So how are you getting CSPAN?

By: vjp

Nope, I don’t have cable.

Guess you rich liberals have cable.

OK, Mark, you found one.

Watching the spin doctors on CSPAN. Both campaign managers think their candidate won. No surprise there.

McSame tries to distance himself from the disaster that Republicans and Bush have wrought … “American blood and Treasure” I’d say have been costly to every American over the last 8 years

—- McSame makes it personal in the final mins. ??? — Reform, prosperity and peace … slogan
(this from a guy who picked a VP candidate like Palin???) …

Ideals and Values … Obama brings a broader strategic vision

I think the debate was pretty much what I expected. Nothing earth-shattering.

It was screwed up long before Bush/McCain. If we were not spending so much on unconstitutional things, we might be able to afford those things we’re supposed to be doing.

Took 90 minutes to invoke the POW thing. Wonder if someone told him not to say anything about it.

By: MB

POW POW POW.

By: Mark Brooks

Mark Brooks — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:36:20 +0000

You are acknowledging that Bush/McCain totally screwed up the veteran’s care?

By: MB

MB — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:35:36 +0000

And by “take care of them”, I mean send them off to die because I’m not man enough to admit mistakes or think things through.

Now we get to the crux of McCain’s argument: “I honestly don’t believe Sen. Obama has the experience and the judgment.”

By: Mark Brooks

Mark Brooks — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:34:44 +0000

There is something inherent about when he says that, Vivian. I mentioned above.

Wow, he just did it again. We should count up how many times.

By: MB

MB — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:34:42 +0000

Do you think McCain’s guys get a bonus cash payment from Georgia for this?

By: Anon E. Mouse

Anon E. Mouse — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:34:16 +0000

He’s talking about how screwed up the Veteran’s health care is, but he wants ALL of us to be forced into such a system?

By: MB

MB — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:33:59 +0000

Sharper edges than expected, Vivian, no? Good.

By: Anon E. Mouse

It’s not the job of the federal government to buy people health care.

By: vjp

How many times has McCain said “Sen. Obama doesn’t understand”? Does a difference of opinion constitute lack of understanding?

By: Anon E. Mouse

Anon E. Mouse — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:31:46 +0000

We tried the “it must be proven before deployed” theory. Nothing ever got deployed. Now, we are deploying the systems we can, and we are improving them all the time.

We should spend more on nuclear proliferation?

Obama’s getting comfortable … taking charge while dealing with 2 Republicans

Can we secure the borders, Sen. McCain?

Q8: What is the likelihood of another 9/11-type attack on the US?

By: Mark Brooks

Mark Brooks — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:25:21 +0000

Maybe he saw something else in Putin’s eyes.

An acid flashback?

I see, and no one is calling Iran any names or threatening the livelihood of the people there. Riiiight.

Does he honestly think, after seeing the mess in Iraq, the Iranians are going to start waving their arms and say, “Oh us! oh us! Pick us to save! At whatever cost.”

Again, Obama is right. Ahmadinejad as a president has nowhere the power the President of the US or even the Prime Minister of a European country has–he is a mere figurehead (one who loves the sound of his voice a bit too much). The real power players in Iran are never ever mentioned by anyone, and I would bet the majority of politicians don’t even know those names.

(For what it’s worth, all those power players were educated in the best schools and colleges in our good ally Britain’s schools…)

KGB was disbanded in 1995 Maybe he saw something else in Putin's eyes.

Republicans don’t have party bosses, Mark.

Yes and no, Vivian. Yes, but many were re-hired into the Russian state police.

By: Mark Brooks

Basically, it was renamed, like so many other paint jobs.

The Kuril Islands are still in dispute, too.

Wasn’t the KGB disbanded?

By: Mark Brooks

Mark Brooks — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:21:16 +0000

McCain has now refuted the stated position of his boss, George W. Bush. Putin was a ‘great guy, looked in his eyes, into his soul’ and all that crap.

Is he lying now, or was he lying then?

By: virginiadem

Putin wears KGB contacts? Who knew? And how close do you have to be to see those tiny little letters, anyway?

By: Anon E. Mouse

Anon E. Mouse — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:19:21 +0000

One letter in each of Putin’s eyes?

By: Mark Brooks

Mark Brooks — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 02:19:17 +0000

Okay, I am getting more and more stunned.

Anybody else thought about the fact that Obama is basically a translator for McCain’s crazy notions and ideas for the future?

I hear, “blah blah my friends…”, and then I hear Obama talking in clear, understandable sentences. Educated. Curious. Wants to know. Genuinely responding.
