The Debate Is ON!

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > John McCain

bring-it-onnn.jpg

It's happening!!! Yay!

With the White House embroiled in deeply divided dissent over an urgent economic fix, Senator McCain has decided to resume his suspended campaign and take the stage for tonight's nationally televised debate.

With the failed bailout talks still fresh in the public's mind, the debate will probably prove to be yet another battleground for the economic crisis.

As it should!

We need to know what our future leader is going to do about this dreary situation!

Yesterday, things got so heated that President Bush had difficulty maintaining order among lawmakers. The presence of the presidential candidates later on in the day only made things worse, adding to the atmosphere of frenzied urgency.

But, now McCain is back on the campaign trail, with Mississippi as his first stop.

So make sure to tune in tonight! It's sure to be a doozy!

    Everyone should watch this with an open mind, as an undecided voter, close your eyes and just listen, do not think of age, race, religious preference or political party, watch it as if you never heard anything about them and thay will give you a more open minded view of your choices, then go to any of the web sites and register to vote and make sure come election day even if you have to wait 10 hours to get your say do it!!!! www.rockthevote.com

  42. 42

    McCain is such a loser, we all know his stunt was just another gimmick to get the spotlight shun on him! What is sad is that Americans still believe he is different from his fellow republicans. He is only using the change card because he knows Americans Hate Bush! STOP BEING FOOLED PEOPLE!!!



  43. 43

    Mccain is going to kick Obama's ass just like he did at the church forum.

    52

    If you remember McCain wanted 10 more debates than Obama wanted. BO can give a good speech, but Hillary chewed him up in the debates with her. He lost them all except 2. It will be interesting. McCain can't give a speech, but he sure knows the facts. Obama can give a speech, but I don't think he knows the facts. I too hate both of these candidates. We sure had better out there to chose from. I'm just not into either one of these guys or SP or JB for that matter. What a mess. I vote we throw these 2 back and get some more as if we haven't had enough of this already; 2 years the compaign has been going on.

  54. 54

    Re: Charmer – apparantly…no rules……politics aside



  55. 55

    This debate has a set agenda/topic… We will be hearing the candidates plan on foreign policy… Most likely we will hear nothing on the financial situation..



  56. 56

    OBAMA PROBABLY WILL DO WELL. HE SPENT ALL WEEK PRACTICING AND MEMORIZING ANSWERS GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS STAFFERS. JUST LIKE THE BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANT HE IS.
    .
    HE WORKED ON NEW MAKE-UP AND EYE SHADOW, PICKED OUT THE PERFECT TIE, GOT A MANICURE AND FACIAL, PRACTICED OVER AND OVER FOR THE 'INTERVIEW PORTION' BY REHEARSING HIS DELIVERY CADENCE FOR THE ZINGERS HIS STAFFERS WROTE FOR HIM.
    .
    THERE IS A REASON HE HAS BEEN AFRAID TO ATTEND A TOWN HALL FORMAT. YOU HAVE TO ANSWER UNEXPECTED QUESTIONS AND ARE REQUIRED TO SUBSTANTIATE YOURSELF TO VOTERS WITH NUMEROUS FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS TO HIS VAGUE BS ANSWERS.
    .
    HE CAN ONLY DELIVER A LINE HE MEMORIZED THAT WAS PREPREPARED BY A SPEECHWRITER. THEN REGURGITATE A CUTE FOLLOW UP ZINGER ALSO PREPREPARED BY A STAFFER.
    .
    SARAH PALIN MAY BE THE FORMER 'BEAUTY QUEEN', BUT IT IS OBAMA THAT IS ACTING LIKE A BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANT. OBAMA IS THE ONE THAT HAS HAD HANDLERS TELL HIM HOW TO DELIVER THE FAMOUS, 'I WANT WORLD PEACE AND TO FEED HUNGRY CHILDREN'.
    .
    WE ALREADY HAVE A MISS AMERICA! WHAT WE NEED IS A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!
    .
    DON'T FORGET THE PAGEANT 'WAVE AND SMILE' HONEY!



