Stephen said...

people: i'm opening another comments page. so we don't have to go to the second page. hold on...

paul said...

yes, let's prop up the housing market joe.

Stephen said...

oh wait. never mind. this is better.

Anonymous said...

petey: word

Stephen said...

second page. boo yes.

petey said...

my record on energy...

you can't relate eerything to energy.

foreign security...

Stephen said...

"east coast politicians" blah blah blah

Emily Frandsen said...

palin keeps only talking about what she wants to be talking about

paul said...

where's the second page?

petey said...

how have we not made mention of the rash are HSV on her neck...?

Stephen said...

oh...now we're going to talk about energy issues?

Stephen said...

oh...maybe it's just on a mac.

petey said...

since when did she start acknowledging global warming?!

that is a change

Stephen said...

my name is sarah palin. i ignore science.

paul said...

the lameness of biden not voting for the 700 billion financial rescue plan in glaring.

Stephen said...

i don't know what caused this, but i'm going to figure out a way to fix it. because that will work.

paul said...

'is glaring'

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

i really like her energy stances. good work.

paul said...

palin is filling the airwaves with nonsense so she can finish this debate without having to be coherent.

Anonymous said...

petey: I don't see no rash.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

I second pete on the talk about America.

paul said...

biden knows definitively the cause of global warming...wow. he's a smart dude.

Stephen said...

biden. nice on causality and solutions.

Anonymous said...

the cause is man made... blah blah blah. Hasn't been proven.

paul said...

hi mike!

Stephen said...

mike and anna!!!!!!!!!!! welcome.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

safe nuclear? i thought obama didn't like nuclear.

petey said...

i really like obama/biden plan on green collar jobs....

paul said...

democrats are on the right side of climate change... but let the private sector do it...

petey said...

i love it when joe brings up mccain's record.

so much more validating

Emily Frandsen said...

biden is such a fact man.
I agree on recognizing the cause to find a solution.

Anonymous said...

stevie: did you hear that? drill we must. hah.

Stephen said...

i'm proud of 'drill baby drill' what? seriously?

paul said...

did she just recount the lame 'drill baby drill' chant...

petey said...

i hate her forced smile when she buckles up

The Frandsen's said...

Global Warming is NOT definitly Man made, man does play a role, is it completely our fault? No. Al Gore is not God, what he says Is NOT actually Scripture!

Utah 3 Oregon 3

three min left in first quarter

Stephen said...

yeah libby: barack and biden support drilling.

paul said...

she said rape.

Anonymous said...

obiden? really?

petey said...

a natural pipeline that will never make it thru canada and native american lands

biggest waste of tax payer money in the country!

paul said...

hi darin!

Stephen said...

raping the outer continental shelf. nice jab at his earlier gaffe.

paul said...

very nice darin. very nice. biden just came off like gore in his lame certainty...

paul said...

pompous.

The Frandsen's said...

this is Darin by the way

paul said...

embily: biden is definitely good with facts.

Stephen said...

darin!!!!!!!!!!! welcome!!!!!!!!!!

oh, and science says global warming is man made.

petey said...

this moderator is not nearly as polished as lehrer.

Stephen said...

darin: we know it's you. trudy wouldn't give us a football score....

paul said...

the science said we would be out of oil in 20 years back in the 70's...

Emily Frandsen said...

boom shakalaka boom!
we're dynamite we're dynamite! boom!
defense! defense!
drill baby drill!

cheers palin learned in wasilla high school cheerleading...

Stephen said...

biden and obama don't go far enough to the left on this issue.

petey said...

i agree. i agree. i agree. i agree.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

same sex marriage rights...that's a touchy subject

paul said...

nice emily.

Stephen said...

so she does or does not support civil right?

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

thank you for the update darin.

petey said...

i love that she ALWAYS calls homosexuality a choice!
always.

Stephen said...

"i'm tolerant but i think gay people choose to be gay...ha ha....this vp stuff is so fun"

paul said...

wow. that is touchy for many democrats.

Stephen said...

that's too bad. they don't go far enough to the left.

paul said...

biden is backtracking on his former position?

petey said...

i really like obama's stance on marriage.

but give them all the rights protected under the constitution.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

that is such a lie. of course they believe in gay marriage. tell the truth, brother.

Stephen said...

did she just skip that issue?

paul said...

californian same sex couples have all rights that married couples do. it's just not called marriage.

petey said...

make her answer a frigin question!!

i don't like the moderator at all.

nail them! nail them!

