I have been dreading this debate....because Tom Brokaw is a HUGE McCain fan...as was obvious at the RNC Convention....It is supposed to be a Town Hall Style, with Questions from the audience...( we will see WHAT kind of Planted Questions are there...)
After watching Bush "speak" this afternoon and answer questions...I know we need So Much Change...and REAL Questions answered...No More Scripted Contrived Events...But Tom has made it clear as moderator he won't do any Followup Questions. But if you want to come by and join in tonight...please do...make yourself at home...curse, throw things at the TV...and root for Obama..
So will McCoot lose his temper ? Will he lie ? will he say things that are imflammatory ? Will he defend his Pitbull ? Will he dodge Questions about his VP choice and the judgement that went into that decision ? Will he dodge questions about the Economy ? Will he defend his Campaign Suspension and his Bailout Meddling ?Will he look at Obama this time ? Will his head explode ?
David Corn wrote a great piece about McCain and will the Debate show he has lost his Soul... It is the Question....

He suggested we write and call the Secret Service , I agree that WHAT we have heard on Countdown and Rachel's Show...
and the MSM has barely noticed or covereed...sadly...and THIS IS DANGEROUS...in Dark Times....NOT SAFE....here is more about Palin feeding the HateMongering Mob Mentality it certainly sounds like she has been to some Klan Rallies ?

Let's hope the format is not a disaster.
Still Obama is better at thinking on his feet.
McCain will be trying to find a sound bite talking point & come off sounding bad.
He better not do the winking thing Palin did.
You can't just parrot the "I'm a maverick" phrase, while the economy implodes.

