Well here we are listening to another show of condescending Biden
Sarah is dead on right about energy…
Oh…. he mentioned “the bridge” (lol)
Hi Rus.
I haven’t seen much condescending, though I’m hearing a lot from both touting about their running mates.
I agree with that. A few lies being thrown out there about O’s voting record. He had the chance to reign in these mortasge companies but did nothing. His party is in conrol and could pass anything if they wanted.
Global warming… here we go.
It has nothing top do with our lack of energy at home, it’s all GW
Listening to Biden on the climate…. and alternate energy sources. sounded good.
on parties passing anything they want. Remember that Biden is but one of many senators.
Alternative energy is great and we need to do that but right now we give forgein countries a trillion a year for oil. Could you imagine if we were able to keep that here, the jobs, the economy etc.. We need to do something now and work on all the alternatiuve energies now too.
We have to do it all right now. Doing just what Biden wants us to do keeps us handcuffed to the saudi’s.
Biden made good on benefits for same-sex marriages.
I agree with you on trillions to foriegn countries for oil. Agree again, more than just talking in a debate about doing something. I does have to be done now.
Sarah is doing well and had Biden against the ropes with energy.
McCain said we would have a prescence in Iraq for maybe a100 years… That meant the same thing as we are still in Germany, Korea, and every other place in the world.
Agreeing with Biden, I feel the war needs to be ended. Too many families have lost loved ones serving in Iraq. I personal would just like to see all of our troops home.
Sure lets tell the enemy when we are going to leave so they can plan on it. What a bunch of crap.
Point taken, about still having troops in other countries.
And I agree it has to end and it will. Believe it or not we are on the verge of vioctory the Dems don’t believe it, I do I talk toi the troops all the time. There is Peace spreading all over. The surge worked well and it will continue to as long as we support them.
Pulling out now wioll throw Iraq into a turmoil
Palin has proven the critics wrong. She’s no airhead. No policy wonk, but reasonably knowledgeable about the issues.
Me or Biden?
Scarry thought a nuke filled Iran.. They are very close and the whole middle east will turn into a fire ball.
Cindy not you, Biden
Dead on right Jim, she is on target tonight. Like I have been saying we have to let Sarah be Sarah and get the Bush bots away from here.
True, Palin seems to have lost her “story book telling” voice since the debate had began.
Sen Biden is knocking Gov Palin Dead on All foreign policy she is dead in the water on these important points, she is completely and totally out of touch on this topic ” WOW ” !!
Why wouldn’t McCain not want to meet with Spain? (I must have missed it in the news)
Yes she has, she know she has to prove herself tonight.
The editing in her past intervies was disgusting. Truy and watch the full clips and it will amaze you and anger you when you have seen how they worked over time to make her look bad.
IDK Cindy, I will find out that for you though. That is a first for me.
So far she’s only said “maverick” twice
I predict she’ll say it atleast 3 more times before the debate ends.
She mentioned about schools and “opportunities” in Afganistan, my biggest question has always been (for anyone) what about improving better opportunities here in America?
What debate are you watching?
Okay Rus, let me know about Spain.
I agree Cindy… We need to end all forgein aid. Keep our money here for us. Billions upon Billions go over seas.

No Rus staying in Iraq is a bunch of crap! The US has trained over 400K Iraqi troops we need a time line on pulling out and letting the Iraqis take over. {we can not afford this war any longer !!!}
I’m watching the VP debate, same as you.
Palin talked about Afganistan and schools, better opportunites… just question on supporting America.
You know, I’d like to hear more of all the candidates ideas for helping the lower income families. They’re are so many in this country who are less fortunate, mostly the candidates talk about “middle class”. Even if my economic status changes, there are so many out there who would be hit harder. Just a thought.
Ah…. that’s 3 times on maverick
Affording the War is one thing but just cutting and running is wrong.
What we have to do is force them to pay for what is going on, I was livid when I heard that they had such a surplus and we were paying for everything still.
We will remain in Iraq for support and support only. Iraq has to pick up the ball and run with it, time for babysitting is over. This is their country.
My God Cindy, I could go on for a couple hours on that issue alone.
Okay…. she said “gosh darn it” in a “story book telling” voice.
Rus, hours of conversation on pro-helping the low income families?
I hate to break it to Biden but Bush is not running. We want to hear a focus on the future under the new administration not the past.
