DU this please DEMAND THE DEBATE!
« on: September 24, 2008, 08:20:38 PM »
Is the left so clueless that they'd rather the Senators talk on TV than solve the nation's problems?

let them know what a coward McCain is.
Here is what I wrote:

This is an outrage of epic proportions from a campaign who has hidden from the press. This isn't American Idol, this is the American Presidential elections and the American public deserves to at least hear from McCain/Palin regarding their policies.

I have never been so disgusted in my entire life at the transparent efforts to manipulate the press and the people and now the debates. We are in serious times and we deserve candidates who put this country ahead of their political careers.

 Yes. Yes they do.

 :banghead:  Having a political debate rather than being in D.C. and doing their job is putting country before politics?   :hammer:

Of course, then they could complain that McCain wasn't in DC trying to solve the problem.

Like a handful of extreme socialists can influence anything.

B. Hussein is claiming McCain is chickening out, that was to be expected.  The only way McCain can counter this is by showing some real leadership over the next couple of days.  Then the question will be whether B. Hussein is capable of doing the same.

they are idiots - they think that McCain is backing out because he is weak on the topic of foreign policy. Letting Obama have the stage to himself would be the best result for them, but whatever... Try to force McCain to kick Obama's ass. Go ahead.

Me thinks that the soooooper genius that is the Obama has fallen into another trap.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Ok first off for any trolling DUmpmonkeys, McCain said "reschedule" and not "cancell".

And then there is the obvious problem of have your candidate up on a stage without his beloved teleprompters, do you really want that to happen?  I...uh....and....Bush is bad, there that ought to tell those rethugs I'm the man!  :rotf:
A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.

Um, yes.   :banghead:

But on the otherhand, if Obama postpones the debate and goes to Washington to like, you know, do his current job, It might become obvious that he cannot do anything except give speeches and campaign.

You know, sir, you are right.

Here it is, more than 24 hours later, and there's been only three different primitives at this bonfire.

And the original primitive has bumped it a couple of times.

The primitives aren't paying attention to it.

Perhaps, subconsciously the primitives know it's not going to be good when the Big Zero debates John McCain, and are hoping the inevitable is staved off.

With the Big Dog saying that McCain is not afraid because he wanted more debates is going to put a bit of a hole in this fart balloon.

It might be best for the DUmmies if McCain did miss the debate. I figure that Obama has a slight chance of actually winning the debate if he's the only one there.

He doesn't stand a chance against himself without his teleprompter.  :rotf:
