Description:
The Vice-Presidential Debate will be happening tonight at 9 pm ET. With both candidates already being criticized for some pretty major gaffes during their campaigning, what they have to say tonight could make or break either candidate. A large portion of viewers are expected to tune in simply for the entertainment value.
So did you watch the debate? Who do you think won?
i have a question.based on the theory that carbon dioxide is what is causing global warming,then what are we gonna do when we exhale?we exhale carbon dioxide and plants need it to make the very thing we need:oxygen.so if al gore wants to keep on talking about how co2 is killing the ozone then i just wanna say"Shut your mouth,Al!"this is just a natuaral cycle of the sun.it has happened before.just look at the ice age and the period before that.it was really hot and then everything froze.i do believe that was way before the "spawn of all evil":the car with it's evil gas.
i think it funny how everyone thinks that governor palin is some airhead.if she was this said "airhead" how in the world did she get where she is?now if you think you are so smart(by the way there is a difference between being intelligent and being smart)then why dont you go and run for mayor or governor?and judging mrs.palin on her daughter's mistake is just not right.her daughter made that decision not sarah palin.and at least she is sticking to her belief that abortion is wrong.if she wanted to she could have her daughter have an abortion.abortion is wrong and it takes a strong person to keep a child.another thing is that he wants to take responsibility for their actions and apparently he loves her b/c if he didnt he wouldnt marry her just b/c they are having a baby.more men in this country should be responible for their actions and take care of the childern they help create in the first place.
You're so right Meg. I can't believe people are actually condemning this family because they have made the right choices. Wouldn't you just love to know how "perfect and mistake free" were the lives of all those pointing fingers at this?
I think Sarah Palin is not very intelligent and she is just a screamer. The ohter is she is just lying about her daughter, that guy does not want to marry her and they are pressuring him and his family to get married.
So she's not intelligent then how did she get to where she is now? She's a strong, independent, and smart woman. People are generalizing her to be stupid just because she was a beauty queen, that's ignorant. And how does her personal situation have to do with anything in the political aspect; it doesn't.
isn't it funny how us women are just supposed to vote for palin because she is a woman. i don't vote based on gender or race i vote on there beliefs on the issues i care about. and i think palin doesn't have a clue what those issues are.
Biden Knows what his doin, pali not a clue
it's just sad that there are people that fall for the bush/palin good ole boy/girl crap. people think they know her cuz she winks and calls you joe 6 pack. haven't you learned from these last 8 years. you dolts will run this country into the ground.
palin is great for all those hockey moms and joe six packs out there gosh golly ghee joe.....for the rest of us a vice president who realy could address the real issues would be great and biden didnt gosh golly ghee sarah and didnt look like a fool...i am a woman and i can bet that hilary would not have made women look like they dont need to be in office...
No, Sen. Biden was perfectly informed on issues such as global warming, the constitutional role of the vice president, and Henry Kissenger's perspective. I bet a lot of Democrats were also surprised to learn that they now do not support gay marriage....
well if sen.biden hadnt of lied about that you might know the truth.he has been a strong advocate of gay marriage for years.you dont just change you mind about that over-night to appeal to a whole new crowd.and no sen. bide was not very informed on the constitutional role of the vice president.
That entire statement was made with a stong dose of sarcasm...sorry Meg, I should have made that more clear. I think Biden is a snake....in fact now I am totally sure in light of his attitude and references to poor "Joe the Plumber"....that just shows you where this ticket is coming from and their real attitude toward the everyday American.
neither one supports gay marriages. but doubt if Obama/Biden would step in and over rule each state's rulings on the matter. Not to sure about McCain/Palin though. More important issues like economy than this issue.
my apologies for the double post.
Anyone who votes for McCain/Palin, particularly for the fact of Palin's presence, is a brainwashed baffoon.
This lady was a crooked governor over issues she took personaly in her own town and state. At the debate she was a complete robot answering questions like she was aMcCain commercial.i have NO clue what her job will be in Office if they get in.
I used to have marginal respect for mccain, even after he oicked her. But as I have learned more about what she is really about, and WHY he picked her (vote-gaining tacics, that's all--she will be uselss after his elelction if he gets it), I lost any and all hopeI had for him.
I DO NOT want this psycho polego (rampant political ego)chick ANYWHERE near our highest office.
Whether you like Obama or Biden OR McCain or not, she pretty much soklves this election. She is tragic for us.
McCain failed miserably. What happened to you man?!.
I already have a mom, I don't need another trying to feed me morals on how to live, especially as any presidential figure.

It would be awesome if you could please provide some resources so we can all determine what Gov. Palin is "really about." ....seems like at least an equal amount of Alaskans are quite pleased and proud of thier governor. I assume much of your harsh assessment of her is coming from the troopergate fiasco (left-wing driven)...if you read a little on it you can actually find an endorsement of her from the ex-brother-in-law....who admittedly did things wrong and even acknowledges he should have been punished. He still has his job BTW as does the commander in charge. There are always two sides to an issue and we should at least explore them fairly if we are going to be honest with ourselves.
I found your last statement the most interesting in that you felt the need to actually demean her based on her morals. Point being she has some....she didn't kill her sweet baby or encourage her daughter to do the same.....which many, many, many would have done in the name of political expediency if for nothing else....she has a lovely in tact family...she likes soccer and hockey. ...and she's pretty and smart and has a proven record. Geez, how awful. Much better to have the alternative: force homosexuality on all of us, force us to teach it to our kids whether we agree with it or not, encourage abortion to run rampant, create a bigger welfare state because after all gosh, why should everyone have to work and make their own way, right? All of these things basically aim to destroy the traditional family unit. "As goes the family....so goes the nation." While we are at it we can feel real comfortable that all of our enemies are pleased as peaches with our new leader....phew. Better keep them happy.
