Members Wales2004 Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 I don't think it helps McCain to have the media focusing on his contempt for Obama. It's ridiculous to keep making these arguments that you can work with Democrats when you can't even look your opponent, the Democrat, in the eyes. After the previous debate, someone (I think Chris Matthews) said McCain sort of looked troll like and so yesterday after a point, that image cemented itself in my head. He's too angry and charismatic he's not so he should lose the anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 If McCain really ahs the answers to our questions, he would do himself much better to explain to us what he wants to do. I may or may not agree, but at least I can respect him for putting his ideas out there. But, to answer "who would you nom as your TS?" and say the lady who started Ebay (Who has just laid off thousands of workers) while Obama actuall said a man who I have heard would make a great TS, spoke volumes. Maybe McCain doesn't do that because he's scared he will come off as not knowing what he's doing, and it will make him Bush-like if he starts naming friends of his instead of people who can do the job (I don't care if he put friends in there - just make sure they can accomplise something). I don't know. Maybe they both will have these deficiencies fixed by next Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roman Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 You should have "suspended" your work day, and told your co-workers that you would not return until there was positive movement of your cold leaving your body. And if they asked from where......you coyld have said "By my bowels". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoTheGreat Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 Back when it was Barack vs Hillary. This lady said that the white Democratics men was voting for a Obama because they didn't want a woman. But when it comes down to Obama vs McCain they will vote for McCain because they can't vote for a black man. My thing is now that Mccain got Palin who is slow in the head. Are these white democratics men still going to vote for McCain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 I kind of don't think so since McCain was taking the gloves off and all and this is what it looked like and the whole Town Hall setting was supposed to be his forte' and this is what we got.....'see the theme. McTechnology savvy threw eBay out there since he couldn't tell that sell a plane on eBay story that makes them all technologically advanced and light years ahead of Obama. He should never had said crony because he's got to be the illustration of it in the dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 What bullshit. But I like Roman's idea! Anyway.....feel better soon my man. Mo, there probably are some people like that. I can only speak for myself, as a white democrat, that there's no way that I could ever vote against someone simply because of the pigment of his or her skin. I would hope that most Democrats feel this way, but whose to say. I recall during the primaries that there were some exit polls (in WV I think) that showed some white people voted for Hillary based on the fact she was white. Frankly, it scares me that there are people out there that still feel this way. As long as African Americans have had the right to vote in this country, they have had to vote for a white person for President. I don't recall anyone asking the same questions of them. Why? Apparently, it was a non-issue for them, as it should be for white people. Anyway...I'm rambling on now so I'm going to simply stop typing!

Members Wales2004 Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 Rambling is my specialty so here goes: So I was reading Nora Ephron's take on the debate and she said she was shallow and she mentioned something that bugged me as I was watching. McCain's heavy breathing....for a split second I imagined that breathing on the other end of a phone whispering obscenities. After that I thought he might work himself into a frenzy and pass out. I know this has nothing to do with the issues......I could spin it as a health concern though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Greg's GL Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 I came across this commentary by Roland Martin on the McCain/Palin use of Ayers. This man makes a good point. Why Ayers case is risky for McCain/Palin This excerpt is [!@#$%^&*] brilliant, IMO. This man is my new favorite commentator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 I watched The View for their discussion of the debate and I feel sorry for anyone who is getting their information on the candidates from this show. I don't know how Elizabeth Hasselback can see straight with all that contempt for the Obamas. Maybe she's teaching her children how to hate like that. She said that she hopes Obama doesn't drive like he debates because he ignored the red lights and Whoopi decided to point out to her that McCain wasn't any better with the lights. It takes some special kind of people to have that much venom in them for one man who hasn't done anything to them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 I read this article earlier this morning and I agree wholeheartedly with it. Roland Martin is an admirable no bull, no bias reporter in my mind. He is spot on and I hope his argument proves true. It is clearly a smokescreen to distract voters away from the real issues of this campaign. McCain aides are clear in their strategy to take this debate away from the issues, because on the issues they know they lose, and lose badly. After the debate last night CNN had alot of poll numbers, one being on the issue of the economy. 60% view it as the top issues. 59% favour Obama on the issue, 37% McCain. One senior CNN analyst John King on those numbers stopped short of declaring the campaign over. The economic issue won't go away, despite McCain and Palin's staunch attempts to slide it under the rug. This is the man you want as president? Sweeping the top issue under the rug in favor of stuff no one losing their job, home, and savings gives one damn about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted October 8, 2008 Members Share Posted October 8, 2008 Here's another reason why McCain makes himself look stupid....he's questioning Obama's judgment about Ayers when he has questionable ties himself but check this out: McCain Trumpets Endorsement From Figure Of Foundation That Established Ayers Board Seth Colter Walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
