2008 Presidential Election : Third Debate

[Harry Vest]

Well...

45 minutes till it starts.

 

[the iron horse]

McCain better fight tonight.

Obama is leading in all the polls.

McCain should drop the talking points and say
what he thinks.

 

[corianderstem]

Bring it on. I've got pizza in the oven!

 

[kellyahern]

Time for another drinking game? Or have we already exhausted all the possibilities?

 

[corianderstem]

If McCain turns several shades of purple, and/or steam shoots out of his ears, drink the whole bottle.

 

[the iron horse]

Bring it on. I've got pizza in the oven!

Throw a few anchovies on!

iron sliding a few cups of black coffee and various glass bottled beverages to all


No libertarian comments from me tonight.
I'm just here to view this so called debate.

 

[U2isthebest]

As per my status on Facebook, I'd like to announce that I will punch John McCain in the face if he calls me his friend even once tonight.

 

[diamond]

ha.

 

[Anu]

Hello my long lost FYM friends. Sitting down to dinner and the debate..........

 

[U2isthebest]

Here come those roller coaster Ohio voters again on CNN.

I love how John McCain keeps telling us how angry we are.

 

[VintagePunk]

Omg, poor Joe the plumber must feel incredibly used right now. lol

 

[corianderstem]

I know.

Joe, you don't want Obama to take your money, do you, Joe? What do you think, Joe? MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, JOE!!!!!!

 

[anitram]

It's official my friends.

Joe the plumber is the new my friends.

 

[Diemen]

Joe the Plumber. Really?

 

[U2isthebest]

Omg, poor Joe the plumber must feel incredibly used right now. lol

I'd like John the Senator to understand that Joe the Plumber probably won't be spreading too much of the money his business makes around unless he actually has to pay slightly higher business taxes.

 

[onebloodonelife]

I know.

Joe, you don't want Obama to take your money, do you, Joe? What do you think, Joe? MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, JOE!!!!!!

All I could think was how angry McCain was sounding while he said that. Very feisty already...

 

[Diemen]

McCain is being aaaaawfully general in his replies. I won't raise your taxes Joe. I want you to get that business, and I'll help you do it!


Uh, you mind explaining how, Senator?

 

[corianderstem]

So where do I sign up to get my cut of Plumber Joe's money?

 

[U2isthebest]

McCain is being aaaaawfully general in his replies. I won't raise your taxes Joe. I want you to get that business, and I'll help you do it!


Uh, you mind explaining how, Senator?

He'll explain that after he fixes the economy, health care, Social Security, and catches Bin Laden. So, you're gonna have to wait on that.

 

[diamond]

McCain won the tax round.

[Diemen]

Heh.

"Drive this economy into the 21st century."

We're already there, Barack.

 

[Dalton]

McCain looks a lot like Mr. Potato Head.

 

[Diemen]

McCain won the tax round.

I think he was doing well until the whole "if you don't want to raise taxes, don't raise them!" Came across as childish.

 

[skjuls]

John McCain knows how to do everything! WOW!

 

[Dalton]

I know how to do it, my friends.

 

[JOFO]

McCain is confused and agitated.
It's over.

Over.

 

[Diemen]

Once again with the massive generalities.

I know how to save money. I know how to cut spending. I know how to... etc. ad nauseum.

 

[corianderstem]

What's with the lump on the side of his face? Is it a permanent thing? I've noticed it but I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned.

 

[anitram]

McCain's tax plan makes little sense. His health care tax credit is the stupidest tax proposal I have ever heard and given how many I've heard that's saying something. It is so dumb that I've yet to meet a tax guy or gal who hasn't said as much.

And his commentary about how high corporate taxes are in America is also quite lame given the sheer amount of tax planning available to corporations in America and what that reduces the effective tax rate to.

 

[U2isthebest]

What's with the lump on the side of his face? Is it a permanent thing? I've noticed it but I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned.

I believe that might be where he had cancer removed. I don't think it was there in 2000 when you look at that footage.
