What was the best line from the Belmont Presidential Debate?

tired of one sided media

I"m tired of the one sided media always saying that Bush is to blame,McCain is not doing good,and Palin doesn"t have experience.What has Obama really done that is so great.He has missed alot of votes in the Senate,and he has not solved any major crisis overseas.So how is he better?The democrats have held control of the House and Senate for 2yrs.I have not seen anything from them except the blame game,and complaining.They have not done anything to really help the Country.They did manage to cut some of the funding for our Military though,thanks for that.All us military wives needed to trim back on spending.Like for food,gas,rent.Obamaa's race has nothing to do with my distrust of him,but,his beleifs and ideas for this country does.And as for Palin,so she doesn't have all the experience that McCain has.She is very intelligent,and can learn the same as Obama can.But,she is running for V.P.not Prez.So who has more time to learn?And I like the fact she's not been arond all the boys yet.And i want to know what they are gonna do about the boy who broke into her e-mail.If that was one of us regular people we would be undre the jail by now.The only reason he's not is because his daddy is politician.And some of the attacks on her,if they were like that to Obama it would be called racist,so why isn't these attacks being called sexist by women.They really are uncalled for.Look what happened when the men started attacking Hilary,women on both sides said it was in very bad taste.So,because Palin is a republican that makes it ok?I don't think so.I think that the Wash.beurocrats are truly scared of smart and out-spoken Women!


Interesting comparison!

I'm glad to see some rational posts here and they are mainly from guests that are pro Obama. Thank goodness that it looks as though Obama will win this election or the alternative is too awful to contemplate. Have you McCain supporters actually listened to Palin and have you ever heard anything worthy of being called constructive answers or comments from her?
The choice of Palin as the V.P. who clearly may potentially need to actually act as president at some time speaks volumes about his decision making!
This country needs a fresh start after the biggest disaster of a president in this country's history and that means vote for Obama!


Sad and distasteful

Here's what I find truly astonishing about some "Americans" these days. Look through these posts. Look to see how many references there are to Obama=Hitler. More than one. Listen to what people are yelling in anger at McCain rallies about Obama. The hatred..and based on what exactly?

Obama is a Christian family man who is a United States Senator. He has put his country first.

How many of you out there have "different" sounding names? "Bubba" is actually an odd name in other parts of this great country of ours. Sad but true.

Think before you blurt.


It's so sad

I am sad to see all these people blindly following the Republican party without thinking about America. Without thinking about Americans. Without thinking about their future. And not thinking about their children's future.

It's sad to see that these people will be casting a vote based upon propaganda and talking points and what others tell them to think without doing their own research without asking questions without remembering history or even yesterday.

It's sad to see so many smart people rely on a single source for their information.

I am glad to see that some apparently do change their channel from Fox News to WDEF - then probably turn it back when Zack's finished explaining himself.

Good luck to all you McCain/Palin supporters.


Time for a change

With a V.P. candidate that doesn't even remember what she has read and McCain lurching from one thing to the next, with comments from attendees at his meetings shouting abuse that is so outrageous and untrue that it is beyond belief. We should all be ashamed at such behavior. Let us hope that we get Obama and Michelle in the White House so that we can be proud in the knowledge that we at last have a president that is articulate and highly intelligent. Wow, what a change that would be!


Articulate does not equal great leader

Why do people think being articulate equals a great president? Have you have ever heard any of Hitler's speeches? He spewed garbage but he did it with great eloquence; does that mean that he was a great leader? How about Castro, as a young man rising to power in Cuba he gave great speeches & his mantra, change? That's the scariest part of this whole election to me; people cannot tell you what positive changes Obama’s made in his short political career but they can all say that he's well dressed & well versed. If that's what we use to gage our next leaders merit then may God help us all!!


Why do people think being

Why do people think being articulate equals a great president? The answer is easy. Air heads and stupid and uneducated people cannot express themselves. See how stupid George W. Bush was? And he couldn't put a sentence together. Why am I having to expain this to you? What is the problem? But you voted for Bush under those very circumstances and have not yet learned better?

