October 8, 2008 - 05:28 ET by PA ConservativeOur boy just lost the election. I'm contacting realtors in Canada as we speak. Four years of Obama will be more than any of us will be able to tolerate. I thought McCain's performance was abysmal. I guess he doesn't have the balls to be president...no bringing up of Ayers, Wright. No questioning of how the Messiah plans to pay for the "tax cuts for 95% of Americans". He needed to play tough last night and instead he played Harvey Milqtoast. Bad night in Bedrock, boys.
It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.

Patriot POWs get an A!
October 8, 2008 - 10:19 ET by MaximusBraveheartHe is a lot more trustworthy than far, far, far, left Obama. So the actual words he says are an "A" because they are not totally empty like Obama's campaign. Campaign is the operative word for Obama. It is like a game for him where he gets to Divorce HIS Past and get to plan whatever the public wants to hear so he can get into POWER. Like his signs said in his voter registration drive; it is about POWER.

I had to chuckle when Barry spoke of Delaware... the unregulated State credit card Companies flock to. I also had to wonder... if it was true Granny was dirt poor and his Mother lived on food stamps.... upon whose coat tails did Barry cling to arrive where he is? Why does he not mention his years in a Mercer Island School, his Grandmother's wealth, Columbia's Profs and the money that brought him to being a nominee? I also enjoyed the slip as he referred to his "first" 4 term. Buh Bye Barry, we're not going to miss you.
I am so disappointed. I
October 7, 2008 - 22:34 ET by MazziI am so disappointed. I gave both of them a C, but honestly, McCain failed, bigtime.
He had SO many opportunities to punch Obama and show the country what an empty bag of air Obama is, and McCain missed them all. First and foremost, he needed to say "I AM NOT BUSH"! Second, he needed to ask the public how they can trust thid guy with all his weaselly connections and bad judgement. bzzzzzzzt. nada.
At least McCain did no harm, but it's going to be a hard fight. Hopefully Palin can pull him up. Is it too late to swap the top of the ticket?
Anyway, I am not giving up. McCain may be the media's pick for us, but I would still rather have him than the smug socialist.

October 7, 2008 - 22:49 ET by MazziI would agree, but I made that mistake once before. I voted Perot and let Clinton in. It was all my fault!
That's why I'll vote McCain, even though he is not, and would never be my candidate of choice. This election especially, we can't afford to play around. If Obama is elected, we are in a huge heap of doo doo!

Performance is the key word.
October 8, 2008 - 00:01 ET by mattmPerformance is the key word.
McCain proved Presidential by the Audience
October 8, 2008 - 00:22 ET by Lame CherryI wonder what mentality thought the debate was boring, except the wide spectrum of pro wrestling or those who are Al Franken debaters.
In actually taking in the entire debate, the audience immediately set up and came to attention the first moment John McCain addressed it. Their body language said he was their leader.
McCain accomplished exactly what needed to be done in showing the people who were watching in the Clinton voting camp (yes children who think the world rotates in your living room, there is strategy in all of these debates speaking to a specific group which is the Reagan Democrat and Clinton Democrats).
McCain reached them on every key issue. They understand the vocabulary he was specifically using. Obama could not get off his high pitche AND which marks lack of thought process.
The audience slumped whenever Obama addressed it.
For the literal reasons John McCain received an A for this debate in outing Barack Obama. Apparently numbers of people even on Newsbusters do not listen to what was being stated. It is a bad thing when Barack Obama states he is going to criminalize parents for being stupid and it is a bad thing when he states he is going to draft every child in America into the peace corp or the military.
America for those who do not know is a place where people came to work when they chose, be fools, dolts, lazy bums when they choose and not rounded up like Maoist mules hooked up to what the government decides is behavior for you.
People here too often did not get the point as Obama can fine parents for being idiots, then he can fine parents on Newsbusters for exposing them to ideas not mandated by Obama.
Making health care a right means that YOU have to pay for it to your last indebted cent for someone getting a penis graft or Biden more botox.
Apparently the Newsbusters staff is going to have to explain these things on here while they are busting stories as there just does not seem to be enough thought pointing out that dictators even elected are bad.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh
I agree with Lame...
October 8, 2008 - 04:42 ET by BadassBuckeyeMcCain addressed the issues. I am not a McCain fan because he is to liberal. But in the debate last night..he hit it out of the park. I know because I live with liberal...my wife(those of you who post here and have seen mine..know the extent). She came forward for the first time last night and said she would vote for McCain if it wasn't for Palin. Palin is to Conservative for my wife...she said she would vote for a McCain/Lieberman ticket in a second....I cringe at that thougth. But the point being is McCain spoke to a target audience. He answered the awfully biased Lib questions, and he got his points across. All well thought out and put together.
He did attack Barry O. He did it the right way. He used examples, voting records, and other things that can be proven. I do agree thought that he should of piled on the Fannie and Freddie thing a little thicker.
I thought it was an average debate until the end.....
When Obama whet on his two minute incoherent rambling of thoughts(it was towards the very end) he somehow tried to tie iran to the finanicial crises to education and somehow wondered back into the middle east again...but not on Iran. This rambling showed that he is rattled..it showed that he knows people are going to see through his crap. Barrack changed his own policies twice with in ten minutes of one another last night(ok, maybe not change his policies but said two completely different things).

