RALPH NADER knows more than that knucklehead of YOURS does.

I am highly anticipating that debate tonight. It would not surprise me to know that Obama's team, working with their liberal friends in the media, probably already HAVE the questions that are going to be asked. Even if so, doesn't matter.

As we speak, he's probably standing in the mirror, trying to look presidential while rehearsing his answers.

What I particularly want to see, is what he's gonna do, if they are allowed to fire at EACH OTHER from time to time. He won't know what McCain might bring up, and his "spin doctors" won't be allowed on stage to whisper in his ear, "what to say."

Then we'll see what YOUR candidate thinks. Of course, he can always play it safe and say "Present." He knows how to do THAT.

Likewise, McCain won't know what Obama might ask, but he's been a senator long enough, "Been there, done that, voted on that" to handle anything he's asked, and I'm sure he will.

As always, I am NOT a McCain fan............but Obama?............No way. It ought to be interesting tonight.

It IS a joke. I don't like this McCain/Obama thing, and never have. As you probably remember, I was a RON PAUL supporter to begin with.

Not having their butts kicked enough yet, voters in this country CONTINUE to be Democrats and Republicans. They continue to put Party ahead of Country, and thus...... we once agin have "dumb and dumber" in November.

From my viewpoint, Obama DID handle himself a tad better than I thought he would, but the difference in experience was obvious. McCain knows a LOT more but, but then he SHOULD, seeing as how long he's been in there mixing it up in many issues Obama has only read about in HIS short tenure.

The only area I agreed with Obama, was the war. This shouldn't surprise any blog readers out there, because LONG BEFORE the debates, I have said repeatedly this Iraq fiasco was just another Vietnam. We should have got Bin Laden at the outset, even if it meant NUKING every mountain range in Afghanistan. I would never have put ONE soldier or Marine on the ground.

McCain meant well last night when he told the story of his bracelet from the mother of a soldier who didn't want her son's death to be in vain.

Well, sorry to say, but this Iraq thing has been ENTIRELY in vain. We have 58,000 names on a wall in MY war, that shouldn't be there...and IT was for nothing as well.

And if we "win" this, what have we won? The prepetrators of 9/11 are still running free, it won't be long after we leave (if we ever do), that the ragheads back there will start butchering each other again as they have for centuries, and if I know our government........we'll REBUILD Iraq for them, better than they could have done it for themselves.

Obama's side isn't so sqeuaky clean on Iraq either, though. His side DID allow Bush to wage this war without their declaration...and they HAVE continued to give his money to keep it going, even borrowing from China.........you know, that isn't something you can do without congressional approval.

To his credit, Obama DID acknowledge Israel as being a solid ally, something VERY FEW liberals have figured out. Fact is, if it came down to a "street fight", I think we would find Israel to be our ONLY ally.

I was surprised that Mcain missed such a good opportunity to hammer him a few times. On one point, Obama griped about the cost of fuel.............had I been McCain, I'd have jumped right into his case and reminded Barack that it was HIS party that blocked the artic drilling 7 years ago. Man, I'd have jumped on that.

I also thought that Obama was very rude. When you're given adequate response time, you don't need to be interupting the other candidate while he's trying to make his point.

After the debate, I was a bit surprised at FIRST, that Sarah Palin declined a "post-debate" interview. Upon reflection, I think it was probably a good move. Like Obama, she hasn't yet acquired the experience and knowledge to be "teacher-grading" the "term paper."

Like Obama, she's not quite ready yet to lead this country, (which is why she's starting out in the number TWO slot).

What I think WOULD have been cute, though.....she COULD have agreed to come on briefly, and when asked what she thought of the debate, she could have flashed that beautiful smile, popped right up in true Obama fashion, and chirped out "Present!".............hey, it worked for HIM didn't it?

I think she's saving up some ammunition (pun INTENDED) for Biden, when THEY meet...........and THAT ought to be good, eh? Maybe?

Ron Paul. He's still the right guy for the job. Can't do anything about it now, so my political priority is going to be doing whatever I can to at least keep Obama from the White House, if we can.