If it looks stupid, and talks stupid, it must be stupid.

With Palin it was someone stumbling to remember her memorized lines that McCain gave her to recite.

With McCain it is his constant lies, just like Bush, and his support of idiocy (Bush). Even his choice of unknown Palin just to get the feminist vote was thoroughly stupid. Many better choices around him, just waiting to be asked. What is so hard to understand?

Obama is very articulate and very intelligent- a very great contrast to what the Republican party has had to offer. Bush and McCain have ruined this country in the last 8 years. Ruined it financially, and in every way. The ruin has broken records. Finally the stupidest President of all time! We need some intelligence in the White House for a change.

Castro is a silly parallel. You are using Castro to demonize a person who is nothing like him, just to escalate the negativity. Castro is not running for President here, and Obama is not trying to overthrow the country and make it communist. What is so hard to understand?


although articulate,

If you had done the research instead of believing the lies, you would see that Obama, though articulate, is no better suited to the position to which he strives. Do your homework, research his past, his affiliations, his record in senate, and his questionable citizenship, and you may come up with a different perspective. Neither candidate is worthy of even living in this once great land, let alone running it. I would encourage all Americans to write in someone else, like, maybe cong. Ron Paul?


Not much choice this time

I don't really like either one. I try to vote for the person, not the party. But we should all really think hard this year. And decide which is the best of the two. Since I don't feel like either one will do much for us. But a few things about Obama scares me. He doesn't seem to think anything is wrong. I think marriage is between one man and one woman. I also think it is wrong, to take the life of an unborn helpless child. Those two things are helping me make up my mind on who I will vote for. It will be McCain. Because of how he thinks like I do, on those two things. I do pray each day. That no matter who I vote for. That the right man will get it. A man who will do what is right and who would pray and seek Gods will in what he does for the USA. We all need to do that. Everyone needs to vote even if you don't like the two. Pray and then cast your vote for the one you like the most of the two. Its your right. So get out and Vote for one . But Think hard and alot about who you should vote for. Vote for the man, not the party. We all should pray for the USA also.


Time for a change!

How could anyone even consider voting for another four years of these people? A totally unqualified V.P. who spouts complete garbage about Obama in the hope that uneducated people pick up on it. It will be a very pleasant change to have educated people in the White House for a change.
To listen to these people being insulting to Obama at McCain meetings is disgusting and friends from outside the US can hardly believe what they are hearing.


Noboma

Noboma '08. Obama is so liberal that he makes Ted Kennedy look like a right winger. God help us all if Obama wins but if any of you think that either Obama or McCain is the answer, prepare for disappointment.


God help YOU no matter who

God help YOU no matter who wins !


Interesting!

Very interesting and a sure sign of panic that the McCain campaign now has to resort to inuendoes and outright lies about Obama rather than deal with the real problems out there!


no lies just fact Barack

no lies just fact Barack Hussien Obama less than 10 years from 9/11 and this is what you want.need your head checked vote mccain


lies ???

Lies ??? Start researching Barak Obama objectively and see what you come up with.


Objectively??? Apparently

Objectively??? Apparently you haven't researched your own candidate.


o.k.

let's start with the issue of his citizenship, shall we?, then we can move to a study of the things he says as opposed to his voting record while in senate. Then if you still have the stomach for it, we can move on to his affiliations with several, shall we say, seedy characters, or how about the fact that a very large portion of his funding comes from known purveyors of terrorism. Yes, by all means, let's do a lot of further research on this fellow who seems to think that he is fit to lead the free world.


okay o.k.

Thank you. You obviously researched John McCain and came up with all these unanswered questions. There are many more, but you hit on the hot ones.

Now you see why Obama is a better choice for America !
Why it's time for change.


I was referring to Obama!

Although McCain is no better.


amen

amen


Disgusted

I am totally disgusted at the antics of those shouting insults about Obama at the McCane rally's. It shows what unbelievable ignorance is out there!


I would but I won't

The debate was rigged. I was very dissappointed that both sides had to have dozens of pages of rules, to tell me what their points and plans are.

