		<description>So, Dave, are you still maintaining that left-wing hatred of Sarah Palin is mythical? Did you ever come up with any examples of C-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n Pridefest&#039;s where people joyously called for the death of all teh gheys. Still waiting for proof on those items.</description>

		<description>TGC, my only fantasy about you is that you will be able to channel your hatred in a productive manner before you hurt others and perhaps in time finding healing so you don&#039;t hurt yourself.  Oh, and reading lessons might help too.</description>

		<description>Obama during the debate: &lt;a href=&quot;http://perfunction.typepad.com/perfunction/2008/10/obama-sexuality-is-sacred.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Sexuality is Sacred&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.

This is actually a strain of thought from Wiccan and Pagan belief. &quot;As each person is an aspect of the gods, whether male or female, our sexuality is sacred, &lt;b&gt;however we manifest it.&lt;/b&gt;&quot;

So, according to this philosophy... Folsom Street Depravity ... sacred. Bathhouse barebacking and bugsharing: ... sacred. Middle school janitor drags a 12 year old girl into the broom closet ... Sacred.</description>

		<description>McCain has a disorganized thought process and he muddles his answers. That&#039;s why he has lost every debate. Points that he should make at the start of an answer, he&#039;ll bury halfway through. He routinely includes subjects that have no business in a given response, often in scatter shot fashion. Then there is the question of tone, which has also been a problem. McCain is just a very poor debater. 

The Clinton-Obama debates were much more competitive and they agreed on nearly 95% of the issues! I know conservatives cheered the long drawn out Democratic primary, but it laid the groundwork for Obama and helped to clear obstacles he would&#039;ve otherwise had to clear in the general election. And the idea that Clinton Democrats would break with Obama was always bunk. Obama is now polling nearly 90% of Democrats in key battleground states.</description>

		<description>I think while McCain stuttered and spluttered tonight, he did land some very good blows that will plant doubts about Obama&#039;s readiness in people&#039;s minds. 

Unfortunately, he missed more such opportunities than he hit, but still, he did plant, or reinforce, some important doubts.</description>

		<description>I guess I am one of those supporters that the FOX news panelists said are discouraged. 

Gentleman John McCain just cannot deliver a knockout punch. The judgement issues associated with Obama&#039;s associations and the lack of examination of his socialist views cannot seem to get the traction they deserve. This tsunami of bad economic news is the October (and September) surprise that candidates fear. 

I read all the conservative blogs about this poll and that poll and how polls are wrong as shown by polling numbers of previous candidates during such and such election year. 

To me it all seems like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic or German military strategists move troop non-existent troop battalions deep in a bunker while the Soviet Red (or in this case, Blue) Army rolls through the streets above. 

At this point, the Project Runway finale seems more relevant.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see- the two things you wanted McCain to do- he didn&#039;t address Obama&#039;s leadership in crisis, although he did talk about Obama&#039;s policies in a crisis when he talked about how Obama would raise taxes and stop free trade and turn a recession into a depression.

I think McCain did show his awareness of the current crisis, notably by going to Joe the Plumper over and over again.  He still though didn&#039;t make clear conservative arguments that voters would understand.

I&#039;d also like to point out that other goods came of this debate- Obama showed that he favors solidarity over labor leaders in Columbia over free trade and our allies, and that he thinks judges should judge on fairness and not the US Constitution.  Will avarge voters pick up on these ideas- no, but that&#039;s too bad, because they are important.</description>

		<description>McCain has had cancer surgery on his left cheek.  Would you like to know why he can&#039;t use a computer keyboard, think back to his five years at the Hanoi Hilton.</description>
