10-15-08 Debate

When you watch the debate on CNN, there is a meter at the bottom of the screen that enables you to see how the uncommitted voters who are in the same state feel about the topics being discussed by the presidential candidates.

I'm rather upset that the voters aren't showing more drastic feelings regarding the issues. They have been rather neutral about many of the issues and it doesn't allow viewers of the debate see whether or not the candidates are getting across their views.

John McCain keeps interrupting Barack Obama... and I'm getting REALLY frustrated. He asks questions, and Obama goes to reply and McCain interrupts him.

If you're going to ask questions, give him the chance to answer!

Next, I LOVE THE QUESTIONS about why each of the candidates' running mates would be a good president over the other.

FIRST, Biden has experience. Palin does not.
SECOND, Biden agrees with Obama on issues. Palin disagrees with her running mate on several.
THIRD, Biden fights for the little people. Palin is wonderful because she can touch base with families who have special needs kids.
FOURTH, Biden can give examples of Obama's policies. Palin will get back to us.
FIFTH, Biden has experience with foreign policy. Palin has foreign policy experience because of Alaska's relative location to Russia. Right?

The woman would not be the leader our country needs. Say that to the voters McCain.

If for some reason, the presidential candidates were unable to be president. Biden would dominate Palin as President.
He has the credentials. The experience. The knowledge to run the country.

Governor Sarah Palin can't lead a country because her daughter hasn't aborted her child, or because her husband is a great guy, or because Russia is close to a city in Alaska that she's never been to, or because she has a special needs child.

I love that Palin fights for families with special needs children. I think that it's great that her daughter is going to keep her baby, as abortion should NOT be used as a contraceptive, that is what birth control and condoms are for.

However, Obama made a wonderful point in saying that helping families with special needs children will need FUNDING.

A spending freeze will not do this, John.

Thank you Obama. For pointing out that we need to build an economically efficient automobile IN THE UNITED STATES, because GM is falling. I was born in Michigan, GM country. The automobile was developed in the US but we're falling behind Japan and South Korea's automobile technology... that should NOT be happening.

I'm sure that another blog is well on its way