I would vote for Obama but I have a few hesitations.

Pelosi, Reid, Dodd and the other Democrats in control of the house and senate.

A couple year ago I gave them a chance to lower gas, along with Ford v. Corker, yet what have they done? Not much. The low gas prices the promised, other reforms, not seen.

Next I can't get Mr Obama's words out of my mind when I heard him tell the folks in Illinois that he was running for Senator and not to be President, yet he almost immediately began running for President.

A couple years ago I like McCain because he would cross party lines. I am turned off at him.

I probably will just stay home and watch the next 4 years.

Ps. Thank God the Dow Jones is correcting itself. For too long it has been over inflated. And too all you people who lived off home equity loans and credit cards, lines of credit, Adjustable rate loans, the YOU ARE THE PROBLEM and cause of this Ecomony crash. Not the rebublicans or democrats, President or Speaker Pelosi or Dodd, you are with you lack of self control and take take take without caring what the morrow might bring.

And I will end up voting, regardless of the plum of piff I spat out on here, because it is my requirement as an American.


Words of the uninformed: "A

Words of the uninformed: "A couple year ago I gave them a chance to lower gas, along with Ford v. Corker, yet what have they done? Not much. The low gas prices the promised, other reforms, not seen."

I am quoting you. Did you not know that immediately before the Democrats became the majority, that the Republicans voted that no bill can pass without a 60% vote? The Democrats did not have 50% of the seats. It was rigged for failure by the Republicans on purpose to make the Democrats look bad. And you seem to have fallen for the trap, by being uninformed. Uninformed by choice.

Also stupid spiteful Bush has vetoed everything that the Democrats sent him unless they sent him things that agreed with him.

To judge the Democrats by the past 2 years while their hands were tied behind their backs is ignorance. I just hope other ignorant people aren't listening to uninformed lies, but they are.

If a man wants to change his mind about running for President, it is not OK? What is bad about that? I am glad Obama changed his mind. He is the only good person in the bunch of hissing snakes.

The Republicans are still in control in the government right now, and are to blame for eveything.

Racism and lies are the Republicans' tools right now! Most people so violently against Obama are racist. I want to see you all sizzle when he is elected!!!!!!!!!! Liberal is not bad. The shape the nation is in now at the hands of the Republicans is absolutely wicked.


I haven't seen the democrats

I haven't seen the democrats TRY to do anything in the past two years but complain about what the republicans didn't do. Obama promises no tax hikes for the middle class and in the nmext breath says he will repeal the Bush tax cuts. Hmmm That means no 1000 dollar child tax credit. I don't know about you, but my taxes are sure going up $1000 under that plan.


PSing your PS - You

PSing your PS -
You obviously don't believe in America or good old American enterprise or ingenuity, otherwise you would have invested in America.

What if your boss comes up to you and says your salary has been cut by 30%. Would you "thank god" because you were making too much money anyway?

Yeah, stay home and watch. You deserve what you get.


But we we're told to SPEND

But we we're told to SPEND SPEND SPEND! It good for the economy you know.


on second thought

I bet you wish you hadn't spent that rebate check on that new UT VOLS cooler/stadium-seat combo.


I only wish that all of you

I only wish that all of you who vote for McCain/Palin were the ONLY ones who will have to suffer though what 4 more years like the past 8 ones.


SUFFER YOU SAY

Thats right we have suffered for 8 long years.But the worst suffering true Americans had is when Bush and OSAMA teamed up on us on 9-11.We all suffered that day we lost true AMERICANS.While Bush and his partners in crime sat back and laughed and made money.So who in the HELL wants 4 more years of a terrist in office.Vote for obama and that is what you got.Him and his family has all kinds of ties with terrist groups.Hell he want even step a foot inside a SOUTHERN state.Hell black people are the south.So suffer you say yes we all will if obama gets office.You will see more and more of AMERICA die off.Please watch out for your neighbors.If he gets office all we got is each other as true AMERICANS

you just don`t get it

you just don`t get it


YOU DON'T KNOW SUFFERING!

