Yep, as we watch the real-time results of the 2048 elections flicker in over the holovision, a string of micro-wind generators fluttering like hummingbirds outside the window, I'll set my healthy and well-educated grandkids on my knee and tell them how Obama helped steer America away from becoming a fascist plutocratic oligarchy.

Sen. McCain won the debate and thank God because

Obama is a socialist and his supporters should
wake up and vote for Sen. McCain too
Sen. McCain should continue to make it hot for
Obama and win the election. Not only is spread-
the-wealth Obama a socalist but his friends are
dangerous and therefore Obama has a questionable
reputation which McCain should continue to zero
in on and win the election. I shudder to think
what would happen to us if Obama won. This
guy is not qualified to be president of America
and he is unfit as well. He belongs in jail.

McCain didn't win anything with his 'pat' answers that you could tell were overly practiced and thrown out to questions they didn't quite fit. He did well enough, though, that he shouldn't be too embarassed. I wonder, though, if the shaking in his hands was being nervous or early onset alzheimers. It had that circular twitch aspect to it that I so often see in hospice work.

As for socialism, like most neo-CONS, you wouldn't know it if it bit you on your big fat arse. BushCo has redistributed our wealth into the pockets of corporations and corrupt bank officials, not to mention a wall street which played loose with the laws and lost (and should have lost). Not to mention the nationalization of banks. *That* is socialism. Of the very worst kind.
I don't know where you poorly educated morons get your information. No wait. I do. McCain/Palin talking points. Which have been show to be out and out lies. I don't want a liar to be President. Especially not one who continues to lie and froth at the mouth when called on his lies. -

As an independent who's voting for Obama, I'd have to say McCain won the first half of the debate and the rest was a draw. Obama became better at defense during the latter half and was able to deflect McCain's attacks. Problem for McCain is he didn't do anything to stop Obama's momentum. Short of a major scandal, Obama is going to win this thing.

I still don't understand why so many of my fellow Americans are against socialism. France, Britain, Canada... all socialist countries. Those countries have excellent health care and education. The worst thing we have to say about Canada is that they are beer drinking, maple syrup eating and polite... sounds horrible! I am not saying I want to be exactly like these countries as we have so much more to offer but we won't be able to advance as a nation if we are so sick and uneducated that we can't stand up and fight against our biggest problems. If socialism is going to get me health care and a better education I am all for it.

As a Canadian, I do not want or need what you have to offer, most likely we already have it, and if we don't, well we don't need it.
Comments like that tick me off as I am not, never was or ever will be, whether as a man or a citizen of Canada inferior to you or USA. -

Obama won. McCain used the same attacks and when Obama explained them away McCain just repeated the same attacks. McCain claims to not be a continuation of Bush but does nothing to show how he is different. Even his health care plan is one laid out by Bush in his State of the Union speech 2 years ago.

McCain looked frustrated and lost .... and I believe he is. he can read the writing on the wall.... he has lost. Maybe if he hadn't focused on destroying Obamas character and encouraging others to do the same ...he may have done better. He didn't though, he was unable to see how this would reflect badly on him and his party ..... He was destined to fail and he set thr path to his failure.

without the negative campaigning, McCain had nothing but 'he's inexperienced and I was a POW' in addition to the traditional GOP platform [party of morality, pro-gun, pro-life, fiscal conservatives [!] against the 'tax and spend party' etc.]
not a lot to run on, ESPECIALLY when you've got the albatross of Iraq and the current financial crisis around your neck like the proverbial millstone, and when you yourself have said you voted along the lines of the party and president in power at the time of those two things, over 90% of the time
there was just no way to distance himself from Bush after he admitted that 90+ thing. Too clear, too believable-and McCain said it himself, now way to refute it
I think the negative campaigning galvanized his in-the-bag supporters mostly, but may have gotten a few on-the-fencers' votes thru fear and smear and made it a little closer
but barring a major CLEAR AND BELIEVABLE scandal from Obama, McCain was just a deckhand on a sinking ship, doomed from the get -

"destroying Obamas character and encouraging others to do the same ". Didn't need encouraging. Obama purposely dodged the ACORN issue. But at the same time, I don't think it a wise move for McCain to pursue the Ayers issue either. He should have left that out, IMHO.

