The Debate

8:08 McCain seems tired or a little off his game. Not a good presentation

8:10 Obama brought up Joe The Plumber: Gives McCain a major opening to explain how "spreading the wealth" means SOCIALISM - economically, socialism just doesn't work!!

8:12 C'mon John - fight back!! Nail Obama's butt on the tax issue. Never raise taxes on the cusp of a recession - and God forbid you raise capital gains taxes in a slumping economy!! Does anyone remember President Hoover (well, neither do I, but I read about him) implemented a very Obama-like tax plan during what SHOULD have been a recession in the American (and then global) economy. Instead, the dunderhead (along with some other dunderhead moves by other peeps) raised taxes on the people WHO MAKE NEW JOBS!!! It doesn't take a nuclear physicist to get this. The upper level income peeps are the ones who create opportunities: new businesses, meaning new jobs, meaning opportunity for more people. Geez, wonky lib economy types are so infuriating sometimes! Dang, they've moved to another question.

8:18 YAY John!!! Nail Obama on the earmark issue. Fight him!

8:20 Uhhh, Obama seems to think he's runngn against George Bush.

8:20 WOO HOO JOHN!!!! You ain't Bush!!!! Keep on this, McCain. You're doing well on this topic. Keep Obama on the defensive.

8:23 Obama is a little flustered when he's on the defensive. He loses some of his "Messiah" sheen.

8:25 Will Obama repudiate Lewis' remarks at the behest of McCain or not?


LIE - 100% of McCain's ads are negative???? LIAR. Filthy stinking liberal liar - and the media just lets it float by. ARGHH!!

8:30 McCain is calling Obama on some of his lies. Good. Don't seem to whiny, John - it's not your style. Attack - be the warrior, not the whiner.

8:31 And McCain noticed that Obama did not repudiate Lewis. Hmmm

8:32 Obama is weaseling out of it. Dang.

8:34 Uh uh uh ya if uh uh umm uh ...Obama is losing track. McCain has flustered him with the thing about the T-shirts that said "Palin Is A C***" at Obama's rallies. And Obama turns it back to the economy - and McCain returns to the character issue. Way to keep your memes out there, McCain!!

8:36 Ayers, finally!! Okay, Obama says Ayers blew up things when Obama was 8. What the (insert bad word here) does that have to do with Obama associating with Ayers or not? Did Obama associate with Ayers when he was 8? Of course not!!! Hitler did some bad things when I was not even born. So if I associate with Hitler now (admittedly hard, since Hitler is dead....or is he?), it's okay because Hitler did all these things when I wasn't even born. How disingenuous, Obama. Intellectually dishonest. You are known by the company you keep. It DOES reflect your judgement, your thoughts, your beliefs.

Okay, can't keep up with the debate, with blogging, and with tweeting. Signing off for now.

And watch the videos on the three previous posts. Worth it