You don't know suffering until Big "O" takes over. The Germans thought that Big "H" would make things rosey, that's why they didn't make the proper reservations for the gas chambers.


HUYA

You need serious help.
and an education with an emphasis on history


Standards!

Well, I guess it shows how low your expectations are if you think Bush has been anything but a disaster. Now what are his ratings?....24% hmmm, me thinks that says something!


Four more years of disaster!

Give me strength, the thought of McCaine and Palin is the most depressing of possibilities. The mess that this country is in was a result of false prosperity caused by greed and total incompetence on the parts of the financial industry AND the totally incompetent Bush administration!
This country needs a change and some sophistication and educated people in the White House and that means Obama and Michelle!


Look at the facts

You had better look at the facts. The Bush administration did not force these financial institutions to make loans to risky people. And may I add that we have had a majority of dems in the congress for several years now. So stop blaming the republicans, who really haven't been in control.


No, You had better look at

No, You had better look at the facts. The fact is that the Republican government could have regulated the stupid greedy mortgage business, and did nothing. The Republican policy is hands off when it comes to business.

We are headed to a bad recession, or already in one- or worse a depression. I borrowed no money, but now I suffer because of it. It took a Democrat- Roosevelt to get us out of the depression of the 1930s. Why did it work? Because the government has to step in and regulate things when it gets out of control.

And I remember stupid Bush saying, "If I had a magic wand..." Bush could have a magic wand, but in the usual Republican way, he did nothing.


ever wonder why they did nothing?

Just take a look at who it is that is paving their yellow brick road with gold. The fed is a very large part of this conspiracy, as is the world bank, and where do you think most of their "contributions" come from? Could it be that they are owned by the very banking institutions that they protect?


Im tired of everything being

Im tired of everything being blamed on the bush admin. He brought it up to congress in 2002, since then it was brought up that the housing market was in trouble 3 other times. Each time the democrats voted it down. Democrats have control of congress and look where it has gotten us. Broke!!!! Yes he (obama) is educated by the best terriost in America. You need to leave america, like the rest of obama and his camp. It would be a better place.


things that make you say "hmmmmmm"

Newsmax reported last week that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has collected "the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002."

Federal Election Commission data show that some $222 million of the cash Obama has collected came in the form of contributions of $200 or less, with the Democratic nominee's campaign identifying the donors of less than $40 million of that sum.

Campaigns may accept donations of less than $200 without providing the donors' names and addresses in campaign finance reports, but Sen. John McCain's camp has made its full donor database available on the Internet. Independent campaign finance watchdog organizations have asked the Obama campaign to list all its donors, as well, but it's refused. What is Obama hiding?

The Republican National Committee is making the most of this disclosure gap, filing a complaint with the FEC, demanding that it investigate the sources of Obama's thousands of unknown donors and look into possible illegal foreign donations.

Major media have jumped on the story, with Newsweek noting that FEC auditors ordered Obama's campaign to return large amounts from sources with fake names. One phony was "Good Will," who listed "Loving" as his employer and "You" as his job. The address given was found to be that of the Austin-based nonprofit Goodwill Industries, which informed the Obama campaign last month that its name was apparently being used fraudulently.

Another made-up name: "Doodad Pro." His listed address is a Nunda, N.Y., liquor store next to the now-closed Doodad Boutique.

More disturbing was $33,000 paid for Obama campaign T-shirts by two Palestinian brothers from Gaza who listed "Ga." as their address, which the campaign took to be the state of Georgia. The purchase is considered a campaign donation.

This week, CBS News discovered two Obama contributors who gave $7,722 using fake identities, "Dahsudhu Hdusahfd of Df, Hawaii," employed by "CZXVC/ZXVZXV" and "Uadhshgu Hduadh of Dhff, Fla.," who works for "DASADA/SAFASE."

The Newsmax report noted a separate FEC database of more than 11,500 overseas contributions to Obama totaling $33.8 million, with more than 520 listing their locations as "IR," a possible abbreviation for Iran. (The Associated Press noted that "In FEC reports, the designation 'IR' typically stands for 'information requested' because the donor did not supply it.")

