Also, in case you haven’t already seen it: Burning down the house. (thanks to Spies, et al)

thor has been really quiet all day. This whole debate thing has a mom do I hafta feel to it I think.
Pokin’ a stick in the cages again, Jeff?
It is instructive to see what sort of supporter Sen. Obama has.
Attitude? Check.
Uniform? Working on that.
Have you noticed how thor has pretty much given up on singing the praises of O!? And since his heart was never in Maverick bashing, he’s reduced to expressing his Pain Derangement Syndrome, while people mostly just laugh at Joey Hairplugs.
There’s a lesson in there.
“Uniform? Working on that.”
Brown shirt and little feces mustache for thor.
I hope Baracky has an opportunity to hawk his gold coins.
For some repetitious lines of “eff you, slut, suck my balls!” is the high water mark of their literary genius. Upon reading the same lines directed back they then feel naked and vulnerable.
It’s never I’m OK, You’re OK. They want to ride the podium like a pony. A unicorn pony is what they asked Daddy for, and dammit, they’ll hold their breath if they don’t get one!
Yet we can’t pry you off the front of the beast.
I’m OK, you’re all fucked up.
thor’s been trying to derail this thread.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Where’s it being broadcast? I’m at work, and I have an internet feed.
If I do go ahead and do this debate thing I hope to God they address the carbon crisis. I’d hate to see that get lost in all this airy-fairy collapse of capitalism whatnot everyone’s been on about all week. The earth has a fever you know.
Never mind. Charles linked to it on C-SPAN.
dicentra: should be on C-SPAN here.
Well, the thread’s entire thrust is thor, so no derailing would be necessary, eh Plato.
Your juvenile attempts to own all the words that paint PW are no going well. Man your buttons, soldier!
“The earth has a fever you know”
The GoreGoons™ are taking care of that.
At 9pm eastern? So, like, 2 hours after Jeff posted this thread.
The earth has a fever you know.
And the only cure is MORE CARBON!!!
Oh, and sorry, Jeff, but I’ll be over at Ace’s during the debate.
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/274308.php
Yes, I’m as fickle as the weather.
that’s just an hour from now, really. I haven’t even thought about what I’m gonna wear.
I’ll be here. Not here here but at home here.
the… entire thrust
Hail teh hammer !
What Ho! Unleash the dogs of War!!!
Wait…O! was against the war, before he was for it…or some permutation of that…
Gentlemen, come out of your corners…and no hitting below the belt!
Or for no preconditions, before he was against them…or sumpin’ like that…
(He walks away muttering…)
“Gentlemen, come out of your corners…and no hitting below the belt!”
Why?
O!bama ain’t got no balls.
And ignore the remittance man – and all other trolls.
I say they need to be emphasized and laughed at.
“You can see it in their eyes as they sit and work the wheels and levers of Government: There really is such a thing as a free lunch…”
Argh…. the traffic home SUCKED tonight (thank you Jerry Brown for So Cal freeway gridlock).
Just got home and on here….
oh. Citgo is now sponsoring NPR. Who’da thunkit. Nice Chavez monies making pretty radio noises.
and sh*t I just had to sit through an anti-prop-8 ad…
They have that post-menopausal crone hoochie one hosting tonight.
Rovian Conspiracy is Live-blogging…
Another Rovian Conspiracy is live-blogging the debates….
by definition no less
30 seconds in and O still hasn’t answered the question
Obama’s first lie of the night
ok gack on the thoughts and prayers for stupid Kennedy
Touche.
We’re fucked.
Obama taking credit for warning on Fannie Mae??? WTF
Yo, yo, yo, man.
English, please !
Pray for Teddy, happyfeet.
When he croaks it’s gonna be beatification, nonstop 24/7. We should hope we can stave it off ’till next spring or so.
Regards,
Ric
guinsPen
?
Say, when does the debate start?
Obama is politicking again… is he trying (like I’ve heard) to get a rise out of McCain?
Dar,
I was trying to decipher Senator Obama.
oh. Good call, Ric. This is really hard to follow when Baracky is talking.
“hire lobbyists”
O! nice fannie mae money you have.
Blast.
McCain refuses to address Obama directly, talking at Lehrer instead.
I’m so freaked out. I can’t decide if it’s the debate or the laxative I took earlier that has me running to the bathroom every few minutes.
Please tell me McCain is coming off strong. Please.
FINALLY McCain going after Obama over earmarks
Obama “earmarks have been abused” heh
Obama is doing the class warfare thing
and the 95% taxcut LIE…argh
So, who gets paid every day?
Tax cuts will stimulate the economy. JFK proved that
“Grow the economy from the bottom up”. Riiight.
Working Americans sign their own paychecks, huh?
I don’t like how Baracky calls me an ordinary American. He’s the one whose woman can’t keep her ass out of Target.
Obama’s giving much finger.
No mention that 30 + % don’t pay taxes at all.
ah ah ah ah ah
The Obama tell that he is lying
Didn’t the Dems prevent the line item veto thingy?
Sdferr
That 30% will get a check…wealth transfer
I are not ordinary, off-track and struggling. Dick.
Wanna make it easier for people to buy gas? DRILL FOR OIL. Not a difficult thing to understand.
I know that DAr, but McCain needs to say it.
Obama’s got pouty lips.
So another opening to point it out. Will he?
Loopy talking about loopholes…rich!
After letting O get away with blaming Bush for the credit problems, I’m not holding my breath
This notional free market made Baracky a rich guy. He’s like best friends with Oprah even.
Festooned! Word, son.
McCain going to the record
Obama tried to interrupt McCain and has again
Oh, and I will interrupt you when ever I feel like it.
ok $18B wasn’t a big deal for earmarks but $4B for drilling oil is teh eeevil. What a fucking communist.
McCain is laughing at Obama…good!
Teh OIL COMPANIES!!!!11111ELEVENTY!!!!!
Obama’s 10 year energy plan….BWHAHAHAH
healthcare?
“health care” drink
nevermind.
We gonna build 200M new energy efficient cars in 10 yrs. As if.
A new grid powered by nuclear energy. Go there, John!
He’s Charlie Bown’s teacher to me.
guinsPen
Obama’s health plan … government
Obama’s college plan … government
Obama’s energy plan …. government
Hello, comrade
McCain has lots of experience sounds like.
Obama
stuttering as he reaches for his memorized speech bits
Press him…give up those social program votes!
Oy. Sweaty. And lying about energy.
a mult-I year project. He sounds so proud of hisself.
Did O just say he wants to nationalize medicare?
Obama is really flogging the Bush card
Aha, the lobbyist predicate. Oh and Boooosh.
googling for government is gayer than St. Louis and debating on Friday night put together
DonP
I’m unclear on how private insurers deal with Medicare, but yes, O wants to get rid of em
Spending freeze…
Watch O spin
INCREASE funding for votes, O!