What will the future be like in the US under O or M?
I fear all out socialism under O
A bipartisan country under McCain
I vote McCain he has a proven record, O has none.
I concur Rus its time that the Iraqis move on with running there own country. Call it what you will “cut and run” or what ever the Iraqis are prepared financially and troop wise. We need to pull out asap ‘ITS TIME’ the Iraqis are ready.
Oh yes. Face to face I would need an hour or two.
What they are already offered and how to get it. Healthcare is already there for anyone. Believe me. Food stamps, heap, HUD, rent, utilities etc. It’s al;l there alrerady just so much dam waste, fraud abuse and pork spending with this money.
With each one comes a huge government beauracacy, too many employees, to much paper work and to much government control.
What will the future be like in the US under O or M?
Since you asked…..
Under McCain, it’ll be like the Bush administration.
Under Obama, America needs the change to a liberal-minded Country since the last 8 hasn’t been a shining star.
oooh…. maverick #4
Okay…. so Biden just out did her “maverick” 6, 7 times …. 9, 10 times in one sentence. hahahaha! I think I caught 11 times Biden came to say “Maverick he (McCain) is not”.
returning to subject, there is a vast marity of low income who earn too much for financial assistance, yet have a difficult time making it from paycheck to paycheck.
I disagree so much Cindy…. Biden just said he isn’t going to change, so you expect change?
O has NEVER reached out to the other side, NEVER, not once. He is the most Liberal senator in DC even left of Hillary.
McCain and I have been in disagreements for many many years on many issues. Yet I see change in him.
Who has run congress for thew last couple years? The Democrats, they can pass any legislation they want. They have and look at the mess we are in. Yet as soon as O gets into office your taxes will go up. Call EsterG and go over your tax statement with here and she will be honest with you.
Everything has gone out of control in the last 2 years and Bush cannot do anything by himself. Congress authorizes all spending, and boy they have. Pelosi and Reid is what we will get more of under O.
I sure as hell do not want that. Their rating in congress is what 12% worst in the history of the country.
This has been the most divisive and vindictive congress and if that is what you want then vote for the same. And that is Biden and Obama.
Would you vote for Antoinne Thompson for President if he was elected Senate for NY? Hardly, 143 days as a senator does not give you the experience to do the job.
In the end this debate will be about whats best for the future of our Country {who is best} and not if Gov Palin did a good job and held her own. Listen to the candidates and what they speak of.
Palin didn’t say “maverick”, my prediction was off by one.
Good debate…
In closing statements, Palin did well, but I beleive Biden did better. His topics held most to the liberal view.
Palin said “reform” as much as Biden’s “fundimental” keywords, though Palin on reform just spoke the word, nothing outlining in how or what her ideas of “reforming” would be. I’d had like to have heard how/what.
Biden was more detailed in executing what he was speaking of.
I disagree so much Cindy…. Biden just said he isn’t going to change, so you expect change?
That would be great do you remember flip flopping A real Lib that would stick to his guns bring him on! All BS aside vote for the party that you feel would move this country in the right direction its clear to me.
O has NEVER reached out to the other side, NEVER, not once. He is the most Liberal senator in DC even left of Hillary.
Nothing wrong with being “left”
Rus, always a pleasure chatting you. The debate was good, I feel for both sides thinking. The best thing I enjoyed is a “left” hand shaking with a “right” hand at the end.
Thanks Cindy, nothing wrong with being Right!
Lefters have rights too.
Thank you for letting me join in.
Well we are wrapping it up here at Channel 4, it’s always fun doing this and we hope to do more in the future. I hope we can more interactive stuff. We could add so much more to the dialogue.
But, I will give credit where credit is due. Channel 4 is the only one doing this so Kudos to them for recognizing the importance of blogs in todays media.
I just saw it live on 4, the whole debate summed up with asking how well Palin did?
I thought there was more interest to the debate that just how Palin did. How come they didn’t asked how Biden did?
Palin was criticized on MSNBC for some fairly innocuous remarks about the constitutional powers of the VP.
They said nothing about Biden’s dubious remarks:
“Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that’s the Executive Branch.”
Partially true–but Article I addresses “The Legislative Branch.”
“And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there’s a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.”
Not exactly: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
“The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress.”
Not exactly–he is President of the Senate.
The point here is media bias.
