I wished the 2 ol' guys from the Muppet Show would appear and harrass McCain & Obama

Wait a minute, is Obama serious? American's make a 'quality' automobile so we can stop purchasing "From Japan"? America TAUGHT the Japanese quality CONTROL during the 1920's...They mastered it. Hello???

The American worker couldnt even build a quality TOASTER at this point, but then again when all the J-O-B-S were shipped to Mexico (aka US South) thanks to B--- C----- and his NAFTA bill, it is hard to have QUALITY in this country for even a toaster manufacturer.

Obama is giving his same ole same ole.

Many assume I am so pro Obama. I am not. I think he is a bad choice for the D's and I do not really like him. But, I'll take him over four more years of W, which is exactly was McCain is selling no matter what he or anyone else says.
The way McCain staggers around is uncomfortable to watch; granted much is due to his injuries during Vietnam, which obviously are life-long, but it certainly can be distracting to watch him walk around like a robot.

Is that the first time he used the "nailing jello to the wall" comment?

"The straight talk express lost a wheel"

That sounded like a previously planned comment.

God, if I hear about the "94 times he voted" . . . I do not like any of those stats because they are ALL spin. On both sides.

It is. But, I have seen him move before. So, I think it is more than that. But, who knows. I am sure he is rather shaky after the last few days, to say the least

I am unsure, but I liked it.

I also liked Obama's "straight talk express lost a wheel"

At least there are some zingers.

I love how McCain says fixing Social Security is easy to fix and then offers no plan whatsoever. Ditto for Medicare, other than form a Commissioner

I can't stand to watch Obama...

He looks TOO similar to my older brother. All he is missing lighter skin, a bong in one hand, a 24 pack of Coor's in the other - and of course the ever popular word "F**k" used every other word.

Where does McCain get the notion that nuclear fuel is clean? It results in reactive waste that is a bitch to store as it takes like 25,000 years to become safe.

Also, how anyone can support McCain's health plan is way beyond me. I mean it works great for the young, but try and pay for health insurance when you go over 40 or 50.

Plus and again, deregulating the health care industry is just insane - the health insurers already let greed corrupt any altruistic intent.

Yeah - McCain sounds like he is practicing some anxious breathing as you have already noted. I can't figure out if his legs or hips are the problem, or his arm and shoulders.

Oh, and I thought it was interesting to plug Warren Buffet as the "possible" Secretary of the Treasury.

I thought the same thing about McCain's suit. It doesn't fit him at all.

I am with you on Obama. He is a bit of a deer in the headlights, but like you say, he's better than McCain.

I don't think he'd take it. If I had like $50 billion, I sure as hell wouldn't want that BS

I never understood the health care issue, If American Indian tribes can offer 'free health care' for their tribal members why doesnt THOSE geniuses in DC use a similar program? The tax-payers are providing the tribes with the money for coverage, shouldnt be hard to do for everyone else.

Yes. What I want to see is the ability to get in to see a specialist without waiting 6 months to get an appointment! I paid out of pocket for my health insurance when I was in private practice, and it was ridiculous. I have herniated discs from a car accident that need routine care and medication, and my first party medical benefits from car insurance were long surpassed, so I had to have the medical. Spending nearly $400 a month was cheaper than paying for prescriptions out of pocket. I don't know how some people afford meds without insurance.

That's because it is easier to support 2 million people than 298 million.
