Third Presidential Debate 2008
This about sums it up.
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...photos/247179/ McCain was spending more time attacking Obama, and less time talking about his plans. He also kept stuttering, and twitching whenever he wasn't talking. Obama remained tranquil the entire debate. |

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
The only way McCain was going to win this last debate was if he could throw Obama off his pristine defense, which didn't happen in any of the debates.
I know McCain knows he can't keep up with the debate because he's fighting a losing battle for his party. Republicans today are sticking to policies that don't work anymore - plain and simple. Democrats today are seeking a new and improved changed that will help Everyone as a whole. Obama is absolutely right when he says we can't afford 8 more years of risking a handful of people making all the money. In theory, it might make sense, but people today are far too greedy and selfish with their money that they don't want even a little bit of "their" money to trickle down to those less fortunate. I think it's disgusting. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not the Independent business owners of america. |

I laughed so hard when that judge dude asking the questions said something about USA spending the most in the world on education, yet the average intellect after school (quitting or graduating) was some of the worst.

Great depiction in that picture there, I love it.
I thought they both did pretty well in the debate. |

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
Why was McCain so angry? Dude, calm down. That kinda speaks about his character and how he could act in the white house. Not a good sign.

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
Wow. You all fail. When Obama wins and this country goes to ****, I would normally tell you all "I told you so," but the internetz will probably be killed by a suicide bomber. Oh, and in before lock. XD

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
Obama destroyed McCain in that debate, holy **** it was unreal. I just finished watching it like a few hours ago. I at first wanted McCain to win this election, but because of they way he always attacks obama and doesnt even tell everyone his goals. the fact that Obama is well kept up with his facts completely made me change my mind Obama is definately fit to be our leader.

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
I never wanted McCain to win, I didn't like him from the primaries. I agree with AOD in the sense that all McCain ever does is "LOOK AT ME, I'M A VET, BLAH BLAH SOMETHING BAD ABOUT OBAMA" and never really says anything about his policies. Obama has stated his policies and ideas pretty clearly, and from what I've seen in debates takes a mroe defensive than aggressive stance.
Additionally, if McCain makes it to office *shudder*, Palin will end up President. Which scares me more than McCain in office.

But you're right. Simply being titled "Republican" is enough to make it an uphill battle for him, regardless of what policies he may be in favor of or opposed to. But when the Republican fails to put himself up as the one who will lower taxes, it's not as clear cut as "he's fighting a losing battle for his party". You put a good Republican in McCain's place, and they'd be able to manage a close fight, at the very least. Quote:

But I guess fighting is useless at this point. Even the Republicans in Washington are in favor of socialist tactics. They may be against universal health care (which is, I'd say, one of the most favorable of all socialistic policies), but they're not opposed to nationalizing other systems. |

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
what i truly don't understand about american politics is how poeple still rely on what the candidates say, especially about republicans. the republicans keep asking people to follow an indefensible logic of stillness, perpetual war and blind acceptance of the good 'ol values. i couldn't even call those people nostalgic of the past since their ideas are so horrible that i sincerely hope they are beaten by obama. politics aren't some sort of entertainment or a talk show, although my impression is most people think so.

Re: Third Presidential Debate 2008
Not to be a hater here but I think obama's plan to take money from people that make 250K and up and give it to people on welfare some of which who dont even care about getting jobs isnt fair to the rest of us because there are some people who work their asses off and they dont get anything and then you have the people who just come here and mooch off our government.

And yes, nothing at Obama's rallies are as low as what was happening at McCain's, but to make it sound like there's nothing would be incredibly naive. Quote:

You take away the greed with Robin Hood tactics and you guarantee that the people at the bottom will become dependent. We already have people at the bottom on welfare who are complacent. Is giving money to the jobless at the bottom going to motivate them to work? No. Is giving them "free" health care? No. You can't say "oh let's just give them some money and that will make them change their ways and become a good contributor to society". No. It doesn't work like that. Quote:
And I think you don't really understand the system. "Capitalism" does not mean that those with money own the country. They can fondle the market all they want, but the government should be untouched (don't get me started on lobbyists, that's a whole other ordeal).
