Presidential Debate is on!

I'll be honest, this is pretty boring.

There isn't enough of a clash. The attacks on each other's credibility are like small pokes. No one has done a good attack on the other.

McCain- Allround Tax
Obama- Income Redistribution

These are things I think we knew before the debate.
 
Yeah I second that thought, this is boring and i DEMAND to see cheapshots and lipstick on a pig dammit!
 
same shit different night. i'm not hearing anything new.

wnyc.org you can stream it from here.

i'm thinking of starting a drinking game where you take a shot every time the word Maverick comes outta mcains mouth.
 
yeah, youd think they would be fighting eachother with words! This is boring!
 
yeah, Mcain keeps talking about reaching across the isle and Obama keeps going on about cutting mid-class taxes.
 
O.o McCain just said nuclear power is safe and clean. This seems to be getting more and more interesting.
 
Obama is attacking his plan, but it isn't enough. He needs to be ready to attack John McCain more.

McCain is just attacking his voting record. I know why people do that, but that kind of attack is extremely easy to redirect with the explanation of motives and the obvious difference in responsibilities of being the President versus being a Senator.
 
Yeah i see Obama trying to retaliate but he needs to be more aggresive. And McCain is talking too much about eachother's voting records.

That's because it is? Nuclear Power has already been proven to be the most reliable, safest and cleanest form of power we have... There has not been an accident in a Nuclear Power plant in this country in over 29 years. There are literaly a hundred safety measures in place to make sure something like Three Mile Island never happens again... Meanwhile, there are accidents EVERYDAY at oil and gas refineries. Oil and Gas refineries also create large byproducts of waste and pollution; Nuclear Power has no pollution and the byproducts are minimal.

Remember those rolling blackouts about 2 years ago on the west coast? Just ONE more Nuclear Power Plant in this country would have solved it without any issues. Creating that same amount of power with Oil and Gas Refineries would take dozens of plants, create so much polution and generally drive land values into the ground. So why dont we have more Nuclear Power Plants? Bleeding hearts and Environmental Fucktards who have no idea what they are talking about complaining about Nuclear Power.

A new Nuclear Plant has not been built in this country in almost 40 years. Not to mention, Nuclear power releases our dependency on foreign power. Its also a lot cheaper. Nuclear Fission is a free process and anyone can do it without having to depend on finite resources like petrochemicals and natural gasses. Frankly, out of everyone running for Presidential Office... I think Joe Biden is the most qualified; certainly not McCain or Obama.
 
Obama just shot down Mccains health care with the whole tax arguement...I really feel like this is a re-run. if i was in the debate i'd just flat out say "My opponent is an asshole and you sohuldnt vote for him." that would mix things up :D .

and jaxel is 100% correct about the nuke plants. I've written term papers about this. There are emergency call centers for nuke plants, and millions of other safe guards. Chernobyl happened only cause Soviet Russisa had a Coal Engineer running a nuclear plant. Its impossible for something like that to happen here.

that would be epic and an insta win for whoever said that. And sorry Jaxel about that post, im being an idiot about nuclear power plants.
 
We need some virtual fist flying actions. McCain is afraid to use the labels involved with income redistribution. If we weren't in an economic crisis, I think he should cry socialist. That is what I would have done, but because of the issue, I'm voting Obama. I honestly don't see a good angle for McCain to use for the economy.

I think he needs to take lots of hypothetical situations that involve the use of experience and historical context to test Obama's mettle in pretty much all fields. I think that that is his best chance.

I am not a huge fan of fission, but I agree that we must consider it. The biggest concern of fission waste is the amount of time it takes to undo the damage or residue. I really don't know how long lasting other forms of pollution are, but nuclear waste lasts for a good 30,000 years. This is an energy source that would be good now, but not something we really want to see become permanent. I am personally still waiting for a cheap and effective fusion reactor.
 
A fusion reactor would make a big difference right now wouldn't it? Also McCain is showing any backbone, he kinda just sits there and pokes at Obama's voting history.
