my take on the debate
i would have to say that john mc cain won last night's debate by a slim margin because he under-
stands one of the principles of propoganda; repeat, repeat, repeat. in john's case it was surge, surge, surge, general patreious (sp), general pat., general pat. obama on the other hand would make a point and think that the audience got it the first time around so he wouldn't repeat it. he did repeat that by concentrating on iraq we have ignored the threat from a resurgent taliban in afghanstan. (the FACT that we never should have been in iraq in the first place was not hammered nearly strong enough by obama and thus let mc cain's talk about the surge go mainly unchallenged)
of course this was supposedly mc cain's strong suit, national security so he was expect to "win" but according to the polls (other than fox news and rush limbaugh's) show it was basically a toss up and some gave advantage to obama. i think the right thought obama would look weak and uninformed and that didn't happen and i think the left thought john mc cain would shoot himself in the foot and that didn't happen either.
both candidates took the side of georgia which i found very unsettling because georgia started that little scrimmage. i was much more upset with obama over this than mc cain because i expect johnny mc cain to twist facts since he does it all of the time.
HENRY KISSINGER DID INDEED SAY THAT HE WOULD TALK TO IRAN WITHOUT CONDITIONS. LOOK IT UP! I DO INDEED HOPE THAT OBAMA STARTS THE NEXT DEBATE WITH THIS SINCE JOHN MC CAIN IN HIS NEVERENDING BELIEF THAT HE, AND HE ALONE, IS PRIVY TO TRUTH. HE, MC CAIN, MADE A BIG ADO ABOUT THIS..SAYING THAT HE HAS KNOW KISSINGER FOR 35 YEARS BLAH BLAH BLAH LIE LIE LIE.
mc cain NEVER looked at obama during the entire debate. he NEVER gave obama any credit for any idea while obama, being a gentleman and someone who recognizes that someone else can make a valid point, did give credit to mc cain when due. this trait of mc cains (believing that only he is right on all things) is reministent of the mindset of gwb who discards any conflicting information because he KNOWS he is right. and look where that got us. only idiots believe they and they alone are right all of time; if they are your next door neighbor that trait is just tiresome, however when it is the president of the united states it is dangerous to all.
another lie that mc cain repeated over and over is how obama was going to raise taxes. which, technically is true since obama is going to repeal the bush tax breaks for the top 5% and cut taxes for the 95% but when mc cain says it he leaves that little detail out.
once again, if you want another administration that lies elect mc cain. if you want unending war, elect mc cain. if you want tax breaks for the rich but the shaft for the rest of us, elect mc cain. if you want less medical insurance for more money and then have to pay taxes on that, elect mc cain.
mc cain is, as daffy duck would say, despicable.
palin is a joke. watch the katy couric interview. it is laughable. (sickening an frightening if you take into account that she could be the president of the united states should the actuarial tables are correct on john mc cain)
oh, and by the way, mention to john mc cain that there is a middle class. he never mentioned it in the debate. he did, of course, mention he (and apparently he, alone) was a p.o.w. he did not mention that while a p.o.w. he read an anti american tirade written by his jailers.

You are the first person I've ever seen to say that their candidate lost, even by a small amount.
I think we saw from the recent debate that John McCain is clearly the candidate of choice in this coming presidential election. Obama came across as inexperienced and confused, whereas McCain was confident and to the point on all the issues.
I predict that we will begin to see McCain and Palin pulling ahead in all the polls. If Obama continues to falter in the debates, the election is all but decided. Excessive verbiage can only cover up one’s shallowness for so long.
Whenever I listen to Obama, I can’t help feeling that he’s got some secret agenda that he’s not telling us about. “Just trust in me, and I’ll bring about change.” That worries me. He certainly doesn’t like being pinned down on specific policies.
Instead, he comes across as a used-car salesman, full of political doubletalk. He is merely intent on making the sale, regardless of the quality of the product. Hopefully, the American public won’t be buying come November.
By the way, I’m sick of hearing about Sarah Palin’s lack of foreign policy experience. Governors in general rarely have any foreign policy experience, since they are running state governments and are typically not involved in foreign affairs. I ask you, can you think of a single state governor who can claim to have a lot of foreign policy experience? Besides, how much foreign policy experience does Obama have? At least McCain has a long history of helping to shape our foreign policy.