Stephen said...

they don't support gay marriage, jonny. have you read their platform? did you just hear joe?

petey said...

why is so smily about the war?

is that weird to other people?

paul said...

it's true. they don't.

paul said...

i'm just glad she isn't rambling.

petey said...

paul.
stephen thinks there are so called 300 rights that gay couple don't share with their straight couple counterparts....

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

I don't like how they always talk about "winning" the war. Whats the deal with that?

paul said...

yes. shift responsibility to iraqis. i like it.

Stephen said...

biden's making a list.

petey said...

(in california)

Stephen said...

mikey; agreed. waying 'winning' is stupid. even petraues doesn't use that kind of language anymore.

petey said...

ohio women don't really like biden.

Stephen said...

guys. we are blogging this debate. nice.

Stephen said...

i say iffill is going easy on palin.

paul said...

good point mike. who cares if we can say 'we won'.

i have a great source for you to review on that stevie. not true. kaimi (from times and seasons) did a nice video presentation on the issue. (he doesn't support prop 8 either)

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

"um.."

Stephen said...

"white flag of surrender"

petey said...

it is not!
cut her off. correct her.

Stephen said...

she's definitely not backing down.

Stephen said...

um...isn't our military run by the president, not by the commanders on the ground?

petey said...

they can do it now.

pull out.

the commanders on the ground are apppointment by men who want to stay there

petey said...

left handed B-slapping his all over.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

is it required to wear an american flag on their chests?

Stephen said...

palin's winning.

Emily Frandsen said...

if we don't give them a chance to do it, how will we know Iraq is ready? you've got to trust in the training that's been given over the last several years

paul said...

it's nice how she complements his statments when biden complained about obama.

The Frandsen's said...

Pick Six Oregon, Miss extra point,
9-3!

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

yes, mikey.

paul said...

biden said he loves mccain.

Stephen said...

biden has a good comeback. nice.

paul said...

sweet darin.

Stephen said...

never mind. maybe its a tie.

Anonymous said...

he loves him?

petey said...

why is so eager to move on?
i don't like this moderator at all.

paul said...

pakistan is our ally. obama and biden are wrong on this.

paul said...

don't allienate them.

Stephen said...

foreign policy. here we go.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

I think I agree with Paul on Pakistan being allies.

Stephen said...

going too long, biden. succinct. succinct.

Anonymous said...

This is much better than last week's debate. Donchathink?

The Frandsen's said...

There's as much science against Global warming being Man made as their is for it, Science is not an exact science. Check the 70's when the same people were freaking out about Global Cooling, it's called "nature".

petey said...

paul.
i don't think he is alienating them.
i do think we need to strike in pakistan...

bin laden and co. need to be finished.

paul said...

we've got to work closely with pakistan to take out the taliban. i'm afraid palin talks poorly on this point as well.

Naomi said...

Naomi here. Quick overall opinion: I think Biden is here to debate; I think Palin is here to win votes. Biden directly addresses Gwen and Palin and generally is giving more direct answers; Palin speaks almost exclusively to the camera and seems to be steering most of her rhetoric to the soccer mom demographic. At this point, I'm more impressed with Biden.

Ouch!!! She just said Nukyular!

Stephen said...

does she say nuclear the same way bush says it?

Emily Frandsen said...

she can't say nuclear

petey said...

nuclear?

or nuclulear?

Stephen said...

it looks like her coaching has paid off this past week.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

she is not very eloquent on this subject.

paul said...

sure. let's strike. but do it in concert with pakistan's help.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

at least she didn't hesitate on pronouncing people's names. I can't pronounce 'em.

paul said...

diplomacy people.

Stephen said...

Naomi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! welcome!!!!!!! i think i agree with your analysis; however, i'm afraid her tactic, while maybe offending us because she's not here to debate, is actually winning the votes of soccer moms, etc.

petey said...

nice rececitation of the quizzing she got this last week

none of these thoughts are her own.

not one of them.

paul said...

hi naomi!!!

Emily Frandsen said...

I somewhat agree naomi. she's all show tonight and rehearsed phrases and doesn't answer the questions like biden does

paul said...

boring.

paul said...

move on.

The Frandsen's said...

Great Return by Utah, down to the 15

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

Naomi, don't you know that Mccain's campaign is only about getting votes. So of course Palin is all about it.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

obaba did say that.

petey said...

which president would get more countries to "back ya up?"

obama wins that contest hands down.

Stephen said...

he just said talk three times. nice.

petey said...

nice bidey, nice.

talk. talk. talk.

paul said...

obama and biden are right on this talking thing.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

really, he is saying the exact same thing that palin said. he just sounds a little better doing it.

paul said...

poor mccain and his senior spain moment.

Emily Frandsen said...

diplomacy through talking. that's Obama and that's what I agree with

petey said...

