twice now..mccain starts off by saying someone is in the hospital

buying mortgages to put a floor under house prices. Bad idea.

Either you pay too much, the tax payer is stiffed and bank executives and shareholders make out liker bandits...

Or

You pay too little, the the tax payer gets a bargain in the short term, but you stand the risk of spreading massive insecurity throughout the banks as their assets are marked to new, low valuations.

Fiddling with assets in the banks is a bad idea.

John McCain is repeating memorized lines. He's no better than Palin. "Joe the plumber"?

"Spread the wealth around"?!?

Like a commie socialist?

Class Warfare???

Jesus H Christ.... End. Get out now.

Obama the class warrior. Yeah. Right.

Lenin + Stalin = Obama! :oogle:

What if Joe Plumber wants to marry a man? WHAT THEN?!

i wonder if mccain knows that making little comments like "we were talking about joe the plumber" makes him come across like an old man yelling at a cloud

stump speeches. :-/

I sohuld have added "700 billion dollars" and "send it to countries that don't like us very much"

but what the heck is an 'across the board spending freeze"

what hte heck

Eliminate subsidies on ethanol. That's actually a good thing. A very good thing... He's just lost a load of midwest states, though.

Moderator: WHAT WOULD YOU CUT?!
McCain: Hold on, I need to talk about something else...

Whoa. Strong words.

"I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush you should've run 4 years ago."

He had that one planned for just that moment.

suggested blowback, "no, just 90% bush"

:lol: nice

I don't know how I feel about this format.

EDIT: I could kiss Bob Schieffer for this question. I'm interested to see the answers.

Here we go!

Terrorist question!

Maybe it was either this or fisticuffs?

"this is a negative campaign bc obama didn't sit down to town hall campaigns"

what...the..fuck

Where is Ayers?

Ducked by McCain.

One Word: Sly.

McCain weaseled out of that one, but he also called out Obama on a bunch of smaller notes.

It feels like that. I don't know if I like the physical proximity.

mccain just dodged..like crazy...

so pissed...

It's true. Obama has spent WAY more on attack adds than President Polk.

I don't like how Obama avoided specifically mentioning any smears, but I like how it turned it around to say we need to focus on defining economic policy and that there are other things that matter.

I don't like how McCain just complained about attack ads about his health care policy. That's not the kind of negative campaigning we're referring to!

Oh. FINALLY. Obama mentions that Palin didn't say anything!!!

He's been going around talking about how he's going to bring the Ayers issue right up to Obama during the debate. He didn't. That, I think, is not just going to slide by.

They opened an enormous can of racism-laced worms with those comments, and he didn't have the guts or the honesty to say it to Obama's face.

Not good.

McCain needs to let Obama speak without these snide asides and laughter.

McCain: "I saw the Cardinals beat the Cowboys..."
Obama: "Congratulations!"
ROFL

WTF is he rambling about now?!

wow...mccain is playing the victim card?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

Obama seems to be winning on policy, but McCain is clearly leading in the blink count.

Well, at least all of this absolute shite is all out in the open.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT??
I don't care about some washed up terrist????

It says more about your campaign than it says about me.

Nice.

McCain drinking game: 1 shot every time he lies. Result: Death; alcohol poisoning.

americans have gotten to know sarah palin..to know she's a role model to women...
i don't think he's asked women what they think of her as a role model..

Palin is an example to women.

what type?

Sarah Palin: A bresh of freth air.

'eliminate all need for mideastern and venuzuelan oil"....

umm..HOW?

John McCain is probably more comfortable with the idea of using whale oil.

From hells heart he stabs at thee?

Edit: holy crap Obama's giving reasonable answers about HOW he'll get us off ME/Venezuelan oil.

I too am for Nuclear Pants. I want Nuclear Pants!!
