Final Debate Thread

[Gnu World Order]

I'll bet Obama says the word "Bush" more often than McCain says the name "Clinton."

Someone add "fundamental difference(s)" to the buzzword list

 

[JihadJane]

This whole process has sucked so bad, that there's something cathartic in the idea of it just being over.

At some point, during the torture, you just want to bend over, and take it in the ass...so it will finally be over.

Is this wrong political thinking?
(it feels slightly wrong)

Your political thinking is ok but I think your ideas about torture are somewhat optimistic.

 

[Dr Adequate]

I'll bet that McCain says "Lieberman" more often than he says "Sarah" or "Palin".

(So far in these debates it's 4:0 to Joe.)

Considering the location of the debate, which will be the first after the debate to use "We Have Met The Enemy,And They Are Ours" quote.

Meh. Despite the game, I plan to actually remember what was said during the debate.

 

[Oliver]

5 minutes from now...

 

[rdaneel]

Should add to the Obama list

"I agree with Senator McCain"

 

[Oliver]

McCain:

Reform
Maverick
My Friends
"I Know"
The name of any former politician he worked with [check Nancy Reagan]

Erratic
Change [check]
Judgment
deregulation




10 Minutes in and I'm drunk already

 

[T.A.M.]

I am actually gonna sit this one out. If McCain goes negative, It will make me feel sorry for him, and I don't like that. If he doesn't, it will be boring, and I don't like that either.

I must go rent a movie.

McCain just repeated the "Overhead Projector" bit.

That's it - it's officially a lie, not a mistake.

McCain just repeated the "Overhead Projector" bit.

That's it - it's officially a lie, not a mistake.

If that is the best he got, The GOP can kiss it goodbye now.
Serously, if that is what McCain's winning strategy is, the GOP would be well advised to see about pulling funds out of the McCain campaign, and divert them to congressional races where they might have a chance of winning.

 

[BenBurch]

Cleon, as I know he knows what a planetarium is, as he learned to NAVIGATE in one at Annapolis, I knew immediately it was a lie the first time.

 

[Cleon]

And now McCain just misrepresented what John Lewis said. Completely.

Any respect I ever had for John McCain flew out the window.

 

[dudalb]

I am not watching ,but it sounds as if he is going negative. Exactly what he needs NOT to do.

 

[TheJim]

Last minute addition to the drinking game, Joe the Plumber.

Toughts so far, McCain was decent until he became the biggest lil girl in the history of human kind. Damn, did he look weak.

 

[Oliver]

Obama is leading the debate from any rational POV ... "Whipping his you know what" my ass.

 

[rdaneel]

(running a bit behind because of Tivo pauses)

It's probably my partisan bias, but doesn't it seem that Obama is attacking the arguments, while McCain is attacking the arguer?

 

[Cleon]

McCain just called Palin a "role model to women."



Seriously, now, even to McCain supporters, there's no way that passes the laugh test.

 

[BenBurch]

Repeating the "Autism on the rise" WOO.