McCain has not taken Questions from reporters or audience in monthes- even here in Ohio he says he has "Town Halls" that is a lie- they are scripted, invite only events- and people are not allowed to ask questions....
( he used to do planted questions, but that stopped...
I think the idea of people asking him questions that he can not control might be a problem...NOW...we all know that he might have the questions planted by tom for him- that would be very convenient...
I still think he has been showing erratic temper on the road these past few weeks...and inability to think on his feet....so it could show alot about his temperment and functional communication skills....
I called the Secret Service today to complain about John McKeatings and Sarah Palinsaurus's attempt to incite there supporters to assassinate Senator Obama as demonstrated yesterday in Clearwater, Florida where one of her supporters yelled out "Kill him" when she brought up William Ayers and Senator Obama's ties to a Terrorist.
At the same time at McKeatings rally when he said to the supporters Who is Obama someone yelled "Terrorist".
I had to leave a voice message since the agent on call was not in the office {or so I assume}, and wanted to know what they were doing to tone down the rhetoric and hate speech that the McKeating campaign was using.
I also said that I was very much concerned about Senator Obama's safety and that they were pushing their supporters to assassinate a Presidential Candidate.
I also said that if that happens there could end up being blood spilled on American Streets because the American People would hold McKeating, Palinsaurus, The Campaign members and the RNC and their talking head TV pundits.
In fact the operator said that when I stated that there would be blood on American Streets she said I was making a threat. I told her no I was not, however I believed that there very well could be as its been all over the web for a year about anything happening to Senator Obama.
I also left in my message my name and phone number, but as yet heard back on my call. I ask as well if the person who yelled "Kill Him" was detained and questioned about the remark and what they were going to do to rein in this type of hate mongering.
Right now the only way McKeating can win is if something were to happen to Senator Obama and they are pushing the envelope to make that happen.
I believe that if this does happen there will be nowhere on this Earth that they will be able to hide and they will be looking over there shoulder for the rest of their sorry lives as the American People will hold them responsible and seek their own justice.
Anyway I just wanted to say that if you are as concerned about this new tactic as I am then you need to call the Secret Service and complain about it.
Maybe if enough people complain they will go after McKeating and Palinsaurus and put a stop to this incitement to assassinate a Presidential Candidate.
Take care all and ...
God Bless you enigma for all you do for Freedom and Our Constition and Country.
Opps...
Misspelled Constitution. Me bad...
God Bless.
thanks Anon for your concerns...I think many americans are concerned and disgusted and the polls are showing it...I am sure the SS has added agents thanks to Palin and McCoot amped up their hatemongering...
good to see you...thank you for being out there...
Ahh the "town hall meeting" is a one way infomercial ~ figures.
yeah...I don't like it...Chris Matthews has been sitting here all afternoon rooting for a fight.....
I can only hope that he continues to look as testy and cranky as he has on some occasions in the past. Unfortunately, in these days of lowered expectations anything short of a total meltdown will allow him to claim that he was victorious.
JM::
yeah pretty bad when the LOW Expectations bar is in a ditch 6 feet under...
I think McCoot has been showing us that he can explode and be more than erratic....so I have some hope...
( unless he is overly medicated...I think chances are good...we will see the real McCoot)
I'm fucking FLOORED that no real attention is bein paid at Palin's calling Obama a terrorist and basically trying to incite people into killing him. WHAT THE HELL!! Can you imagine if this happened to her or McInsane?
Oh I'm SO goddamn pissed off. Oh and I'll be live blogging with you. It's more productive than throwing things. I assume you have your mylanta shooters ready?
Mylanta Shooters....Lemon Creme Chilled...on ice...
shit the hell that has gone on this year...
I posted the SS addresses...holy crap....
good to see ya...
Thanks, I'm already annoyed. A "Town Hall" is NOT a debate. And Brokaw is going to be really infuriating, I'm sure of it, that biased creep.
Ugh. I'm so damn keyed up angsty!
The only thing that will make me happy is Obama doing better than expected, maybe getting tough, and/or McInsane going off his nut, which I think I'd enjoy even more.
Ah! Won the coin toss!
:)
Howdy! Is it me or did neither of them answer Alan's question?
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE??
KEEP TAXES LOW??
(yeah so like Bill Maher said the price of everything else will just skyrocket instead - there's NO WAY around taxes).
Oh no he's acting like he cares about retirees?
McInsane is lying. I know 'cause lips are moving.
ooh, grumpy old man--get off my lawn!
McInsane pointed at Obama when he said "cronyism". What a sneaky sleazebag.
THey *sorta* answered it.
DAMMIT!! OBama needs to QUIT saying "McCain is right" - did he learn nothing from the last debate? That really bugs me.
You're wrong young man, it's rescue! Not a bail out!
Obama needs to say "McAin agrees with me on..." not John is right... gawd.
I don't know if I can stand 1.5 hours of McInsane lying.
Did he just call that guy dumb?
HOly fuck McInsane is blaming it on Obama.
Is he fucking kidding?
Kellybell I missed that, damn.
Alan is 80 years old--his American Dream happened in 1958.
How many times is McInsane going to lie about buying up folks' homes for them? This is the rat who voted to make sure people could not declare bankruptcy. LIAR!
HELLO:::
I started a NEW thread up above..sorry folks...so sorry...come up to the top...
d'oh!
20th century/21st century. He likes that. I'm down with the middle class-but what dems don't get is most people think of themselves one station above where they really are. So all this middle class talk kinda goes over their heads.
wow...kelly- you are right..I never thought that...wow....but I know that McInsane NEVER says Middle class...never...really strange...
Actually while he didn't say "middle class" he did say mid-income. So I mean we could give him a pass on that one. What we can't give him a pass on is this continuous blatant disrespect towards Obama's intelligence and just Obama in general. He constantly says "..he doesn't understand" and even referred to Senator Obama as "that one". Whatever he meant by that, to me it showed a lack of respect for his opponent and I'm sure a lot of people will see it that way as well.
D:::
you are so right..it is all about respect...and it was lacking...and I think most people saw it...like last time with the lack of eye contact....Obama is a good man, and very intelligent and good senator...he deserves better...
Oh welll....we will keep fighting on..and see where we are a month from now...and hope and pray that MOST people saw how Predidential Obama was....
