2008 U.S. Presidential Election: First Debate

[financeguy]

you know what? talk about standards all you want.

i still want to know why a woman gets on an 8 hour flight after her water broke.

or are we not allowed to ask non-deferential questions because, please, it's sexist.

I usually try to have more substance to my contributions than smilies.

But to your post here, the only response I can think of is:



But, yes, your question is inherently sexist.

McCain just said US troops were in Iraq fighting for 'Americas freedom'. Hey? Did I miss something?

 

[Dreadsox]

Now that was a punch....singing songs about bombing Iran. WOW!

I'm trying very hard to listen to McCain's point of view since we're in a debate, which is a non-partisan setting. But, honestly, I cannot follow what he's saying. He's turning into Palin here. He can't even complete a thought. He jumps from one subject to another in mid-sentence. All this business about bombing Iran, John? Would you like me to Youtube you with your adorable song about that very thing?

 

[kellyahern]

So because Pakistan was a failed state, it was okay for them to have a dictator? Huh?

 

[Dreadsox]

You are kiddding me right? He is losing? I have it pretty close to even...

Obama said Orgy so he is ahead with my inner adolescent.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Wow, douchebag indeed...there's a way of demonstrating your extensive record and experience without being condescending

Mitt's motherboard runs on hairgel, so unfortunately, that wouldn't be the case.

Oh, so we've entered the "This is my personal anecdote about a soldier's death, and I feel their pain better than you!" part of the debate.

Nice to see McCain's inner douche coming out now. I think I just saw him snarl.

 

[Dreadsox]

temper John...temper......

Not watching it myself, based on the posts here and making the necessary allowances for FYM'rs allegiances/biases.....

.....I suspect you are right in calling it as even.

 

[ImOuttaControl]

I agree. They're both making good arguements, both dodging some arguements...etc.

 

[kellyahern]

Is a league of democracies like The Justice League?

Geez.

 

[Dreadsox]

Isn't there already a Justice League? I am confused....Superman Flash? Help me out here.

 

[corianderstem]

I think John McCain is this close to having a funny whistle in his voice when he pronounces "s" sounds.

That would be awesome to have a president who whistles when he talks. Like the kid who sings "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth."

 

[randhail]

Perhaps McCain should've picked Petraeus to be his running mate since John seems to be giving him a lot of man-love tonight. At the very least, McCain should just come out and say that Petraeus is his BFF.

 

[Dreadsox]

Jinx at you Kelly!!!!

 

[ImOuttaControl]

temper John...temper......

If you're from MN like myself and see our nasty senate race, Al Franken argues that temper=passion.

 

[Dreadsox]

Iranically....get it??? hehe

[VintagePunk]

I don't think McCain's doing that badly, and I'm his idealogical polar opposite. I don't know that he's gained any independents, but I don't think he's lost any, either.

That's my take too. Although I'm listening to it NOT watching it. I'm at work and listening on the computer. Visuals do matter...remember Nixon vs Kennedy?

 

[U2isthebest]

So, Ahmadinejad is apparently McCain's "nu-kular".

 

[U2isthebest]

That's my take too. Although I'm listening to it NOT watching it. I'm at work and listening on the computer. Visuals do matter...remember Nixon vs Kennedy?

One of McCain's biggest problems is that he can't look Obama in the eye. Obama is talking directly to him when he's responding. McCain isn't doing that, for whatever reason.

 

[corianderstem]

At least McCain knew he'd said it wrong.

 

[Dreadsox]

I think they have computer enhanced McCain to make him look younger.....

and Obama blacker.....



Conspiracy joke....

 

[kellyahern]

Uh oh John, your sighing. Remember, sighing is bad.

 

[ImOuttaControl]

That's my take too. Although I'm listening to it NOT watching it. I'm at work and listening on the computer. Visuals do matter...remember Nixon vs Kennedy?

Well, IMO, they both look pretty snarly at times, but Obama is better at playin to the cameras than McCain.