“early childhood education” drink
Oh yes, lets do waste more money on ineffective education. Jolly good idea.
McCain …. DRILL BABY DRILL
Nuclear power…finally. Should’ve done that in ’72
Blast2.
Obama is smirking… s.o.b.
Climate change. What a numbnuts fuck.
yay! carbon dioxide molecules everywhere have the fear of God in em now baby
serr8d
Obama/Pelosi/Reid will never allow it.
“less tax revenue” Yep, especially if you go raising them.
Anyone who doesn’t need a taxcut, please raise your hand?
“health care” drink2
My values are little children. Tanks and planes…..not so much says Obama.
China said today no more money to loan to America.
But they’ve cat food if we’d like…
“it is your president” feh
Urrrgh. Don’t go there.
Tax cuts! No end of crisis without stimulus!
Bush…under the bus. McCain, et tu, brute!
Does the moderator look like a puppet?
Jim Lehrer: VIETNAM!! Now what do you say you old war monger.
I think Obama is wearing lipstick.
Politically risky my ass.
Obama “I was against this war at the beginning”
which is irrelevant
“politically risky to do so” from a STATE Senator
shorter Obama “Saddam should have been left alone”
al Qaeda is resurgent? Ha!
Building up al Qaeda cred. Nice.
Terribly risky. All those democrats in his district might have…um…I mean…Bush might have had him waterboarded!!!
McCain just put Obama’s irrelevancy on display
why does the old lesbian man keep interrupting Senator McCain?
Watching this on CNN, I think all of them are wearing too much make-up.
I mean, mom said make-up is to hide blemishes and enhance natural features. But everyone seems to have gone with the ‘more is more’ thing.
I am not gay.
Biden!!1!!1 eleventy!!
He’s bragging Biden! Can you believe that?!
That’s his job, hf. He’s just there to help.
LOL ok this is getting better…
Chicago thug
“Obama doesn’t understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy”
Obama’s smoking!
O! losing big time
Ooo, McCain’s not letting him cut in!
Obama is getting testy
Melt down
Obama doesn’t understand there is no “do over” when you have already committed troops
It certainly looks like he wants a cigarette…I know I would.
BLAR BLAR BLAR AFGHANISTAN because we don’t want people to know I tried to mess up the withdrawals in Iraq.
Ah, the 16 month timetable! snicker
What is the lapel pin Sen. Obama is wearing?
BTW, I have a tie exactly like Sen. Obama’s.
patches
“give Iraq back it’s country” WTF? We didn’t go in to take Iraq; we went in to free Iraq!
Jim Lehrer: The old lesbian thing…
“Responsibly” and “in phases”, as long as it’s within 16 months.
Baracky is lying again. Mebbe he forgot introducing legislation to cap the number of troops in Iraq pre-surge.
McCain is keeping his cool and Obama had to go to the water glass
No really – I have atie that looks just like that.
He’s also said he would invade Pakistan.
Mikey
I can’t make it out… a skinny flag pin?
Mikey – is that ‘a tie’ or ‘auntie’?
Every intelligence agency said Saddam had WMD.
“Paw-kee-stawn” …where did that pronouciation come from?
Why does Baracky say Pakistan and Taliban like a terrorist? That’s creepy.
kinship, hf.
(self-denunciation moment, that… )
I’m amazed Lehrer hasn’t cut McC off yet.
We can’t seperate Iraq from Afghanistan, and we have more troops in Iraq than Afghanistan, and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. And some other stuff. Sen. McCain mentions Alexander the Great and how Sen. Obama doesn’t understand how to send troops and getting cooperation from the locals.
Obama is backing off his “attacking Pakistan” line
‘a tie’
Baracky is bloodthirsty for some dead Pawkeestawnees.
Obama wants to go into Cambodia.
the obama “attack mccain to piss him off strategy” at work.
Obama tries to slam McCain on joking about bombing Iran
Obama doesn’t know the difference between an allie and an enemy
Barack: “You treated Musharraf the way you should have treated Saddam.”
Isn’t a 20th century mindset what Sen. Obama wants to go back to?
O! went to Pakistan. I think he hates the establishment there too.
It is a lie that they weren’t going after al qaeda.
#164
me too+ Osama and all fucking AQ
Musharraf tried to kill a former US president?
Musharraf regularly murdered his own people? WTF?
Yeah, Mikey, and I guess Musharraf was paying bounties to jihadist families
Obama “I got a bracelet, too!”
Didn’t know his name without looking. Interesting.
“we took our eye off….”
Wasn’t Obama saying this week that a President has to multitask?
Nope. In O-world, those are apparently bad things. Seeing as how he thinks we “coddled” him.
Each is running hard down their scripts.
I’ve got a bracelet. I’m not sure which killbot it’s for, but I’ve got one.
Liar.
The moderator still looks like he was an unused puppet from ‘Team America’.
McCain: “I’ve been there O!”
Obama: If I had some balls, then I’d have some balls…
Mikey
Obama has ducked any joint appearance with McCain until this debate … so I think each is trying to take the measure of each other.
Existential! word, son!
I don’t have a candy-cane tie like Sen. McCain has.
He’s not a lawyer.
McCain makes the Iran-Iraq connection
Glad all of you are here–I couldn’t make it through this otherwise. SO many things to get angry about, O!
O! Liar!
Bullshit.
shorter Obama
Getting rid of Saddam was wrong because it made Iran stronger.
Note to O: that yellow “Livestrong” thingy? Not the same kind of bracelet, dog.
Centrifuges = influence. Dubya should have bombed the crap out of Iran, or perhaps asked them very nicely to ixnay on the ihadjay.
Who does this freakin’ peacenik think he’s kidding?
Darleen:
I think they have their measures, but this was a joust that neither could avoid.
Sen. McCain is calling out Iran for insurgency stuff.
The fact that the sports bar I am in has this on the big projection screens says something. What it says I am not sure. Wish they would turn off the juke box.
O: We need Russia!!!
Is O! a Maoists? He’s got a China thing going.
tough love..O! and Dinnerjacket, sitting in a tree..
Would someone define me what “tough diplomacy” is? Sharply worded letters? In red ink?
Except that none of their neighbors like them.
I’m thinkin’ newspaper cutouts.
I just went to the head and we have some televisions running CNN here at EVIL BASTARDS INCORPORATED. What in the hell is with that graph they have going on? Do they honestly expect anyone to believe this is how “Republicans, Independents, and Democrats” are responding to this emotionally – I guess.
I came to the debates late ’cause I was talking on the phone with my little bro. The major.
Precondition-less talks brought up.
I’ll meet with anybody I want to! So there.
The old lesbian sucks. This is all just like leafing through old Newsweeks so far. I can’t believe I got dressed up for this.
That whole “talking” thingy has worked oh so well…military dictatorship mean ANYTHING to you, O?????? This man has NO concept of reality.
Obama does the “Ahmadawhackjob is not the most important person in Iran” spin
Hope he’s doing well, MikeyNTH.
“tough diplomacyâ€Â
I’ll have another Sir.
What? We can’t invite assholes over for tea?
Burns was reputed not to have opened his mouth. All he did was sit and listen.
McCain is smiling…he must have a come back
To countries like Syria? How about Iran, fucknuts?
Kissinger will be out tomorrow explaining how Obama got his meaning wrong.
“I don’t even have a seal yet.” Priceless!
Pablo, you just designed a t-shirt: Ixnay on the Ihadjay. Beautiful.
Didn’t North Korea also LIE to Clinton and take aid from us while developing nuclear weapons?
no preconditions mean ‘which is to say’, ‘explore’, and strength in our alliances, and we have at least made some progress in DPRK.
Or what?
Naieve, dangerous, doesn’t understand, doens’t understand…
I like the tone.
“Trust but verify”
Make the bad man stop!!!
How does CNN run that audience reaction graph? Are they working their thumbs like on a game controller?
youbetcha.
McCain is laughing at O again and O is looking pissed
It does seem kinda weird that Kissinger is gonna outlive Kennedy. He might could be a ceylon.
Maverick gets the crowd reacting. O! gets snippy and interrupty.
Save me Jim!
I am not parsing words…heh heh…I am NOT!
hf
that’s Cylon ;-)
Russia? All of the above.
Obama needs a cigarette after that last one.
Exactly what I was thinking RTO.
McCain is being so racist now. Why should he even be allowed to talk when Obama wants to?
When is the puppet Michael Moore to come on and blow himself up?
McCain is Spotswoode, right?
A-10’s to Ukraine (sorry, Ric). Manpads too goddamnit.
oh. We just has to explain to Russia they’re doing it wrong. It all seems so clear now.
O is going to dictate a tersely worded note to Putin.
I bet the paper will be a lovely shade of pink.
Ackjad: We wipe-out Israel!
O!: No you not!
Brain cancer is a motherfucker, ‘feets. Teddy knows he’s swirling the drain. Kissinger may already be dead, yet blissfully unaware of it.
patches, Victor.
O just lost the Charlie Gibson vote, didn’t he–allowing Goergia, Ukraine and Poland into Nato?
oh. good catch, Darleen. Also that’s almost for sure proof I’m not one.
the ehehehehit makes O! sound weird. Maybe his earpiece is bad
Oh, he just set Maverick up. I looked in Putin’s eyes and saw KGB…it’s coming.
What I hear while he blabs: I think we should just trust Russia. I say we start by letting them put “advisers” in Germany and Poland.
And there it is!
haps:
That would be a Sri Lanka.
Unless you meant something else.
Georgia was a test.
Nice catch Pabs.
If Obama was so hot about not legitimizing Amadawhackjob, why did he and his thugs make the Jewish groups doing the protest disinvite Gov. Palin?
Party First!
but but moscow not war for oil. moscow people live in peace kiss babies and smell flower
Difference: Obama says “we need a strong alliance”: platitude
McCain knows we need to strengnthen an existing one: NATO
McCain knows his shit.
Oh, my those Russian names just roll off McCain’s tongue
McCain knows the names of the political leaders in Ukraine.
Mccain is over doing this part.
McCain – takes him to school on Eastern Eurpope…
What a pussy.
Maverick has used that line a million times. How could O! possibly have thought quoting Bush looking into Putin’s eyes was a good idea?
O! “I’m a lawyer and I FORCEFULLY ‘objected’ to Russia’s invasion”
Obama is, I mean.
that’s impressive P … NPR has this on a delay. This way they can have their clips framed and ready right after.
Russia is screwed by the coming recession. Obama is full of shit on that.
Obama’s fake energy plan
Lets talk about Energy Jim, not Russia!
‘We need foresight’ like Russian peacekeeprs in Georgia.
Huh? Why invite the thug to keep quiet.
Oh. We use to much energy so we can’t upset Russia, and we can’t drill our way out of this.
Once I got a peek at Maverick’s homework….
Obama gives nuclear a chance! Pelosi, Reid, steaming now?
Baracky is going to wave his magic wand and energy is solved.
winter’s a-comin’ … we needs windmills!
This is a schooling. Heh.
Wonder how the douchebags are going to spin this on CNN and MSNBC? What can they say? “McCain looked OOOOOOOOLD”.
lol
Obama keeps trying to interrupt McCain
Nothing says climate change more that Mother Russia.
and McCain “soldiers on” HA
He’s very interrupty. I…I…I….
I wish they’d store nuclear waste in Chicago.
Asshat.
McCain’s right. Obama is completely naive. He, like his party, will govern based on feelings. I am honestly frightened if the messiah ends up potus. Like really frightened- ie worse than I was when Clinton was elected.
McCain, that is.
Rep on Acid
McCain also said “reprocessing” and O just skipped by it. Reusing it, like France does, makes very little waste to store
O! Not against “nucular” waste – he’s gonna eat it!
McCain’s done a fine job. Handed Obama a spanking I think.
Obama wants missile defense? Is that new?
How the hell does Nuclear proliferation treaties keep dirty bombs from terrorist hands?
Double for the other guy.
Pablo – help me on the ‘look in Putin’s eyes’ thing – what was the setup and what happened?
Well, not so much a suitcase. Try a truck.
Pablo
I think he may have pulled that out of his ass
One thing is for sure. This wasn’t as boring as ANY of the Bush-Kerry debates.
“less respected now” drink
Al Qaeda is never far from Baracky’s thoughts. He wants them to respect us. It tortures him.
Where does Obama go with 9-11?
suitcase nukes…..
Fear Mongering!
He just linked AQ to suitcase nukes….
Oh I hate this kind of badmouthing our country.
Pablo
Obama LIED
Obama’s head’s hanging. That defeat albatross weighs a ton, it seems.
Fuck ’em both.
George Bush is responsible for everything except no attacks here since 9/11.
I don’t want America “liked” by our enemies… I want them to FEAR us.
Darleen,
Let’s face the reality here. McCain has been around. He is just simply wiser than Obama. Of course, probably not as intelligent because we all know lawyers are ALWAYS more intelligent than fighter pilots.
Obama is repeating himself about AQ
” China” drink
Al Qaeda is toast.
Ewok?
*McCain’s done a fine job. Handed Obama a spanking I think.*
Steven Green said Obama’s coming in third in a two person debate. There was a spittake.
And did Obama really use the word “orgy” earlier ? If I had kids, they’d ask “daddy what’s an orgy” and I’d have to explain it. Thanks The One.
Our economy. 14Trillion GNP.
Obama referenced Bush saying how he looked Putin in the eye and attempted to puff his chest up as to how he’d know better. The quote is here.
McCain has been dropping that “I looked into Putin’s eyes and saw 3 letters, K-G-B.” for like, ever.