McCain clearly Won! He's back, and I have made my decision to vote for him, because he represents ME not a Welfare SSI recipient that wants MY MONEY AGAIN!
Reply
Obama is a typical Hoover, and only wants to lie like Clinton during Campaign, right after his cut-middle-class-tax talk turned into higher Middle-Class taxes!
Obama's very clear, uppity-proud pompus attitude, extremely un-apolagetic over the shrewd way Senator Lewis spoke about McCain & Palin, if YOU READ IT YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT HE SAID!, Obama Loves African Americans to TALK DOWN TO WHITES, in particular he has vengence in his heart for Elder Whites, like my Grandparents, and I will have NONE OF THAT.
There is actually a growing Movement of Middle-Class to Upper-Middle Class taxpaying workers, that see rising Entitlement costs and MORE new Entitlements buy Obama, that will cause MASSIVE RETIREMENT, either Early Retirement or take their Retirements ASAP, so as NOT to have to pay Obama's Tax and Spend on Entitlements Agenda.
Obama is classicly Open Book, Racist, Revengeful, Socialist Pro Gigantic Government Entitlements.
His love for Swollen and Bloated Pork Barrell Entitlements, will cause the US of Entitlements to EMPLODE!
When will Obama cause the US to EMPLODE From Entitlement Overbloat? Between 2010 & 2011 for sure, no later.
McCain will CUT THESE BLOATED Programs, because SSI's Pay Zero Taxes! They go to college free, their whole SSI family get's to go to college free. Free SSI Medical Everything and DiVinci Caps on their Teeth Free, Free Food STamps, the SSI's CAN OWN A HOME OF ANY VALUE WHATSOEVER, even a million dollar homeowner CAN collect Tax free $925 per person of SSI in the household!-

Obama and McCain are both interventionist socialists. Yes, Obama would not have gone into Iraq (supposedly) but he has no problem intervening elsewhere. The debates have been about specifics of the same brand, not fundamentals like "How is it moral to tax ANYONE any amount for expenses that do not fall under the powers of the federal government under the Constitution.?" We've been duped into accepting tweedle dee and tweedle dum.

Take a look at all the programs and tax breaks that McCain is offering. A freeze in discretionary, non-military spending isn't going to come close to balancing them. -

Jose here's how Obama's Presidency with WW-3 will go.
Reply
Obama will pull US Troops OUT of Iraq. Obama will overfill the Region in-between Israel & Iran, that's Afghanistan and because Obama let the cat-out-the-bag force our US Troops into Pakinstan.
So, looking at a map, I see that Obama will have the US Troops ClusterF*&*(( in Pakinstan & Afghanistan, WHAT MORE COULD HIS PALS IN ISRAEL HE OWE'S FOR THE MEDIA HANDIWORK THEY HAVE DONE FOR HIS COULD THEY WANT!
This is EXACTLY where Israel wants a Mega-Ton of US Troops placed! It serves Israels purpose!
Israel is waiting, waiting, nervously anxiously for Obama to hurry up and Win, and hurry up and pull the Iraq US Troops OUT and PLACE THEM in Afghanistan & Pakinstan.
It's inbetween Israel & Iran.
Israel will then--------->>Fire the 1st Missile to --->>Iran!
Iran, overjoyed that Obama the Unexperienced and owing the Jewish people for controlling the MSM MEDIA for his thru the Entire Campaign, will FIRE A MISSILE BACK TOWARDS ISRAEL! BUT------->> Accidentially striking OUR US Troops right there in Afghanistan & Pakinstan....See!
It's what Israel and Iran have been waiting for!
Israel will DEMAND Obama fulfill his PayBack!
He OWES THEM BIGTIME for the Wall Street BIG MONEY from Goldman Sachs, remember them? They gave Obama's Campaign big big Wall Street money, as so did other Jewish Wall Streeters to Obama!
Obama has been lavished with splendorious adoration by the MSM Media! All Jewish owned and controlled!
So, Obama owes Israel OUR US TROOPS to stand by their side in a WW-3 Battle to the End!
If Obama refuses as Jesse Jackson says he WILL, he's in a Big Lot Of Trouble and Obama knows this! Obama WILL start the Draft, and WILL have to involve the US into a WW-3 Israel against Iran War!
If Obama refuses, the Jews will come for payment...........And that ain't good for Obama....OhNo!

