20. Aw no you don't...Edwards calling Bitzer on a "plant" question?
Your candidate is by far and away the most ignorant, ill mannered, so called presidential candidate to come down the pike. He is no where near qualified as presidential timber. He's a divisive sob! I'm glad the audience showed him just how they feel about him by booing him several times as he spoke. My only regret, they didn't boo him off the stage.

6. Thanks, always forget how to spell the Ghouls last name, so I just put Rudy.
Edited on Thu Nov-15-07 09:54 PM by calteacherguy
But that's what he said. The truth. Yep, he said it! "The upper 6% is not the middle class!"

10. Obama's performance is tentative and unsure of himself..
Edited on Thu Nov-15-07 09:56 PM by Tellurian
He definitely does not appear confident with his answers.

22. I actually agree.
He did not want to say he would give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. They finally got it out of him, though. I disagree with him on that one issue (and he surely knows it is an unpopular view), but he is still my favored candidate.

27. I disagree with him on many issues namely,
His handling of the McClurkin Gospel Tour and his disrespect towards the GLBT Community and for the Baby Boomers who he's quoted as not having any use for.

You probably disagree with me on this but He is not ready to accept the mantle of this next presidency. He lacks seasoning and gravitas. imo..

31. That's a new one
Six months ago he was defending Obama on things like his, for instance, his experience. One month ago he was attacking Obama on things like his experience. Now he's back to defending Obama on things like his experience. Every position ever held by Obama has been defended and attacked at one point or another by Calguy. It makes me laugh when people act as if he's credible.

21. I LUV'd her defending not raising taxes on the upper 6% to shore up Social Security.
And a wonderful moment where Obama called her on it.

25. FACT-CHECKING HILLARY ON SOCIAL SECURITY
'From NBC's Mark Murray

LAS VEGAS -- She said, "Social Security was on a path to being solvent into 2055," when talking about
the fiscal situation Bush inherited -- and then squandered -- when he took office. But again, we must
make this point: A 2001 Social Security Board of Trustees report, released just a couple of months after
her husband left office, said the program would remain solvent until 2038, not 2055. And now, Social
Security's solvency is 2041, per the Trustees.

Also, she said that raising the income cap on Social Security taxes would amount to a trillion-dollar tax
increase. Yet the AP overheard Clinton last month telling a voter that she might consider such a hike on
that cap, if there was a gap in protecting those making less than $200,000.'
