Interesting observation: McCain is the one talking about health care like it's a commodity.

:yes: Comparing it to other "things" you buy....

Actually I think he said "stuff" but whatevs.....eww and that hair transplant joke? Barf.

Obama's definately sounding better than McCain on foreign policy.

 

[stacey bo bacey]

I always start zoning out.....I haven't been listening..but I'm voting for Obama so whatevs..

Ok tuning back in now!

Tehehe...he's just so funny.

 

[stacey bo bacey]

I'm gonna sound like a *****, but that woman in the background with the red hair pixie cut & glasses seriously needs to soften her face when she knows she's on TV. She looks like a huge log is up her butt!

 

[pwsoldier]

Yes, sanction Iran!!! It worked great on Iraq, after all.

:hearts: on Obama's cute answer to the last question.

 

[pwsoldier]

Ack! Now they're blocking my script!

That's why I love Brokaw!

Yeah, I got a kick out of that too. I don't have room to talk though. I only recently bought a digital camera. When Bush and Condi visited Kuwait in January I was stuck taking pictures on my cell phone.

It was more exciting than I thought.

Although I take McCain for a complete idiot on foreign policy, I thought that he came on a lot stronger than Obama. Obama didn't seem like a wuss, but McCain didn't stutter or mince words when it came to national security, etc. That was perhaps when he spoke most clearly, yet he criticized Obama for speaking the same way about Pakistan.

I think that Obama won.

Yea I can't really, either. When I was growing up, anything important my family ever witnessed was captured on disposable cameras. And we always had like 7 at a time..grabbing for the next one as one ran out, hahahaha...I blame it on our Southern-ness.

Question: Why do they both bend the truth or even lie when they know facts will be checked right after or the next day?

No clue. I found myself asking the same thing last week during the VP debate. You'd think they would know better.

OMG! McCane's cackle reminded me of the Crypt Keeper, only creepier! Bwahahahaha!

McCain had the upper hand in lies/breath. He outlied Oabama 10 to 1!

Because people seek validation, not verification. They nod vigorously, not because they agree with the candidate, but because they believe that the candidate agrees with them. And they are wholly uninterested in learning later that they were wrong.

Maybe they think some people will just stop watching or turn off the TV after the debate and be like, "Ohh that was a good debate. Durrrr. *drool*"
