Third & Final 2008 Presidential Debate Thread

[Superman]

McCain?

[Ohma]

Yeah, low income families should have the choice to send their kids to expensive private schools!

Err...wait...

[TithonusSyndrome]

Competition. Among schools.

Among schools.

This... is this man for real?

[Superman]

Good on Obama: "No one is for abortion".

I'm so sick of the "pro-life" movement making the "pro-choice" movement sound like they are in favor of people having abortions. That sort of rhetoric curdles the mind. The argument is choice, not "abortions, hurray!"

No, Gil. See, you're either for it or against it! There's no gray... ever... at all. It's all either black or white, got it?

[Mr. Coffee]

This is like watching someone club a seal...

[CaptJodan]

Yeah, no tests for the military officers if they want to teach. Why should we hold them to the same standard?

[Eris]

"They left the money behind for No Child Left Behind."

So true.

[Jon]

MUCH better debate than the previous two, and a stellar performance from Obama. Three more weeks.

[apocolypse]

And quit fucking talking to "Joe". It's insulting.

Who the fuck is Joe anyway? Fuck that asshole Joe and his plumbing business.

Okay?! This fucker is getting all the screen time!

[Fleet Admiral JD]

Truly, the only honor that John McCain ever had was in the past. Lying Scumbag.

[Alyrium Denryle]

Yeah, no tests for the military officers if they want to teach. Why should we hold them to the same standard?

That struck me as insane.

[Karmic Knight]

Yeah, no tests for the military officers if they want to teach. Why should we hold them to the same standard?

Ok, so he did say he wanted unqualified teachers teaching.

[Mr. Coffee]

New drinking game... Every time John mentions Joe the Plumber everyone chuckle and chug thill the glass is empty. maybe if we all get good and drunk we can see things from the GOP's perspective?

[CaptJodan]

Yeah, no tests for the military officers if they want to teach. Why should we hold them to the same standard?

Ok, so he did say he wanted unqualified teachers teaching.

My best guess is that it was a plant to try and get Obama to "attack our troops". Otherwise, yes, it's insane.

[apocolypse]

Yeah, no tests for the military officers if they want to teach. Why should we hold them to the same standard?

That struck me as insane.

That caught my ear too. I was thinking, "wait, so you can bypass some sort of certification process because you served in the armed forces?"

[Mr. Coffee]

Why don't you guys support the troops? Do you want the terr'ists to win? Why do you people hate 'merica so much?

[FireNexus]

DOWN SYNDROME! DOWN SYNDROME! DOWN SYNDROME!

[Ohma]

Yeah, lets reform those programs! But lets not have any specifics about how we'll do that, platitudes work so much better.

[TithonusSyndrome]

Shut UP, John. It's the grownup's turn.

[Ohma]

BUT VOUCHERSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr. Coffee]

Oh for fuck's sake, there he goes again saying Palin's Baby Mulligan is autistic...

[applejack]

And quit fucking talking to "Joe". It's insulting.

Apparently it's some Ohio plumber by the name of Joe Wurzelbacher. Here's a Youtube clip of him approaching Obama:

[Temjin]

Oh god...

Obama: His education reform is 2000 more vouchers in D.C alone. That's it.

McCain: That doesn't mean it can't work!

[Fleet Admiral JD]

I cannot wait for Barack's argument.

Jesus, the local liquor store's going to be all out of booze if we did that.
