming about this bailout plan. I called it weeks ago, nothing is going to change, the bailout is there for the rich and in 6 months we will all be in line at a soup kitchen.

Last word: Obama's night - but JUST!!

The BBC is commenting on how much McCain said "My Friends"

And how restless he was while Obama was speaking.

Onto the next debate, Obama may get a slight lead but tahts all, McCain lost out on an opportunity & the BBC are saying it just as I'm typing it.

Damn somebody bring back the VP debate......

talk about falling zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well then we have a difference of opinion on Isreal. I do not consider them to be chosen anything. I have a serious worry when talking about Isreal, and truth be told they scare me a hell of alot more than Iran does.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I just noticed...

And rightly so,they scare me too, I think they could take us all out with one button. Maybe that's why we try to stay on their good side.

All I have to say. The AIG toads better stay out of gyms for awhile. Or be prepared for a beat down.