Obama is so much taller! A nishi-tron bork bork bork!
This debate if further illumination as to why Barack Obama is winning the Presidential race against his elder.
He “meets veterans all over the country” and yet can’t stop by the hospital in Iraq to visit with those troops. Does anybody get the impression the only veterans Obama is speaking to are vietnam vets.
Our focus on Iraq has distracted America from it’s real enemy…China.
Did O! really just insinuate that?
McCain: Not angry. Graph response on ‘9/11’ repeat good. Trained interrogators, no torture.
Obama: Not hesitant. Graph response better on ‘9/11. resore America’s standing very popular ith independents.
McCain: went down with his response on the CNN graph. independents below both D and R. Petreaus and I climbs above D.
I closer to D on Obama’s response.
D seems to track I on this one.
The Bush quote, that is.
School him Mac! School him!
Darleen, you are are right–the whole O! misconception that our enemies only need to be understood is what it dangerous to us. They understand us. We disgust them and in their opinion we need to be destroyed. It’s a fairly clear-cut situation in the world in which they live.
I am totally enjoying McCain’s age and experience right now. It counts.
“I don’t need any on the job training”
My daddy was from Africa!
“I don’t need to any on the job training. I’m ready right now”
And Obama responds with a story about his father and Kenya. Is he even trying ?
oh God him and his daddy issues again. He never loved you. Own it. Deal.
We don’t give a crap where you got your name O!
Barry is bringing up his dad?
And then he went back to Africa and forgot about me.
“less respected now†drink1
we all picked up on that load of horseshit coming from the Messiah.
All the best communist university professors were here then too, right Baracky?
Word.
Kenya, a Muslim country. Not really the Africa, that African-Americans relate to.
O!ingo, O!ingo, O!ingo, OBama was his name O!
You know progressive just hate it when Obama keeps repeating that lie that America is the best place on earth.
Hut Sweet Hut
“I know how to deal with our advisaries and how to treat our friends”
NICE
Wow, and we thought Jim was a help. Gwenn will show Jim a thing or two.
If using CNN’s graph moderator flatlined it.
Whoa…Cindy upstages Michelle
Wow…M’chelle has eaten a few dozen ice creams too many, it seems… )
Great closer from McCain. Probably not enjoyed by Thor as there was no fingering involved. Maybe later backstage?
I been watching on Fox.
MC, I watched Fox as well. No nassty graphs or popups.
serr8d
Michelle is a tall woman, but for all the fluff on how she is such a great style icon, that was NOT the right dress to wear.
They need to be understood, but for what they are and not some hopenchange bullshit about what they could be. Iraqis, for instance, deserve some of our hope and understanding. But Saddam was a rabid dog that needed putting down. You don’t talk to rabid dogs, you shoot them.
The same holds true for Iranians and the Mullahcracy.
Comment by Darleen on 9/26 @ 8:36 pm #
Barry is bringing up his dad?
Yes, an Ivy league man, his Dad.
But you go ahead and shine your white low-wattage bulb and dig on his daddy, you beacon!
Just voted for a McCain win on Drudge. I wonder if Obama will be asked to explain the “truth squad” while he is here in Saint Louis?
Barry Sr, bigamist, womanizer, parasite, drunk, child abuser, dead.
God bless you, thor.
“There’s something bland and policy-speak about Obama – rounded ages” from Nina! on Fox…
Direct Obama lie…the missle defense thing
Bill Kristol – “McCain got under Obama’s skin – not the other way around…”
Fox’s panel girl (name?) got caught in a Democrat talking point on the news show tonight, saying Roy Blunt had said “McCain was not helpful in the talks yesterday”. That particular meme was taken from an altered YouTube clip. So she is a what? She’s a Dem e-mail recipient with a Blackberry, that’s what she is. Oh, and a liar.
CNN has very old guys like Wolf on explaining what was just seen, but the bar cut the sound to that so it is all good.
Like I need them. Shyeah, right.
Well … that was special.
McCain was a bit nervous at the beginning, but he seemed to settle in and really drove it hard in the last half and strongly finished.
NPR in a nutshell … it’s a tie, and if it’s a tie, that’s a definite win for Obama
I was kind of wondering where they’d come down.
Y’all have to feel something for the young man. He was out of his league.
RACIST!!!
#346 Sdferr:
I would say that when I am in negotiations anyone who isn’t with me 100% is not helpful.
And if Congress had dealt with that stuff three years ago….
Oh wait – they didn’t.
hf, no you weren’t, were you? You’re really just pulling our collective metaphorical legs, right?
Sdferr
Lieberman was on Prager today and the MSM is LYING (along with the excreble Reid) that (1) there was any deal before McCain came to DC (2) that McCain ‘blew’ the deal
The DEMOCRATS had an exclusive thingy and had shut out House Republicans. McCain got them back into the game and that pissed off Reid, Frank and Dodd.
okay I kinda had a hunch
Y’all have to feel something for the young man. He was out of his league.
McCain’s speech cadences commanded respect, & Mr. Rock Star couldn’t match them, oratorically speaking.
But Blunt actually said the opposite of what she said he said. The tape was altered. Or am I misunderstanding your thrust?
I can imagine a bunch of MSM producers during the debate: “Get that GD camera off of Obama – he’s looking down, sheepish, beaten, bleatin’, laughin’ like he does when Michelle is scoldin’ him – get that camera off of him!”
Hugh Hewitt is on air now, fist-pumping for McCain. He’s incredulous that Obama brought up North Korea.
For proof, see this post.

I was just underscoring your comment. McCain WAS helpful and it’s not just Republicans saying that.
Oh, there was an altered video? How unsurprising.
#350 haps:
No you didn’t. You’re such a kidder!
Okay, there is another guy on CNN with a US flag pin. They need to get pins that aren’t all shiny surfaced because the lights just make the pin look like a block of white. They are all sitting around a kitchen island thing with CNN mugs an laptops which so not real.
Oh look. They have David Gergen but I can’t hear what he is saying – which is all good.
Oh, I was talking back at Mikey there at 358.
What’s the stupid bitch on the Fox Panel’s name. It’s driving me crazy I can’t remember.
Okay, CNN has turned to info-mercial stuff.
Tells you that they are just so far above late-night UHF tv.
O! “Teacher! Teacher! Over here! I have my hand up! TEACHER”
Both camps claim victory. What a SHOCK!
McCain needs to unpack Obama’s claim of lowering taxes on 95% of households. I think this is a big vote getter for O!
It sounds good but even Obama knows he is over stating his proposal. If you were listening closely you would have noticed that at forst Obama was only willing to say that people making 40k wont see a tax increase, later when Obama needed some momentum he started exaggerating by saying the 95% of ALL US HOUSEHOLDS will pay lower taxes.
20% of US households don’t pay any income tax, so what exactly is obama claiming here? less than zero?
Redistribution? Or was it another false claim?