While you were on the witch hunt over Sarah Palin, in the name of fairness did you bother to google some important names linked with Obama (after all he is the one running for president) like Franklin Raines, Tim Howard, Jim Johnson, Nadhmi and Ibtisam Auchi, Rezco, Fintrade, Siddiqi, or Muhammad Hassan Chandoo (check out his website if you want to find the ultimate in "maturity" it is sure to give you confidence in our potential new President Obama to see who his buddies are and what they are up to)? Chandoo is one of his bundlers, I believe. That's just the tip of the iceberg but you have to actually do the work yourself because you can bet the MSM won't do it for you. Happy hunting!
well i got part way thru the vice presidential debate. the inevitable question came up about gay marriage. thats where they lost me.i wonder how sarah palins friend feels about her response. its nice to know that i would still be a second class citizen if mccain wins. hell not even a second class citizen. im good enough to protect and defend this country as long as keep my mouth shut about who i love. i did that for eight years. i watched my buddies come home in pieces and body bags. and destroy themselves with self loathing and alcohol trying to prove that they were good enough. to overcome the stereo types. most of us got so disgusted and tired of what we were doing to ourselves to prove to people who werent listening and realy didnt matter that we opted out in record numbers in the 1990's. and we were dam good soldiers. ive got the medals and ribbons to prove it. my company comander tried everything he could think of to get me to stay in when my contract was up. we were good enough to protect and defend and to give our lives for people who judged us unworthy of being created equal and to have the same rights as provided in the constitution of the united states that all men are created equal ,but us.
and then theres the under god part. let ye without sin cast the first stone. mankind was created in his image, all mankind.i thought your christian god was a kind forgiving loving god. ive known since i was six years old that i was different than most people. i just didnt know how until i was older. than i learned i had to hide from people who i loved. i didnt understand why because no matter what i did or how hard i tried i couldnt change it or control it. and if i didnt hide i would be ostrisized, beaten, taunted, harrassed and judged. and believe me i suffered all those things and more. we are always an issue in a presidential campaign but none of my fellow citizens has the courage, conviction or sense of right to stand up and say this is wrong so im going to change it. no intestinal fortitude anywhere in sight.
God loves you no matter who you love.i dont have a problem with gay people.my problem is people trying to force me to accept the lifestyle they live.and there is no man on earth who has the authority to judge any other.everyone says straight people are too harsh on the gays but they have become really harsh on the straight people.so who have truly become the victims?
I'm proud of our u.s.a. and canadian soldiers,and am proud of you,alot of people have fear in what they do not know, no-one has a right to judge gay people or fear gay people, my friend is gay,I'm not but who cares I'm sure ,with the amount of gay people in this world god would'nt judge so why should everyone else.
I believe Sarah Palin won the debate It would be nice to have 2 people that understands the basics fo life and honors the flag and what it stands for
Everyone "understands the basics fo life and honors the flag and what it stands for". People have forgotten that all the candidates are Americans just as much as the other person. They all understand the basics of life.
Thanks for having this forum Emily. Go Sarah!!!
Thanks for having this forum Emily. And go Sarah!
I am from Wasilla Alaska, Sarah Palin's home town and were all for our home town girl!!! GO SARAH!! We are so proud of you.
I started watching late, then turned it off after 10 minutes. Palin smiled continuously, and eventually had what in Texas is called a ahit-eating grin, which translates roughly to "I'm better than you because I'm real and you're not". It occurs when someone else is dominating a comversation thet the grinner just can't participate in. At first opportunity, the grinner gets back to talking about beer and barbeque and them Cowboys (or Cowgirls). Some people might see it as "bowed and bloodied by unbroken", while others would say it looks like pride in their own ignorance. I'm not a supporter of ivory towers, but I want my leader to be smarter than me, and comfortable that they are. Down to earth doesn't mean dirt for brains. Palin is not Margaret Thatcher or a New York senator, both of whom I could see as president.
totally agree on the margaret thatcher thing but hilary?naw.did you not see joe biden??he constantly had that smile on his face!then you see how it turned into a frown as soon as she made a great point.b/c it just so happens...he knew she was right!
No doubt about it Sarah Palin won! Joe Biden with his fake, bonded looking smile...makes me want to vomit. If he and Osama Obama get in I would love to be able to leave the United States. Well, if they were elected it most likely wouldn't be the US anymore. Obama has never even held a REAL job and people are dumb enough to think he can run this country? Give me a break! And I'm so sick of the actors, actresses, singers throwing their opinions out at everyone. Sure makes me, my family and friends know who to not support at the movies and at concerts. McCain and Palin for 8 years!!!
McCain/ Palin All The Way!!!
I think both did very good jobs, definitely admired how they were respectful toward each other...especially Palin toward Biden. I also didn't approve of how Biden said the global climate change was ONLY due to man. That was just extremely dumb on his part; nothing can be caused SOLELY by one thing. It is both man and natural changes of the Earth and the climate, there is actual proof for the natural change. I also agreed with Palin on how Biden kept of bring up the Bush Administration, he justed used that as a shield or deflector of sorts. Overall, Sarah Palin did brilliantly...she made multiple brilliant points.
