Around and hour & 35 minutes into things, McCain stated regarding his
choice of Sarah Palin: " she is a role model to women..." Why should
she be a role model to women ? In his view, she must represent the
total sum of what all women should strive to be: a media event. a
barbie doll. like his own wife perhaps ? thats how he likes his women,
basically unqualified but easily expolited.
I have a little news for McCain: real women do not need to have their
role models hand-picked by others. we can choose our own, thank you
very much. And one more thing: Sarah Palin is not qualified to lead
America in the event you are unable to fulfill your duties, assuming
you are elected in November. To me, you are confused, old and not a
well man. I know for a fact that malignant melanoma is a deadly cancer
and you have had repeated bouts.
In case you didn't notice it, McCain kicked Obama's sorry ass.
McCain scored big with the Joe the plumber exchanges, and with the
campaign tactics exchange.
Obama looked angry and stumbled repeatedly as he tried to cope with
what he really told Joe the plumber --guaranteeing the replay of the
clip again and again and underscoring Senator Obama's flexibility when
it comes to facts-- and with what John Lewis said.
Obama's answer on ACORN was a jaw dropper and opens the door to the
downstream media, as does the Ayers exchange. McCain drove this home
without going overboard.
Repeatedly returning to Joe the Plumber was key for McCain, and by the
last half hour Obama was petulantly telling Joe what the "right thing
to do by his employees" was. John McCain then spoke directly to Joe
and put a bright line around Obama's "spread the wealth" line, and the
"fundamental difference" between the campaigns. When Senator McCain
called Senator Obama "Senator Government," he scored. That's the sort
of thing that marks a great debate for McCain.
McCain accomplished more in just the first half of the debate than he
did in the first two debates total, and the second half was just as
good for him. "Spread the wealth" is now the Obama brand, and that
can move the polls. So too can the drilling exchange ("I so admire
Senator Obama's eloquence.") Senator McCain was animated and informed
through-out, and Sebator Obama on the defensive on many occasions,
including the "Born Alive Infant Protection Act." Catholic voters
watching this exchange could not be comfortable with the Obama
dodges. "Another example of the eloquence of Senator Obama,"
countered McCain. "That's the extreme pro-abortion position in
America," McCain replied to Obama's winding explanation.
Obama's mastery of his rote talking points is impressive, but they
failed him on key exchanges tonight. If the McCain campaign produces
a Joe the Plumber ad, and marries it to the Obama/Hoover jab it can
turn this debate on the economy while keeping a focus on Obama's
judgment when it comes to ACORN, Ayers and the rest of Senator Obama's
associates. A very good night for John McCain overall. Obama had a
chance to end the campaign tonight, but just the opposite happened.
Obama was in the prevent defense mode, and McCain moved the ball a
long way down the field.
Thanks to Joe the Plumber, and a brief moment of Obama candor along a
rope line in Ohio.

Nope. She's part of it. She turned on some of them, but used the
others to establish her base in Alaska politics. And to feather her
nest. Who paid for her house, and why did she block an ordinance
requiring building permits? Probably because she didn't want to make
public the companies that were courting her just as they were the
other corrupt Alaskan politicians by giving her freebies.

President Obama will be running this country very shortly. I hope you

You're as delusional as Palin ...
Let me explain why Obama lost big tonight.
Joe the Plumber.
At last, we have a face of the working Americans who Obama wants to
reduce to poverty.
Here's Joe -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDVM7ODUBn8
Take a look at the man. He's an adult. Take a look at how shifty
Obama is when talking to Joe.
Joe is the sort of man the Democrats used to have as their symbol.
Now the Democrats demonize such men.
So, go back to your little hen party, where you giggle at war heroes
and men who start their own plumbing business.
Over half of all viewers seem to disagree with you.
> At last, we have a face of the working Americans who Obama wants to
> reduce to poverty.
More like someone who is *already* struggling because of 8 years of failed
Republican policies.
Had Bush/McCain not wrecked our economy, Joe might already have the
quarter-million dollars he wants to buy out his boss.
LOL! A guy who wants to buy a business for $300,000.00 .... yeah,
some "poverty" ... LOL!
Or if he had an ounce of entrepreneurial sense or ability, he simply start
his own
business.
What a moron.
> Joe already has the funds to start his business. The question is, if
> doing so won't produce him any more money, why bother to start a new
> business and create jobs?
Fact Check:
It's not a NEW business, it's the business he already works for.
He's not planning on creating NEW jobs, just on getting more money for
himself.
Furthermore, since (under Obama's plan) taxes will only be raised on those
who earn more than a quarter million, he won't see ANY increase in his
taxes.
Oh, that's right, because the Messiah has promised to only raise taxes
on people making $250,000 - therefore, people like you are promised
free money for nothing.
Of course, The Messiah has voted for tax increases for people who earn
more than $41,000, but hey, why judge the Messiah by what he DOES,
rather than what he PROMISES during election?
Now, go pray to your god, Obama.
Then he ain't "buying a business" like the Liar McCain claimed, is he?
And Joe the Plumber would have to be one stump-stupid Repugnikkkan,
to not be able to structure and spread business income in excess of $250k
amongst his family/children to stay under any $250k threshold that
he seems so terrified of.
So what's stopping him?

