Joe the Fucking Plumber!

Sweet jesus.

If this is how it goes, I will have a large knot on my forehead at the end.

2. Obama seems a little impatient.

3. Oooh.... "during the Depression we had..." And we ate squirrel soup too!

4. The overhead projecter. Dude, come on. It's the laser show!

5. "I'm not president bush!" Assholio!

6. "I got the scars to prove it." How many times has he trotted that one out?

7. The blinky smile is really creepy.

8. Oh he did not just go to the Lewis thing.

9. I gotta say, McNasty is on message. Not getting as flustered tonight, no "my friends."

10. Nice response... the American people don't care about our hurt feelings.

11. Christ on a crutch Joe the fucking plumber again.

12. Negative eleventy billion points from McCain for Gore-Sighs.

13. What the? I'm not going to stand for saying something about old guys in hats? Huh?

14. Right. Obama is back to the issues again. Not candidate fee fees.

15. Better refutation on Ayers than ACORN, but still calm. And nice job "says more about your campaign than it says about me."

16. I'll take running mates for 800 please. Daily double!

17. Sarah Palin, a role model to women and reformers! Bresh of freth air! And she understands reform! And special needs families! And Jenny McCarthy!

18. Again, turning it back to policy. Nice. Scalpel not hatchet.

19. Cockamamie! Even my grandpa who ate squirrel soup during the depression didn't say cockamamie!

20. Canadian oil is fine! None of that Venezuelan hootch! Which is what I would tell President Zapatero, not that I would sit down with him.

21. Semantic-y! Bad!

22. Just FYI.

23. Again, did he just go there and accuse Obama of "never going south of our border"? I'll bet he can't see Alaska from his house either.

24. Huh? Obama said "enforce unfair trade agreements"? Getting tired... hang in there.

25. Obama as Herbert Hoover. These kids today don't even know who that is.

26. Joe the fucking plumber again. Ye gods and little fishes. At least Americans are smart enough to know that five grand doesn't buy shit for healthcare.

27. Calm, factual, boring good. Nice putting the $12,000 in comparison with the 5 grand. And raising the specter of deregulation.

28. Just checked Sully's live blog, and he is talking about how the split screen does not favor McCain. Interesting. I am watching on Hulu.com, which is streaming Fox. Guess what... no split screen.

29. OMFG McCain just said that the Democrats have been in charge of government.

30. Please please follow up with a question about which other decisions are bad. Oh please.

31. Elections have consequences. And hopefully after this one it will be that the GOP will be in the wilderness for a good long while.

32. Lily Ledbetter! ROCK!

33. Why do they always have to conjure up unwed teenagers as the only people who get abortions? Most women who get abortions are already mothers.

34. Good, contraception and education. Bad, late term ban. Really bad, sighy mcsighersons. And health of the mother=extreme pro-abortion stance? Whaaaa?

35. Obama talks to his base: student loans.

36. OK, troops to teachers is not a bad idea, but skipping certification? With the current lowered recruitment standards, for criminality and education level, we're just going to fast track anyone into the classroom?

37. I know this is domestic chat, but someone (ahem) needed to bring up the black hole of spending in Iraq.

38. Autism! Sarah knows! Even though her kid has Downs!

39. Mmmm... data!

40. My friends! DRINK!

McSame McFail.

Decency, generosity, responsibility, investment. Good.

McCain: All bluster no meat. Obama: a little boring, but policy oriented, not focused on me me me but on the country and its people.

There's no way I could've sat through the whole thing. It's good McCain was sitting down and behind a table as it looked like if there hadn't been something between him and Obama he'd have tackled the Illinois senator to the ground on several occasions. Damn he looked angry.

And the sighing and eyerolling was on epic scale. Well into Gore territory (and beyond). I thought at the beginning that McCain hit hard, and was nasty, but jabbing well. Then it just got Snippy McCrankypants.

I've never hoped so much that America wasn't watching PBS. I can't stand all the perimeter bells and whistles, especially on my friends' HD rig, so I begged for PBS. Which I got. But no split screen. Having seen some of the Youtube everyone is culling, I'm hoping lots and lots and lots of people saw the split screen.

McCain had his moments, perhaps more than in the earlier debates, but this test was pass-fail, with the line between located somewhere on the positive side of "tie" for McCain. Hence: failed.

Obama missed a historic opportunity to deliver one of those memorable lines when McCain said "if you wanted to run against George Bush you should have run four years ago"

How about something like: "you are George Bush 94% of the time"

F**K JOE the PLUMBER! Dumbass, ignorant, skinhead. Despite the evidence, the facts, despite the Democratic Presidential Candidate's own words, he still thinks Senator McCain and the GOP has his best interest in mind? Lord help us! It's going to be Joe the Plumber's fault for 4 more years of this polarizing, dividing, leadership, coming from the White House.

patriot_x, I suggest a glass of Maker's Mark and a look at the polls before you get too carried away.

And really, if you haven't figured out by now that well over half of Americans are idiots, what kind of patriot could you possibly be, anyway?

I think it's actually Sam the Plumber. And he might just be bald.

This is so typical! At this point, screw racisim, I'm so ready to see a HUMAN BEING in the White House, I do not care from where in the universe he came from...

Let's get back to REALITY no "Joe the FUCKING not a plumber!"

PLEASE!!!!!!!

Let's take our country back from this insanity!!!!!!

Sigh. I suppose it wouldn't be October if the more volatile corners of the left weren't panicking. But I think even McCain realizes that it's all but over at this point. His staff will go through the motions and launch whatever nasty surprises they have left right on cue, the polls will tighten some, and then the election will go in pretty much the direction everyone knows it will.

And then we really get to see what the winner is made of, because it's a hell of a time to be taking over that office.

I'm not sure I'd want to be President come January. I don't think there is going to be money in the budget to do anything either candidates has promised. We've spent, what, about a trillion more than we planned six month ago? That can't just be ignored. We've spent something like six to seven trillion more than we planned eight years ago.

Congress doesn't do its job (it'll keep voting to spend more money); the President (whoever it is) will shoulder the blame for some very hard times.