October 8, 2008 - 07:57 ET by lotrI agree too -- McCain simply kicks butt on the foreign policy, pro-military issues. He also has an energy plan that can actually work (nuclear energy is the only near and long term solution -- Obama wants to continue puttering around with windmills and solar panels, which in the end won't get the job done of powering entire cities, including the massive power load caused by A/C in places like Las Vegas and Miami). Unfortunately, he needed an A. I thought his performance on the economy fell short, and I actually agreed with Obama about "he's proposed a lot of spending, but hasn't told us where the money is going to come from," particularly as it applies to the "buying bad mortgages" crap. Houses ought to be long-term investments, plain and simple; the housing market needs to undergo continued correction. It's not a seller's market right now -- it can't always be a seller's market. Both candidates flopped when it came to providing concrete solutions to our primary budget deficit problem: The ever increasing mandatory (entitlement) spending, which right now accounts for about half of all tax revenue, and will only continue to grow as the population continues to age. Incidentally though, McCain did have a social policy that may help with that (and he should advertise it as such): Increased tax incentives to couples with multiple children.

Correct
October 8, 2008 - 11:58 ET by JasonPI agree that this debate was absolutely riveting. I did not get all of the answers I wanted from McCain, but we're not electing a king. We are a representative republic, and we have other means of checking policies we disagree with the president on. McCain, as president, would have a hard time with some of his more moderate proposals, as I have confidence in the conservatives in the Congress.
By contrast, the answers in this debate by Obama illustrate the danger his presidency proposes. Lame Cherry is correct, and I commend him for his brief and articulate analysis of this debate. Obama stated he would propose national conscription in the military and peace/americorps. He confirmed he would fine american families that did not insure their children. He could not articulate the fact that the US and its allies stopped the Jewish Holocost in WW2, perhaps b/c he is upset that we did this. His foreign policy proposals are grave, not only for the US and our Allies, but for the world at large.
To fellow conservatives on this site, I implore you to download this transcript and shout from the mountaintops to your friends/family and others during political discussion the things that Obama is proposing. He will support, and work toward an extremist islamic regime in Pakistan, which he stated last night. He will sit down with Iran, North Korea without preconditions, willingly giving them propoganda platforms to attack the US with. He did not understand what McCain was saying in regard to the Ukraine. He understands that McCain knows what to do on the world stage, when he does not and says this time and again in these debates. He will raise taxes on SMALL businesses. Continues to repeat that 90% of americans will not see tax increases when this is a LIE b/c 90% of Americans don't pay taxes.
I propose we keep our disagreements with McCain in house until after the election as we can effectively correct him in other ways. Our focus, as conservatives, should be to demonstrate how Obama is completely wrong on every policy he proposes. We can't have 4 years of Obama, and this is more important right now than expressing disdain for McCain.
Since I gave Obama an F...
October 8, 2008 - 01:25 ET by jawebster1I decided to give McCain a C. My friends, McCain did as well as could be expected. For someone who objects to big government spending, I am curious where this "Nationalizing" of home mortgages came from. Warren Buffet for Treasury Secretary? What about Mitt Romney? Jim Webster
Gentleman's D
October 8, 2008 - 04:41 ET by FranksamI gave Mc a D, though he didn't earn it. We are now faced with the reality that it will get worse before it gets better. Barack will despoil the office and two years from now the morons in the mushy middle will swing right. Let's hope the damage done by Democrats can be undone at that time.
How the hell did John McCain manage to usurp conservative principles anyway? BTW, I have voted for the Libertarian candidate ever since Ford pardoned Tricky Dick. We need real change. These guys represent another Coke vs Pepsi choice, and we need the 'uncola'.
I would not vote
October 8, 2008 - 08:38 ET by MazziI would not vote Libertarian this year. Unless you want to let Marxist at the very top of our political ladder. The media has proven that the Universities have done their jobs in the Alinsky scheme, and if we get Obama, it's all over.
Instead, please vote McCain - believe me I understand your feelings - but we can't afford to lose a single vote.
As soon as the election is over, start a Libertarian revolution - I'll help you, even. But for right now, it's not so much about voting on ideals, as it is saving our children's futures.