I HATE THIS MODERATOR!

paul said...

yeah. the party watch!

Stephen said...

gwen: give palin a chance to follow up on biden's points.

The Frandsen's said...

Paul, No VERSUS on your TV?

paul said...

israel is our strongest and best ally? she's looking for votes.

Stephen said...

can we get a clarification on this spain thing? i think its a pretty big deal that he is unwilling to commit to meet with a nato ally.

petey said...

she thought about trying to name the middle east leaders. then couldn't and just called them "leaders"

why are the repubs such fear mongers?
second holocaust? who is even talking about that in those terms?

paul said...

i do. this blog discussion is just engrossing me. i can't turn away. keep up the updates!

paul said...

obama shares his passion...

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

is biden jewish?

Stephen said...

Abject failure. this is the right thing to do. tie mccain to bush's failures.

paul said...

i thought he was catholic.

Stephen said...

biden is catholic, not jewish. but there is 'no better friend of israel in the senate than joe biden.'

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

i see...

Stephen said...

biden is proficient in foreign policy and it shows.

paul said...

ooh, look at the ohio women enjoying biden.

petey said...

this is the exact topic palin couldn't address when she was asked about hamas with couric...

paul said...

we both love israel. lame sarah.

Stephen said...

kum bay yah, my lord, kum bay yah.

paul said...

sarah said there have been huge blunder in the bush administration.

The Frandsen's said...

OSU holds to a field goal, 9-6 OSU

My wife was a cheerleader, they're HOT

paul said...

good for her.

Stephen said...

does she really not think that the bush administration has not been a failure?

petey said...

stephen: more than feingold or lieberman?

Stephen said...

at least in regards to our foreign policy? not a very smart move, considering bush's approval rating is so low.

paul said...

nice darin.

petey said...

puhlease!

mccain is so partisan.

and palin will out bush bush anyday.

Emily Frandsen said...

biden needs to look at palin more when he talks

Stephen said...

Biden: boo yeah.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

these are all talking points. better question, please.

paul said...

true that on palin outbushing bush.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

i think she's afraid to say things that might scare away her votes. She doesn't care about saying what she really is thinking.

paul said...

you can do it palin. you can do it.

paul said...

nucyuler

Stephen said...

what the? is she going to answer the question?

Stephen said...

shye's dropping the complete sentences again.

paul said...

kim jung ill reminds be of the beastie boys ill communication.

petey said...

"oh look at me. i can name two leaders"

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

melinda likes palin's hair.

paul said...

palin says, 'let's surge in iraq and afghanistan'...

petey said...

afghanistan: i have a few points i was told to read real quick.

ok thanks.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

don't you?

paul said...

obama does slip too often in these type of statements. he is often a closet europhile that comes out in these statements.

petey said...

paul.
nice.

win in afghanistan. good goal.

Stephen said...

"can we hurry and talk about everything that has been crammed in my head over the past week? I'm afraid i'm going to forget it all soon.:

Naomi said...

Hey, I think she said it right once back there. Nuclear, I mean.

The Frandsen's said...

Biden, we heard you the first time.....

petey said...

palin didn't get that memo this morning.

no one put it in her cliff notes to debate prep

paul said...

clarification. i don't want to surge in both locations. palin and mccain do.

Naomi said...

I would still vote for her for Senior CLass President, though.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

obama supports a surge in afghanistan. just last week, he said that we need to surge the troops in afghanistan just like we did in iraq!

jimbo said...

well said stephen, on memorized speeches.

paul said...

i agree on the moderator. this debate is running amock as she lets them say and do whatever they want.

hold their feet to the fire.

she has certainly allowed palin to regurgitate effectively here.

paul said...

hey jimmy james!

Stephen said...

We just changed the channel to NBC. so much better than CNN.

Naomi said...

Observation: McCain and Obama seemed to HATE each other last week. Looks of death flying back and forth. These two seem all too eager to agree with and "respect" each other. Is Biden worried about being accused of sexism?

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

biden kind of has a mullet.

Stephen said...

jonny: obama wants to increase the number of troops in afghanistan, but not replicate the surge strategy in afghanistan.

petey said...

more troops in afghanistan.

but not the surge strategy as was defined in iraq.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

that was my observation, not mel's

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

I'm on NBC too steve. and good point on the brain dump.

paul said...

oh yes. he's petrified of it. the media will slaughter him if he missteps.

Stephen said...

Naomi: i think he is DEFINITELY worried that he'll come across as condescending or arrogant or sexist. so definitely he is checking himself. they do look like they're in love though, huh?

paul said...

mel. you've definitely got their hair nailed...

paul said...

no stevie. biden is in love with obama.