  57. 57

    I will absolutely watch - however, I know any discuss is moot as both parties that come to this website will be claiming victory.

    (But I am hoping that mcCain's rage issues surface for all to see . . .)



  58. 58

    F**K OBAMA, I hope McCain punches him in the face. :)



  59. 59

    Oh yeah, I'll be watching Obama kick some McCain ass. Psshh putting his campaign on hold my ass, too bad he still had commercials running, did an interview with Katie Couric, still had his campaign people working. It was a publicity stunt, just like him picking Sarah Palin, too bad the Palin poll bounce didn't last longer, and now America is seeing the real McCain. Go Obama!

    62

    Re: Sammy – I agree. This stuff has been going on for so long I'm sick to death of both of them. I'm a Democrat, but I had it that it has become a party of special interests. Republicans got too big for their pants, now the Democrats are doing the same thing. I guess I'm just burned out on all politicians. If they open their mouth they are telling a lie.

    Re: mamajud – LOL!



  70. 70

    It is becoming apparent that McCain's very rash decision to offer VP to Palin:
    *
    *
    "Couric: “I'm just going to ask one more time, not to belabor the point — specific example in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.”
    -
    Palin: “I'll try to find you some, and I'll bring them to you.”
    -
    -
    -
    "If ABC anchorman Charles Gibson showed Palin's limitations, Couric revealed the near-total lack of evidence behind the talking-point bromides and clichés Palin rattles off in TV interviews."



  71. 71

    Re: mamajud – lol. The LAST place I'd confess ANYTHING publicly is on Mario's website!

    Oh shit, this is going to be like the Super Bowl, but cereal.

    Re: LULU~* – 51 I know! If he starts rocking he will fall off!
    Obama will look so handsome and stately next to the troll. Paint him blue and he is a little Smurf!
    I CAN'T WAIT!
    I CAN'T WAIT!
    I CAN'T WAIT!



  74. 74

    You'd think they could have found more neutral moderators… Tom Brokaw, Bob Schieffer, Gwen Ifill, and Jim Lehrer? Really?

    McCain will excel anyway, but maybe the next debate's moderators should be Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity. Wouldn't Mister Obama be in a pickle then.

  78. 78

    The only way McCain gets beat is if Obama doesn't have teleprompter issues. Then he may have to actually give answers that aren't canned. We all know he wouldn't want to do that by the fact he wouldn't do town hall style debates where he didn't have advance notice of the questions. Obama better call his Momma, cause he is going down.

  81. 81

    ok, so, I am sick of hearing about John McCain and being a "war hero". What the hell does that have to do with whether or not he would make a great president??!!! Thats like saying "I had a pony when I was 7. Vote for ME!" Where is the relavance? Republicans are using this statement to persuade voters to vote for the old hag. Four years ago John Kerry ran for president and had three purple hearts. Republicans then scoffed at the fact that he used this in his campaigne. Bottom line is that McCain and Palin will bury the United States. McCain is a puppet. He has no thoughts of his own. Palin.. well I think Palin kinda speaks for herself. She is glorified white trash. Their entire campaign is a circus show at this point.

    Perez, have you officially announced your new staff writer(s)? People on some other sites were saying you have a new ghost writer. I wonder if you could confirm this? All your political posts lately, as well as some of your Clay Aiken posts, are in a totally different writing style and seem to be very obviously done by someone other than you. Just wondering if you are going to speak on this issue with a formal statement. Sorry if I missed it, if you already did. Last I heard, you said it's still just you, your sister, & mom running the whole show.



  92. 92

    Re: Smirks – Yep, good a.m. for me too! TGIF in a BIIIIIG way, rough week. My job is boring as hell today, so I'm entertaining myself here! Nice & warm where you are, huh?! Lucky. :)



  93. 93

    p.s., I mean no disrespect by asking. It's just going around, the buzz of this new ghost writer. I'd prefer to hear it from you directly.