A mistake or a tell? Mccain camp should push him back on that.
He loses on the class-warfare front, this would help I think.
You were Sdferr?
Next time I won’t do a presidential debate from a bar.
But that would defeat the primary purpose of being at a bar…nice young ladies who bring me cold beverages.
Yeah. He looked about as bad as Nixon with the 5 o’clock shadow. Worse, maybe. I predict he’ll try to beg off the other debates. It’ll be interesting to see how he manages it. Maybe he’ll shoot himself in the foot or something.
oh. John McCain just sent me an email. He’s on his way to Washington now. We must put our country first to solve this economic crisis. Because in the end, that’s what leaders do in times of crisis.
Thank goodness this is Friday night and I can get semi-drunk w/out all of the guilt.
McCain wins the debate and goes back to D.C. to put the finishing touches on making the bailout bill work, too…
(long slow whistle….)
Never mess with old fighter pilots. They’ll play games with ya before they pull the trigger.
Yeah, 353 I think I didnt get in the context of the outright lie I was accusing the stupid foxpanel girl whose fucking name I can’t remember of telling.
And bringing up the fact that his father was from Kenya… not an immigrant…. that is going to backfire. ALOT of people are only just now beginning to pay attention, and did not know that. It makes him appear even less… Americany.
Commas are your friend, sometimes.
Where’s Carin? Her head must be ‘sploding’
did Baracky look that bad for real? He sounded sort of schizophrenic, like he kept reaching for a certain cadence but pulling back like maybe someone had told him in his training sessions not to go there
@ 369 Victor
O! also gave a specific income….if he means household making over 250(?)K, that is alot of people who WILL have to pay higher taxes.
Oh. My. God.
CNN has Joe Biden on and the bar has no sound. I don’t know whether to be thankful or…
I’ll be thankful.
Wolf speaks and Joe scratches his head. Joe has a pen in his hand,the hand he uses to forcefully point at me. And he has a tie like the tie Sen. Obama wore. Like the one I have.
I may have to give that tie away.
I don’t think McCain did that bad.
How could Baracky have looked bad when he won the debate?
Victor
it IS redistribution… Obama’s tax “cuts” have lumped into them refundable tax credits… IE if you don’t own any fed taxes you get a check. Expansion of the EIC.
@ 381
Notice the one line from O!…. paraphrased “my running mate is a committee chairman… and HE has been to those countries, etc”
I’m watching this idiotic focus grroup on fox- “why did Obama move you” – “He cared about ordinary americans and he was articulate. McCain stuttered.” These people should not be allowed to vote.
#371 He looked about as bad as Nixon with the 5 o’clock shadow
the first thing my husband said as we settled down to wathc the debate was “is Obama wearing eyeshadow?”
Matt
I guess military people and veterans aren’t “ordinary americans”
Obama’s pulling away in the polls. I don’t think tonight will change that.
Joe Biden is an idiot. Jor B’laden.
Darleen,
It’s on McCain to make that argument. Tonight and every night that he allows O! to make that claim unanswered he loses votes.
Frank Luntz sells “snake oil”
Darleen: Well, no. We aren’t. We get reminded of that all the time.
Why do I think ‘Longboat Key’ when I look at Ms. Amanpour?
Good Lord. Henry Kissinger and Madeline Albright.
And back to Ms. Amanpour, who I cannot hear, but she is very emphatic. Her pen looks like a cheap papermate pen.
Micahel Ware looks squirrely. John King could go a little lighter on the make-up. A matte finish is for military models, not human faces.
Jeffery Toobin is engaging the Amanpour in vocal combat. No blood yet.
Victor
Tonight was supposed to be all about foreign policy. I believe the next one will be domestic issues. It WILL come up again.
“Obama’s pulling away in the polls.”
Dewey beats Truman
RTO
“O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”
*I guess military people and veterans aren’t “ordinary americansâ€Â*
Darleen- yeah, we already know the left doesn’t consider the soldier an “ordinary american”. Personally, I thought McCain spoke most from the heart when he said he’d take care of our veterans. I’m a huge proponent of more support for both our troops and our veterans and I do honestly believe McCain when he says he’ll take care of her. Obama ? Well, we know he wanted to pull troops out of Iraq a year ago. God forbid we let our troops win, we let our families who have lost loved ones in the service to stand tall that their sacrifice ended in victory.
I loves me some Kippling.
I also laughed out loud when Obama started accusing the Bush administration of mishandling North Korea. Um, hi, Madeline Albright slow dancing with Kim Jong Il.
Yeah. This NPR post-show is doing the we watched the debate with a select group of morons approach too. Matthew in Hot Springs teaches public school and he calls in and he’s undecided still. He thinks their both incompetent in a crisis. And we lost Matthew. Ok let’s take a short break. I wonder what Matthew said?
Nina Easton, that’s the stupid bitch liar person. Goddamnit.
No mention of Ayers or ACORN that I noticed.
*they’re* I meant
What I don’t like is professional blacks like juan williams coming out and saying O! was rude in the debate.
OMG
WTF is wrong with Krauthammer lately? Crap on a cracker that guy is such a freaking buzzkill.
OK – we all saw it – why the hell do all the heads have to tell us what they think we saw? In some way we all suck the media teat. Wish it actually had some sustenance.
Now they’re talking to a real live Ukrainian in the audience. He’s very self-centered, but he’s pro-Russian and he thinks either way our next president sucks. Thanks, Ukrainian guy!
Dr. K is still dismayed at the Palin pick, I think. It gave him too much pause already and now he feels like the rug could be jerked out from under his [wheelchair] feet at any minute, kinda like the rest of us if you think about it.
i got to hear that.
Commercials for allergy meds. Now ‘Art Van Furniture’. Gotta get the local ads in too.
Now back to the professional squabblers. Is it just me or do they yak more than the actual cndidates?
Who the devil is Candy Crowley and why should I care? She has a very earnest chain-mail-like necklace. Wolf has her on a big screen – probably safer for Wolf.
Oh. There’s Donna Brazile. She is standing up at a ‘Jeopardy like lectern.
Who the devil is Leslie Sanchez? She looks like ‘second wife – briefly – of someone important’.
Shouldn’t Alex Castellanos who ever he is be doing high school sports reports on am? H e looks like that. What is it with the matte finish make-up CNN is using? I don’t think these people could break a sweat without being powerwashed first.
The little guy on the end with the receding hairline looks almost human.
I feel for you Mikey. The beer served by an attractive waitperson – $3 – being subjected to CNN (even without sound) – Priceless!
I’m finding it amusing some of the Fox commentators are commenting on how “Obama really appealed to ordinary people”.
Oh yeah, I can appeal to ordinary people too if I don’t mind spending absurd amounts of money. I mean seriously- we have a financial crisis but Obama is still selling universal health care. Dear Obama- how do we pay for it without raising my taxes?
“No mention of Ayers or ACORN that I noticed.”