October 8, 2008 - 08:49 ET by Mazziwell.. it was the liberals who started the ideas about sliding grades and such, so that stupid children didn't have to "feel bad". The liberals who have allowed our schools to slip from institutions of learning, to indoctrination centers.
I would have to say, using the liberal grade scale, McCain got an A (we don't want him to feel bad, do we?) In an old fashioned school, he probably got a C.
Obama also got a C in the old style, but - technically, using a different liberal mentality, shouldn't it be an F? After all, if you have more than the next guy, you have to hand some over, right? We all have to be equal, just to be "fair" - even if equality means that we ALL have NOTHING.
So, McCain A - Obama F
but I voted McCain C, Obama C
(By the way, did anyone notice the other liberal tenet that I used so skillfully in this post? Applying two completely different standards to the same situation, to create the results I desire? I may make a good "comrade", if Obama takes over.)

October 8, 2008 - 08:57 ET by MazziOh maaaaan!
I just realized - I can't be a good comrade! In order to really have done this right, I should have given Obama the A (because his people were repressed by slavery 150 years ago - or? Wait - his dad was from Africa, not the US. No worry, he's black, so he gets the cred!), and McCain the F (because he's a white dude - they automatically lose points, just for existing).
Happily, I am trainable - I should be able to get the message if necessary, before January.
(Someone remind me to pick up a bunch of shotgun shells. please?)
Only a "C"??
October 8, 2008 - 13:55 ET by northoneMy friends, this was a bit of snooze-fest. My friends, why couldn't McCain have gotten a bit fired up? You see, my friends, he missed several opportunities to hit Obama where it hurts. But, my friends, this is what you get when you want to run an "honorable" campaign. Don't be negative. Don't cause a controversy. Just steady as she goes. However, my friends, this is how elections are lost. When you don't give your friends a reason to vote for you, why would they bother? My friends, I'm not even sure after watching last night's debate how badly McCain actually wants to win. The one consolation we can take after Obama moves into the White House in January is that John McCain has lots of friends. SARAH IN 2012!!!!

October 8, 2008 - 17:35 ET by Conservative VoiceAll I can say is maybe the Palin effect will cause a flip in Congress, but truthfully after last nights debate McCain showed once again he is no conservative, and in fact would taint Palin's image. Second look at Bob Barr.
Hi Cv... I posted
October 8, 2008 - 17:57 ET by bigtimerHi Cv...
I posted somewhere, maybe about two weeks ago or less, before they took Sarah off the campaign trail, that we really may have had a chance to flip congress or at least get very close...you could feel it...
The feeling is gone...just gone, I wished there wasn't one more debate to go...I dread it.
