10-7-08 Debate thread

If it was just that one thing I could probably ignore it but the list of sketchy things about this guy is way too long for me.

Yes, both candidates have missteps, but every time I hear it, the context is that it fundamentally proves that he is “out of touch” with the economy which I think is silly, and not worth being dragged through the mud. Its about one good sound-bite and beating the dead horse until it turns in to a fairy. That is what annoys me about politics and campaign speeches in general. It is perfect for playing to the masses of idiots that will do the majority of the voting in this country though without actually digging in and understanding the issues and viewpoints themselves.

Debates and media circuses influence voters for sure, but hardly reflect what is really important.

You hear it over and over because you’re paying attention. They repeat it b/c a lot of the times people who attend a rally, watch a debate are tuning in for the first time.

Most people don’t pay as much attention to politics as some of the people here.

My friend last night: (not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree) “Did you hear that obama associates with terrorists?”
:picard:

lol just as bad as the audio of the lady O&A were playing

“barrrrrack huuuuusain obamaaaaaaaa, I don’t want no stinkin terrorist with that name as president… give me hillary”

probably from somewhere in alabama

I just got back from lunch in rural GA. “At least McCain knows how to lead the military, Obama’s best friend is a terrorist… I don’t want him raising our taxes.”
