Well, as this was the Foreign Policy debate, Barack Obama, who has nothing foreign policy wise, actually faked his way through this one very well. He actually completely made up a whole answer to a question. The part about Kissinger was completely false.

Another thing... Why did they choose a moderator that has endorsed Obama?

I thought that the debate moderators were supposed to be partial?

I haven't heard that, but at least he can pronounce foreign countries and names correctly =) lol. But you know... Palin is really experienced, with Russia right next door and all...

I thought it was supposed to be the opposite. Usually, the moderators are chosen by their ability to not favor either candidate. But this debate's moderator(what's his name?) has openly endorsed Obama.

I don't care if he can pronounce things right. What I care about is what he's saying through those words.
And another thing... Palin is running for Vice President... She probably won't even leave the country during the McCain presidency...

Lol that is what I meant. Got my words mixed up ^_^

McCain is pretty old... it isn't entirely out there to reason that there is a chance he could die during presidency. And if he does, I do not want her running the country.

That's what they said when Eisenhower ran for president. And Reagan. It's an old (pardon the pun) tactic and, although a possibility, probably won't happen...

Soo are u for abortion&same sex marriage?


I said that I supported most of his views,but not all.While I am tolerant of these things,I do not support them,because of religious reasons.Anyways I do support alternate energy sources,and better health care.What I do not support is continuing a pointless war,by breeding off the fear of uninformed citizens,and only because you don't want to lose a war.This type of blinded pride is one of the things that I think slows progress in our world,along with intolerance,greed,and ignorance.While I don't quite understand why a christian would support abortion and same sex marriage,I do know that we need someone who will get us out of a financial crisis,and keep us out of it for a long time.If you want to say that off shore drilling is the solution then keep in mind that there is only so much oil out there,but limitless greed from those who sell and support it.Anyways I could keep listing off things about the reason why I would support Obama,but really I have other things to attend to today as well.

Well, McCain can also be looked as someone who sticks to his guns, and doesn't change his views to fit the audience(Obama has been caught saying to drastically things on the same day). Obama feels that he needs to be everything to everybody, and the last time someone like that was elected, we got the California Governor. Schwarzenegger is one of the most incompetent governors in the history of the state.

Could yo point me to the news article or speech or pubis appearance where Jim Lehrer endorsed Obama? I haven't been able to find it in a quick Google search.

I couldn't find it today, either...

My source is from Rush Limbaugh, who read Lehrer's endorsement on the air. And he's proven right 98.8% of the time...

Not so much. Actually.

Just as a couple of quick examples.

On the first link, I got a 404 server error, and for the second one, you've never heard of the word parody? Even if you count that, that's why he's only right 98.8% of the time. There is another 1.2%...

Its a good quality actually.
It shows that he actually wants to serve the interests of the people?

I don't think its fair to compare it to a movie star...>_>

I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to believe it unless you can provide at least one source besides Limbaugh, it's nothing against him personally as he does make quite a few valid points, it's just that he's rather conservatively biased and therefore more likely he see liberal bias when he looks around. Plus there's a major difference between somebody saying that someone feels a certain way and that person actually making a statement of their beliefs. As far as I can tell, Lehrer hasn't endorsed Obama, or any political candidate in his entire history as an anchor.

Sorry about the first link. Here's another (to sum up he was not charged with voter fraud because this kind of fraud is too hard to prosecute).