I also want McCain to Win, so he will cut 'Section 8' that the Demogrants have OVERFUNDED, and caused inner city bums to move to my city to Destroy it!
Reply
Google: Antioch, California Section 8
They will have to lEAVE, and my City will come back to normal once they do!
Obama will only OVERFUND Section 8.
Section 8 has recieved 2 HUGE Fundings HR-1851 Maxine Waters and HR-3221 Pelosi, and SSI is getting a raise for Janurary 2009, and they pay ZERO TAXES, and get absolutely everything else Free and then some.
This Entitlement Mania of Obama's will Cause a bigger Depression than the 1st one.
Because Obama is like Hoover, and Roosevelt invented and implemented the Welfare system to get America OUT of the Great Depression.
But, Obama is going to ADD TO existing Entitlement Programs, and ADD 2-Trillion in NEW Entitlements.
I don't care if he quits the War, ends the Military, Taxes ALL rich people, He Spends TOO MUCH AND Plans To Spend Even MORE.
I and many others WILL RETIRE EARLY, Poor Ourselves down, so as not to get STUCK paying for YOUR Entitlements.
Then, Entitlement Emplosion Great Depression #2, No More Entitlements EVER AGAIN! -

While I absolutely still support Obama, McCain looked the best he ever has in a debate...& yet...still not good enough. The only way he saw to come out looking stronger was in his flailing attempts to attack Obama again, reiterating his smear ads, because he has clearly given up impressing us with his ability to stay on point. (Similar to his running mate when she was in the debate). Obama's ability to stay calm & on point & focused on the issue at hand...resilient, making decisions & answering questions with absolute clarity, calmness, yet with compassion & the awareness that it is going to be a process. This is who I want to see running this country the next 4 -8 years. McCain doesn't even look well. & you know if something were to happen to him who we would have in office...How scary is that

He will bring the US into the largest Depression in the History of the World, caused by Entitlement OVERLOAD!
He's got way too much he wants, and wants more for what we already have, and this is WHY we are where we are right now!
It's the Demogrants that have overspent for the last 2 years.
ACORN will never be prosecuted under Obama, and the CROOKS in the Grand Theft Demogrants will walk, and continue to Greedily Steal, Lavishing MORE AND MORE Entitlements, to keep the masses happy, but it will not be enough Income to Match the Put Out of All that Tax Free Money.
Oh, and person Up Above that Talked about Joe the Plumber, I DON'T CARE ABOUT JOE or his lack of License, at least he's not of SSI!! He pays Taxes.
What you better worry about is:
The Back To The Land Movement #2
Alot like the Original Back To the Land #1 with Cosby, Still, Nash & Young playing in the background but with a Twist.
We are EX-Demogrants, workers that are saying, "We Have Had Enough of Demogrants and Entitlement OVERSPENDING"
And, we are going in Mass to become living independent of Utilities, on our own lands, yes we will pay property taxes, BUT FORGET OUR PAYROLL TAXES, We are Bailing Out On YOU PEOPLE that have been getting away with way to much Gratis/Free for much too long, and Obama is the Straw that Broke the Taxpayers Back!

How about we prosecute the crooks in the Bush/McCain administration first? We can start with KBR/Haliburton for screwing over the troops while pocketing billions of dollars in kickbacks, hidden money and no-bid contracts and then move on to the wall street criminals who walked away with golden parachutes despite having lost billions of dollars and caused most of America's retirees to lose their retirement portfolios with their criminal actions.

I can appreciate your personal views, however, I sense a lot of anger. You seem very sure in your position so I am sure that nothing I or anyone else has to say will change your mind. I am impressed with your ability to forecast the future "the one that will cause the great depression #2". I am not sure where or why you feel this way unless you only feel this way because that's what McCain said in last night's debate... and then compared him to Hoover as you did above. It worries me that there are citizens like you who take what someone says as face value. I disagree with some of Obama's plans but I disagree with a lot more of McCain's plans. It's funny that when talking about Health Care McCain said that you will be forced to provide Obama's health care plan if you do not offer one yourself. The terrible health care plan of Obama's is also the same Health Care plan for McCain. It seems to suit him just fine. And the company should be fined if they are able to afford it and don't. McCain just assumes the employer will get a different plan and take the $5000... but given a choice between providing a plan and providing no plan, they will choose no plan because that's what they are doing now. Think your own thoughts... that's all I ask. More education for our children will help allow our children to think their own thoughts down the road... for now, please do more research.

Obama's job for the next 19 days is to keep the ground effort rolling to get the vote out and not let people start taking the outcome for granted so much they don't bother to vote. That, and they've got to stop the Republican effort to massively disenfranchise legitimate voters in battleground. That fight is already on its way to the Supreme Court, where the Republican appointees that elected George Bush in 2000 still sit.