If he really wanted to "create jobs", he could pay his employees more,
and offer them profit sharing in the company, which could be structured
to ALWAYS keep the company's retained taxable income below this $250k
threshold that Repugnikkkans seem so terrified of.
And what makes Joe think he will EARN more $$ than the current owner
is earning?
> The more such money is taxes, the fewer jobs will be created.
Bullshit. Joe could pay his employees more, including the new ones,
which would REDUCE the taxable income to the company.

Pack your bags, Repug, it's going to be a loooong time before you

Perhaps he thinks that being an *unlicensed* plumber puts him at an
advantage?

Not paying his Repugnikkkan taxes sure does ...

A guy who refuses to pay his income taxes and who opposes the one candidate
who would give him a tax break.
What a perfect example of the typical Evangelical Republican and Libertarian
voter.
Dumber than a bucket of dirt.
He's not a plumber you lying shitsucker.

His life is destroyed because John McShame told lies about him in a cheap
political ploy that backfired.
Now go fuck yourself, Repugnikkkan scumbag.
The U$ economy is already in ruins thanks to the Criminal Bu$h mob, jackass.
Burn in hellfire, repugnikkkan swine!
Obama has already promised to sign a bill making offshore drilling
illegal - doubling or tripling the price of oil. Think that the
American people were made with $4.50 gas at the pumps? What do you
think will happen when the price jumps from $2.70 a gallon $8 a
gallon?
I know that you giggle in glee at the though of Rush Limbaugh having
his show be destroyed by the Obama administration - but what happens

you're talking about 60 million angry Americans.
If all I were worried about was me having a good time, I'd support
Obama. The problem is that this fool will do actual damage to the
country. Even Biden admits that Barry is going to get the country
attacked by terrorists.
Since you brought up family, how about Obama letting his own brother
eat garbage, literally. George Obama lives on three cents a day - and
Barry lets him. And yet you have the fucking gall to question Sarah's
family?

Bristle is going to marry the father and raise her child. Obama would

Obama, (who made $4.2 million this year) lets his own brother survive
on garbage and three cents a day.

Nope, not even close. That's because Sarah was able to strong arm the
oil companies to pay Alaskans a fair residual for the oil they pump
out of the state.
Any other softballs that you'd like knocked out of the park, doofus?
Obama has never run a business. He has no idea the damage socialism
would bring.

How many businesses have you ever run?
Have you ever even had a job?
.
Joe talks of a man he knows who makes $60,000 a year by running a
business which employees two plumbers. Obama's new healthcare plan
would force him to spend an additional $10,000 on each employee,
reducing the man's takehome profit to $40,000.
The plumber could easily make $40,000 a year without the headaches of
running a business.
If Obama does what he's threatening to do, he will fire his two
employees, and take it easy.

It is not necessary to run a business to figure out the tax plan or to
just listen to what Obama has said. But you will simply ignore that and
make shit up.

That is two lies rolled into one. The Obama health care deal would not
force small businesses to provide health insurance and it it is not
possible to make 60k per year running a business that employs two $40k
per year plumbers. Not unless you are laundering money.

So you think working as a plumber is "taking it easy". You people are a
real scream.

Then he doesn't really want to run a business, does he? It takes a
certain type of person to do it, and "Joe's" bud isn't the type.
(BTW, "Joe" is not a real person. It's weird for you GOP guys to
talk about him as though he is.)

Not really an answer, is it? Obama has never run a business, and has

So much stupidity, so much arrogance, so few words.
I grew up in New Jersey. That state produced three towns which
embraced Obama's philosophy - Newark, Trenton, and New Brunswick.
Newark and Trenton are now burnt out slums. New Brunswick was pretty
much bought up pennies on the dollar from Johnson and Johnson, and now
it's a lovely town.
What Obama wants to do have been tried.
It never works.

Where did you learn your economic theory, anyway? The little man on
the Monopoly box? Just how much money do you think most small
businesses make? Many small businesses struggle to survive. They
often go out of business, and Obama's taxes will push many marginal
businesses over the edge.

Compared to running a plumbing business? You bet.
Whatever gets you through the day!