– O! don’t worry, this party has just gotten started.
Some Republican guy calls in and he’s blah blah blah. Now we talk to Jorge the Independent. Best Debate Ever!!! says Jorge. He liked how McCain had a nice moment with the I will take care of veterans thing. Then – finally something interesting – he says he thought Baracky’s best moment was when he said “I have a bracelet too” … and the audience laughs … that’s gonna stick then. That was definitional I think.
Ddn’t get to watch much of it, but I did get to speak with this O!bot briefly.
She said that McCain talked about being bipartisan but really was kinda mean to O! the whole, like, time, you know? And that rilly didn’t strike her as bipartisan.
*sigh* fkn idiots
/good night
“I’m finding it amusing some of the Fox commentators are commenting on how “Obama really appealed to ordinary peopleâ€Â.
– Class warfare is the oldest game in the book. It seldom is enough to win at the ballot box.
Some gay guy thinks Baracky sucks. That’s interesting I guess. He thinks Baracky should stop warmongering about Pakistan. NPR patiently explains to him how mixed up he is.
Yea, McCain really just punted on the economy. “Yeah, of course I’ll vote for it” was weak in relationship to I’ll suspend the campaign until this crisis is resolved.
I just want it to be known for the record that I would not approve of nuclear waste being stored in Chicago cause that is where Rick Santelli lives and I think he’s one of the sanest persons on the planet. Or I heart him, which is another way to put it.
urthshu
McCain was “mean” to O? But O got to run all over McCain’s talk time because he’s entitled to?
Heh. I watch these things on C Span. No talking heads, all of the time.
Sarah in Lake Geneva is upset with Obama for not kicking McCain’s shitty lying ass more better. Sarah is not very chill. We’re just gonna let her let it all out for a minute. Sarah says Karl Rove is involved. Sarah is not very chill.
There is a CNN Express bus. That’s cool! You could drive around the country and solve mysteries!
Gergen folded his laptop. The other guy has word up, but nothing on it. Why bother turning it on unless you want people to think your’e cool. Dork.
Anderson Cooper has a very rectangular skull. Campbell Brown looks almost Mary Tyler Moore like on the old Dick Van Dyke Show.
John King was holding his hands like he was cupping water. Michael Ware still looks like a hyper rodent on a coffee-buzz.
Ms. Amnapour has the pelt of some unfortunate animal on her head. It may be fake, or it may be her hair.
Santelli is a smart guy.
I really wish McCain would point out the difference between goals and plans to Obama, but I imagine it would sail right over most folks heads. It is really starting to piss me off how Obama keeps getting by with naming all these fantastic goals as if just giving them a name is going to bring them about.
I missed most of the debate, but really liked McCain mocking Obama’s “negotiations” with Iran:
“So Achmed says “We are going to eliminate Israel”, and you say “No you’re not”? Please!”
That should have been a winner, but I haven’t heard anyone mention it.
B Moe – Fox has been playing that “No you’re not. Please” – going to commercial…
Some new hoochie says it’s important how we are perceived abroad and we should spend more money on the State Department cause Nick Kristof says. NPR says McCain would for sure cut the State Dept budget but that they can’t say that specifically since McCain hasn’t said he would, but for sure, yes, he would. That’s my NPR!
Somehow the MSM will say that Mav is a RAAAAAACIST ! because he wouldn’t look at O! but chose to seemingly speak to Jim Lehrer all night…
Overall, I thought that McMav won, both on economics and foreign policy, but I’m biased…
All that said, O! didn’t do bad or anything, but he did look bad at times and seemed flustered…
Money Line : “I’m not gonna set the visitors list before I’m president; I don’t even have a seal yet…”
Ordinance delivered on target…
And, Btw I was right near the head of this line; It took zero seconds for this debate to transform from foriegn policy to economic. And Lehrer didn’t even use some cheap pretext!
I loved the “Doesn’t understand the difference between a strategy and a tactic” part. Because he’s right.
But he didn’t tell everyone what the difference is, so O! got to say “yes I do.”
And MOST people don’t know the difference.
@ 426 B Moe I really wish McCain would point out the difference between goals and plans to Obama
Or when he called him out on not knowing the difference between tactics and strategy.
great minds and all that RTO… wot wot
– I think its hilarious that the Obama camp felt compelled to trot out Viden to cover the “lack of experience” yoke O! has hanging around his neck.
– Unfortunately some people may notice Biden isn’t running for President.
This is dull though. Ok early day tomorrow. Thanks you guys for watching with me cause I was really not looking forward to it.
B Moe
I’m hoping the McCain campaign snatches that one… they’ve already put up an ad splicing together all the times Obama said “I agree with John McCain”
http://www.darleenclick.com/weblog/archives/2008/09/mccain_is_right.html
They also just played “I haven’t got a seal” from McCain too…
The freakin’ MSM is on full O! advocay mode – CNN’s poll: Obama wins 52 – 37! O! At least King says “maybe we should hear what some other one’s say”…
Fox’s ‘text vote’ mode is McCain 82% to Obama 16%…
– Fox just put up a poll showing that 82% think that McCain won the debate. 16% said O!, and 1% undecided.
– So there you go.
Jinx Big Bang!
Night ‘feets…
we should spend more money on the State Department cause Nick Kristof says
Personally, I’d rather we dissolved the damned thing and started all over again. We’ve done bigger things. And they can take the stinking CIA with ’em. Blow ’em up, they’re too full of losers for “reform”. Adios. Sayonara. Beat it jerks.
– Cholms looks like hes in shock. Heh.
Gotta fly in the morning. Thanks all from me too.
Audi
I was disturbed by how Obama was saying “Paw-KEE-stawn” (pakistan) and “Tawl-EE-bhan” (taliban)
and GW has been savaged over “nu-cu-lar”
Getting backed into a corner on Afghanistan/Pakistan, O! reminds us he’s got Biden. Isn’t that an admission of “I don’t have the experience, but don’t worry, I have an old white guy to consult.”
Zacktly, RTO, and a particularly useless motormouth old white guy to boot.
Darleen – O! is using the ‘slamic ‘nunciatin’…
– #443
– Exactly.
Thanks to Jimmy Carter, who always pronounced “Nuclear” the same way, both pronounciations are listed as proper in the Mirriam-Webster.
O’s been to Pakistan back in his
heroin dealinguniversity days.Oh, @ #18: Ace only has 282 comments at the moment.
Jeff, like McCain, spanks junior.
;D
I denounce myself for that.
Where’s JD?
– Cholms is trying to join Wolfson in rearranging the debate words already.
– He also wants to keep the poll going. *snicker*
Pat’s.
Mav:”Senator Obama has the most liberal voting record in the senate…It’s hard to reach across the aisle when you’re that far to the left…”
Money, Mav…Money!
Drudge poll is 69% McCain 29% Obama and 2% undecided. 188,131 votes
What’s a Cholms?
