Who Do You Think Won the Debate (9/26)?

Obama won easily!

And this was supposed to be McCain's strong part of the debates. :-)

I realise that there hasn't been anyone who isn't an R or a D in a debate since Perot in '92. It doesn't seem fair to exclude Nader this time since he's accounting for at least 8% in some pre-election polls and is on in 46 States.

Kim, I guess they were afraid of inviting Ron Paul since he might have (especially in the current economic climate) brought up HR 2755 perhaps

I did see a total of around 20 minutes of the debate on CNN video this morning but, tbh, between the two there are more similarities than differences.

Balanced, hardly...it was my opinion after all. The blame game doesn't fix anything.

Bother...of course not...small things never bother me.

To me - two candidates is not a debate - where's the third party. We should all be offended as hell that they are not including third parties in these fiascos.
Next debate between two of all of the candidates, I think we should boycott listening to any of them until we are "allowed" to hear from ALL of them. I hate this dictatorship.

That, I am afraid, is the truth. I am so disgusted that so many are still so unaware that these two party candidates are always part of the elitist crowd and are just passing the elections back and forth between them - same crowd in control, just an illusion of a turn over. Until we get them out of power nothing "changes" except the dissolution of our constitution and rights.

If, people don't "get it" this time around - we are out of time, we've "HAD IT".
See that pretty bail out coming? LOL -- As I said in another thread -- we are saying "no bail out" and we are saying it so strongly that they have never heard from their constituents in such large force before - we have jammed phone lines, faxes, emails, and are sending "santa clause" amounts of mail saying "NO" - -what are they doing? "Revising the package". Uhhh.....we didn't say "water it down" we said "NO". But as soon as they water it down people will nod and say "HO - they listened to us -- they did a good job" even though any move that requires citizens money is ILLEGAL as hell and FASCIST enough for Hitler to smile over it. This comes from an Admin we never even VOTED into office (either time).

Of course the average citizen sits and drools at the tv and still expects the Mainstream media (now owned by 5 companies who are very well installed into the elite class) to give them one real stitch of news doesn't see this - but for the educated, there is no excuse to fall for this decent into fascism. Unfortunately, much of the educated class is profiting at the time from this travesty. That will change soon - and by then it's too late.

While you are completely correct that the third party can't win this election -- it is more of a prophecy than impossibility that this is so. All it would take for them to win is for people to vote third party - plain and simple - vote third party and depose the elitists.

If people don't get it right this time around, our country is finished. It's written in flashing neon..not hard to figure out any more. If people still want to drool about "conspiracy theory" they are too far gone to count on to help save this Republic. And if the "watering down" of a bail out that over 100 million voters just actually voiced their refusal to accept doesn't turn people's heads enough to do something about, then they won't get it until we have our troops in the streets.

The most we can hope for at this point is that people will actually examine the voting record of their own congress people and kick anyone and EVERYONE to the curb who voted for the patriot act, amnesty for telecoms, the bailout, and any other fascist, anti-constitutional little trick that been played on us over the last eight years.
NO UNCONSTITUTIONALLY VOTING INCUMBENTS standing this time -- if that is done, we won't see McCain or Obama leading a decent into fascism or socialism.

It's a nice dream - but our people, en mass, can't be trusted with the responsibility of voting for their own constitution. We will just have to wait until November to see if they vote fascist or socialist - either way it's gonna raise our forefathers right out of their graves.
