Running thoughts as I watched the debate
Unedited:
Barack Obama was fear mongering from the word go. And of course, everything is Bush’s fault. The man can’t go three seconds without lying. So is the bailout package a bad idea cause it came from Bush?
McCain, the spending of Washington is to blame! What? We need to buy bad mortgages? GAH!
Warren Buffet for Treasury Sec? Christ McCain. Are you retarded?
95% of working families would include the rich. What a douche.
My God, they’re both loser populists. What the hell is the difference?
Finally, McCain hits on Freddie and Fannie. 2nd highest in history? Hmmmm.
He says that bad loans should never have been made...but we need to help the people anyways.
If companies are borrowing money to make payroll...they need to die. He lies about de-regulation. Lies about his record. LIES. God, I want this dishonest twat to go away.
We have to coordinate with other countries on our problems? WTF? Oh yea, and Obama has no “special interests”. Or McCain for that matter.
Theresa hits the nail on the head. Obama “Well, you’re just cynical.” Great. Lies about Bush and surplusses. And of course, Dems had nothing to do with deficits and debt. Lies about spending cuts.
McCain touts McCain-Feingold and McCain-Lieberman. What a moron. Lies about Obama never going against party lines. OK, McCain is BETTER than Obama, but he’s not good.
Obama said high gas is bad. But he said before he was ok with it. If one believes that wind or solar will replace oil, they're stupid.
How is leaving money in the system (tax cuts) taking money out of the system? God this dude is an imbecile.
McCain's first good answer. On "sacrifices". Nvm, no, they just grow "more slowly than we like."
Obama. "Some of you may remember 9/11"...um all of us. The lie about Bush telling people to shop. It's all his fault we're divided! Imbecile. Jesus cries when he talks. That was one of the few things Bush did right.
Obama "It's not people's fault they took bad loans. The bank shouldn't have given them!" Fool. Earmarks are well over 18 billion every year. Class warfare crap. Higher taxes masked in neat rhetoric. What a schmuck.
McCain hits him with Jello line. Great. Good call on Herbert Hoover and raising taxes. His tax cuts sound nice. Would indeed help.
Good for Brokaw for shooting Obama down on breaking the rules.
Obama "We can't fix SS without understanding taxes". Less than 95% of Americans make under 250k. Long way of not answering the question.
McCain: "Social Security is easy to fix....did you hear Obama is a jerk."
Awesome. The solution is so simple it doesn't even need to be discussed. I shake my head.
Damnit, McCain on global warming. GAH. The only part that sounds ok is nuclear technology.Obama's 5 million jobs line is utter bullshit. It won't happen.
Uh oh, Obama and McCain agree...I'm gonna get screwed. Obama lies about the 23 times against alternative fuels. Factcheck shot him down there.
Obama sounds so stupid saying we can't drill our way out of the fuel problem. Oil is the only solution. And who the hell cares about China.
Brokaw's question about nukes is leading. The government shouldn't fund it either way.
And I'm tired of McCain saying "my friends" every six seconds. I'm also tired of the "You're Bush the 3rd" "No I'm not". It makes them both sound like children.
And Brokaw sounds pathetic begging them to stop.
Government mandate NEVER helps reduce costs. It just adds beaurocracy, which is expensive. Demanding same money coverage for those with
pre-existing conditions will riase the cost for all. Oh please, health insurers spend a shitload of money on Dems. God, neither of them are winning the debate...but I'm losing.
The line about Obama fining people for not having insurance is a lie. Sigh. The man sucks enough without lying about his record. He's attributing Hillary's plan to Obama.
Why can't we have interstate insurance. Because Arizona sucks. Great. Thank you Obama. Get hit with a clue please.
We do need to help the world...but we are not the world's keeper. We did wrong in Kosovo, and McCain is wrong to stand by it. If you're going to hammer Obama about being wrong in Iraq, admit you were wrong in Kosovo.
Oh who the hell cares about 9/11 when talking about Iraq? Iraq wasn't about 9/11. We WERE greated as liberators in Iraq. Hell, no matter how silly McCain sounds to back Kosovo (most people don't know hes wrong), Obama is stupid to CONTINUE to oppose Iraq. And what else cost 700 billion? Oh right, that horrible bailout. How did Obama vote on that....oh right.
How has our respect hurt our ability to respond? And Obama won't change our respect, This dude is a child.
We had the ability to stop Rwanda. We just didn't. I do believe that was a Democrat.....That's the first smart thing he ever said. "We can't be everywhere all the time. Some attrocities will happen." And he follows up with stupid. "It would be little cost." Iraq was still expensive before the invasion. He sounds naive.
Damnit, Somalia was a joint screwup. Bush Sr. sent troops where they didn't belong. Clinton escalated. And then Republican pressure made Clinton remove troops when they were attacked. It DIRECTLY led to 9/11.
Katie's question was the best one all night.
And Obama flubs. We lost Osama BEFORE we invaded Iraq. And Afghanistan is not the central front. Does he get his intel from a children's book? Reading an 8 ball? On the toilet reading the funnies?
Obama had a Rick James moment. "We need to invade Pakistan" "No One called for the Invasion of Pakistan." You see...cocaine is a hell of a drug.
The reason they don't like us in Pakistan is because they have a LOT of radical Muslims.
We ARE demanding Iraq take responsibility. We are sending troops to Afghanistan as we pull them out of Iraq. If it was 2005, this would be a good point. But it's almost 2009. He's out of touch.
McCain gets it right. Safety procedes progress. If the people are not safe they will not make political and social progress. And he shows he was right about Putin.
Yea, the dude who wants to spend out money to rebuild all the former Soviet Union countries is gonna have spending cuts. What a joke.
We didn't rush into Iraq. We spent a decade getting into it.
Good for McCain for saying that he'd support Israel against Iran.
Again with diplomacy with Iran. That's not the solution. The time for diplomacy has passed. We DO talk to our enemies. He's such a tool.
If Obama learns everything from his radical wife...I am terrified.
The commentators got it right. Unless you've follow politics, it was hard to see the differences on them.
If you're on the government dole you shouldn't get to vote. You'll just vote yourself more money. Stupid college students should be denied.
And everybody agrees that McCain won, but didn't do enough to overcome Obama's lead.