– The stupid part of Hannity & Cholms
– Whoa, the Dems have a platoon of talking heads trying to salvage the night for their “boy”.
plastic surgery commercials. God has a sense of humor. Middle eastern restaurant. Really sense of humor.
Soledad O’Brien shouldn’t wear so much brown – she looks like an Irish mini-series. The pearls are a nice touch. She is very earnest. She’s also got a pen in the hand she’s waving around and pointing at me.
What the devil is it with tv people and pens? Do they think it makes them look all deep and Samual Johnson like? It looks ridiculous.
Her audience looks pretty subdued – as in they were recruited at gunpoint.
Oh. They cut away from her focus group. That must have been where the SAS breeched the wall of the studio.
There is a guy from the Congressional Black Caucus on. I hve no idea what he is saying. His handkerchief matches his tie, and I do not know what his lapel pin is for.
Ted Rowlands is in someone’s house in Vegas. Get it down fast, Ted, and hit the Strip. His microphone cover is very large, he must not rate high cause he got the old stuff.
Jeffrey Toobin is what again?
David gergen has laptop open. Anderson must have scolded him.
The woman in the dark suit and the red blouse gives off the vibe of ‘do not make her your first – or any other – wife’.
John King wants people to mistake him for Richard Gere.
Candy Crowley looks very frightening. She could probalbly arm wrestle me under the table and then threaten to take on the entire bar mano-a-mano.
John King has apurple tie; Anderson Cooper has a blueishpurple one. does that mean they are close?
Gergen’s tie is blue with polka dots. Who the heck knows what that means.
That is Anderson Cooper, right? I don’t follow CNN but I think that is him.
The woman in the red blouse is making ‘Richard Gere’ reply and he looks frightened.
Gergen is turning to Toobin for support. Fat lot of good that is. Might as well take an accordian hunting.
Campbell brown was smiling like she drank the blood of a first born before it was to late.
No coffee in all of those CNN mugs. Wusses.
I hope somebody will put together the McCain money lines in a nice little vid…
MikeyNTH …. TURN ON THE SOUND.
He can’t m’lady – he’s in a bar and can’t change the channel…
I can’t Diana – I’m in a bar, and they don’t have the sound on for something this trivial.
Damn! Another jinx!
McCain already has an ad on the debate up. Here.
That ad should end with: Is Barack Obama voting for John McCain?
CNN is showing the muppet-moderator still in the hall after everyone else left. I said he was a leftover from ‘TA:WP’.
Good job, though; I can’t see the wires.
His tie is very distracting.
Oh look – they’re re-running it again. It was the beginning an muppet-moderator was waiting for them to come in!
For the love of God – haven’t we suffered enough? This is some cruel ‘Groundhog Day’ thing, right? We’re stuck here doing this live-blog of this debate for all eternity?
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss? I’ll take my tab.
Come on 1000! Comments, I mean…
What are you … sleepless in Seattle?
Yesh, m’lady…still a bit lagged you know…
Hey MC, I gave it my best ‘from my frontal lobes to the net’ try.
I think without sound – or barely audible over the jukebox – is an interesting way of dealing with talking heads. Kind of MST3K without sarcastic androids.
So far as we know.
Yeah, Mikey – I think you had the better experience. The talking heads drive me crazy.
talking heads? Pfffft..
I turned to FoodChannel … Guy is like tempting me with Lebanonese food
Baracky’s strategy seems to be “when in doubt, make up a lie”. It’s virtue is that it is simple and easy to remember. Its downside is, well, YouTube, I think.
Darleen – How does the Food Channel guy pronounce ‘Pakistan’?
Tab paid.
Going home.
Seems there might have been some Tom Foolery on Drudges poll. What was once 180,000 or so votes is now 142,000 votes. McCain still leads 68% to 30%
The thought just occurred to me that Tom Foolery is actually tom foolery.
O!: “You don’t look into the Russian leader’s eyes and try to see his soul…”
Mav: “I looked into the Russian leader’s eyes and saw 3 letters…K, G, B…”
Absolute Money, Mav !
MC
Most of Guy’s vocab is said talking around a mouth full of food so PawKEEstawn hasn’t been elicited yet.
Mmmm… Lebanese Pizza! Sounds even better than bunnies with ketchup!
Don’t encourage him. Jeff said so.
What’s up with that weird inflection when Baracky says Pakistan and Taliban? If you axk me, it sounds gay…or the way some Harvard fags would pronounce it.
But I haven’t been encouraged much lately. Come on, just a little!
I mean, really, when Jeff said that, it wasn’t like a forever edict or anything, was it?
Besides, no one has heard of the ‘dillo for quite a while. That ‘dont’ encourage him’ thing is so 2005.
PC14 – Darleen is right with you on that…
she’s in Florida, I think. away from the intertubes.
We didn’t see Carin tonight Maggs.
Oh, snap. Thanks for the info Maggie.
Did you know that body fat gets worse over the years? I just saw a commercial that said so.
We’re going to get to 500 at least. Even if I have to do it myself…
I’ve switched to UFC on Spike – it’s not like what Jeff actually knows how to do these days, but, still it’s much better than boxing…
Imo, McCain finally proved publically that it’s possible to bore holes into a vacuum. I also think this rather unexceptional, but heretofore assiduously shunned, feat, at least in regard to Human thought, might play in Peoria, especially since I know “working class”, and these people are certainly not dumb – no way, no how. Take it to the Bank. [oops]
The only question is, how many people actually work, and how many of them vote.
On the other hand, the “elite” Lib Media is going to ignore, for example, that tonight Obama intimated that FDR oversaw the Great Depression – again – as per Biden. Well, that’s what Faux Liberal/Progressive experience gets you. Something worse than Nothing, otherwise known as the “Great Nothing”. [Neverending Story]
FDR extended the Great Depression… see Jonah Goldberg/Liberal Fascism…
JP – Did you call Obama a black hole? RACIST!
I denounce myself again…
I’d post something but I’m watching the Ad, and besides, Carins not here to giggle at My stupid jokes….
– Black hole = empty suit
– Ok – one more – take the helm Capytain Darleen…..
Bwahaha!
Oops!
– Ok – now that wasn’t very chivalrous – Heh
I must be denounced and discouraged endlessly for that…
= Alright – looks like the parties over – I’m going to slam back this Bacardi;s and make like a tree and fall down.
Obama: “John is right….what the fuck am I doing here”
McCain: “What was the question again?”
My OCD observation of the night was this bit of WTF by the One:
Biden:”Yrh, I know….that Ad we ran is really fucked up.”
Pa;in:”I can see WalMarts from my front porch.”
“Oh. They cut away from her focus group. That must have been where the SAS breeched the wall of the studio.”
Thanks for that, Mikey NTH – that was “choke-on-my-coffee-laughing” good.
