Third Presidential Debate 2008

[NFD]

This about sums it up.

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.

Just because McCain is incompetent at laying a good offensive, doesn't mean that Obama's defense is "pristine". Obama is an easy target and McCain is failing regardless; that speaks more about McCain's inadequacies than it does about Obama's successes.

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.

That's funny, because it's actually leftist policies that caused the economic troubles we're in, and in addition, despite what the electorate may think, the president is not directly responsible for the economy (hi free market) nor can a new president instantly fix the issue (uh... I guess they could... uh... suspend the free market system...? Good idea!).

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.

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 as few words as that, this is a fundamental principle of capitalism. If you're opposed to this, I don't see how you could be in favor of capitalism.

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.

Which is a legitimate argument against that theory, but not capitalism in its entirety.

I think it's disgusting. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not the Independent business owners of america.

You know what I think is disgusting? This is the United States of America, however, it is not the United Socialist Republic of America.

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.
