Why do we have to spend more when government on the cheap has worked out so well for us, right New Orleans?

dave3544 said...

I thought Barack did well with the spending scalpel

dr said...

What the fuck was the 'climate control'/'climate change' correction about??

dr said...

d3 - righto

I think I saw this debate guy on a scooby doo episode on the stain

lex dexter said...

this is an ass-whipping, reminiscent of the Four Horseman kicking some wankers ass at War Games, 1985 style.

dave3544 said...

Can both of you please pretend that you don't understand how a world commodities market works for the sake of pandering to stupid voters?

dr said...

45 new nuclear plants! I'm no green, but that freaks me the fuck out.

wobblie said...

Barack Obama. Keepin' it real about energy independence.

dave3544 said...

The answer is yes!

wobblie said...

btw - fwiw, Obama looks "presidential." McCain looks cranky.

Anonymous said...

agreed

wobblie said...

Obama kicked ass there.

Car Carpet said...

words, yes!

too bad mccain is so mocking

CPS said...

what? I thought he was from South America?

speaking of travels.... sarah palin?

dave3544 said...

I wish the Dems would hit back on job training.

"John, our workers don't want to spend six months in a community college learning how to sell phone plans. They want jobs. Working on cars. Making steel. Feeding the world."

That's what I want to hear.

Yah! Labor leaders in COlumbia.

Obama: "enforce unfair trade agreements"? Oops

wobblie said...

Can we nationalize the Big 3? Gaaaaaaaaaah...

Anonymous said...

i think mccain is practicing his stare

dr said...

Shorter McCain: Obama says he believes X, but I say he believes Y. My friends, Y is really bad. Also, can you trust a man who says he believes X when he really believes Y. Try my product.

wobblie said...

dr - Boom!

dave3544 said...

Obama is pegging this answer on CNN. The whole time with women. Sometimes with men as well.

dave3544 said...

Community health centers????

Now who wants the government in health care?

dave3544 said...

The women hate Joe the plumber

wobblie said...

I think Joe wants to see a fucking doctor, John.

dave3544 said...

Boom!

wobblie said...

"Joe the Plumber" is McCain's code for "Walton Family." You'll be fined, Wal-Mart!

Anonymous said...

off the subject, we stood in line for almost an hour yesterday to vote early in the atl

dave3544 said...

John's got something awesome to say...!

unionboy said...

I thought the health care system was broken in this country. Now I realize all we need to do is put health records online and it will be fixed. Damn!

dr said...

Obama: exactly right. Yawn.

wobblie said...

Obama's rocking the simple math.

wobblie said...

I think Obama's doodling.

dr said...

What is McCain talking about? Did he even understand Obama's answer?

Anonymous said...

I think we might see some interviews with Joe soon.

wobblie said...

Senator Government?!?

dave3544 said...

CNN voters hate McCain's health care plan.

dr said...

"Senator Government"?

This is the Freudian slip campaign.

CPS said...

Poll bump coming this week for BHO.

dr said...

(It's actually Senator America)

wobblie said...

Joe, I want you to spend hour after hour searching the internet for cheap insurance and on the phone with unresponsive customer service.

lex dexter said...

DON'T get me started about electronic health records.

dave3544 said...

Did McCain just wink?

These voters who need the money are going to be traveling the country to make their picks?

roe v wade...

wobblie said...

Short answer. Judicial philosophy matters.

dave3544 said...

Alito?

Not Breyer. Alito.

wobblie said...

Wait. Never mind, wrong question. John got me all off track.

wobblie said...

"Litmus test" is so 1992.

dave3544 said...

It's not a litmus test. But if they disagree with this one decision, they are automatically not qualified.

dr said...

America likes Roe v. Wade. Who'da thunk?

Joe6paq said...

I love John Sidney McCain III's pronunciation of the word "rather" as "RAW•thur". It's like a slap in the face to Dan Rather.

dr said...

I will not appoint an acidic judge to the supreme court.

The Republicans have been trying to overturn it for over a decade without success

dave3544 said...

Is McCain going to talk to Joe?

Fuck, Obama. It doesn't matter if there is a god damn family or not. : (

McCain came out strong at first in this debate, but Obama has caught up, I think. How about you?

dr said...

Equal pay for equal work = a trial lawyer's dream.

Ok. Good to know.

wobblie said...

Ignore the legislative procedural stuff, please.

dr said...

Ooh, here comes the baby killer attack!

dave3544 said...

I thought OBama did a great job on the abortion question.

dr said...

wobs - good advice.

lex dexter said...

yeah, i love it when john mccain gets all anti-equal pay for equal work.

wobblie said...

Teen fucking = "cavalier activity." I love it.

dave3544 said...

Obama is pegging it.

dr said...

Shorter McCain on abortion - I know this is an impressive hole, but I think I'll keep digging.

dave3544 said...

"pro abortion"

Obama reaches across the aisle, McCain slaps it away.

wobblie said...

More us bashing! Yay!

dr said...

Hit the teacher's unions!

Anonymous said...

What the hell is "pegging it"? Does that mean his fucking McCain up the ass with a strapon?

lex dexter said...

teachers unions?

dave3544 said...

Teachers' unions!

Why is it always just a "young woman"? Why not the young mother and father?

dave3544 said...

ss: metaphorically, yes.

Sorry. CNN has a focus group tracker running real time.

Pegging is all the way up.

McCain: Unlike my opponent who supports charter schools, I support charter schools.

Anonymous said...

Hey, let's reward teachers with more salary, PLEASE.

wobblie said...

So, being a POW not only qualifies you to be a president, you can also be a teacher.

unionboy said...

the way to improve education is to have teachers that aren't certified?

dave3544 said...

McCain: An uncertified ex-soldier in every classroom!

Anonymous said...

I hope he asks them about the No Child Left Behind bullshit

CPS said...

Actually what we really need is more desks.

Anonymous said...

let's get radical and support alternative approached to education

wobblie said...

Ouch! Bus!

dr said...

I forget, how much are we supposed to drink when the candidates say "teacher's unions"?

dr said...

When McCain was a POW, he didn't have any damn union!

Anonymous said...

they never say how they'll determine a teacher is bad. this usually equals more testing of young children

Anonymous said...

Honestly, I don't think either of them will help the public school system

dave3544 said...

The CNN crowd just flat out hates John McCain now.

dave3544 said...

Obama is just talking about progressive discipline. Just like in every union contract. In other words, nothing will change.

Fuck head start. Believe me.

Oh. My. God. Precious, special interest... I mean needs, children.

I didn't even know that Sarah Palin was autistic. Explains a lot, but now I feel like a total jerk.

so much research is already being done. they're just ignoring it.

dave3544 said...

McCain's education plan. Vouchers and more money for autism research.

wobblie said...

Heh. Heh. Heh. I'm John McCain. I'm an asshole.

Let's make all our children autistic!!

McCain has nice mandibles, baby

dr said...

If it's good for McCain to take on the Republicans, then transitivity suggests that it would be bad for Obama to take on the Democrats. Just saying.

dr - I think I just peed my pants. Thank you.

did mccain just "good job" him?

If anyone's interested, there's a reactions thread over at The Bellman. If I were you, I wouldn't comment there while people are still responding here.

dave3544 said...

new thread?

dr said...

I thought it was sweet that they finally touched.

dave3544 said...

Bellman? I'm there.

wobblie said...

Me too.
