McCain sure lost the debate

Commentators pointing out how McCain never looked at Obama, seemed to be looking for a fight, kept saying Obama doesn't understand - then Obama looked at McCain, looked at camera and spoke to people at home, and showed McCain over and over that he DOES understand.


The bracelet - loved how Obama retorted "I have my own bracelet",

"<>

Should be interesting. Biden has a hard time shutting up. He had better learn to hold his tongue in that debate...when he doesn't he winds up saying some very stupid things."

Yes, it should be interesting. Palin is so weak that McCain muzzled her last night, like he has been for weeks. Only an interview here, an interview there, each time a disaster.

Hi us"patriot"08, when you write in huge letters does that make what you say more right? Just checking.

And your comment about Kissinger, in its giant letters, is gigantically wrong. See my other thread on how Obama thrashed McCain last night, and comment if you care.

If Fox says it's 45 to 39 for Obama, you know it's more like 55 to 30. Fox is, after all, the Fox part of the Fox-Republican Party, a lie to the core with their pathetic "Fair and Balanced" slogan.

Murdoch has slipped up and admitted he tried to manipulate public opinion to support going to war with Iraq.

Murdoch's Fox-Republican network called the election in 2000 for Bush with admittedly no basis at all. And that was after Fox admitted they were on the phone with the Bush campaign all night.

The Fox not news Republican Network also ran the Swiftie smears on the true war hero last Presidential election. And here and now I admit I think Kerry was a weak candidate - but he was still much stronger than Bush, and certainly did not deserve to have his war record smeared.

So if Fox says it's 45 to 39 for Obama, McCain and Palin are done. Stick a fork in them.

I also suggest that anyone who cares about the truth not watch Fox anymore and never talk to Murdoch or anyone from his organizations. PS Murdoch has admitted a lot of powerful people won't be his friend because of the shenanigans he pulls with his right-wing network.

Cite a conservative rag and you'll get a conservative answer. So what.

McCain and the fops these days would tell us the sky is polka dotted if they thought that it would help them win the election.

"It is hard to see FOX as central when you compare them to the others here."

Nice try. I just detailed the election shenanigans of Fox the last two Presidential elections, and Murdoch's attempt to manipulate Americans on their opinion on the Iraq war.

In addition, studies have been done showing that Bush would have lost to Gore in 2000 but for Murdoch and his Fox network. One study showed that Fox swings communities in which they broadcast percentage points to the right. That was all Bush needed.

*** And yet living in the past is rarely a good thing - go figure!

I agree. Maybe it's time to let go of one politically expedient speech Obama made 6 years ago and consider whether his experience, or complete lack of it, qualifies him to be President. Personally, I think it takes more than experience campaigning and writing books about yourself to qualify for the "Big Chair."

Well you are certainly welcome to your own opinion. We do live in America after all. Every one gets to have their opinion - but that's all it is - an opinion. Doesn't make you right.

Pulease! McCain talked about the past too, he brought up Ronald Reagan, and VietNam.

"Personally, I think it takes more than experience campaigning and writing books about yourself to qualify for the "Big Chair.""

You mean the kind of experience McCain had which led him to declare that we had to attack Iraq because it had WMD? Or that we should have a big fat tax cut while we wage a war (no other nation in the history of the world has tried this to my knowledge by the way)?

Or how about McCain's "experience" which led him to put inexperienced Palin his 72 year old heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Or how about his "experience" which led him to erratically "suspend" (even though he didn't) his campaign so he could rush down to Washington to break up a bipartisan effort to save our financial system?

Give me a break. McCain and Bush have bad judgment. Obama has good judgment.