[Looks around…] Damn, McGehee, a fine mess we’ve made in here, eh?
Shhh! Be vewy, vewy quiet…
Someone quick! Make O! say Genghis…. Have we ever really seen him and Kerry together at the same time?
OBAMA: I  I just have to correct the record here. I have never said that I object to nuclear waste.
Yeah, I caught that one too, TSK9. Funny!
You know who Barack Obama reminded me of while up there debating old jaw-clenched McCain?
Ronald Reagan. Yep, tough, smart and affable, confident and likeable, and tall too. I bet Barack watched film of Reagan while preparing.
More like Queen Victoria.
Barry reminded me most of the cerebral, articulate Julius Nyerere (“Mwalimu” — “The Teacher”), Tanzania’s first president, who after consolidating power, expropriated white and Asian-owned property in order to institute African Socialism or “Ujamaa,” which Obama referenced when teaching his law school classes. O! needs him a little mustache.
Obama was the clear winner. mccain looked tired and angry. A real mistake on his part was not looking at Obama the whole debate. Besides that mccain just seemed to be mcnasty and mcsmirk. The GOP is filled with so much anger and venom and mccain I think clearly showed that tonight. The man has a chip on his shoulder a mile high. He came across annoyed at even having to attend, maybe that’s why he was trying to cancel this whole debate? He’d just like to not have to be on the same stage with a guy he doesn’t like or respect or even thinks should be allowed to fucking vote for that matter.
Yeah, there’s been a lot of comments saying McCain looked meaner than a piss-filled rattle snake.
So sashal, how many times did Queen Victoria try to step on McCain’s lines?
A lot of comments saying Obama looked stiffer than Queen Victoria, too.
518.
“How many times to step on McCain lies?”
I did not count….
The times where HRHQV shook his head an muttered, “We are not amused, we are not amused.”
I counted plenty.
Victoria amusing? Dancing Queen. “I’ve got a bracelet, too!”

“How many times to step on McCain lies?â€Â
I did not count….
That sounds awfully bitter, Sashal. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were filled with anger and venom. But, hey, that’s the Republicans.
Oh, and please site for me a time when McCain said or even intimated that Obama should not be allowed to vote. Pretty clumsy use of the race card there…………….
‘morning!
Other fun Barry moments:
When McCain talked about his soldier bracelet and Obama says “Me, too! and it’s …uh…uh….” and Barry has to read it to remember the name.
guffaw
yeah the bracelet was the best. “I have a bracelet toooooo!!!”
lol
I’m still trying to figure out why McCain couldn’t figure out a way to slip in that Franklin Rains, Obama advisor, walked from Fannie with 90 million over 6 years. Those kind of numbers resonate with the American people. And nobody but bloggers brings it up.
Hopefully, McCain will stop playing nice with the One and will start calling out the Messiah’s deep rooted connections to the failed economy. And look who was the most frequent reciepient of WaMu money ? Its Schumer but Obama isn’t far down on the contribution list.
The lunatics in the democratic party (which are most of the democratic party) are filled with so much anger and venom*
See what I did there ? I took Sashal’s horseshit assertion and made something truthful with it.
*Yep, tough, smart and affable, confident and likeable, and tall too.*
Unlike Reagan, Obama was vapid, utterly lacking substance and mostly full of shit. So before we start comparing Obama to Reagan, lets go ahead and be honest about what and who the Messiah is.
Matt
McCain beat Barry about the shoulder on his earmarks last night..and last night wasn’t supposed to be about the economy at all. I’m hoping the Rains thing comes up in the next debate.
All in all, it was a fairly lowkey debate. Both were pretty cautious. Barry obviously was going with the tactic that leaked earlier – trying to get McCain to respond angrily (Barry kept calling him “John” and McCain always referred to him as “Senator Obama”) but McCain kept his cool and actually laughed at some of the obvious barbs and lies. Barry looked positively peevish at times, stepping all over McCain’s talk time and trying to interrupt.
There’s a lot of talk in the media that it was a “tie” so you know McCain did better then the media wants to admit.
Obama has a bracelet from a woman who believes her son spent his last moments doing evil, and he lost his life for it. She probably wishes she’d had his brains sucked out while the umbilical cord was still attached. Obama’s life is shaped by bad mothering, and he still attracts it. Obama shouldn’t go around comparing mothers. His don’t look so good in the daylight.
I’d like to personally thank Sashal for bringing us the DNC talking point in their original, unedited, and totally unexpurgated form.
Takes skill, that does.
Baracky has a lot against tea drinking, is what I found out. I like tea – iced or hot, just not herbal. Maybe Whole Foods has crappy tea so maybe I should send him some black/orange pekoe.
I’ll like set up a website for sending Baracky tea. VRWC Tea Party is what I should call it
525
Well, unlike McCain, Obama apparently had not planned in advance on using the dead soldier as a prop in the debate.

“danial” is DataDave, by the way.
Dopinski, huh? Is that real, or are you just a big tease?
delusional dave thinks McCain lost his temper? Um, only in the same world that Barry inhabits that says Dr. Kissinger is in favor of meeting with Ahmadawhackjob without preconditions.
And it was Obama stepping all over McCain’s lines, calling him “John” and basically lying about several things.
That thin Chicago thug skin is showing.
I guess you don’t realize that comment makes Senator Obama look worse than Senator McCain.
so Sash, what does that say about Barry’s little “me too…uh uh uh” moment? Who is REALLY the one using the bracelet as a prop rather than a memorial?
meshugga
From what I’ve read, the only people saying Obama won, are those who would still be saying he won even if he had to be carried off the stage in a bucket.
The “tie” business was wholly predicatble before teh deabte even happened. All the talk about “A tie would be a win for Obama” beforehand, so that everyone would understand the “code.”
Of course McCain is meshugganer , Darleen, and belligerent on top of it
I liked McCain last night. He has more passion and much less cynicism than I would have ever expected a year ago. Baracky was same old Baracky. Very student council presidentish and defensive. He’s just not ready, but he would have made a dandy vice presidential candidate I think.
Everything will be basically a “tie” until election day. That will hold unless Obama gains an actual (outside the margin of error) lead or McCain gains a (so huge it is undeniable) lead.
The News business demands a close horse race to keep ratings up. They will maintain that “tie” as long as possible. The polls released are only there to maintain that illusion.
Well also geoffb I think the tenor of last night’s debate means expectations of these debates being game-changey are diminished. The polling at this stage of the race suggests that this is a very good thing for Senator McCain. Baracky peaked too soon. Debates is just accretive overexposure now.
I rather like that comment. I will go post that on the other thread what is more fresher.
I like your comment too. It confused me on the other thread as it came just before I wrote over there.
Thought for a second you had channeled “Medium”. :-)

Where was McCain “belligerent”? Where did McCain interrupt and lie? Are you living in Bidens alternate universe? The one where FDR is a 1929 television star?
Good job little thread!
