Five" thing making it forbidden to go there. Barbara Boxer (god bless her) took that on today and I about did a dance right there in the break room at work watching her.

We need to have this discussion. Our economy was essentially STOLEN by robber barons, and the only time this was addressed was by McCain to say that "good lawmakers are in prison because of all the money in politics." Where's the PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY? Abramoff et al in prison because they're crooks -- not b/c "the devil made them do it."

1. Because Obama was too busy saying..
"you were right John"
sounds more like Kerry saying "I agree with bush"
Son of a bitch. McCain basically said "Obama you are an idiot"
why can't our people fight better. Give me a fucking democrat with bare knuckles

3. i agree. the "you're right" thing only achieves one objective: to appear bipartisan.
well, we GET THAT already. now lets kick some ass.

i'm not very happy with this debate. rationally, i know Obama won -- but that's not enough. the gloves need to come off.

2. It's a mistake to think that in order to win, have to be a vicious
attack dog. Let Biden, and the 527s handle those things. I think you'll hear Keating 5 repeated over and over.

The media will unravel mccain's lies.

Obama just needs to appear presidential, and let mccain hang himself with the rope that is his record.
