OFFICIAL- Final U.S. Presidential Debate

reply to post by jam321


OK, then let me ask y'all this, because I really don't know the answer. What is McCain's voting record regarding the growth of the government over the last eight years?

Senator Obama seems to be parroting some of Senator McCain's phrases. I don't think that's a good idea for him. I think he uses this tactic as a way to fill the space while he frames his response, but it makes him seem like he doesn't have as good of a handle on the issue...... or at least to me.

theyus all guilty.

They has wasted and misspent our money like there is no tomorrow.

Oh god, abortion.

CNN ticker.....

Men are really with McCain on the abortion issue. Kind of surprising. Women aren't....not surprising.

Obama is coming back but its too late - this goes to McCain me thinks....


Thanks for the update Skeptic

They might not agree in policies, I think McCain takes things too personal and he might think disagreement is personal attack.

I disagree completely. Obama seems to be the one that mistakes disagreement as a personal attack. In a round about way, he implies that anyone who disagrees with him is simply afraid because he's 'different' and doesn't look like past Presidents who are on our currency.

He also cris 'foul' whenever anything gets too tough - no one can criticize his wife, his reverend, etc.

Tigers be there. I have more respect for someone who says what they think, even if it's unpopular, than someone who waffles around.

I believe what Senator Obama is saying, but he should just stop. He's sounding defensive (on abortion).

Yeah, my wifey says same.

I also agree that should be true, as a red-blooded man.

Supreme Court question goes to Obama. I'm so tired of hearing about Rowe v. Wade! Good God, that was decided in the 70's! If you are against abortion, don't get one! If it is repealed, many women will go back to the 'coathanger' method that was predominant before the case! ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH!!!

cause it is hard when you get someone pregnant and a woman tells you that she is pregnant but is getting an abortion. Nothing a man can do about it. It is a heartbreaking situation if you love kids.

I do believe Obama & think he is telling the truth more than McCain. But the oul' fella is coming out looking stronger, even though he may be spinning it more than the National Enquirer

What happened to foreign policy? Did I miss it or something?

I like how the guy asking questions said one of the topics was climate CONTROL, and McCain had to jump in and correct him by saying, climate CHANGE. Anyway, I was watching NBC with the split screen, and McCain looks like a fidgeting chipmunk. When he talked about Palin, I almost gagged. McCain is coming off as a buffoon, no surprise there. I don't think I can stay awake to listen to the rest of the debate, though. I don't see much fire or passion from either side.

I am still undecided, although there is no way in hades I would ever vote for McCain and the vagina he slapped on his ticket for the gullible dumb women who will vote for him solely because he picked her for them specifically. Gag.

Education and healthcare, where will the money come from? Neither one of them impress me. This is very sad.

They've had little blurbs on it, but no real question. I think tonight is domestic policy.

If Roe V. Wade wasn't an important issue for much of the U.S., then it probably wouldn't be mentioned.

I hope gay/lesbian marriage doesn't come up. I personally believe that the federal government has NO role in relationships between consenting adults. If they do have a role, it's to acknowledge that they have no role. My opinion.

Palin is her name.

Learn it. You may have to use it the next 4 years.

Real quick which channel is actually LIVE? Big difference in timing betwenn channels. Check it out. Srry if this has been discussed.

It is odd that men are the ones generally against abortion rights and women are for it. Kinda reinforces the idea of the patriarchal dominated society, eh?

I did like when mccain talked about states rights and being an anti federalist. I liked when obama talked about the 1st amendment, however briefly. I'm just not sure they are serious about these things.

I like Obama's performance on education.
Right on money.
Ticker does not quite agree with me.
