Presidential debate - October 7th

[Winnow]

Clinton was fat and lazy, did drugs, had scandalous sex and partied all the time while killing off anyone that could damage his interests. No wonder people liked him.

[Canelek]

Lol, Clinton. Nice try.


Reagan was actually a good president, IMO. Also, he was one of the better public speakers in the last 40 years or so. All presidents do shady things. If some decide that whoring is worse than running an illegal and unethical war in Iraq is on equal footing, than by-golly, you mavericks can continue to think that way. *wink*

[Gonzoie - Luclin]

My Cane, you are incredibly folksy. I support you.

If Obama ends up winning we are looking at the Carter administration all over again. Do we have a Reagan waiting this time to fix that mess?

Really dude? Obama = Carter?

Obama is the Reagan that fixed that shit. Bush is Carter.

It is not Obama solely that worries me. If we had a Republican Congress, Obama would be fine. The serious serious problem we could be facing is that not only is there a chance Obama could be in the White House, but that Congress will be controlled by Dems AND the Senate with a fillibuster-proof majority of 60. The last time we saw that was Carter. Incidentally, that was also one of the highest per capita violent crime Presidencies in the country's history. (I believe it is THE highest, but i do not want to make that statement without being able to put the numbers down term by term for you asshats.)

Dude, look around you. Everything is falling apart and Republicans have had full control of all 3 branches for 6 of the last 8 years. Sorry, but even though you will never acknowledge it, your party brought this on themselves with their utter incompetence and corruption. I'm not saying Democrats are guilt-free, but they are the only alternative, and I'm sick of watching your party ruin this country.

whoa whoa whoa there kemosabe. I am NOT a Republican. I just tend to back more GOP members than Dems because most Dems turn my stomach. If I had any one single person I would stick in the White House right now it would be Strickland and he is a Dem. He is just not a gun grabbing throw more taxes so everyone gets a free ride kind of Democrat. I jusge politicians solely on THEIR platforms and not the party line.

McCain, who is no racist, turned to this desperate strategy only as Obama started to pull ahead. The tone was set at the Republican convention, with Rudy Giuliani’s mocking dismissal of Obama as an “only in America” affirmative-action baby. We also learned then that the McCain campaign had recruited as a Palin handler none other than Tucker Eskew, the South Carolina consultant who had worked for George W. Bush in the notorious 2000 G.O.P. primary battle where the McCains and their adopted Bangladeshi daughter were slimed by vicious racist rumors.

No less disconcerting was a still-unexplained passage of Palin’s convention speech: Her use of an unattributed quote praising small-town America (as opposed to, say, Chicago and its community organizers) from Westbrook Pegler, the mid-century Hearst columnist famous for his anti-Semitism, racism and violent rhetorical excess. After an assassin tried to kill F.D.R. at a Florida rally and murdered Chicago’s mayor instead in 1933, Pegler wrote that it was “regrettable that Giuseppe Zangara shot the wrong man.” In the ’60s, Pegler had a wish for Bobby Kennedy: “Some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow falls.”

This is the writer who found his way into a speech by a potential vice president at a national political convention. It’s astonishing there’s been no demand for a public accounting from the McCain campaign. Imagine if Obama had quoted a Black Panther or Louis Farrakhan — or William Ayers — in Denver.

Op-ed, but with undeniable facts.