Sixty-three listings had "UK" as the donor's location. Other locales apparently providing money for Obama included Abu Dhabi, Addis Ababa, Beijing and Fallujah, as well as France and Italy.

Obama's Web site formerly let donors choose from among every United Nations member when listing their residence. By contrast, the presidential campaign of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton actually required U.S. citizens residing abroad to fax a copy of their passport before accepting their donations. Federal law prohibits the acceptance of campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

In the summer, the head of Nigeria's stock market held a series of fundraisers believed to have collected $900,000 — ostensibly to pay for some Nigerians' attendance at the Democratic convention in Denver. A Nigerian government commission is now investigating.

Do the "Doodads," "Good Wills," "Dahsudhu Hdusahfds" and Nigerian money men form only the tip of the iceberg? The hundreds of millions this supposed "man of the people" has raised is an astonishing sum, with a large percentage coming from unknown sources.

Obama might say he doesn't know who any of these people are, so it is absurd to suggest he would be a president in the pocket of anti-American foreigners he doesn't know.

But they know him. Many foreign powers would give a fortune to install a far-left president who wants to reduce American economic and military power. All signs point to Obama being exactly that.


HMMMM!!! YOU R RIGHT

O BUM U money comes from terrist and true AMERICAN haters.He is showing no proof of nothing he is asked for.Why cant the election and america be ran like it was a hundred yearsago.If you were not american you cold not run 4 prez.Heis not an AMERICAN his homeland live in camps.We dont live in camps in AMERICAN.Well we will if he gets into office.His family camp in kenya will have your house and mine.A so called man running for American prez.But takes a American logo off of the american plane he is flying around in.And puts on a stupid kenya flag.What the hell is that.Truly UNAMERICAN!!!!!!!! If he is elected we as americans are gone.He will have our daughters breast feeding baby pigs for his camp like they do now.But they want have to anymore.Our goverment does not care were the money comes from.They are just like him A LOW DOWN AMERICAN HATING TERRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREW OBAMA AND HIS KENYA CAMP .THE UN AMERICAN NEEDS TO GO BACK HOME.HIS COUSIN IS GETTING LONELY AT NIGHT.They keep it all in the family.Just like there terrist money!!!


AT LAST

WELL AT LAST SOMEONE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS AND I SAY THIS BECAUSE I GET SICK AND ANGRY WHEN I HEAR OBAMA'S VOICE OR SEE HIS LIPPS MOVE,,,,,


McCain not ready to lead

McCain couldn't find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. That's why he has to resort to insulting his opponent instead of discussing the issues. He's corrupt, ignorant, and not ready for a job hauling garbage, much less the Oval Office. And that goes quadrillion times more for his running mate.


CALM DOWN SWEETIE

Posting your tirade one time is enough to show a lack of mental capabilities. Oh well, what else can be expected from someone under the trance of Big "O". Posting the same thing THREE TIMES is even below an Obamite.

Obama's Lime Jello

Lime green jello is perfect for Obama. He's green as grass, NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE!

The Big "O" is exactly that

The Big "O" is exactly that 0. He has 0 experience, 0 character, and 0 class. He does have a silver tongue, but spout out nothing but hot air. He reminds me of another silver tougued "savior" who took Germany by storm right after WWI. I can only that Americans won't be so blind as the Germans were.


Are you saying that Little

Are you saying that Little "M" has experience ?
Look at how he's run his campaign so far.
Look at who he chose as a running mate.
Truly look at his voting record.

Are you saying that Little "M" has character ?
Look at who avoids the issues and instead attacks his opponent.
Look at who is inciting hatred as his rallys.
Look at how he lies to Americans.

Are you saying that Little "M" has class ?
Cheating on your wife and dumping her because she was disfigured in an accident ? classy.
"kick his you-know-what"? classy.
Marrying money does NOT make you classy.

And as for YOUR character?
stealing a Hitler reference from a previous post just goes to show how little you think for yourself.

Good luck to you "guest".
