Debates of all ilk - Page 5

In case you wanted my opinion on this travesty of a Debate tonight.

BDBopper · 09-26-2008, 05:42 PM

I understand your points and they are valid...I'm just frustrated over all of this. Can you blame me?

That's all fine and dandy, BDBopper, but neither Obama or McCain sit on any board that's doing anything regarding the bailout package - McCain and all his "I'm a maverick" posturing doesn't do any consensus building either, and the process would be better served by the two of them NOT being around to muck things up.

Sorry, but that's an absurd opinion. These two senators taking a few hours on one day to engage in a debate is going to affect the outcome of whatever negotiations are going on by exactly zero. What do you think they'd be doing in Washington, spending 24 hours in a room talking to other senators. The vote hasn't even made it to the senate yet, it's Congress that's got the bulk of the work right now. And they aren't going to be in a bunker, detached from any involvement in what little they have to do with whatever's going on.

They're running for President. It's part of their job now to be in front of the camera campaigning for themselves. It's entirely possible to do both, and that's what they're going to do.

Is it me, or is McCain not really answering the questions?

That's where Palin learned it from.

Lies, Mr McCain. Lies, lies, lies.

Anybody else falling asleep? Dang I wish Huckabee was the nominee instead of McCain. At least he'd liven things up a bit. This is about as exciting as watching paint dry.
