lol We're going to talk about climate control. I have automatic climate control... .how about you?

Obama just reach back and pwned McCain again on cutting spending.

SARAH PALIN HAS A SPECIAL NEEDS KID@!!!@!

McCain is going to tell us how Palin would be a better president than Biden.

Yeah, that hopefully will put that to bed <not likely> Obama should have said, "John, the same people that funded Ayers have donated to your campaign"

McCain's a psychotic rabbit on espresso again....

OK, now McCain's gone off the lunatic fringe....

McCain is defending the supporters who have been yelling "Kill Him" about Obama by saying "But they were wearing WWII hats!!! They're HEROS AND PATRIOTIC!"

Now McCain is already acting cranky and interrupting Obama

McCain is whining about Obama having so much money to spend? Are you kidding me?

this debate is sucking bigtime.... it's not telling me anything

Oh this outta be good! "Say it to each other's face"

Zing! Obama: "If I occasionally mistaken George Bush's policies for your policies it's because you've supported him on every major economic policy"

ugh... Obama is dull..... All he needs is a chalkboard and an overhead projector and I'm back in a boring Economics 101 class....

McCain totally overboard on this second question.... "What would you cut?" I'd use a hatchet and then use a scalpel. Wow! This is bad.... he's all over the place! Skizto rabbit on espresso! Note to McCain: Don't mention that you can remember the last depression.

McCain pwned Obama on that first one on style. I believe in Obama's plan over McCain's but that's because I've read it. If all you've seen is this debate, Obama fumbled it bad...

yikes, and McCain is throwing it away with sarcasm and rolling his eyes!

Ouch. Obama crashing bad on the opening question.

Right out of the gate McCain looks pretty good. Best yet. Clear and on point. Obama is on the defensive.

1. "His taxes" are just the planned expiration of Bush's tax cuts. Business survived... thrived even.. under the Clinton tax setup. 2. I *really* need you to link where you're getting your statistic that 2/3s of small businesses make over $250k as well as a definition of what is considered a small business. 3. A company with 40 employees: a. A good comptroller will make sure that the cost of doing business is as high as possible on paper. b. If they're making well over $250k a year in profits, we'll call it an even million (you don't pay tax on a loss remember), their tax will go up 4.6%, 35% to 39.6%. That means that on $1m in profits, the business would pay $396,000 in taxes instead of $350,000. An increase of $46k. "But wait! That could have been another job!" you scream. Fine.. the company hires that new developer for $70k a year. Now their profits are down to $915k (consider healthcare and other employment costs). The tax becomes $362,240. Sorry..... but your OMG OHNOOOZQ!!! doomsday scenario just doesn't play out.

I never stated that MORE government is the way to go. Taxes are not the only measure of the size of government. We DO need financial market regulation. Do you have any idea what CDSes are or how they work? The "market" made up a way for you to take out an insurance policy on the house of someone you don't know and then collect when it burns down. It's a $63 trillion a year ponzi scheme. COMPLETELY irrelevant to the topic of economics. If McCain can't run a successful voter registration and get out the vote operation... how is that Obama's problem? So... the solution to the problem also happened to be the cause? Just parsing the logic of your words there. P.S. Inflation is not the cause of stagnant wages. Then it's not being run right. Fire the comptroller and hire someone who know his &#036;h&#33;. Cutting taxes on companies that don't have an income because their middle class customer base has dried up is like throwing logs on a fire that was put out with a firehose. 'Taint gonna work. Less government involvement got us where we are. We need to regulate/eliminate the CDS ponzi schemes. We need to regulate the mortgage market. We have proven, yet again, that pure, unbridaled, caveat emptor capitalism just feeds off itself in a frenzy till it explodes shattering millions of lives.

I got about two thirds of the way through before my laptop sighed and started typing out the same response all on it's own.l

That new stump speech? Not so new aktually God I love Jon Stewart.

You know WHY they got lower approval ratings? BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T STAND UP TO BUSH! When Bush is no longer in office, that will no longer be an issue.

No... he just has lobbyists for genocidal dictators working for him.... come on, GM4life... don't be dense. The guy worked for Saddam Hussein and now he works for McCain..... that's a bit bigger jump.
